I think that he means it’s superior even if it works, you get two birds with one stone.

Thanks. I ate the cream and took a bunch of antioxidants inlcuding those. I’m afraid my tinnitus has permanently increased a little bit but not too bad.

I was exposed to loud noise yesterday. I can’t get my hands on prednison so I’m considering eating a corticosteroid cream I have laying around..

Remind me again what ligma is

Hey guys, been a while, any legit updates the past 1-2 months?

when you forget your earplugs to the supermarket and get a spike

I had a horrible surgery today so I’m just in bed shitposting

I have no idea what the actual size of a hair cell is

My contribution for today

"This man successfully habituated, click here to learn about his awesome CBT tricks"

Are you happy? Do you have friends? What is your reason to continue living (that is not meant as a rethorical question)?

Exciting, have you done any prior hearing tests to compare?

That’s dedication. Did it do anything?

Sorry for missing, but what are you going to do? Inject neurotrophin or IGF in your ear?

With what theory?

What are we talking about

All Facebook groups related to health are 90% retarded Facebook moms.

That's because a lot of things is placebo for most people. Notice for example how every diet, no matter how different (raw paleo vs raw vegan) makes everyone feel "soo amazing", it's all in their head. When a true cure comes it will probably work for you too. Try to live one day at a time, a...

I think the market won’t allow selling an inferior product. If all audiologists sell an inferior product, then one audiologist will sell the superior product to attract customers, and the rest will naturally follow.

I think the reason the link @ajc posted might be good news is not because ENTs might or might not learn to use the device, but because it means Neuromod is convinced of the effectiveness.

Awesome. Reason I asked it because if it was posted last year or something I wouldn’t attach too much value to it. But in that case, nice!

Was this just published?

Does anyone here know if it could work to just give a fake address, or a PO box or something? I don’t see why they would ever really need that in practice. (Hypothetically, of course)

Thank you for sharing. I’m gonna do this. But, isn’t it likey government funding will just go to more CBT?

Haha, guess that could work.

I don’t understand why, really. I even said we could pay for travel expenses etc. ourselves (because on the website they mention they cover that). Oh well..

Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we are only able to recruit UK citizens for the early phases of the trial. Any updates on the trial will be available http://regainyourhearing.eu :(

It’s too complex until it isn’t

Thank you @Drone Draper! Germany would probably be easier depending on where it is exactly. Only “concern” is that my dad does have hearing loss in that range, but only in one ear. Guess we’ll see.

You think they’d accept someone from another country?

me last night

Does anyone else sometimes have the evil hope that many more people get tinnitus, so awareness and research will increase. I’m secretly a bit happy if I hear of people going to another festival without earplugs

The thing about changing stem cells into hair cells is scary though, if that means future treatments won’t work.

Where are the trials done? I couldn’t find it on their website. My dad recently got significant hearing loss. We live in the netherlands, maybe he wants to participate.

Since tinnitus is almost always a symptom of hearing loss, perhaps the focus should be on hearing loss research instead of tinnitus. I don’t see a lot CBT type stuff for hearing loss, meaning the money is probably better spent on hearing loss research.

I can’t say if you have ETD, but balloon dilatation is actually different. A small balloon is inserted in your eustachian tube and inflated to open it up.

Mine are positioned horribly. Completely horizontal and mostly under the bone. A small piece of the jaw bone had to be cut away. The other one is exactly the same. Thank you for the tip

Bumping this thread. I have to get my wisdom tooth out next week. I got the other one out 2 weeks ago, it was VERY loud but luckily very short and no spike. I want to be prepared for next time. What about magnesium and niacinamide? I heard about those

Sad to see research money wasted on these kinds of treatments.

I made a similar thread before when I wanted to give a little bit out of my own pocket. After my dad was recently struck with sudden hearing loss and tinnitus I want to go bigger. I plan on selling grilled cheese sandwiches outside my university library and donating profits to hearing loss and...

But what does “decreased intensity” even mean with maintained volume. Sounds like a habituation testimonial lol.

Sorry for not being up-to-date with the thread, but has anyone mentioned the fact that this guy said it didn’t decrease the volume but only the “intensity”? Seems a bit useless to me to be honest.

Thanks to you too, you’re the one that told me about Charles Liberman.

Yes, a bit of a bragging thread, but I thought it was pretty cool. Making people pay for the research for the hearing damage they are about to give themselves. I bought a few tickets for festival I knew was gonna sell out, and resold them later. The profit was about $30. Next one is gonna be...

Good reminder to never donate to the ATA or any organization. Always donate to a specific person or company you know is doing good work.

No, she mentioned nerve damage. But there were no extensive tests done.

As a result of the cold/flu, my dad permanently lost hearing in one ear. Does anyone perhaps know what exactly is damaged in this case? I assume it's not the hair cell damage that occurs with noise induced hearing loss. I ask because I want to know if there is hope for him considering Decibel...

Okay, obviously money is very important. But what I actually mean to ask: how dependent is a cure for tinnitus and hearing loss on money? Let’s say Jeff Bezos donated his entire net worth to tinnitus and hearing loss research, would it be very likely a cure for tinnitus would follow soon, or...

Sorry to hear that Bam. My dad is over 60 though with enough money saved to last for the rest of his life. Money and self esteem are not really an issue for him. I understand that if you are very depressed yourself there is not much motivation for an experiment. But perhaps someone around you...

My dad has permanent hearing loss and tinnitus as a result of the common cold a month ago. I feel so bad for him, I don’t even care about my own tinnitus anymore. He only heard it was likely permanent from the doctor yesterday, so he’s in shock still. Before he thought it was simply a clogged...

A relatively new and effective treatment is balloon dilatation for eustachian tube, you can google it.

Sorry, but is the entire hypothesis based on the fact that this stuff looks like hair cells? Edit: Okay, got confused with another thread. I tend to agree with @JohnAdams though. I think it just breaks down to common amino acids

...

In heaven you will be a euphoric chad with the hearing of a dolphin @Contrast But don't leave us yet please

That’s true. One of my friends’ dad has tinnitus but said he didn’t really care. I’m personally a little autistic and naturally anxious. I think that maybe you have to be mentally a bit “sick” to care about tinnitus or really have it bother you (talking about mild tinnitus here). Just a thought.

Hearing loss, sure. But I don’t believe people wouldn’t care about tinnitus

Are you saying a lot of people have tinnitus and hearing damage but just don’t care?

In that case I think it’d be more likely that it will be available as a treatment at the ENT’s office or something. Something which should be covered by insurance, but yeah it would probably still be too expensive for some..

If this thing ever comes out and I buy it, everyone that wants to is welcome at my house to try it. I live in the Netherlands though :wideyed:
