A commendable effort. Godspeed with Tinnitus Quest!

Wrong. Read the Q&A. It works for noise-induced tinnitus as well.

It's illogical to think that past failures are a sign of future failures.

It is nice to think that all this research currently happening probably means our children will have better treatments and/or a cure. Professor McNaughton looks very old. I hope he has people continuing the work after he's retired.

I would choose EarPlanes + earmuffs. EarPlanes offer 20 dB noise reduction according to the manufacturer.

It's the same as with many other health conditions known to humankind. Take for example MS (or any other neurological disease), some can cope with it very well for a long time, while it destroys others quickly. Maybe some population group are more susceptible to auditory disorders being more...

I would just ask the dentist to take frequent breaks with the drilling. Cotton wool might be a good idea to help your nerves.

For a lot of people it is like that. If the tinnitus or hyperacusis is mild or moderate, sound therapy and counseling can help greatly to continue with life. The vocal few who are on the verge of suicide from it all can't see the forest for the trees. That's why there are nutcases like @Travis...

We can come back in 2030 for an update on the (potential) Phase 2 results :) Is it like 10-15 years on average between pre-clinical and market availability...

It gets tiring reading your crap all over. I'm usually nice to all kinds of people, but you are just a dimwit who has no concept of how drugs work. Your fearmongering is more harmful than taking benzos short-term to survive and for some temporary relief. I blocked you now, there is nothing of...

Continued use could give better results, but it could be the other way around too, no? What if maladaptive plasticity takes once again place in the brain over time (over several months of device use for example) and you either start getting worse from the treatment or you hit a permanent...

Holy shit, don't spread misinformation like that. If I fire a shotgun next to your unprotected ear, you can very likely get a spike that never goes down and forms a new baseline. Thousands of people on these forums have experienced spikes that turned out to be permanent, forming new baseline...

So few get it this bad that it doesn't matter how widely it is broadcast. Most people think there are worse things in life. They can never empathize with the turmoil we face.

Maybe the lack of objective marker makes the big pharma less inclined to be involved? I'm sure they know about this development. Even with the full backing of big pharma this would be 8-10 years away at best... I wish I could be put into cryogenic sleep until we have something!

A couple of weeks ago you were considering suicide, now that you are seeing improvements, you are risking it all again? Your ears will be forever more fragile than other people's. Don't be a fool in this stage of your recovery, or ever in future.
