Tinnitus is a phantom auditory perception that occurs in humans. Tinnitus, which is a distressing problem affecting many people around the world, is commonly referred to as ringing in the ears. No effective drug therapy is available for this elusive disease, although much research work into mechanism and possible treatment is underway. As yet, there are no Food and Drug Administration approved drugs available and the quest for a new treatment option for tinnitus focus on important challenges in tinnitus management. A number of options have been used to treat patients with tinnitus, but outcomes have been limited. A new, curative modality will provide a turning point in the management of tinnitus. The purpose of this review article is to discuss the pathophysiology, global burden, current treatment, and prevention of tinnitus, with future prospective studies in new drug therapy for this elusive condition.

I love it when every once in a while someone comes around who churns up some positive and cheerful messages from quite some time ago. After all, no one should become too hopeful about this condition, right? Thanks man. This really keeps us going.

In other words; I see the article you referred to is from 2015(!! yes, that is 2 years ago already), what exactly does this add to the discussion if I may ask? What exactly is the point?

Yeah, I really don't get the point. Maybe these two guys just want to feel better by making everybody else feel worse and unhappy like them.
