How in the heck is this news or a development? "This just in, it's probably from nerve damage. This paves the way for future treatments with nerve regeneration" Uhhhh no s***. They've been talking about that since I got it 5 years ago.

Tinnitus isn't necessarily permanent, as I've read many cases of spontaneous remission, even after years. Still, I agree. AI is a waste of time, and tinnitus is a tough nut to crack. We seemingly have made real progress, however.

I just heard on NPR Here & Now, they were promoting Lenire. A doctor out of Boston said his patients were having good rates of success. I was surprised considering how lackluster an experience everyone here seems to have.

I have no idea. I think he may be on LinkedIn. He spoke to me on the phone for quite a while one day. He's a really nice guy. I think Hough Ear Institute is legitimate but it's a non-profit that doesn't have operating capital. I also understood through Justin that this drug was previously a...

I know that it didn't give the relief you've wanted or needed but still, an absolutely fascinating tip of the hat...

I think her device has to be on to SOMETHING... Several potential treatments operate the same way with sound treatments you listen to, and she's been talking about this for what, 2 decades or something? That would be an impressive failure.

How long have you been using the sound masking apps and have you started using any new ones or new frequencies?

My tinnitus varies over any given day or week like many others. One of my measurements that I've come to learn is if I can hear it while driving down the road. On days where I can say man, it's particularly bothersome, I can hear it over the road noise. On good days I can drive a while and...
