    Eli Lilly to Spend 1.3 Billion for Hearing Loss Research

    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.

    Assessment of Treatment Efficacy in Patients with Chronic Tinnitus: An Ambispective Cohort Study

    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...

    Mass General Brigham Have Identified New Biomarkers for Tinnitus

    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...

    Lenire: Retrospective Chart Review Demonstrating Effectiveness of Bimodal Neuromodulation for Tinnitus Treatment in a Clinical Setting

    From Loud Venues to Tinnitus: My Sound Engineer’s Tale

    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.

    From Loud Venues to Tinnitus: My Sound Engineer’s Tale

    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...
