    Tinnitus: Causes and Clinical Management (The Lancet Neurology)

    Wow! There are just so many approaches being tried. Yet they are to categorize which treatment would work for what. I think vns stimulation would suit more for ppl with non cochlear tinnitus. Although then they don't describe the patients history any where.

    Melatonin Might Be Beneficial, Especially in Preventing Hearing Loss?

    Thanks@erik for the caution. I am going to try using it only intermittently. I'd rather not be dependent on them. Thanks for the headsup

    Melatonin Might Be Beneficial, Especially in Preventing Hearing Loss?

    Does melatonin cause headaches the next day. I've taken it thrice now and 2 times I've had headaches the next day. Any one else had this.

    Loud Tone for a Few Seconds — Fleeting / Transient Spontaneous Tinnitus

    Ya so after all adjustments are done does it stop. If the gain can be adjusted can't the brain just switch off the neuron where the HIC is damaged

    Thinking about How Cool the Future Is Going to Be

    @Karl There may be good logic to what you have to say. Let's say there is some amount of damage to the haircells. This intern would cause an imbalance in the gain each neuron is asked to apply. Suddenly the neuron looses input but continues to apply the gain. So it's a sort of amplifier feedback...
