    New Study in Mice Proposes the First Gene That Could Help Prevent Tinnitus

    I think we are looking at years out. They have to do pretrials, phase 1, 2, 3 out testing. Then if all is good, government approval if we are lucky. This entire process is years after research and design.

    Autonomic Nervous System

    I have to agree with your thoughts. Mine was also triggered by a traumatic event being either the extremely loud buzzer that was pushed in and held without cutting off or the shock factors from when I was rear-ended.

    I am not a mild sufferer. I used to be when it first started. I wish I could go back there daily. I would only hear in silence. Now, I can hear it over lots of sounds. It's even reactive where it competes for attention over my attempts to mask. I hate it because it is there vibrating my head...
