The Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) 2024 MidWinter Conference

I don't see that day ever coming, sadly.

 

Hi @ZFire.

The NHANES definition of tinnitus is one of several others that make pooling data across countries difficult. Last year at the ARO, Christopher Cederroth related that they ran into this while studying whether there is a genetic basis for tinnitus. I recall a new study was needed because of the varying definitions. Maybe someday there will be a way for agreeing to one definition.

Hey, didn't Megan Beers Wood give three separate talks at ARO?

 

Hi @Josh59,

I've heard back from Stephane Maison. The publication associated with his ARO poster is available at this link.

About solutions that could reduce hyperactivity in the brain he replied:

I ran a PubMed search on Polley DB and got about 79 hits. Some of the publications are available free online. If you are so inclined, you might want to start there. I'm very curious about Dan Polley's work, so I'll be reading, too.

Whether a top-down or bottom-up approach explains tinnitus was somewhat of a topic at the ARO last year. @Hazel asked Achim Schilling about it, and his explanation is here.

We also understood he is working on a computational model of tinnitus which would take into account both approaches.

Best,
TC

 

Hi, everyone. I saw this news.
