    Dysacusis Doesn't Get Better, Does It?

    No one has ever developed hyperacusis simply by staying in relative silence. You might notice some sounds seem louder than usual when you’re exposed to them again, but that’s just normal conditioning of the ears. It’s similar to thinking high frequencies sound very sharp right after cleaning...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Yeah, a transatlantic voyage… Southampton to New York… Hmm, I think I’ve seen that before, and I’m pretty sure it didn’t go well, LOL. At least not for a guy named Jack. But jokes aside, it isn’t easy to arrange such a trip, even for ordinary people, let alone for people like us whose ears seem...

    Elon Musk’s Neuralink Looking to Treat Tinnitus

    I’ve really lost hope in those kinds of predictions. 2023 also seemed promising, but FX-322 and the Otonomy treatments failed, and then the results from Susan Shore’s second trial were released. The device is probably being shelved now, given the recent news. I don’t believe anything new is...

    Artificial Intelligence — Assisted Tinnitus Support with ChatGPT-4

    There are many promising ones you can find in the Research News section of the forum, but none of them are realistic or will be available anytime soon.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I would consider it, but for some, it just isn't possible. Money, responsibilities, noise exposure, etc. I personally also have ETD and spasm issues so I hesitate to get on an airplane. But who knows in 10 years' time lol.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Well, someone already did. It was Lenire, and even with much more sketchy science and trial design. I really don't know what to say. I'm 31 now, from Europe. I hoped I would have a few years of relative youth left when something emerges, just to "be there" if things get too bad. With this news...

    We in Europe are possibly getting the Shore device in about 10 years the earliest if USA is getting it in like 6 years. Lol, thanks for nothing I guess.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Just keep your expectations low. We all want to hear something positive at last, but unfortunately, with the pace Auricle has shown so far, I don’t believe anything truly spectacular will come out of this Q&A.

    Prototype Device for Electrical and Magnetic Stimulation of the Ear in the Treatment of Tinnitus

    I love how these treatments appear with seemingly great results, yet we never hear about them again.

    I was hopeful about AI too, but I realized that even if it comes up with a solution, it will still need to be tested with trials and other processes. Which makes anything at least 10-20 years away...

    Just in case, I suggest you take some steroids/Prednisone, Betahistine, vasodilators or anything you have in hand.

    This kind of episodes troubles me as well. Sudden pressure, loud (different than my usual) tinnitus and sometimes changes in hearing (temporary, lasting around 1 hour). The description fits hydrops, but everytime I saw a doctor they found no other signs of hydrops. So they told me it might be...

    Elon Musk’s Neuralink Looking to Treat Tinnitus

    It seems that more people have received Neuralink. I don't think we know anything about it doing something for hearing disorders, but let's hope it will.

    Pregnant & Scared with Reactive Tinnitus — Your Help Requested

    I don’t think it helps much, and sorry to say, but sound therapy or sound exposure is not a proven treatment for reactive tinnitus or hyperacusis. Not even researchers have confirmed this, and Treble Health, in my opinion, is a scam. If it truly helped, there wouldn’t be so many members here who...
