Dr. Stephen Cheung from the United States has already conducted a small trial of deep brain stimulation and reported some positive results for tinnitus. There are also case reports of people who received DBS for other reasons and experienced a reduction in their tinnitus. I believe there are two...

Ultrasound ‘helmet’ could treat Parkinson’s non-invasively, study shows A new ultrasound device can now penetrate deep into the brain, something that was previously impossible. This device can target regions of the brain that, until now, could only be reached with deep brain stimulation. That...

I appreciate the response, and I want to thank you and Tinnitus Quest for all that you do for us.

I’m sorry if this has already been answered, but are you going to reach out to researchers to offer grants, or is Tinnitus Quest waiting to see who applies?

This was a new interview with the CEO of the company. He seems like a nice guy who genuinely wants to help. He said that results for Phase 2 should be available by next year and that they are already in clinical trials for cochlear implantation. He also mentioned that if they had the funds, he...

Hey Markku, thank you for all that you do for us. It’s greatly appreciated. How have you been? You don’t talk about yourself often. Could you let us know how your tinnitus has been lately? Again, thank you for everything you do.

Is there any way we can reach out to the researchers to find out what their next step is going to be? Are they still in the animal testing phase, and how long might it be before they can begin clinical trials? Maybe Tinnitus Quest could help fund their research further.

Hello @Annina, I’m sorry you are going through all of this. The fact that it has only been two months is actually a good sign. It means there is still a chance for things to improve or for you to get used to it. The best advice I can give is to protect yourself from any sounds that hurt or...

There is a clinical trial by Cochlear for tinnitus that involves ear stimulation. The trial lists having tinnitus in one ear as a requirement, but if you have it in both ears, the worse ear is the one that gets implanted. There is also Dr. Carlson, who is working on an implant for one-sided...

I agree with everything @GregCA had to say. The only thing I can add is the possibility of trying oxygen therapy as well. Some people have reported success, and there is some research to support that. There is also a current clinical trial for one-sided tinnitus using a device that is showing...

Is there any follow-up to this trial? It seems to be one of the most promising treatments available. Are they planning to conduct more animal studies, and what is next in terms of human trials? Having Dan Polley speak about this on a Tinnitus Talk Podcast episode would be great.

This is the kind of research that will eventually lead to a cure.
