    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    It's easy to be an armchair critic. You don't know if Auricle has tried reaching out to big pharma. Maybe big pharma wasn't impressed enough, or for whatever else reason didn't want to touch it. You don't know if big pharma has tried to reach out to Auricle. Maybe Auricle wasn't interested...

    Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Alters KCC2 and GABA Inhibition in the Auditory Centers

    The 1st International Conference on Pharmacology & Gene Therapy for Tinnitus

    This is the important part here. Dr. Hashir Aazh is a scumbag who maliciously exploits tinnitus patients by selling them CBT/TRT crap. He's clever though, organizing a somewhat legit-sounding conference, under the guise of his nonsensical clinic, which will get promoted at the same time.

    University of Birmingham — Identifying Cochlear Nucleus Drug Targets

    The issue is that in the US at least post-grads are often paid approximately $70-90k/year, with a 1-year contract often desired at a minimum, and a multi-year one preferred. If you have, let's say five post-grads working on a project, their salaries + other admin and lab costs do add up. Not to...

    Can Dropping a Glass Jar on the Floor Make Hyperacusis or Tinnitus Worse? Best Course of Action?

    The fact that none of your symptoms worsened from the glass dropping and breaking, but you started worrying about it anyway, enough so that you spent half an hour writing this thread, probably makes your brain acutely aware of your hearing senses and you might start feeling that something is now...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Thinking it might help 60% of people is far from pessimistic. There are very few treatments out there for any condition that help 100% of people or anywhere close to it. If the device helps 60% of tinnitus sufferers, it's a fucking amazing achievement. It probably won't help 60% to a great...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    @Utdmad89, dimwit. Mild people are ONLY shot down if they make it seem like they KNOW BETTER, if they say that EVERYONE can get better. If they don't understand that tinnitus is a spectrum and NOT EVERYONE GETS better, then they are rightly shot down.

    Stem Cell Clinics for Treating Tinnitus?
