    Tinnitus Spike While Grieving (Trigger Warning: Sudden Loss of a Loved One)

    Thank you for sharing this incredibly painful story. I cannot even imagine what it must be like to lose a loved one so suddenly and unexpectedly. It's really no wonder that your tinnitus has spiked because of the shock and grief. Most likely, it will return back to what it was before, but it...

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    @SafeMusicFan and @Nocca -- first of all, thank you for your kind responses and suggestions. :) As luck would have it, we are in fact working on translating some materials into different languages. @Tim Dziwisch is working on this project. I believe we already have a volunteer for French, but...

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    Thanks for caring and wanting us to succeed! Yes, we are keenly aware of the importance of social media. We have posted quite a few shorts on Instagram, and some of them have gotten up to 300,000 views. I'd say that's a pretty stellar result for a non-profit run mostly on volunteer power that...

    Tinnitus Week 2025: Best Tinnitus Research of Last Year?

    It's that time of year again. The time when we try to make noise about tinnitus, and no one listens. Just joking of course, but it does feel like that at times. This year for Tinnitus Week, we hope to be the bearers of good news and interesting updates. Here's what we gathered up for you :)...

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    Yeah, the doctor is hugely disappointing. Unfortunately, when it comes to media, you don't get to control the narrative or who else they interview. That said, we see mostly upside in terms of exposure and awareness, and this really is a milestone to celebrate! :) I am very proud of Jack's hard...

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    To everyone who asked whether our live events are recorded (@IYIiKe, @EDDTEKK and others), yes they are! You can watch all past events on the Events page of the Tinnitus Quest website. Absolutely, we should do that. However, you may have noticed that Tinnitus Talk underwent a bit of a makeover...

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    Thanks for asking. There's no research news yet, because we need time to raise enough funds to start giving out grants. So the progress so far is kind of boring organizational stuff -- which nevertheless are very exciting for us, as all of it brings us closer to our goal of silencing tinnitus...

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    Hey, Nick! Thanks once again for being an active participant in our events. One thing that became abundantly clear to me—especially during this Q&A, more so than the previous ones—is how shockingly low the general level of knowledge is among 90% of tinnitus sufferers. This became apparent from...

    Announcement Welcome to Updated Tinnitus Talk!

    Yeah, we're trying to re-add that now, thanks! :)

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    Hi all! Lots of interesting comments and ideas in the last few days. I was off organizing and celebrating my mom's 80th birthday yesterday (it was great) and back now, so let me respond to the latest posts: It's not a crazy idea to collaborate with them. We are in touch with Dr. Shore, Jon...

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    Hey! Yes, I recall speaking to Dr. Galazyuk at the 2023 ARO conference. Of course he’s free to apply for a grant once we open up for applications. One thing I want to note, not be a bummer or anything, is that there have by now been quite a few drugs that seemed promising in animals but failed...

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    I do agree that important progress has been made! But according to what I know, none of the things you mention have proven to be a silver bullet yet. I don't think very highly of Lenire at all, which the company itself has admitted is merely a habituation aid. I am hopeful, but I have a good...
