Hey Baxter, Hidden hearing loss is really just starting to be recognized. There is a test out to measure the brain's response to noise called an "Auditory Brain Response". I had one done around the winter of last year. It unfortunately showed no issues in my hearing even though I had such...

Are you in the field of audiology (hearing scientist)?

Thanks again for explaining the auditory nerve in a more sophistaced matter. I've understood that glutamate is involved with the Type-1 Afferents. Glutamate seems to cause subjects' ringing to "spike". I've read about users on here eating food containing MSG and having their ringing become...

Thank you for giving me a much more detailed explanation of the nerves involved in our auditory processing system. The Johns Hopkins article gives a very simple explanation and I've been wanting to understand what is really involved. What are the MOC efferent and LOC efferent? If I'm correct...

Music is sound. Frequencies manipulated and put together in a precise manner that each is complimented by one another. I was looking to get some opinions by users and producers themselves on here about how a song is produced. As a musician and once music producer myself, I've become very...

Don't you guys think that this discovery plays a part too? Link: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/found_a_likely_new_contributor_to_age_related_hearing_loss That those considered to have "age-related hearing loss", could quite possibly be experiencing the same thing as what...

Could you list out the supplements and antidepressants you were taking? If that's possible? It would be much appreciated. There had to of been damage already before you starting taking antidepressants or supplements. It's strange how the ringing just became audible out of the blue and then...

So you noticed loud ringing for the first time ever only after taking an antidepressant medication? Then things continued to get worse off and on?

There's gotta be much more to it than just spontaneously firing neurons. I'm one of the few users on this site I've spoken to that have lost the ability to feel. Truly feel. No connections to people anymore. No connections to my family. I would feel so much happiness from my hearing not...

Feeling nothing is pain. I've been told to move on, but there's nothing to move on to. I've felt emotions all my life and now I feel nothing everyday. Plus I've lost all the energy I had before to exercise and what not. I've taken Astaxanthin since I believe late November. There were...

The first thing I always say to myself now when I see someone stating depression, antidepressants, and tinnitus is why did a disorder like such happen in the first place. How old were you when you first started feeling "depressed" and did any other physical symptoms come along with it. Or were...

It's hard to tell sarcasm through online text, so I'm hoping that's not how it was intended to be. I was intentionally replying back to Vinnitus' statement "I've seen the topic about the retracting spiral ganglion neurons (SGN) and that a softer Tinnitus might actually mean thatthe SGN is...

It's incredible the immensely miniaturized actions that take place in already such incredibly tiny structures in our body/brain. I wish I had the ability to understand all the terminology and what not. Funny I say that because I may just have to learn all about this stuff since I trying to...

It's hard to say yes or no because so much has gone on since last fall (around early October). I could associate taking supplements/herbs that initiate NGF are actually what caused my ringing to become much louder at times, but it's difficult to say so. There were many other factors that could...

That's why I feel like a stem cell based approach to repairing/reconnecting/regenerating the nerve fibers or spiral ganglion neurons would do a lot more justice. There's going to be many subjects who have had ringing for almost decades. I'm assuming it'll all be figured out through trials. If...
