Can Blocking HCN2 Ion Channels Silence Tinnitus? RNID Funds Prof. McNaughton's Team to Find Out

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.

Here's an update by RNID. I had speculated the research had ran out of money. It's a bit ambiguous. However, I like that they engage with people. Sod those that do not!

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.
