Sure, but its in German: https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/optisches-cochlea-implantat-hoeren-mit-licht.676.de.html?dram:article_id=422761 In short: - It' unsure if its technically possible and if so many years away. - The hope is to go from ~10 frequency channels to >80 frequency channels

My understanding of optical CIs is, that they shall directly stimulate the nerves attached to the cochlea. But for that they have to be modified to be light sensitive (like the retina maybe, you can „see“ sounds then )

The reason for the optical stimulation is, that they hope to give patients a better frequency resolution. As you may know, electrical CIs have just a very limited frequency resolution, which is due to the fact that each electrode stimulates a whole region in the cochlea(the liquid in the...

@Angus K Your story sounds similar to mine. I‘m the 2years and 7month in and no habituation yet. My t severity goes in cycles: 1-4 days good, 1-4 days bad. Good means I can easily ignore the sound in my left ear or it might even be really low. Seriously almost as good as having no t...

Lets see! My first question: Is there anybody here active on Tinnitustalk in the moment, who participated in the Susan Shore trial?

I‘m looking for anybody who has participated in the Susan Shore trial and can answer me some simple questions about it. Please pm me.

It doesn't work for me.

The left side dominance of T prevalence and also of NIHL intrigues me, since its seems weird to me. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25181661/ https://journals.lww.com/otology-neurotology/Abstract/2007/06000/Asymmetry_in_Noise_Induced_Hearing_Loss__Relevance.2.aspx Results: NIHL was...

I came across a new theory...let's see, if there is a connection between your tinnitus side and the way you ride a snowboard or skateboard.

Hi Hans, I understand your thoughts very well and also have this feeling that the connection T and Anxiety might be underestimated. Anxiety is something we can get used to over the years. and learn to ignore. T seems to me sometimes like the accoustical eruption. Unfortunatly I didn't find...

@hans01 I‘m currently trying to cut out any stress of my life to see if it has any positive impact on my t. Problems are: My T is one of my biggest stressors so far, but I‘m working on it. If there is no outside stress, its at least far easier not to be overwhelmed. Also i have to learn...

@Benjamin Greenberg Thanks for sharing. I hope you will stay in this medical field.

Salut Christophe, I feel with you. I‘m currently in holiday and having one bad day after another. Bad days mean I hear the t as soon as I’m not heavilly distracted, this means even in a noisy car at high speed with music on. So I cannot enjoy the holiday at all, not a single day so far. When...

Just consider that mirtazapine on a very low dossage helps. No addiction or toleration as far as I can tell.

Did I misunderstand you before? If I did so, please excuse me. I'm not a native speaker. Concerning pros and cons of TRT: I don't want to argue about that. It's all said so many times before and everybody can decide by himself. I know we fight the same war! All the bests and calm days Michael.
