I've been looking at what's on the net about the brain and the best easy stuff I found is called "Searching for the mind" by Jon Lieff MD. There are many aspects to the functioning of the brain and I had hoped to find something to explain tinnitus at a deep, technical level because it's only...

Thank you Kolisar.

I've seen somewhere on this forum a set of sound recordings other than the three excellent examples by Stink, Blair 14 and Stephanie 19115 in which simulated sounds covering a wider range of sound patterns were shown. Does anyone remember this or could anyone please point me in the right...

Thanks Danny Boy. Very helpful BBC article. I tried to get the other references' articles but couldn't.

Our maths lecturer not spoke only in broad Glaswegian (I'm a Londoner) but was used to having a "wee" dram of the good stuff at lunch times. Need I say any more?

I love dreary, rainy, cold, windy days. We get a lot of that in England. Raiz3R is absolutely right in my opinion. The warmest I can tolerate is 18 deg C. The trouble with our climate is the awful humidity. That comes through being surrounded by sea that's never far away.

In most music there are several instruments or voices playing, often making different frequency sounds. The concept of harmony is based on the ratio of various ones. 2:1 is an octave and is regarded as a perfect harmony. 3:2 is the next, then 4:3 and so on, each one being slightly less...

I play the sax and I've been getting loud noises in my right ear for years from the trumpet section! I also have T.

I'm a Christian too but belief doesn't help solve the problem of how to cure T. To find a cure we must first know what causes it at the microscopic scale. For a reasonable complete answer to the question of what causes T please refer to the following:- The Pathophysiological Mechanism of...

Hello teacher34. I agree that T may well begin in the brain. For a reasonable complete answer to the question of what causes T please refer to the following:- The Pathophysiological Mechanism of Tinnitus. Jae Ho Chung and Seung Hwan. Lee Hamyang Medical Review 2016:36:81-85. This is in English...

Hi Thierry. For a reasonable complete answer to your question of what causes T please refer to the following:- The Pathophysiological Mechanism of Tinnitus. Jae Ho Chung and Seung Hwan. Lee Hamyang Medical Review 2016:36:81-85. This is in English and gives good references. It isn't very...

What frequency were they using?

The first time I fired a .303 rifle in the RAF the sudden noise gave me a whistling in my right ear which lasted three day and nights. The RAF gave me no earmuffs or earplugs when I fired the gun and I think it was negligent of them. What ear protection do American soldiers wear in battle? Do...

I agree that stem cell therapy may one day cure tinnitus and as a sufferer I welcome the idea. But I'm also aware that the signals that cause tinnitus could be coming from neurones in the auditory area of the brain. I don't see how stem cells could cure that. Could someone please explain.

Why is it good that there is no cure now?
