I think it is not about knowledege, it is about the value given to the human life and rights that are more important and respected in the western world.

It is mostly known for its ridiculus product information in which it's thought to be beneficial for sensorineural hearing loss also, like for other indications. Even though it is prevalently prescribed for tinnitus, an ENT said me that it is "worse than a placebo." .

Yes; their cochlea is similar to humans', because they are mammals like humans..However, i don't know if the rats have a particular similarity of cochlea other than the other mammals have.

Rats are smallest mammals, from which you can observe the results of experiments or trials, in a small period of time. However, small body means giving quick reaction to any changes in the metabolism. I think, using rats is for time and volume saving in the labratory..

I had been felt fullness one year ago for a month..I think it was because of stress which tense the mini muscles linked to eustachian tube.

What i have learnt : Some cases in which T is caused by long term exposion of high volume, protection of ears for a while or having some break could help. However, while you are having ear rest, you should have a healthy diet, stay away from alcohol, cigar and stress. Detox, or foods which have...

After i lie down i imagine that i am a superhero and kicking bad guys' asses. However the enemies you choose in your imagination should be dangerous and poweful reallife characters that you really hate.. For example, in a difficult and desperate situation, think that some power is given you from...

when the hearing disorder and T caused by a problem in the outer or middle ear; after problem is solved tinnitus is mostly solved..Therefore they think why not for inner ear after restroration..

wow!..it sounds like we are in 2099 :)

Making humans cochlea mimicking a chickens cochlea to regenerate, could be breakthrough in medical science, which we can only dream..

ten years later.. probably after 3 years they will continue to say "ten years later".

My T is caused from sensorineural hearing loss in high frequences. I do not have conductive problem. My point is why some say that T is a brain issue other than an ear issue altough it's known that manipulation of brain which cause the phantom sound, originated in EAR..

I wonder if T arised from a conductive(mechanical part) problem of ear, could be continued altough the problem is solved? If no, or mostly no; why some specialists say that T is essentially a brain issue?..

Yes it's true but most of them exert themselves to hear the phantom sound in quiet rooms, in contrast to sufferers who try to get away from quiet places. Also %80 of T persons have some degree of hearing loss..

Hi @attheedgeofscience Generally it is said that hearing loss causes tinnitus.. I did not know that tinnitus alone itself can be a reason of hearing loss.. Previously I had searched the net if there is an evidence or a case that tinnitus sound surpasses the outside noise and leads to hearing...

What seems very intersting to me is how the jobless nerves reattach to the new hair cells and return or remember their former mission..

In my opinion the collaboration of 7 pharmaceutical companies is an absurd thing..As we already know there is a collaboration of some institutes about hearing loss called Hearing Loss Project. Maybe he referred to this project group with an exaggeration.

Hi Jill.. That presents the hypothesis of the firm which also use it as a promotion video of its product.

I have never gone to a psychologist but when i consulted a psychiatrists because of T, she asked some questions about me and my family and said that my T is psychosomatic despite my hearing loss, and suggested me to take an antidepressant -i refused- for 12 months. I recognised that she had an...

Hearing restorarion project members think that if the jobless nerve cells reattach again to the restored hair cells they will stop producing phantom noise.

At least ten years but if the problem is from cochlear damage.

The ultimate thing an ENT can do is to find out your hearing problem is sensorineural; nothing beyond this. When you search the net or go one doctor to another, you will not reach this certainity, because you become a victim who is expected to waste money for useless medications and so-called cures.

Hmm, now I uderstand Dr. Wilden.. The natural ATP production of our body is not enough to regenerate haircells, thus we use low laser to produce more ATP to be healed. Why his theory is not accepted is because the clinical trials and researches on LLT are handled incorrectly or the hearing...

Hearing Restoration Project is trying to find a cure which is also a breakthrough in medical science. They are inspired by the birds and want to make the human cochlea mimick the cochlea of the birds until restored at its best. All of these explain how difficult a cure can be found. They are...

Hi Dr. Ancill.. You are right in pursuing the syptomatic threapies as you know tinnitus is a symptom. What the physicians generally do not know is swere stress (other than noise, infection, blow, ototoxic drugs or auto-immune disorder) can lead to inner ear damage directly or indirectly for some...

If one day aliens visit the world, cure the diseases, solve the problems and give us peace then we will belive in what they believe.

Unless these guys know anything what the rest of the world do not, they are most likely trying to find a needle in a dark room. And..this is horrible..

That can be really groundbreaking..If they achieve to get next step they will be able to observe the cochlea of living subjects. Thus preventions and threapies, or healing reaction of the body in different levels of damage can be tested whether they are beneficial or not. Maybe how the drugs or...

I wonder whether it is possible to see the low laser effect in a culture dish.. If we ask it to hearing restoration project members could it be ridiculous? :)

If the hearing test results are true and permanent, the LLLT should be seriously considered by scientists. Maybe the low laser inhibits notch signaling in the cochlea therefore induces hearing restoration.. Or prevention of garbage and loud sounds make the knocked down hair cells stand up...

Hi Ozzy. That is a hypothesis of the firm which also use it as a promotion video of its product.

Probably they determined it after a sitatistical survey..

Of course we know nothing about what causes T for every cases? However what i accept as true data is generally T refers to an inner ear damage even without visible hearing loss, and this damage is irreversable. I have also hearing loss at high frequencies and it progressed over time about 7...

TMJD also causes a T with visible(in tests) hearing loss. Altough TMJD is treated, i think it would be too late after the damage is permanent. I wonder how about for muscle dysfunction? Would it be helpful to treat the dysfunction at early stages of T ? Would it be too late to treat muscle...

Well.. Maybe i can contact with appropriate member of Hearing Loss Project about this.

The symptoms stand out as if they indicate autonomic nervous system problems.

If Hyaluronan is said to be tissue-healer and is used for acute T, i think it works for the cells about to die, not for cells have already died, likewise the treatments such as low-laser, hyperbaric oxygen or hearig support pills which claim to do so..

While thinking positively, it is thought that when hair cells regenerated the jobless nerve fibres which were at one time attached to the suitable haircells to create its own frequency, have some time to reattach to suitable cells. Second phase is that the nerve fibres remember their jobs as...

Some time at nights i had been imagining my inner ears producing new cells. I thought that maybe i can trigger healing mecanism like the birds :) I still think if i should continue that thing. I now understand how people go mad. I wish i was a religious person because they seem to cope better...

It is not specified if it works for all tinnitus cases however chronic tinnitus is independently mentioned as "The laboratory of Professor Guitton also works for the realization of a prosthesis for the long term tinnitus." I think it is probably for acute cases.

Hi @EricMI.. This passage is from the website of hearing health foundation: "In addition, not everyone with tinnitus has an abnormal audiogram. In these cases, it is thought that individuals who have audiologically normal hearing but who suffer from tinnitus have more subtle damage to one or...

The contents of the supplements are all to supply ingredients for preventing persistent damage in inner ear but the contradiction is that they try to sell it to sufferers who already has damaged hearing. If you ask them if it is a cure they will tell you that their product prevents any further...

Youtube is useful to follow the progression for a cure, by watching interviews of the scientists.. They still try to better understand how the hair cells are generated in the embryonic phase and what are the mecanisms behind the regeneration of cochlea in non-mammals. The more we clarify these...

Brief describtions of "what is being done" from each collaborators of Hearing Restoration Project.. http://hearinghealthfoundation.org/cure_for_tinnitus

My hearing loss was stable for five months as i checked five times, once in a month but after 3 months when my t got worse and also began louder in my left ear which had been mild, I checked hearing again and loss was progressed. I think the culprits were loud music, alcohol and depression with...

tinnitus is a common(%1-%10) side effect of sertraline which is an ssri.. i think the doctors ignore the side effects of antidepressants because these drugs simplify their job and they spend less effort as you see neurologists also have authorization to prescribe these drugs without psychotherapy.

My mom has two friends who had suffered tinnitus for 2-2.5 years. What they say my mom is they can barely notice it only sometimes now. They both say that they are cured. I know that one of them had T after a stressfull period of when she also had taken antidepressant.

What do the sound generators or maskers used in TRT is to try to change that pattern by making the neurons hang around the white noise they generate and create new synaptic connections.. As i know..

What i derived from AM-101 is that the drug solves the problem at the early stages when T is only an inner ear and auditory issue before becoming a brain issue. This time period is determined as 3 months after onset, but the drug is considered to be also effective after 3 months. I think the...

I am afraid living with a pill for T can lead some of us join another health support pages because of the side effects. On the other hand, waiting for a miracle cure for restoring inner ear means waiting for a revolutionary breakthrough in mediacal science, which we are too far away from.. I...

No, those milk 25k are called hope exploiters..

A brand new gewgaw. My hope is towards human focused initiatives not venture stories.

In case of need i will pay all life long. Extra work is better than living with a damaged and irritated cochlea..

When a website puts the researches one under the other and makes columns as "rate", "donate", "amount targeted", "donations collected", etc. i will donate to one of the most promising for me. When i look at the donation page of ATA i find it complex and not meet the mindset of donators or...

Actually i do not pay any attention to the researches which are about hearing devices or medications for manupilating the brain to reduce T. I would rather to support researces which aim to repair the tissues and solve the problem from the root cause.

Hearing loss with dizziness, tinnitus, hyperacusis, fullness sensation, pain all refer to impairment of the cochlea and related neurons. While the metabolic stimulus is eliminated, if the body restores any organ by the stem cells why wouldn't the symptoms disappear?

I think it is normal for someone to be sceptical or even be angry about these treatments. But they should firstly consider the drugs such as betaserc, vastarel, notropil etc. sold for also hearing loss and tinnitus without any evidence in clinical trials and only thought to be blood congestive...

4 months post treatment, the below shows my hearing. L = Left hear before treatment, L1 after treatment. The results are in dB's. I would like to get the treatment done again as I think that I would gain an extra 20-25db, but I cannot afford another $20,000. Had I known what I do today, I would...

These hope exploiting stuff or sayings like "T is only a symptom if you habituate you don't need to restrict your life" are both probably there to encourage ototoxic drug producers.

Does ATA for example, show how the donations spread, where did they go, which research in which institutions or clinics, have been done and how was their specific expenditure? I think if they give detailed explanation of trak of funds or give the individuals choice to donate to the specific...
