    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Those people should be more excited of regeneration of synaptic connections, which several companies are working for. Eg: decibel. You assumption that regeneration of hair cells in ears is the only thing that is being studied on is incorrect.

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Also, from the article in your link: “Given that cochlear implants can continue to provide useful hearing for years after hair cell loss, these long-surviving neurons must remain electrically excitable and appropriately connected to their central targets10. Thus, in many types of sensorineural...

    Spontaneous Recovery Stats: Many Recover (3 Studies)

    Again, great reasoning and deduction skills. That was exactly what I said and implied. Too bad we don't have a rolling eye smiley. Recent onset people should pursue all available medical interventions, but that doesn't mean "if a person has been blasting his/her ears for years, and eventually...

    Spontaneous Recovery Stats: Many Recover (3 Studies)

    That's highly unlikely, as most people over a certain age "has been blasting his/her ears for years," i.e., most people go over recommended noise exposure for years. If you were right, spontaneous recovery would only occur in people who live in rural areas (no nightlife etc) with no noisy...

    Studies Confirm Tinnitus Improves Over Time

    The quote I posted is not saying after 6 months, it's not gonna get better. It's just defining the new onset period. You are right there is no date. In medicine, chronic is just a convention (after 3,6,12 months). Chronic means long-lasting, doesn't necessarily mean permanent and irreversible...

    You are very likely to improve as most tinnitus improves: "If you are in the ‘new onset’ period of tinnitus (less than 6 months), you can be reassured that, for many, the natural course of tinnitus is to improve over time and most people do not go on to have persistent, bothersome tinnitus."...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Yes I think there is a good chance of restoring some hearing loss within 10 years. The reason I think that there seems to be different products/companies trying different approaches. So it's not like they are trying the same approach. Genvec for example might have a product within 3-5 years...

    Thank you so much for posting this! I have the exact same type of T. Also started in my left and then my right and then inside my head. It's also very high pitched so I hear it over everything, even if faintly. It also seems to go up in volume when I turn on a sound machine or listen to some...
