Hi Michael --

Are you getting 30 or 33 treatments? Barry's getting 33 -- he started the 10th but lost one treatment due to Labor Day and one due to machine being down so his last day is the 27th, not the 23rd as it would have been if there had been no skipped days. Dang! (He has 10 left) You started on the 15th?

Hope the tinnitus is getting better -- I know my ENT had some suggestions but at the moment I can't recall all of them -- biofeedback, acupuncture were two-- apparently some people are helped by ginkgo as well. (I wouldn't take this while undergoing treatment however!) Probably see an ENT afterwards for hearing assessment and see what they suggest.

Hang in there! We are as well...

Gail and Barry
