    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    I was hoping to be completely cured, which did not happen. If you do go do this, know that you are basically paying good money to be a lab rat. If you are going to go, the sooner would be better. I'm not going to tell you not to go, but he is claiming that the treatment is for hearing loss...

    ...because the banks couldn’t cover it. They’ve been rigging the Forex and precious metals markets for years and nothing is ever done about it. A slap on the wrist and a small fine is about all that ever happens because they control too much and have too much power. In 1933, there was an...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I basically agree and the Apple sticker is a funny idea.

    Can Tinnitus Spikes Subside After Months?

    The spike can certainly last this long, and still has plenty of potential to go away or at least diminish over time. Be sure to take precautions to not have any additional noise expsoure, or else it can certainly respike or worsen as well. Feel better soon!

    Setback After Daughter Slapped Me on My Ear Twice!

    AM-101 TACTT1 Results Released

    Noise induced T is not brain issue. Hard slap on ear can make 170+ Db, this is enough to start T. Its more than gunshot (155-160Db) Its logical, that is more activity in hearing part of the brain, because damaged inner ear nonstop sends phantom signals to this center and that is why it is...
