This more or less sums it up. Reversing damage and "healing" anything in the auditory pathway beyond the eardrum is a monumentally more complex and difficult task, though, and the next best thing is treating the symptoms. That's the million-dollar question, isn't it?

I completely agree. I think it is mainly that many people are suffering and have suffered for a long time. They just want the tinnitus gone and are frustrated with the timeframe. The reality is that progress happens slowly, but we should be grateful for the people who are working on it. It is...

The dip at 3 kHz that I believe you are referring to is actually from my otoacoustic emission result. It is obtained by playing sound into my ear and listening for a kind of echo. It has nothing to do with whether I tell them I hear the sound or not. My actual pure tone threshold at 3 kHz is...
