The FDA is cutting staff and losing reputable researchers left and right. The top vaccine researcher just resigned because the head of the agency literally believes in discredited pseudoscience and is pushing the FDA to adopt it. The person in charge is an anti-vaxxer and the kind of person who...

It is sad that this is receiving funding.

I really wish there were more research on this. There could be potential consequences for those who experience these attacks frequently, which might lead to a better understanding of tinnitus.

Anyone who believes RFK Jr. is a positive influence on HHS or that gutting NIH research, including limiting the G&A rate of university grants that support labs of all kinds, bodes well for tinnitus research is not only wrong but severely misinformed. Or maybe they have a brain worm. I invite...

It's really bad. I think we have to seriously consider that the U.S. will no longer be the first country to produce a Susan Shore device.

No, Mirtazapine helped me settle my sleep schedule. I am about four months in. The biggest issue has been craving sweets and gaining a bit of weight, but overall, it has been completely worth it. No increase in perception due to Mirtazapine.

Exclusive: FDA staff reviewing Musk’s Neuralink were included in DOGE employee firings, sources say Yeah, it’s a no from me, dawg. Real-life Lex Luthor.

Oh, great. A tool for a tinnitus sufferer, likely already borderline OCD because of their condition -- to further obsess over :D

It would just be a data point—an expensive one that an insurance company is unlikely to cover unless a clear benefit can be identified.

I would like to request that Tinnitus Quest interview/reach out to Dr. Kelly Assouly and/or Dr. Matthew Carlson regarding the efficacy of extracochlear devices. In fact, together, would be absolutely insane although unlikely with how busy they are. Dr. Carlson has previously published on the...

9-10 paragraphs of baseless speculation. You have no idea what is required/what the FDA will or will not do. Great. I can't wait for next week's iteration of the same.

I genuinely think this route has a less complicated and better/less invasive approach, likely with greater efficacy than the current SSD (though I do believe if the Susan Shore Device is refined in the future, it may yield even better results.) I believe the "why it works" could be researched...

Based on what? You have no idea if the device has even been submitted, or if any communication between Auricle and the FDA has occurred. Much like the several last pages, there is a bunch of wild speculation with no basis. Maybe that guy six months ago was right, and the thread should just be...

Reversing Cochlear Nucleus Maladaptive Plasticity via Customized Extracochlear Stimulation This now puts multiple entities trialing electrical stimulation devices: Dr. Carlson at Mayo Clinic (2022) Dr. Assouly w/ Cochlear Ltd (2024, with this likely being the research backing the likely...
