Do You Think Tinnitus Will Be Curable In Our Lifetime?

I personally think that this "natural level of tinnitus" combined with "it's just a harmless sound" is for sure the biggest reason why, to this day in 21st century, there is no cure or relief for tinnitus.

I know for sure that I never heard any noise from my ears, ever, there are also many others who will say the same. So telling us that everyone has tinnitus is the biggest BS based on some crap research or study done 50-60 years ago.

Can you imagine if cancer research was still based on belief that cancer is incurable and deadly???
To this day every single person who gets cancer would die!
But guess what? That's not the case!
Why?
Because billions and billions of dollars are poured into cancer research, there are survivors, many of them.
Prevention is the key as well, telling us to watch for changes here and there, check your breasts, Pap smears..... leads to early detection.

Tinnitus on the other hand is completely ignored, no prevention, nobody tells young kids to look after their ears, no ear plugs given when they attend mega loud events!
Imagine how many tinnitus cases could be prevented by raising awareness and teaching people about possible triggers.

I'm furious that influential people are doing nothing about it, furious that they are still telling us to get used to it, telling us it's just a neutral stimuli....
Yeah right!
Those people are to blame for no cure and for tinnitus sufferers still being treated like 500 years ago!

BUT there is a whole other spectrum to this which is once tinnitus is introduced it can mess with people's minds. I once heard a story about a girl who went to a concert and got so scared to get T she eventually developed it due to basically freaking out and so forth. Tinnitus is a very strange condition in that sense. And the human brain has to be the most complex living organ in the universe. Yes I think kids should be taught to be careful around loud noises. But you're bound to have people that will overprotect. Who become paranoid and what not. Tinnitus can happen when you're overexposed yes. But don't forget that tinnitus can also be caused by overreacting of the brain to certain sounds. It all goes back to how you feel. Stressed and depressed. Which is what makes a terrible horrific condition for most.
