MemberI have tinnitus (5 years) and have become more interested in the concept of neurogenesis as it pertains to hearing loss and tinnitus. There's a more detailed term for this called Epigenetic Neurogenesis.
"Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression (active versus inactive genes) that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence — a change in phenotype without a change in genotype — which in turn affects how cells read the genes."
I have been interested also in the use of fungi (mushrooms) as medicine and especially in their use for epigenetic neurogenesis. The world's leading mycologist (mushroom expert) is Paul Stamets. There is a video from a conference he presented at in 2017 where he discusses this in some detail toward the end of the video (start it at the 31 min mark and watch it until the end):
He presents a "Nootropic PSI- Complex stacking formula for epigenetic neurogenesis). It is a mixture of psilocybin (micro-dose level), lion's mane mushroom and niacin.
He says specifically: ".. for creativity, cognition, PTSD, and regeneration of vision and auditory neurons."
He especially calls out hearing professionals to study this further.
I have used the psilocybin and lion's mane separately and individually and I can say that I do feel sharper mentally and I think my tinnitus has benefited (been reduced) by the use of either and/or both of these fungi.
