    Hough Ear Institute's Hair Cell Regeneration Project

    Hi Mr. @Justin De Moss. First and foremost, I want to thank you for your interaction with this community. I think this in itself, is a major victory for the organization you represent. I have a rather specific question and will try to keep it as non-technical as possible. I won't cite specific...

    Neuroinflammation Mediates Noise-Induced Synaptic Imbalance and Tinnitus in Rodent Models

    I don't have the time to read through the whole study. But I did find this: "Our results suggest that noise exposure can initiate such a self-sustained, positive feedback loop of neuroinflammatory responses. Furthermore, noise-induced neuroinflammatory responses could result in...

    Our Prime Minister Just Got Tinnitus + Hearing Loss

    Nothing in the news about Yvan Mayeur (the mayor of the city of Brussels). @Markku I'll definitely contact you guys. I'll draft something more concrete and dive deeper into the European matter. I'll probably get back to you after my finals.

    Our Prime Minister Just Got Tinnitus + Hearing Loss

    I, too, live in Belgium. Lately I have been thinking of sending a letter in the form of a parliamentary question, this might be the perfect opportunity to make it stand out even more. I might be able to brush up some past connections within the circle of the MP's to get the question asked...

    Have Been Noticing I Wake Up with My Teeth Hurting Lately...

    T can be related with TMJ-D, which can cause Bruxism. But it doesn't necessarily. You should see an orthodontist or a dentist (they can at least make you a mouth-piece to protect your teeth).

    Breakthrough for DNA-Editing: US Team Discovers 'Holy Grail' to Fix Genes to Cure Incurable Diseases

    Off-forum: We need more Elon Musks. It's always the established players in the market that hold off 'disruptions' until they can assimilate en adjust/conform. (cfr. Coca-Cola vs. Stevia) And sometimes its just crazy lobbying. (cfr. Tobacco industry) But when we look at the car industry and...

    "I Say 2016 Is the Year of the Ear."

    Not saying that something will be found by 'accident'. But I am saying that we sometimes are looking too far and stumble over whats in front of us. Plus, the budget is getting bigger every month and our education is getting more accessible (at least in Europe).

    Hidden Hearing Loss, Tinnitus and Trouble Hearing Conversations in Noise

    I deem it useful! Regarding your question, yes I experienced the described difficulties as soon as my T set on. The moment I got my 'perfectly fine' audiogram I knew something was wrong with what we perceive as 'safe'. In fact, if you think about it. As soon as you take away everything that...

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

    Maybe you should get some information about a qEEG, they might be able to "measure" over-activity in the brain compared with other tinnitus sufferers.

    Health Tools to Recover Faster from Tinnitus

    Do you have a collection of research? I would love to indulge myself into it.

    Otonomy Starting Phase 1 Trial in 2015 for Tinnitus

    Interesting! Explain? Technically turning off the T would be a cure for the T, but not for the cause of it (eg. hearing loss (sound/medicinal/... induced), muscle tensions, TM(J)D,...). That is because of the fact that T is a symptom rather than a cause. Purely tinnitus-regarded, finding the...

    Otonomy Starting Phase 1 Trial in 2015 for Tinnitus

    I personally think that there are two major obstacles to be overcome when we want Tinnitus to be healed. The first obstacle would be the neural one. Healing and/or regenerating the neural damage/cells (like SGN's). Various researches have pointed that SGN damage occurs at a far lower sound...

    Kyoto University and Boehringer Ingelheim Team Up to Fight Hearing Loss

    "The partnership, which will begin in April and continue for three years, is reported to be an unusual move for Kyoto University. The institution rarely works with non-Japanese pharmaceutical companies at the early stages of drug development." As this article is good news (and a confirmation of...

    My Outlook Is Deteriorating, from Mild Tinnitus to Bad Tinnitus and Hyperacusis (Getting Worse)

    I am actually in a kind of the same situation as you. Had T for about 7 years. Then, when I went to a club (did it relatively frequent, biweekly or so) it was so much louder afterwards. Wore ear protection like I always did. Not only did the T spike tremendously, I got a light H too now. I...

    Bio-Electronics Introduction at University Delft

    Dirk de Ridder was/is head of 'hearing department' of the University Hospital Antwerp, where I am going. I might be able to ask if they know anything more of this kind of treatment?

    Short answer is 'Yes'. I'm in my finals right now, so I'll answer in a better founded post later on!

    Stem Cells and 'Regeneration' of the SGN's (Spiral Ganglion Neurons)

    Seems like the research in the field of stem cells is making progress, this one is regarding the Spiral Ganglion Neurons. I have originally posted this as a reaction on another thread (regeneration of the inner ear), but I notice that some people are bothered by the concentration on 'hair...

    New Stem Cell Transplantation Method Restores Damaged Auditory Pathways
