So far, AI is increasingly being used for protein folding and function prediction (such as Google AlphaFold), the generation of new molecules, the discovery of new materials, and automated scientific research in AI (such as Sakana AI and Google AlphaEvolve). One could say that current large...

It's not. It's linked from a UMich newsletter I just received on May 29th. The email stated the following:

A startup funding report from the University of Michigan has just been released. Auricle is briefly mentioned. Quote:

It seems promising, but I am concerned about the mention of “inherited hearing loss.” Hopefully, they will also focus on hearing loss caused by damage.

Thank you for the PDF. The results of this study are interesting because they compare something generally considered ineffective in most cases (pharmacological treatments) with another approach that relies on building suggestibility (TRT). The effectiveness of TRT is measured using a metric...

Okay, these results look like an intriguing exercise, but they do not seem to have a realistic future in tinnitus diagnostics. Basically, and excuse me if I am oversimplifying, they found that: tinnitus → distress → bodily expressions of distress. It looks interesting but unconvincing. The path...

It seems they did not measure subjective tinnitus loudness in decibels. That would probably have made the results more convincing. Still, we continue to face the problem of having no reliable biomarkers. Hopefully, the brain measurement tool being developed in Australia will become operational...

Is there any published paper that details the resolution of the viral vector issue?

May I ask how did you get this information?

Thank you all for your advice and encouragement. @frischky, have you ever recovered from these new high-pitched tones, or are they still present? By the way, I added these to my supplement list: Niacin Magnesium Glycinate Vitamin A Melatonin

Thank you. I have an appointment on July 4th to get some professional flat-frequency-response -17 dB earplugs. I'm not sure if it's enough, considering the whole situation. I might even buy a -30 dB capsule, even if its curve is not flat.

Introduction Hi all, I'm an electronic music musician (with modular synths and such) and live sound engineer. Both are hobbies of mine; I never formally studied them, which may explain some of my past carelessness. I'm 39, and I live in the Netherlands. I'm also a semi-pathological...
