I just logged on here and saw a few fellow members recently passed away. I am extremely saddened to hear this and wish a lot of strength to the...

Just FYI; Luxturna received FDA approval in December 2017. https://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm589467.htm Great...

Yes, I strongly believe restoring inputs is the best way forward in Tinnitus reduction. I came across an excerpt of text today which reaffirms my...

It would be interesting to see if restoration of auditory input to the brain will bring down the tinnitus perception. If the brain is truly...

Let me be clear in saying that I don't exclude an issue in the brain as a consequence of hidden hearing loss (or any type of sensory/hearing...

I know what you mean. I guess I have developed the same "technique". I use a certain muscle and it brings relief for a very short time. Well, I...

I wonder on what basis you think it is a meme. Research has been done by Charles M. Liberman on this subject and a loss of cochlear synapses has...

I'm afraid you're misunderstanding the complexity of the hearing organ. A sine sweep is an even more crude measurement than an audiometric test,...

You might still have hearing loss. Current audiometric measures are way too crude to accurately report on such a delicate and detailed organ as...

Sounds familiar. My ears have been popping for 1.5 years now since I went to a concert. It never cleared up totally, but seems to cycle between...

With this point I agree. Actually that should be common sense and a recommendation to both people with and without Tinnitus. A completely...

I disagree. Tinnitus alone can be all that's needed for a person to consider this act (heck, people even commit suicide for lesser reasons than...

The research here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26657094 suggests that the middle ear muscle reflex might be an indicator for cochlear...

Hello Greg, It indeed might be any of those things. Grinding your teeth is however a sign of (subconscious) stress. The insidious side of this...

Thanks Rick, I will surely do so! I hope you will make good progress as well.

Hello Michelle G, This will be a long one, even though I will try to be as summarised as possible... I understand your concerns, but it is very...

Yes, I tend to feel more energised in the darker hours. I find the night inspires creativity, so to speak. I have always been like that. Sad to...

Hello Greg, I must honestly say this is in the realm of speculation, as I believe there has been no solid research on the possibility of...

Hello Houstontx, I'm sorry for the late reply. Looking at your audiogram I can see the "classical" noise notch which signifies noise-induced...

That is interesting. Considering sound input at certain frequencies is usually bilateral, the phenomenon described as "reactive tinnitus" might...

I love it when every once in a while someone comes around who churns up some positive and cheerful messages from quite some time ago. After all,...

It is about the difference between two ears. There must not be a difference of more than 15dB between the right and left ear, as that would make...

I've indeed considered other causes to my tinnitus, but the appearance of all these symptoms a week after my acoustic exposure seems to make a...

I think you're confusing frequency range and amount of hearing loss. You can have "moderate" hearing loss in any frequency from 20Hz to 20kHz. A...

Both dexamethasone and prednisone are corticosteroids. The advantage of dexamethasone is that it's a short-acting corticosteroid, making the...

Personally I think we need a much larger sample group to draw anything close to a useable indication on this. It would be good if a, preferably...

Hello Rick! Well, it is still the usual pattern; some days it is barely noticeable (almost silent, yet still there), other days it is very...

Although it is hard to say if it will disappear or not (Tinnitus is very unpredictable, as you might have noticed), it is definitely a good sign...

Compared to the ear on the right, which experiences no fullness at all; yes I do.

Yes, I can modulate my Tinnitus by moving the jaw. In my case it gets more noticeable when I do so. This only happens on the side of the seemingly...

Same here, I have fullness for over a year now since my last acoustic trauma. It never went away. It also feels like there is some muscle...

Yes, I did. I do now and I did during my first episode. However, I also had these before my first episode when I didn't have any Tinnitus yet. I...

I am indeed having this for a second time. Unfortunately, I have to say I have not seen much improvement so far for myself (symptom-wise). I will...

Very good question. As far as I am informed at this point, Frequency's method aims to trigger the same natural cascade of events which happened...

Well, the approach is different, and may I say more "promising" in this one. Unlike the Genvec method, the Frequency method tries to trigger and...

Can I know on what source you base your 50+ years expectation? Of course, the very first treatments will not be the most effective ones, but to...

Hence it being an obstacle. Every journey however, begins with a first step. Seeing the recent developments in quantum technology, this can...

Your wishes might just be granted. It is being worked on as we speak....

How did you reliably exclude you do not have hearing loss? It simply cannot be said, as there can be damage we cannot measure yet with any...

My thinking is there is not much difference. But the total silence you experience with good earplugs is kind of rare without them; these days...

Yes, but isn't the point here that the hearing loss, in this case conductive, gave rise to the neurons changing their signaling? And aren't...

Yes, I think this is common, also with persons without the constantly noticeable Tinnitus. I think almost everyone has some degree of hearing loss...

I'm afraid this can only be seriously resolved by restoring the input to the auditory nerve, which in turn reduces the activity of the other...

Just want to chime in here and say "yes, me too". When I turn my head to the extreme right (contralateral side) it will cause a sharp "ZING" kind...

Every once in a while these comparative threads pop up where people try to feel better about having Tinnitus when comparing it to other...

Marie, I hope it ceased permanently for you! I know it can, it happened to me once before. Happy birthday! Let's hope this might be the best...

Bill, It saddens me to hear this. The symptoms you describe look similar to those of trigeminal neuralgia, which can cause all kinds of...

Agreed. As much as I regret Trump being in office now, it's a result of their democratic process and we should respect that. I am getting a little...

It's funny, yet kind of annoying, that everything I open lately is about Trump's travel ban. I expected to read something new about human hearing,...

Yeah, well, this wasn't exactly my point. My point was the exact question if the brain played a role in the generation and/or perpetuation of...

I am certainly planning to do so. One has to wait a good amount of time before one is able to see a neurologist here, so I should make my visit...

The delay you refer to is thought to be due to oxidative stress caused by the (noise) overexposure. The overexposure causes stress and cell...

Totally glanced over that, thanks.

It seems I have some reading to do tonight. I am excited. Thanks @Aaron123. Some additional (and related) reading:...

From what I understand and shortly summarized; the latest theories (by Liberman) seem to imply that it are the actual connections between the...

While this sounds optimistic, I have seen more of such articles on The Mirror dating back years. It's written in a "clickbaity" kind of way. What...
