    Nudge: Tinnitus Feasibility Study ("The Best Technology for Interfacing with the Brain to Improve People's Lives"

    I got another email from them asking me to create a portal account and to have a Zoom screening call. They seem very active in seeing if they can start trials, which is great. Unfortunately, I am not from California, and I don't think I can make the trip. If you're in the region or able to...

    Nudge: Tinnitus Feasibility Study ("The Best Technology for Interfacing with the Brain to Improve People's Lives"

    I emailed their team, and someone named Elise responded, saying they are currently finishing some of their other studies. She said they hope to reopen the tinnitus study, fill out their general interest form, and keep me updated. If you haven't already, go fill out their form. It takes 1 minute...

    Nudge: Tinnitus Feasibility Study ("The Best Technology for Interfacing with the Brain to Improve People's Lives"

    This is a great find @Nick47, thank you for sharing. I think there's real potential in this area to help tinnitus research as a whole. On their main page, they showed what they hope will be a future helmet device that can be worn anywhere. It basically looked like a headset, and that would be...

    Neurosoft Bioelectronics: Implantable Electrodes to Treat Tinnitus

    I just read the Tinnitus Hackathon report and thought it was great. When I read the names of attendees at the bottom, I saw Nicolas Gninenko's name, who is the CEO of Neurosoft. Was there any update regarding their clinical trial? Have they hit any roadblocks, or are they still on schedule to...

    Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS)

    @Nick47, I believe this has one of the best chances of helping us find relief. Tinnitus is heavily influenced by plasticity, so I think repeated treatments might lead to permanent improvement. In this paper, 40 seconds gave them up to 2 hours of change, so why wouldn’t 30 minutes to 1 hour...

    Sound Pharmaceuticals (SPI-5557 & SPI-1005)

    @Alberte, some people feel like this can help tinnitus or, at the very least, keep it from getting worse. The company's CEO also believes it can help with tinnitus. The FDA hasn't approved it, but they gave it the fastest track, so hopefully it will be on the market sooner rather than later.

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    I saw the video with Jeff Teräväinen. I thought it was amazing, and it's great to see Tinnitus Quest growing. We as a community have always had a hard time getting celebs to talk about tinnitus, but that seems to be changing. I'm sure Tinnitus Quest will only get bigger and bigger with time.

    I just emailed the company to ask when they plan to start clinical trials and whether they will be open to people outside China. If anyone is interested, their email address is on their website if you want to ask.

    Germany to Invest €500M Over the Next 10 Years for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    Like the title says, Germany is planning to invest 500 million euros over the next 10 years for CFS. The first thing I want to say is that I am extremely happy for these people. CFS is a terrible condition, and I am glad they are getting the help they need. The second thing I want to say is that...

    I’m not sure about this one, since they spelled tinnitus wrong, but it’s still great to see more and more research and attempts to cure this disease.

    Prof. Thanos Tzounopoulos Receives $2 Million Grant

    I just finished watching the whole video, and it was insightful. Dr. Tzounopoulos said that RL81 not only worked, but it seemed to have a lasting effect for weeks and months, which showed that tinnitus and hyperacusis can be corrected. This was in mice, unfortunately, but it was still great to...

    Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Tinnitus

    I just saw an article saying they’re currently looking for funding to run a trial with 16 patients this time. I think that’s great news and a step in the right direction. @delta784, what would you like to know exactly? I feel like @lusiol summed it up pretty well.

    Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Tinnitus

    Thank you @lusiol. I posted in another thread about an ultrasound helmet that can have the same effect as DBS. I think using something like that to pinpoint where to permanently stimulate in the future will make a big difference. At the moment, it feels like guessing, but at the same time, it...
