    Tinnitus Suppression with Electrical Stimulation at the Basal Contact of Cochlear Implant Electrodes: Significant Improvement in 8 of 10 Patients

    I still believe this path of research is one of the most promising and potentially one that could deliver the earliest market-ready solutions. It makes sense to me conceptually.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    This was insightful. My personal conclusion is that work on getting the device released is very much alive, though it’s being done cautiously. Unfortunately, the regulatory process is slow. I appreciate that they were honest about it and didn’t offer a fake marketing deadline. This may feel...

    Am I the Unluckiest Person on Earth When It Comes to Tinnitus? My 6-Year Tinnitus Nightmare: How One Festival Changed My Life

    I am really glad if my message lifted your mood a little bit. :) I wanted to quickly respond to the part I quoted. Again, take my message with a grain of salt. I am not a sleep expert and can only speak from my own experience. When I read, "How can you sleep when your tinnitus is extremely...

    Tinnitus Onset 2.0: Tracking Progress, Setbacks, and Hope

    MAY WRAP-UP A quick one this time. I properly had my best week of the year in the first half of the month. I had a random setback of about ten days in the second half of the month, with a long series of intense days, at least symptom-wise. I am really making a conscious effort to stay grounded...

    I'm Fine — Tinnitus Is Basically Not a Thing Anymore

    A lot of what is written here resonates with my own tinnitus experience. The more I read about it, think about “solving it,” or look for supplements that might soothe the volume even just a little, the more tinnitus seems to become abrasive, both in volume and tone. One could argue the...

    One Night Out with Earplugs Triggered a Severe Tinnitus Spike After Years of Stability

    Hoping for the best for you. It’s unbelievable how fragile ears can be or become. I hope you won’t stay angry at yourself. You did your best, and given how deceptive a full recovery can feel, it’s completely natural and human to be tempted by activities that, for most people—especially with...

    Six Years Later: My Journey Through Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Recovery

    No disrespect, but I've seen you comment negatively or suspiciously on quite a few success stories, and I'm not sure I understand the purpose of that. I've been going through a second tinnitus onset for a few months now. Having had success after my first onset 15 years ago, I can confirm from...
