Not sure if this has been posted. I could not find it when performing a quick search here, but I unfortunately do not have the time to search thoroughly. My apologies if this has been posted already. This is about Will Sedley's research and his view on the current state of affairs.

Just putting this out here; researchers at the University of Melbourne are developing a new non-invasive way to observe living human structures at scales smaller than 10 micrometres. This could have future implications for one of the current problems at hand; imaging and observing a living...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I found it to be an interesting read. It touches on the question if nerve cells return to their former wiring after hearing loss is restored; which they seem to do to some extend, although it is not sure if this happens fully. It also poses that even a...

Hello all, So I visited a neurologist yesterday, it wasn't specifically for Tinnitus but for the equilibrium disturbances I sometimes experience since the acoustic event and the onset of the Tinnitus. I couldn't hold myself back though and asked him if he thinks the brain might play a role in...

I have been pondering the following currently. Maybe it is complete bollocks and for sure it is hugely simplified, but it might also be an interesting idea... Reading up again on Shore's research about somatic tinnitus, one of her findings indicate that somatosensory response becomes more...

Came across this page today: http://www.henriettes-herb.com/blog/hotw-ground-ivy.html It specifically mentions the following. Of course this is completely anecdotal, however, maybe someone tried and can share their experience with this herb.

I see this has not been discussed before... Or I missed it while searching... This is often heard when consulting alternative practitioners: an imbalance with the kidneys of some sort as a cause for Tinnitus. I know; it sounds ridiculous, but there might be something to it... Let's give this a...

I've come across an article which states the characteristics of Acoustic Shock Disorder (ASD). ASD differs from Acoustic Trauma in the sense that no sensorineural hearing loss is present or detected, yet the following symptoms show up. Headache (not for me) Tinnitus (check) Ear pain (check)...

Came across this story today. I am not sure if this has been posted before, but user "quietkids" on this page reports having recovered from Tinnitus after an acoustic trauma when posting about it 4 years later. I think it might be helpful to some...

Recently I have been reading a lot about "discordant dysfunction theory" for Tinnitus. It is quite an old theory, but still seems interesting (to me at least) as a potential etiology for Tinnitus. I have done some searching on this forum, but can only find some references to it in some other...

I will be crossing the 6 months boundary coming October 28th after a noise exposure (one single concert for about 2.5 hours) on April 28th of this year. Tinnitus is still pretty much the same with some "good" days and "bad" days here and there, no consistent pattern of improvement so far, unlike...

So I finally went to the ENT after 5 months of having Tinnitus. The man had a look into my ears and heard me out, as soon as the word "concert" fell, he was quick to conclude it was "cochlear damage" and there is nothing to do. I probably could have told him a lot about what I read about the...

After being around here for some few months now, I figured that instead of sitting on my bum waiting for the much fabled "habituation" to happen, I might as well do something constructive to the benefit of all Tinnitus sufferers. I'm considering donating some money to a deserving party in the...

Hello, Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I was randomly browsing the internet today and found this: http://neurosciencenews.com/alzheimers-hyperactive-neurons-3416/ It hypothesizes a link between hyperactive neurons and the development of Alzheimer's. Seeing as Tinnitus is now...

I notice a lot of hearing tests nowadays also focus on the speech-in-noise comprehension ability. I read some articles which say speech-in-noise comprehension is decreased with Tinnitus sufferers and speech-in-noise tests are a better way to detect this type of hearing loss than the classic...

Hello all, I'm Vinnie, 31, from The Netherlands. This is my first post here. I have been lurking around the forums for a few weeks now and ultimately decided to sign up and, for a change, open up with a success story instead of a depressing one! Don't get me wrong, I'm currently suffering a...
