We'll explain your reasoning why you think it will take close to a century for cochlear hair cell regeneration?
Well by saying "by the end of the century", I'm making sure I'm very likely to be right. If it happens tomorrow, or in 99 years, I'm still right either way.
 

HOLY SHIT WE NEED TO GET THIS GUY IN MY POSTING PLACE!
 
I was thinking about making Youtube content for my posting place but I worry I will run into issues such as "negatively advertising for this website.
 
randomly off topic but I am using a modded Windows 2000 to post this

They don't wanna solve it or H because they need them sweet WNG kickbacks $$$$$

Thousands of dollars for hearing aids when you can buy earbuds for $10 lmao

Sorry, just super bitter lately.
 
I was watching the film THE SIEGE today, starring Denzel 'BADASS' Washington.

There's a scene where he's within earshot of a explosion. Later on his ear his bleeding.

And then, AND THEN! Someone later on asks Denzel, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

"Fine. Fine. Just a little tinnitus in the ear". The ear is also plugged up too.

How can Hollywood misrepresent this. He would not be the badass Denzel we all love. He's be on TinnitusTalk talking about how much his life sucks, like mine!

Or in the Office! You know that funny show? A gun goes off near Ed Helms ear and he freaks out! "Guys, there's this crazy ringing in my ear!" he says. But he comes back. "Doctor says burst eardrum, will take weeks to heal". Suddenly he's back to funny Mr. Ed Helms! TOTALLY NOT REALISTIC!

I hate my life.

Man I have this fear that even if by some miracle we do eventually regrow hair cells, the brain just won't shut up and continue to ring because it just got too comfy making that phantom noise :grumpy:

Gonna also say that, as much as it sucks, habituation is the best thing we got at the moment and I don't discourage it. Hell, H made me habituate overnight because I found something far worse to worry about. What I do discourage though is considering it the end all be all, which unfortunately so many people seem to do. Telling someone to just "live with it" is not medicine. It's laziness.

It actually seems more likely that tinnitus is caused by nerve fiber damage not hair cells. Though they might play some role.

the nerve fibers and hair cell damage both cause central gain to take place so then repairing both should help tinnitus.
 
Ugh, if it's nerve damage, that type of treatment has been elusive pretty much everywhere in the body. :(Usually once a nerve is damaged significantly enough, it's over...

Where are those miracle Bioshock sea slugs when you need them lol
 
This thread sure does bring in a lot of ad revenue with 8000+ views thats the real reason it's not deleted.
 
tfw you wish you had that time gizmo Hugh Neutron "master of time and space" abused so you could point it at your ears to undo your T&H :grumpy:
