      It is nice to think that all this research currently happening probably means our children will have better treatments and/or a cure.

      Professor McNaughton looks very old. I hope he has people continuing the work after he's retired.

      Oof, it does not sound good at all.

      I received an email from RNID, and they mentioned that they're just waiting for the results to be published before releasing a news article. It feels great that they plan to publish something — fingers crossed!

      I don't think it sounds great that the research project has concluded. If I had to guess, the results likely focus on HCN2-closing compounds. What I find most interesting is the relationship between tinnitus and type II afferents. I would like to see further investigation into that.

      What results are you referring to? I assume you mean the animal trial results that we already knew about from way back last year.
