The Brai3n clinic recently posted about a breakthrough in tinnitus research on their website. The research team, led by Dr. Vanneste, Dr. Ost, and colleagues, discovered that tinnitus involves a complex brain mechanism capable of switching symptoms on or off. This mechanism is specifically...

Cortical auditory evoked potentials, brain signal variability and cognition as biomarkers to detect the presence of chronic tinnitus (Cardon et al, 2022) One of the researchers has recently published an article on this particular subject in a popular science magazine (EOS Wetenschap...

There's some pretty cool stuff happening at the Spaulding Neuroimaging Laboratory in Massachusetts. Dr. Clas Linnman and his team have developed a specific kind of mirror therapy for tinnitus. They have already conducted a pilot study and the results are quite positive to say the least. The...

Neurosoft Bioelectronics has just received 3 million USD from the European Innovation Council Accelerator Grant for the development of next-generation soft implantable electrodes with the aim to tackle neurological disorders such as epilepsy and tinnitus. The following article gives a summary...

So there is an interesting development in the Netherlands. Dutch researchers are currently working on a device with the aim to diminish or even eliminate tinnitus. For now, the device is called Antinnitus, but there are plans to rebrand it as NeuroVR. Not much is known about NeuroVR. The...

I've just discovered that Dr. De Ridder has collaborated with Delft University of Technology on developing a bi-modal stimulation device that is quite similar to Shore's Auricle. There are plans to start clinical trials with this device, but so far I can't find any information about when it...

The Tinnitus Research Initiative (TRI) has planned a set of online seminars in 2021-2022 on the specific subject of tinnitus. You can register online and you don't have to pay a penny to watch an online lecture. On the 15th of September, the first episode will be presented by Dr. Berthold...

Perhaps old news, but this study by Knipper et al. (2020) mentions interesting factors that possibly contribute to tinnitus by comparing between people with congenital deafness vs. those who acquired deafness. The authors share the view that the loss of function in auditory nerve fibres entail...

Here's an interesting article about Dr. Josh McDermott, a neuroscientist at MIT, who is currently working on computational models that replicate the human auditory system in hopes of improving treatments for hearing loss. ''So far, even the most sophisticated computational models cannot perform...

Artificial intelligence helps doctors address inner ear problems MAASTRICHT / ANTWERP, February 18, 2021 - A new method to map the inner ear using artificial intelligence (AI). That is what the Belgian start-up Radiomics has developed in close collaboration with doctors and scientists from...

Ey everyone, I thought it would be nice to add this thread to the general discussion. There's so much remastered historic footage of beautiful cities on YouTube that deserves to be watched & admired, plus it's also a fun way to take our minds off for once of our tinnitus & hyperacusis...

Hi everyone, I don't know if you have the same experience as I have, but I noticed the past month that my old tinnitus has become less and less prominent in comparison to the new tinnitus. Normally I would hear my old tinnitus (subwoofer) 50% of the day, but it has now become around 10%...

An article in the Belgian magazine EOS Wetenschap mentions a model by neuroscientists Patrick Kraus & Holger Schulze that possibly describes the origin of tinnitus. In the article, it is mentioned that tinnitus is the side effect of an internal mechanism to improve hearing after noise trauma...

Hey guys, I've become a new member on this site. I already have a form of (mild) tinnitus that started in 2016. However, two weeks ago, after having used a headphone to listen to some music, I have a new friend called reactive tinnitus (I guess)?). It is present when I am in a quiet room...
