How in the heck is this news or a development? "This just in, it's probably from nerve damage. This paves the way for future treatments with nerve regeneration" Uhhhh no s***. They've been talking about that since I got it 5 years ago.

Tinnitus isn't necessarily permanent, as I've read many cases of spontaneous remission, even after years. Still, I agree. AI is a waste of time, and tinnitus is a tough nut to crack. We seemingly have made real progress, however.

I just heard on NPR Here & Now, they were promoting Lenire. A doctor out of Boston said his patients were having good rates of success. I was surprised considering how lackluster an experience everyone here seems to have.

I have no idea. I think he may be on LinkedIn. He spoke to me on the phone for quite a while one day. He's a really nice guy. I think Hough Ear Institute is legitimate but it's a non-profit that doesn't have operating capital. I also understood through Justin that this drug was previously a...

Huh? He doesn't work for Hough Ear Institute anymore.

Thank you for sharing. This is why I don't ever, EVER, leave the house without earplugs in my pocket, and extras in the car if I lose mine. There will be the damnedest most random unexpected situations that arise and I'm glad I have the ear plugs. Keys, wallet, cellphone, ear plugs. Just the...

Thank you very much.

Not to bring up the mice again, but I recall reading they can be ordered by labs with genetic alterations to be born with issues from the get go for testing new ideas.

Sorry if I missed it, but do I understand correctly, you had 65 dB of tinnitus years ago, used their device which caused a 15 dB reduction, which has remained consistent years later? I know that it didn't give the relief you've wanted or needed but still, an absolutely fascinating tip of the hat...

I think her device has to be on to SOMETHING... Several potential treatments operate the same way with sound treatments you listen to, and she's been talking about this for what, 2 decades or something? That would be an impressive failure.

How long have you been using the sound masking apps and have you started using any new ones or new frequencies?

My tinnitus varies over any given day or week like many others. One of my measurements that I've come to learn is if I can hear it while driving down the road. On days where I can say man, it's particularly bothersome, I can hear it over the road noise. On good days I can drive a while and...

Mazel mazel. Good things.

They haven't been released yet. I think the 3rd quarter of 2047.

I love how every potential tinnitus treatment article you read wants to spend 75 percent of the time defining tinnitus. Like no shit.

When I do the Valsalva maneuver, my left ear - the one that hums, is the first one to clog up.

If it's any consolation, I too have the low end that comes and goes, and goes away when shaking my head or the right noise frequency cuts it out. Humming or talking stops it but it returns instantly when I sstop. Frustrating but comforting that we all have this exact same thing. Clearly there's...

I'm serious. There are all kinds of supplements being sold - things that are ingested and made to help "_______". They just have to say on the label not approved by the FDA. Here we have a device. Sure, FDA approval is a large bolstering to their attractiveness but the bottom line is, it...

The thing is, it's a device. Not sure if it's really crucial to have FDA approval. If it's as good as they claim, many would buy it, and word will travel fast of its efficacy.

That study should be front a center headline news for tinnitus sufferers, no? Actually finding a biomarker would mean we can find a mechanism and target it right? Everybody who's in the "tinnitus cure game" should collectively spend their resources to identify mechanisms first... everything...

Could you tell me what's the fMRI imaging?

If you think about it, the plausibility of any possible cure would have to coincide with people who's T randomly disappears 5 years later.

Facebook claims 100 percent of profits today from dine in or take out orders at Texas Roadhouse will go to the ATA.

Eat at Texas Roadhouse tonight and 100 percent of the profits go to the American Tinnitus Association.

Justin was talking about how and why Hough Ear Institute acquired this drug candidate. I'd say a guy who was an employee of Hough Ear Institute knows a little more than you. But please do prove him wrong.

I spoke with Justin from Hough Ear Institute on the phone a year ago. Their drug candidate was actually indicated for something else, which I forget, maybe seizures? And they had a number of people report in the trial that their hearing and tinnitus had improved, not something anyone was looking...

I've said it before and I've said it again. Put in some tight earplugs or earmuffs and go do something around the house. Dishes, yardwork, gardening whatever. If you're like me, your tinnitus will be a lot louder but as soon as you take out the earplugs or earmuffs, it's quieter in an instant...

To date, my most effective "cure" for T is a hot bath and to get lost reading anything on the internet. How to's, whatever. Calms it down.

Again, do what I said. Put on earmuffs for 10-15 minutes and you'll notice how much louder your tinnitus becomes. Then take them off and you'll notice how much quieter it is with the other sound that's now allowed back in. Because it's directly correlated with hearing. Read these comments...

Not at all.

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction.

There's somebody in the success stories category claiming it's fully gone when wearing hearing aids and returns when taking them out. Not sure why they'd lie. I'm not making a blanket statement that it cures everyone - just that it's not unheard of - which in turn indicates tinnitus is not...

So does earwax removal in someone who has a bad clog. No it is not a cure all. My point is nobody can make the blanket statement that it's only in the brain and therefore, it doesn't respond to hearing improvements. That is false.

Because it doesn't work for everyone. The fact is, it does work for some. That means claiming fixing hearing doesn't solve tinnitus is a falsehood. Sorry about your stupidity, hope you feel better soon.

Wish mine would go. 2 years and 6 months. Noise induced.

The fact that some people's tinnitus goes away entirely when they put in hearing aids, and it comes back when they take them out, is all the answer I need.

Thank you for your response. I'm beginning to think there is some legitimacy to sound therapy post acoustic incident. Several people have seem to have success, and the Susan Shore device is also using sound. In the very beginning I HAD to use a box fan next to my head as it was so terribly loud...

Echo and seashell sounds a lot like ETD. I think I've read if that's the case it goes away when you lean forward with your head down by your knees, helping it close up?

How long did you maintain with white noise machines and how long did you take a break from them? I tried early on but can't sleep to it (as hard as it is to sleep to my tinnitus, it almost seems more reactive if I use the machine to sleep to. But it seems like more people are getting healing...

Older gentleman friend of mine had some hearing loss and no T. He fell, broke his hip, surgery, PT, Said he can hear so much better oddly

How have you been? To me that's GREAT news because it sounds like yours can be worked out somehow. You have a physical component.

I've had it 2.5 years among other sounds. At onset it was HUGE and loud. I had to sleep next to a box fan and stay outside as inside it was super loud. Then it'd go away for months, then back a day or so, then gone then back sometimes a month... Nowadays I have it most evenings but it is much...

Interesting. Well, take SOME comfort in knowing that's easier to ignore than the non rhythmic woh woh random pulses of low end. When it's constant it's just "oh the furnace is on."

Same, often. Thanks for sharing. It actually helps me to know I'm not alone in this aspect of tinnitus, which honestly the majority of our community don't share.

God I can't believe it but your symptoms are identical to mine (as far as the low hum in my left. I have other sounds as well overall). Ugh. I have to say it brings me comfort that others have this same thing. Do you guys ever have it change from a non-rhythmic and random "woh woh" to a...

Coronavirus can make tinnitus much much worse. The CEO of Texas Roadhouse took his own life after getting COVID-19 because his tinnitus got so bad. That in itself was reason enough for me to get vaccinated. I got both shots of Pfizer. Zero effect on my tinnitus. I have noise induced, some slight...

One day we'll look at old photos of ourselves and say, oh that was back when my ears rang

Did it make those 2 quieter as well, or no?

This is exciting news guys... but I warn to you all, as us tinnitus veterans know, guard your heart here. The video says the science is proven in animal models - this is only the first baby step barrier to entry - lots of medicine works in the animal model but not humans. Note the video...

Elon is not the guy that's going to solve this. I am so sick of this being a topic. He legitimately is not applying what it takes to fix this on a daily basis - he's knee deep in Tesla, Mars, etc etc. Just because his latest girlfriend has tinnitus, doesn't mean a thing.

I find foam earplugs to be the most protecting. So much so that I don't wear them unless something is going to be really loud, and I work in auto restoration so it's often loud. Foam you have to roll up in your fingers first, then with your arm behind your head, pull the top of your ear up...

False. They're working on reversing the damage done to ears by noise.

I've had noise induced tinnitus 2 years now. I understand what you're going through. Let me offer some experience though. I don't leave the house without earplugs in my pocket. I work a noisy job. I wear them when I'm working. I have encountered tens of situations exposed to unpredictable...

Glad to see she is still producing real research for the good of our community... I just hope something comes from it.

So sorry buddy. I really DO feel your pain. I absolutely do think the wisdom teeth coming in is related. I knew a guy whose tinnitus was affected after having a tooth pulled. The nerves are all related in that area. Work on the TMJ as that's a documented cause. Give yourself small...

I sure could use some good news or some reason to have hope. I mean real hope.
