    Having a Conceptual Idea of Curing Tinnitus

    The idea is simple but the technology is not there yet... In short: My tinnitus cure concept is to remove affected "outer hair cells" from inside your cochlea. Look at the below image for what is inside the scala media of the cochlea: Long version: 1. Mapping affected outer hair cells...
