because the pathologies of tinnitus may be similar to phantom sensation of a lost limb, and hyperacusis may be similar to neurotrophic pain of a damaged nerve.

I still don't know what effect fixing the hair cells will have, if the hair cells are repaired the audiotory nerve is still damaged and with more hair cells sending sound signals it will only make hyperacusis worse.

I'm just speculating. I don't know the exact connection between tinnitus/hyperacusis, no one does.
more research is needed less dicking around.
We will perhaps know the answer to this debate soon. I think we will be vindicated like champs.
 
i failed at everything in life, what the fuck makes me think I'm going to be able to afford a treatment to restore the damaged synapses and hair cells in my cochlea.

Maybe we can get a MPP fund going to help each other out!
 
So I think I am going to get the MSI GS65. Thought?
 
It was also announced the Mutebutton is being released in Ireland in January.
 
we are hopeless, because not just one biomedical breakthrough would help us, we need several HUGE fixes that will not happen in our life time or ever. Science to repair the inner ear will most likely be in the deep future 100's of years from now when they can just use stem cells to grow a new audiotory nerve/cochlea entirely.

right now we are in the dark ages of "learning to suffer like a cuck"

regrowing new hair cells may be possible within 5 years. However it won't help hair cells that have damaged synaptic ribbons, and it probably it won't help hyperacusis since that is believed to be nerve damage.

tinnitus probably is deepy rooted in the brain and restoring the peripheral input to the cochlea won't change the neuroplastic alterations after a window of time.

We are all poor, unemployed and living wiht mental problems/otological problems and won't be able to afford hair cell regeneration once it does become available. Only the very rich will.


no one cares of people on the internet with mental problems have muffled hearing, tensor typani spasms, ear pain or zapping head noises.
Man I'm pretty sure this will be something covered by insurance and also cheap in the first place. Why do you assume it's going to be so expensive? It's a drug, not a surgery?!?!
 
There are scientist that say we will colonize Mars in 5 years,

Scientist that want to repair the inner ear are just as delusional, it's not going to happen, medical communities always have these loons that act ahead of their time or hold dumb controversial views. The reality is challenging the status quo is a bad thing.
Why are you so negative about the possibility of the inner ear being regenerated? They've already done it. More than one company in fact.

Yeah I know but I was just sharing this
@Contrast is a noble man, very intelligent, but like many of us, is struggling with this condition. He means well. He hates scammers. And he also is grounded in logic. He may not always come off as being in agreement with things we post, and sometimes seems to be in disagreement, but he is a swell chap. I love this man immensely. I hope we all get cured and one day I get to meet him face to face.

@Contrast deserves much accolades for his offensive actions against Daniel Toh.
@Markku, you should endorse that because these are wolves preying off of our community. Seriously. Im super cereal.

the video I posted effected a neurotransmitter. I'm wondering if just taking that neurotransmitter would have the same effect as boosting it by gene therapy. You can buy it online though it was expensive.
 
It's extremely low and basically gone right now. But will spike if I were to simple listen to a car radio a little high. My H is also been much more tolerable. The only thing I've been doing different is taking really really high doses of fish oil/omega 3s

Interesting
 
Nobel prize-winning economist Gary S. Becker has argued that FDA-required clinical trials for new drugs do contribute to high drug prices for consumers, mainly because of patent protection that provides a temporary monopoly which disallows cheaper alternatives from entering the market. He advocates dropping many FDA requirements, many of which provide no additional safety or valuable information, as this would hasten the development of new drugs, because they would be faster to bring to market, thereby increasing supply, and as a consequence would lead to lower prices.

Yeah I'm a paranoid and delusional "pita" that agrees with a Nobel prize winning economist.
