    Link Between Vision and Hearing? Thinking of Blindfolding Myself for a Week

    No. I spent a month simulating blindness and i had a ton of sound therapy going on. I live in a dark basement, so the acoustics are good. The first week and a half or so no real changes, after that it was gradually going down each day. I didn't exactly do a month. (I think like like 29 days?)...

    Link Between Vision and Hearing? Thinking of Blindfolding Myself for a Week

    Sorry for the late response i've kinda forgotten about this stuff. From february to may, it was pretty consistent. A ~9000 hz ringing in both ears that was audible even with a fan on. The shower masked it. And sink masked it. Not much else. The only difference from the start and may was the...

    Link Between Vision and Hearing? Thinking of Blindfolding Myself for a Week

    You guys are right. I'm not a scientist. This wasn't a clinical trial. It was me just trying to fight back against tinnitus instead of feeling helpless. Maybe my stress levels went down and that effected my tinnitus? Maybe something else? I did a bunch of research on this and searched online...

    Link Between Vision and Hearing? Thinking of Blindfolding Myself for a Week

    I decided to test this out for longer than was planned because i noticed a trend of it getting less and less loud. In the first week and a half there was very little improvements, but after that there was slow and steady changes. The frequency didn't seem to change it just got quieter...

    Link Between Vision and Hearing? Thinking of Blindfolding Myself for a Week

    Starting tomorrow. I actually live in a basement with no external light sources, but I also found a good eye cover and blindfold to use. Just coordinating with my family the details and yeah preparing for the long boringness. I also thought about audiobooks too. I read they started studying...

    Link Between Vision and Hearing? Thinking of Blindfolding Myself for a Week

    I was watching some videos on YouTube about hearing loss, tinnitus, etc. and I came across this video from Johns Hopkins that had research that stated with visual impairment the auditory cortex in your brain rewires itself to heighten your sense of sound. I'm not sure if this would effect...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Same here. That 12-18 months quote was given Feb 21 2017 so we're nearing 8-14 months left. But i don't think they can tell individuals personally, we have to wait on the next press release. I don't think if FX is successful then it will stop other companies. Hearing regeneration can always...

    Noninvasive Deep Brain Stimulation via Temporally Interfering Electric Fields

    Deep Brain Stimulation always scared the crap out of me because they cut open your skull and put something on your brain. Even if it proved able to cure tinnitus, i would probably be hesitant to try it. I remember Professor Rauschecker's TEDx Talk where he said he thought DBS could cure tinnitus...

    When/If a Cure Is Found, What Type of Cure Do You Think It Will Be?

    There's so many different forms of tinnitus. You can cure tinnitus now if you have amalgam tooth fillings by getting them removed. You can get rid of tinnitus caused by eustachian tube dysfunction by lots of decongestants and valsava. Tinnitus caused by hearing loss will likely be cured by...

    Steve Aoki DJ Tinnitus

    DJ Adaro had bad tinnitus and hyperacusis. It took him 6 months until it subsided and he could resume sound work. 8 months until he had his first show again. Recently got in contact with DJ Adaro. He said all was well. http://i.imgur.com/34Ao2kY.jpg

    Tinnitus Caused by Neck Problem?

    I was wondering if my tinnitus was due to stress or loud noise. It was pretty unknown to me. I'm thinking now it could be neck. After my onset of tinnitus, there was a period of 3 weeks where i did not have any tinnitus. It was when i went to Asia with my girlfriend and i met her family. They...

    Tinnitus Caused by Neck Problem?

    I noticed i had forward neck posture. Always looking down at my phone, or at the office and poor posture, or in bed laying down with the laptop on my stomach and looking forward. It puts a lot of pressure on your neck. I had tenseness in my neck and i could feel a few muscles sore and twingey...

    Sleeping

    You need to get regular exercise during the day. Could be a brisk walk. Then you need to shut off all blue light around sundown. I recommend downloading f.lux for your computer and Blue Light Filter: Night Mode app for smart phone, and getting some of those salt lamps or at the very least lower...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Awesome that St. Jude's got this done! I look forward to the data from people with tinnitus and hearing loss to see what happens to their tinnitus after their full hearing is restored.

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Bats can regenerate their hearing too. I can't wait until we can unlock the process behind animals with hair cell regeneration and apply it to humans. Nobel Prize worthy.

    Tinnitus Blasting After Starting to Take Remeron (Mirtazapine)?

    @Penate Water led to a spike in my tinnitus after 2 weeks. I had to taper off of it which was hell to my general well being.
