    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Hah! I wish I did know that initial donor, I'll work on that... And that's awesome. I love hearing it. There's a famous movie line here in the states..."If you build it, he will come." I believe that the existence of an endowment could help secure its funding, and it also provides a convenient...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Would Tinnitus Quest ever consider creating a separate account, for example, an endowment, that people can donate to where only the income would be used to fund research while the principal balance remains untouched? This would create a permanent source of funding for the charity. Thank you for...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I could be wrong, but they’ve been collecting questions for a couple of months and have probably already started consolidating them. There might still be a link to submit questions somewhere, but I doubt it.

    Why do you think that? It seems like a professional scientist would have considered this, though I imagine trials get rejected by the FDA many times. Please work on mindfulness until then.

    2024 US Presidential Election

    I'm not aware of a good justification for it given its operating costs. We should be examining every facet of public spending for waste, fraud, and abuse.

    2024 US Presidential Election

    I think that over the next 10 years, we’re only likely to see two promising treatments: the Susan Shore device and electrical stimulation of the inner ear, like Dr. Djalilian’s device, which I think is the most promising. I’m optimistic that with advances in AI and quantum computing, the pace...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    All the time spent arguing back and forth here, including some of mine, could have been used in a more productive way to help find a solution to our situation.

    Suicidal Two Months After Tinnitus Onset from a Child's Scream

    That is wonderful you are starting CBT. Have you seen an ENT to rule out treatable causes?

    Suicidal Two Months After Tinnitus Onset from a Child's Scream

    So many of us have been there. Two months is nowhere near enough time to assume you are going to feel this way forever. It took me about a year to truly come out of the fog. Hang in there. Rule out possible causes with medical doctors, stay away from negative message boards, and focus only on...

    I think the Dr. out in California has been studying the relationship between tinnitus and migraines as well. Dr. Djajilian or something along those lines.

    More than likely not a problem. It's simply not loud enough and long enough to cause lasting damage.

    I've never had this problem, but I bought a plastic bowl of Howard Leight plugs early on when I first experienced tinnitus. Seemed like the cheapest option and I just keep the small individual bags of it in places where I might need them.
