    Evidence of Cochlear Neural Degeneration in Normal-Hearing Subjects with Tinnitus

    How in the heck is this news or a development? "This just in, it's probably from nerve damage. This paves the way for future treatments with nerve regeneration" Uhhhh no s***. They've been talking about that since I got it 5 years ago.

    Blocking Notch Pathway Leads to New Route to Hair Cell Regeneration to Restore Hearing

    Tinnitus isn't necessarily permanent, as I've read many cases of spontaneous remission, even after years. Still, I agree. AI is a waste of time, and tinnitus is a tough nut to crack. We seemingly have made real progress, however.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I just heard on NPR Here & Now, they were promoting Lenire. A doctor out of Boston said his patients were having good rates of success. I was surprised considering how lackluster an experience everyone here seems to have.

    Hough Ear Institute's Hair Cell Regeneration Project

    I have no idea. I think he may be on LinkedIn. He spoke to me on the phone for quite a while one day. He's a really nice guy. I think Hough Ear Institute is legitimate but it's a non-profit that doesn't have operating capital. I also understood through Justin that this drug was previously a...

    My 3rd Success Story with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    Thank you for sharing. This is why I don't ever, EVER, leave the house without earplugs in my pocket, and extras in the car if I lose mine. There will be the damnedest most random unexpected situations that arise and I'm glad I have the ear plugs. Keys, wallet, cellphone, ear plugs. Just the...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Sorry if I missed it, but do I understand correctly, you had 65 dB of tinnitus years ago, used their device which caused a 15 dB reduction, which has remained consistent years later? I know that it didn't give the relief you've wanted or needed but still, an absolutely fascinating tip of the hat...

    I think her device has to be on to SOMETHING... Several potential treatments operate the same way with sound treatments you listen to, and she's been talking about this for what, 2 decades or something? That would be an impressive failure.

    A Randomized Single-Blind Controlled Trial of a Prototype Digital Polytherapeutic for Tinnitus

    My tinnitus varies over any given day or week like many others. One of my measurements that I've come to learn is if I can hear it while driving down the road. On days where I can say man, it's particularly bothersome, I can hear it over the road noise. On good days I can drive a while and...

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    If it's any consolation, I too have the low end that comes and goes, and goes away when shaking my head or the right noise frequency cuts it out. Humming or talking stops it but it returns instantly when I sstop. Frustrating but comforting that we all have this exact same thing. Clearly there's...

    The thing is, it's a device. Not sure if it's really crucial to have FDA approval. If it's as good as they claim, many would buy it, and word will travel fast of its efficacy.

    Frequency Therapeutics — FX-345

    I've said it before and I've said it again. Put in some tight earplugs or earmuffs and go do something around the house. Dishes, yardwork, gardening whatever. If you're like me, your tinnitus will be a lot louder but as soon as you take out the earplugs or earmuffs, it's quieter in an instant...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Again, do what I said. Put on earmuffs for 10-15 minutes and you'll notice how much louder your tinnitus becomes. Then take them off and you'll notice how much quieter it is with the other sound that's now allowed back in. Because it's directly correlated with hearing. Read these comments...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    There's somebody in the success stories category claiming it's fully gone when wearing hearing aids and returns when taking them out. Not sure why they'd lie. I'm not making a blanket statement that it cures everyone - just that it's not unheard of - which in turn indicates tinnitus is not...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    So does earwax removal in someone who has a bad clog. No it is not a cure all. My point is nobody can make the blanket statement that it's only in the brain and therefore, it doesn't respond to hearing improvements. That is false.
