    Electrical Stimulation of the Cochlea for Treatment of Chronic Disabling Tinnitus

    As far as being able to change, I would agree. The ingrained in the brain part I believe is also about how in one study where they cut the connection between the ear and the brain. Only 50 percent of people had their tinnitus eliminated. It certainly is strange to say the least. I believe if...

    Electrical Stimulation of the Cochlea for Treatment of Chronic Disabling Tinnitus

    I don't like it either. It sets in the brain and yet you can increase but not decrease the volume dramatically many years later. I think researchers just want to inflate their studies with people who heal naturally without their treatment.

    Electrical Stimulation of the Cochlea for Treatment of Chronic Disabling Tinnitus

    A lot of studies like to exclude chronic tinnitus to make results look better. There is a theory that chronic tinnitus sets in the brain and is thus harder to get rid of. I think two years is the max amount of years I've heard for tinnitus spontaneously getting better.

    Yeah, along with that, I do think people might be a bit disappointed the deepest it goes is around 12 kHz. That and there are also more companies making hearing drugs now.

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I hear about 75% of people with tinnitus can experience residual inhibition according to one study I've read. I'm curious about people without residual inhibition, could it be the hearing range is so dead there is no residual inhibition or is tinnitus unrelated to hearing loss? I myself have...

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    Yeah, it is confusing. I would take it as they don't want people with a very obvious root cause and fixable somatic tinnitus like someone whose tinnitus stops and starts because of grinding teeth or sleeping with bad neck posture. It doesn't make sense to exclude 70 percent of people who have...

    Studies Confirm Tinnitus Improves Over Time

    Yeah that's what I've heard. Pretty much no cases of the volume getting better past two years with chronic tinnitus. And people who have tinnitus are much more susceptible to acquire new tinnitus whether it's their brains or their new damaged and sensitive ears.

    With Trobalt 30 percent of people had a change in eye pigment. In XEN-1101 there has been no sign of eye changes so far of at least in 70 people. Hopefully the fact the Potassium channel for the eyes is not touched can solve the most serious symptoms. FX-322 I can see unfortunately not helping...

    Realistic concerns. A bunch of things could go wrong. It would be really disappointing if a bunch of other potassium channels need to be changed too. I think the only real small evidence, other than it being called Trobalt 2.0, is I believe RL-81 which is called a revamped Trobalt prevented...
