It might be possible -- or even likely that it helps Meniére's patients who also suffer from tinnitus... a niche group I freely admit. I seem to recall reading that tinnitus can accompany Meniére's. But I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

Here is a ummm... lively dialogue some of us had with a lucky man who found his way to habituation or coping. He seems to have had hyperacusis too... Anyway, for your perusal: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/im-fine-%E2%80%94-tinnitus-is-basically-not-a-thing-anymore.55510/ My...

Duh… umm… tinnitus? No, I was only kidding you. Loud noise, of course. Ever the compulsive optimist, I'd be blind not to notice that tinnitus research is a bit like the stock market: Some lad with his test tube gets an idea. He makes a computer graphic that demonstrates how it works. He...

Welcome to the world of Chronic Tinnitus. It's an up-front lifetime series of "lectures" on basic science. For instance, the first line of your post says: I’m kind of gobsmacked by that sentence, and my brain immediately goes, “Whoa there!” Causation. And here we are, in the thick of life as a...

Sorry to hear that you're going through a bad patch, @El BUZZ. My tinnitus has gone into a spike too from a succession of events. It's hard to say exactly what caused it. A smoke alarm going off in the room Getting my flu and COVID jabs for the winter Going to the dentist who wanted to clean...

Link? If you have one.

Whether it is through Tinnitus Quest or simply because the world is getting louder and more people are suffering from tinnitus, or possibly both, tinnitus and hearing are no longer subjects that are stored away in the attic gathering dust. Or, for all I know, perhaps the editor of ScienceAlert...

About a year ago the landlord served notice, and I ended up in the old folks’ home. I am pretty much the baby of the old folks’ home if you get my drift. I am sprightly, I enjoy life as much as I can, and I walk for an hour by the river most days. But it has a fire alarm. Getting exposed to...

There is so much uncertainty that it is difficult to make a clear prediction. One prediction that has already come true is that this will be a long war. Both sides are trying to wear the other down, whether economically, militarily, or psychologically. It appears that the Russians have changed...

Now I am sitting in the back row over here in Europe, so I do not know all the fine details. However, it seems that Marjorie Taylor Greene is becoming the focus of loyal Republican opposition to Donald. Mark my words, there will be conflict in the White House once they publish, translate, and...

You have my fullest sympathy. My tinnitus has not reached the point where it affects my stomach yet, but it is getting worse. I sometimes wonder whether it has shifted from hearing damage-related tinnitus to age-related tinnitus. That cannot be ruled out. I was hoping that time would...

A novel approach? Outside-the-box thinking? Uncovering every last stone? But just wait for the statisticians to sift, sort, and parse it. In my view, since noise damage is clearly and unquestionably the most frequent trigger of tinnitus, maybe tinnitus is the cause of the changes in the gut...

Duh… I thought the Bionic Lab Institute of Australia, in Adelaide, I think, had already taken care of that. There’s a lengthy thread about it here. Is there some kind of “Chinese wall” between the various researchers or what? FYI...

Sometimes the truth comes out. There’s the case of Kim Philby, who trained the fledgling U.S. counter-espionage agency, the CIA, in the 1940s and 1950s. Incredible but true. He spent his golden years not in England but in Moscow, along with McLean from the British Ministry of Defense and Burgess...

Most likely, if there were any evidence that Trump had engaged in pedophile activity, it would have surfaced by now. It’s much more plausible that he knew about Epstein’s preferences and chose to turn a blind eye. But knowing someone’s preferences and finding out what they do in private are two...
