Note from the group leader(s):
"We ended the year with a wonderful talk on psychotropics in general and the classes of drugs and their use by psychiatrist, Dr. Krelstein, who also graciously answered everyone's questions on medications. For our first meeting of the new year I will briefly talk about some of the current information on the use of rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) for tinnitus. This treatment is still in the experimental/research stage but may offer significant help to some. In February, we will present the results of the tinnitus survey that you and 400 others completed. And in March we will present the results of our hyperacusis study. We are still looking for subjects with hyperacusis who would be willing to participate in some testing. If interested please contact myself or Dr. Tracy Peck.

Please let us know if you will be attending the meeting. Donations happily accepted."
