The Current Year Is 2018

The reason why we dont have any treatment for Tinnitus is because there is not a lot of funding, it is also seen as a sprained leg, or better said a minor inconvenience. It is something that is brushed aside and thought of as not significant thus why we have CBT (useless). I think Tinnitus is going to become very common in a few years due to earbuds/ipods and other loud noises.

It's already very common, but it's gonna become even more common. I know I shouldn't think this, but I'm slightly glad that this is a trend. because more people with tinnitus = more demand for a treatment. More demand = more research spent on finding one (hopefully).

I think tinnitus also used to be seen as an ailment of the elderly (since it's more common as we age and have hearing loss). I think there will be a greater push to cure it with it now becoming increasingly common in younger generations.

There also needs to be a layer of disability that comes with the increase in incidence. Watch the profile rise when it becomes a visible, and rising cost to the Public purse.

After reading much about tinnitus what I know:

- There is no other ilness that is as complex as tinnitus is that has a cure right now.

- Reading posts of 2013 people were very optimistic they would find a cure in 2 years, what they found since then is that tinnitus is much more complex than they previsously though so that optimism turned into nothing...

I would not expect a cure in less than 20 years.

Let's be honest now. We both post on MPP and it's really easy to raise this figure when there's a small group of people constantly upvoting each other. This is why I don't bother looking at these numbers because they don't really mean anything. Unless, of course, you provide informative posts on Research. Those are upvotes that mean something.

Well then I assume you could use a different form of upvote. Quality posts in research threads generally get an informative or helpful mark.

The cure for tinnitus will be found the same day that be find a medicine against madness, for example, the one that everyone assumed that had Christopher Columbus when he said that the earth was round.

That is, never. Because in reality the guy was never crazy . And now that with the previous example I just separated the biological part of the diseases, I go back and tell all the wise men/woman in the forum that they think they know everything, but that they really do not know anything, that: tinnitus is the work of the devil, for the simple reason that there is no hell (tinnitus) without a devil. They are inseparable.

are we just all fallen angels

Not an argument.

I agree that some ENTs and most in Northern California do not follow clinical guidelines listed in this link. If they did an examination would take many hours and several visits. Sometimes with one sided problems, there's something physical going on and that should be examined further.

I also advise all patients with serious tinnitus to read this publication and compare it with the procedures they have experienced.
