      Is it beneficial to take Magnesium threonate for people with hyperacusis and tinnitus, @HomeoHebbian?

        I take one capsule of this every night before sleeping and it helps me a lot.

      Hi, what are your views on the potential of NMDA receptor antagonist gacyclidine in the treatment of tinnitus? I see Otonomy are evaluating this drug in a phase 2, do you think that this may even treat chronic as well as acute tinnitus?

        This is the only study I could find - Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2010 May;267(5):691-9. doi: 10.1007/s00405-009-1126-1. Epub 2009 Oct 22.

        1) no control, 2) effects were temporary, 3) doesn't really make sense.

        Otonomy is a hammer looking for a nail. They have a bunch of patents on this method for cochlear drug delivery and now they are fishing for possibles uses.

      Do you believe treatments such as deep brain stimulation or rTMS, offer any prospect of success?

        It seems clear we are a long way off to defining protocols to use these methods rTMS and DBS effectively.

        It is like trying to solve the puzzle on Wheel of Fortune with only one or two letters revealed. The parameter space for how/where/when to stimulate using rTMS and DBS is vast and we have very few guiding principles in place for the appropriate use of these technologies for tinnitus, specifically.

        As a field, we need to test interventions and not just fiddle around, but we also need good objective markers of the pathophysiology underlying tinnitus. At present, we don't know what it is we are trying to erase, reverse, correct etc. so, unfortunately, these efforts are shots in the dark for the time being.

        Do you mean Josef R? (Rauschecker). Perhaps you could point me towards your source. It sounds plausible, but I would like to read instead of just firing off a quick answer.

        Thank you for the link, I've seen that before. The presentation from Josef Rauschecker was on YouTube, if you type his name and tinnitus it should pop up first. There is a link to his slides on here somewhere I will try and find them.

      Hi Professor. I'm a new member and had a question on your research. Is this a private way to message?
