On which new medicine (like XEN) or treatment would you place your bets @PortugalTheMan ? Personally, though I have some reservations, I do think that Dr. De Ridder's treatment has some merits. Ketamine might help us dissociate from tinnitus (=change self perception vs. default network) & the new HD-tPNS might be more effective in brain manipulation due to close mimicking the natural fire pattern of neurons

@Christiaan Are you talking full-blown ketamine use or those infusions? I have my bets placed on psilocybin.

Ey @kingsfan , nop. Dr. De Ridder is going to apply low dose ketamine in the New Zealand study. Why do you think psilocybin has more potential?

@Christiaan After this interview I'm hopeless about any medication and I lost hope in oto-313, the T is much more complex than I thought. since he says that correcting hearing loss may not mean anything for tinnitus.

@PortugalTheMan I think he was talking about probabilities. So something like FX-322 is not a one-size-fits-all medicine that helps people with tinnitus, regardless of the cause (e.g more effective for people with NIHL than for someone who has somatic tinnitus).

@Christiaan It's all based anecdotally. I've just seen people post here and reddit and a few other places about psilocybin helping them but nothing positive about ketamine.
