    Episode 20: The Man Who Donated a Million Dollars to Tinnitus Research

    Here’s what confused me; at the 34 minute mark, Dr. Hamid speaks about how they had 60% of patients get cured through his method, which could be done via a cochlear implant but he doesn’t want to go through that route because there’s only 300 specialists who can perform that surgery and it would...
