    TheraTin: Theranostics and Therapy of Tinnitus by Means of Spatial Hearing

    The Brandenburg lab is also in Ilmenau - I think it's named after the inventor of the mp3 file format, Karlheinz Brandenburg, rather than the State of Brandenburg...

    Thanks! :) Covid is declining/gone, but ringing still more than usual. Hopefully it'll go back slowly... It's so sad since June was my most silent month since outbreak, and sometimes I woke up in almost-silence and even could do without masking. Now starting all over again :(

    Chit Chat and All That...

    Which one? I think there are several companies offering it. Haven't done it, but would be curious!

    In the end, I also got the Covid... Feeling a slight increase of the ringing, but no worse than the last cold (which subsided again).

    Tinnitus Seems to Be Somehow Linked to a Crucial Bodily Function, Studies Hint

    Same here! And many others here have reported the same. Maybe there's something about it indeed...

    Tinnitus Models — Learn How Tinnitus Originates

    New paper: "The blinking eye as a window into tinnitus: A new animal model of tinnitus in the macaque". Notably the authors list includes Josef Rauschecker, who was on the Tinnitus Talk Podcast in the past.

    The Bionics Institute Claim They Have Found a Way of Objectively Measuring Tinnitus

    Indeed there seems to be some work in this direction, for instance: Generalizable Sample-Efficient Siamese Autoencoder for Tinnitus Diagnosis in Listeners With Subjective Tinnitus

    It got better again, thanks! Pretty much back to normal (with the usual fluctuations), which is bad enough though :(

    NeuroVR Device: Neurofeedback to Treat Tinnitus

    I can confirm this, too @koffee_monster and @AfroSnowman. Sometimes I wake up in silence, but only for a short moment, my brain immediately starts to wonder where the tinnitus is and suddenly there it is... So thanks for posting this @Christiaan, please keep us up to date!

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Just a recent study on prevalence of somatic tinnitus, since this topic has been discussed in this thread in connection with Susan Shore's device. At least half of the veterans screened had somatic/somatosensory tinnitus, even though one might rather expect noise exposure than orthopedic issues...

    Transcranial Stimulation Treatments (rTMS & tDCS & tACS)

    Some interesting news in this context. If I understand correctly, this technique has been applied somewhat "randomly" in the past, hoping for positive outcome. Maybe this research can help make it effective in the future. Tinnitus is not mentioned explicitly, but certainly falls in the larger...

    TMJ Tinnitus Aggravated from Invisalign

    I'd also be interested in experiences with this topic! My orthodontic treatment as a teenager did not work optimally and since then my bite has been disturbed. Teeth in upper and lower jaw do not really fit together well, I bite more on the right side than on the left side. I also grind my teeth...

    Were some scary days (but did not cause the panic attacks I had during onset, that made everything much worse), but I hope it was just temporarily and I'll return to the normal baseline (bad enough, but clearly more managable).

    Fortunately, I can report some progress here. The spike mostly declined with the cold (which was pretty heavy, from bronchitis to the whole throat/nose region, so that ear pressure could not really be balanced anymore).
