Even if it does work for them, they shouldn't spam it everywhere, because we've already heard it a million times.

This just gave me an idea! I wonder whether undergoing a lobotomy might make one stop caring about the sound of tinnitus?!

According to a tinnitus researcher on Reddit, no. The tinnitus latches itself into the brain after 5 months
Apparently lab rats that underwent audiatory lobotomy after 5 months still "displayed tinnitus symptoms".

I didn't think it would get rid of the sound. I was thinking more along the lines of habituation - not caring about the sound...
Well I don't think a lobotomy is gonna help that. If it did help with crapbituation, I guarantee you that tinnitus researchers would be focusing on that like a laser lol.
Fellas, I actually got it passed moderation. I suggest you look up "Jastreboff" on Urban Dictionary.
I noticed that there's interesting personality dynamics at play here on this site. It's always cool to know how users feel about others.So I was wondering, who do you like and dislike? Who do you thing are the most helpful people on the site?

I've had a brush-in with both of the people you mentioned, and even in argument they're still very nice. I can see why Karen is a mod and Billie is a site ambassador.
Cure hearing loss and we'll see an improvement in tinnitus, if the brain is able to faulty wire it self why can't it undo faulty wiring?

I feel like that dumb "Reddit cure" made my problems even worse... I feel so stupid for falling for it a week ago but I had legit lost my mind at that point and was desperate to try anything.
I feel like that amount of noise also can't be good for you, even though you're just thumping your head... But it feels so intensified when you cover your ears.

It seems like this would be the case. Perhaps even without that as it can be relieved with dedicated brain retraining daily over the course of months. We all have tinnitus so it's hard to imagine it going away, but it's far more common than not. Even for long lasting tinnitus.
Just because a group of scientists could not make it go away using a specific technique after 5 months does not necessarily say tinnitus is stuck. It may very well indicate that their ablation technique is primitive or flawed. I've heard way too many stories going both ways to think it can't be dealt with. I certainly went from no tinnitus to having tinnitus. My brain sure changed for that. I've seen no comprehensive explanation as to why our brain can't go the other way. Mostly conjecture.

@threefirefour
Well the thing with chronic pain is that even if the cause is solved, it can still persist, because it's a brain problem.
@annV
According to newer researcher tinnitus is not the phantom pain from damaged hair cells/nerve fibers but rather the auditory part of the brain amplying it's internal volume to pick up on damaged frequencies and as a result it causes hyper neuronal activity in various regions of the brain which we can hear. (tinnitus) It also results in undamaged higher frequencies being amplified as well making them sound extra ordinarily loud. (hyperacusis)
