I try to get everyone on this forum to realize one thing, the inner ear and how it responds to damage is very much of a medical enigma and no one has the answers yet, and I think only a handful of otologist and neurologist really have a wide understanding of what may be going on, but that doesn't mean they can cure it. All this neuro-science and otological science goes way over my head.
This forum is a place to learn such as how to not to buy snakeoil and how to spot scams, and learning about hidden hearing loss being a hidden culprit for most sufferers. Or giving their ears quiet time to heal after loud noise injuries. Most members do learn from each other, but I'm afraid the general public with tinnitus/hearing problems isn't getting this advice and snake oil and pseudo-science is rampant such as Liam Bohem and homeopathic Ringease that is a cancer spreading within the community. hidden hearing loss goes undiagnosed and TMJ and ETD could be misdiagnosis in some cases. People think sound intolerance is a weakness and expose their ears to loud noise and get worse. The whole reason I'm on this forum is because this to prevent people from making the same mistakes.
We got people like myself and Bill Bauer warning people on the forum about HHL aand that they could get worse if they act wreckless and Joyce going out of her way to report journalism on cochlear damage and explaining her own story to raise awareness. We have JohnAdams testing novel treatments, and Autumnly on Twitter raising a lot momemtum, and even Threefirefour trolling success stories! We are literally challenging the status quo!
