Have a look at this - Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation improves both hearing function and tinnitus perception in sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients I am involved in research into tinnitus and what actually causes it. I have found whilst researching, that there are many...

If you read my previous posts you will see what I mean, 4th of April and before. Yes it comes from the brain caused in effect by the brain's neuro-plasticity but it also affects the cilia . . . . a complicated interaction called neuro sensory response. There is no one answer but a combination...

Electro-acupuncture? Was this done by someone adding a mild electro magnetic imput? If so, I have NOT recommended it. Even using TMS (Trans cranial Magnetic Stimulation) is not recommended. This is used for those with depression but can cause tinnitus. Trials have been carried out using TMS...

Halsy, Neurogenic tinnitus by it's nature involuntary. I disagree with the theory that T is a result of diminished neuroplasticity. I believe it's the opposite. As the article states damaged hair cells contribute to both hearing loss and tinnitus but it's not the complete picture. It also...

Kako si No yet, but working on it out of necessity. Why do you ask? I did say it was complicated. I'm writing a draft thesis.

Valeri, I've been researching tinnitus for the past 4 years . . . Neuroscience+. What most people have is neurogenic tinnitus ( controlled by the nervous system). Many things aggravate it, whatever the initial cause . . . even if the cause has dissipated, it continues. It can't be...

Are you talking homeostatic plasticity or hebbian plasticity? Alue, Both . . . . . . . Integrating hebbian and homeostatic plasticity . . . . . . and more. Neurons regulate their own excitability relative to network activity but when this activity remains constant (hyperactive) the neurons...

The human body is made up of 11 elements - oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. Basically an electromagnetic chemistry set. We have muscle nerves and like any electrical circuit it needs to run it's course and expel the...

Yes . . . . . Biomedical Acupuncture for Sports and Trauma Rehabilitation E-Book: Dry Needling Techniques 1st Edition, Kindle Edition by Yun-tao Ma (Author)

I prefer NOT to add electrical impulses . . . the brain does that already. I recently had dry needling treatment on my lower back. The muscles store electricity when they tighten up. The brain increases the neurotransmissions to get a response (neurosensory response) and this causes more...

Thanks for mentioning it but yes, I have heard of Aderazid. It is a NMDA receptor blocker which reduces the neurosensory response. The dorsal cochlear nucleus becomes hyperactive and the NMDA receptor blocker lowers the hyperactivity.

LOL . . . I would like to but I have to earn a living . . . . I do 2D and 3D design and this innovation in construction will pay the bills so to speak. Although I am male . . . . I can also multitask and I will continue my research. I actually know what the mechanism is that creates tinnitus...

The latter . . . and then some. I have been attempting find the time and funds to become a mature age undergraduate. I am in the process designing an item which will lower the cost of concrete post-tension construction, then I'll move to the Neurosciences. In the mean time I will continue my...

No . . .Sorry GregCA it isn't. The specific meaning of neurogenic is " caused or controlled by or arising in the nervous system." All senses are an inherent part of the nervous system ("controlled by or arising"). Using the word "caused" . . . well this is where we get into trouble. It may...

Seems to me you have neurogenic tinnitus, which is what many people with tinnitus have, but no-one has really researched this phenomenon until recently. Don't lose hope, I'm working on it. (Tinnitus study via Neurology/Neurobiology)

Sound coming through the tympanic membrane (eardrum) move the cilia. At the tip of the cilia are potassium ions which send electrical impulses to the cochlear nerve then to the brain. This is not a one way process. The brain sends neurotransmissions [NT] (electrical impulses) to the entire...

Joeymeatballs you mentioned "the cause". Many conditions 'cause' tinnitus i.e. result in tinnitus. Sometimes when the various conditions are cured or rectified the tinnitus disappears and sometimes it continues, getting progressively worse. The latter is when tinnitus becomes an entity unto itself.

Ok . . . . now . . . . this is were neurobiology comes in.

Where to begin . . . . . . The Mayo Clinic states "Head noise (tinnitus) can be caused by broken or damaged hairs on auditory cells . . . ." Note in the above statement "can be caused", which doesn't give us any answers. Of course, there is a lot more to it. One would argue that the...

Okay a clarification . . . . yes you can have hearing loss NOT caused by tinnitus ( the masking of frequencies ) as well as tinnitus. It would have to be a very switched on audiologist. Many audiologists (not all) as with many in the medical profession don't understand tinnitus. Here . . . . we...

If you do not have tinnitus but have hearing loss by all means, if it assists with any missing frequencies. However if you do have tinnitus using a hearing aid will make tinnitus worse and you will become hyper sensitive to noise. Difficulty hearing due to tinnitus means that the frequencies...

That's not a very optimistic view. Let's put it this way. Tinnitus has many causes i.e. conditions albeit many only temporary that trigger tinnitus but the mechanism is the same. The temporary cause or condition can be rectified but the mechanism persists. However the mechanism has a number of...

What is Auto Sensory Function? It is a default hierarchal process within all organisms. A hierarchy that sets default priorities we have little or no control over. Most times to the benefit of the organism but sometimes to the organism’s detriment. Example – an injury occurs, neurotransmissions...

White noise has triggered your tinnitus . . . . . period! The cilia (tiny hairs) are extremely sensitive. The constant exposure to the white noise frequencies has either damaged or placed the cilia into shock (that's when its only temporary ringing). Stop the white noise now!

I'm sorry to say it, but Keppra does NOT reduce tinnitus but it doesn't cause tinnitus either, so to speak. It is a broad spectrum stabilizer of electrical impulses with very few side effects which makes it an ideal anticonvulsant. Potassium channels exist to stabilize electrical activity...

First and foremost . . . . tinnitus is NOT a disease therefore it cannot be cured. It is a symptom/byproduct of many conditions or aliments. Some of these have treatments and as a result, the tinnitus will subside. (check out Mayo clinic, diseases/conditions/tinnitus). There are people who...
