    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I agree with almost everything you said, but why do you think it will take 5 years? Maybe I’m just overly hopeful, but I believe that in about 16 months they’ll have the device ready for FDA submission, and it will be submitted shortly after, in line with their more optimistic timeline. I had...

    I wish Jon had spoken a little more about the dates he meant to indicate on this chart. I read this slide as showing that the earliest submission to the FDA would be in the second half of 2026, and the earliest FDA clearance would be in the first half of 2027.

    Thanks, mate. You have so much knowledge about this. I’m a 46-year-old male, and my profession is IT. Since my tinnitus started, I’ve been looking back and think I might have developed it from listening to music with AirPods and singing karaoke at home on my iMac at maximum volume. The sounds...

    Overwhelmed and Frightened: My Struggle with Sudden, Constant Tinnitus After a Stressful Breakup

    Thank you. I don’t really use headphones or earbuds very often, and when I do, I try to be mindful of the volume. Not when I was a teenager though, I used to blast it back then, but I haven’t for a long time. I also don’t go to many loud events or anything like that. I have autism and...

    The general rule of thumb is that sound therapy during the day should be set slightly below the level of your tinnitus, but it’s fine to mask it completely at night. That’s great news about your hearing improving! That’s a very positive sign. The tinnitus should begin to improve as well...

    Hey, MindOverMatter I know this is a late reply, but have you had ear wax removed manually before ? I've just been quoted 280 pounds ( UK ) but it would be done at a very reputable private hospital group ( Nuffield ) performed by an ENT specialist. I'm thinking I should just go for it.
