You mention your startle reflex was bad - can you describe what it was like? I can feel my eardrums fluttering to impulse noises constantly ever...

How long have you had your TTS?

I don't think what @GregCA is saying is that your high frequency exposure caused your tinnitus, rather the loudness of what you were listening to...

MIT (school in America) offers a ton of open courses for biology and the sciences - if you want to wet your whistle before committing, you could...

Hey Glenn, welcome to the forum! 19 years of tinnitus is quite a long time. I'm amazed! I hope I have the fortitude to carry on that long. T...

Hey Reece, I'm going to throw my 2 cents in here (with @maltese ) and say that while yes, we are always here for you, I believe you would benefit...

My tinnitus was all over the place for the first 4 weeks of getting it... If you have hearing loss though I would definitely go to the doctor...

Wow @Ed209 , thanks for the input! With the free version of Decibel 10th, you could only read using dbZ, which actually turns out to be about...

Just got a reading of the plane landing + jet brake, 98db for about 15 seconds, little loud!

I would also like to use my expertise to help find a cure for tinnitus, I don't know a lot of hearing companies hiring software engineers...

A 200 foot drop is nothing in atmospheric terms. The ear generally doesn't begin to notice pressure/start popping until a change of 500ft. People...

I used my iPhone (reliable within 4 db, A weighted) during takeoff on an Airbus 321 (6 person rows) on the 10th row (right by engine), highest it...

Hey @grecianmax87 , Really appreciate the update! Having your perspective on here really gives me hope, at least that I will be able to continue...

There are a couple of things we do know, and I agree with what you're saying @bill 112 One of the most important tenants of the scientific...

Interesting anecdote, but I recently went through a bout of acoustic trauma, an increase in tinnitus, and a retracted ear drum in my left ear....

There was a study done on mice that saw SGNs deteriorate after just a year, but in humans we see people who have been completely deaf and receive...

This is great perspective. If you want to really stretch it, tinnitus has made us all more aware of how delicate and important our ears are. Now...

Damn Danny Boy, I love how on top of all the research you are!

I also got a spike and the exact same diagnosis as you three weeks ago that you got in 2010. ETD then sinus infection... But I'm pretty positive...

It's actually thought that ototoxic damage may be "simpler" (using this word carefully, but since you're looking for hope) to rectify than...

You may have what is called a patulous Eustachian tube. Does everything sound like you have a bucket on your head? Definitely something to...

This is what I'm thinking too. @Ghostkitten666 As embarrassing as it might be, I would second talking to a doctor about this. The only really...

I've had this worry as well. I have an appointment with an ENT coming up Monday and I am specifically going to ask how to best manage...

Nathalie, You need to seek help. You are in a dangerous place right now but you need to understand that tinnitus does get better. If you are...

Hey SallyB, If you don't think your ENT is providing you the level of care that you need, I'd seek a second opinion or ask for a recommendation...

Tinnitus can be associated with any frequency, it is just more commonly attributed to higher level frequencies because those are usually the ones...

He said every 10 years, fwiw, ;)

There isn't a clinical consensus on the efficacy of steroids for NIHL, however, there is an oft cited study published in 2011 that shows results...

This is a good sign - it means things are moving!

Hey Nathalie, You are still well within the window of what is called "temporary threshold shift" with regards to hearing loss. What has happened...

This isn't entirely true. Tinnitus (it's more and more looking like) is a dysfunction in the peripheral nervous system / auditory cortex and has a...

Very cool find @Danny Boy ! More exploration into the way that NDMA receptors work is always inviting, as a reminder to others this is how...

It absolutely will! A part that I find particularly exciting is the $1.56 billion dollars being poured into mapping the human brain. This will...

Unfortunately it seems habituation with multi-pitched tinnitus is a much more difficult process than a single pitch. I have a ringing in my right...

Hey @MikeGreen You are still no where near having what is known as "chronic tinnitus". You are still in the acute phase and as such it's...

This is very interesting. Seems the paper was published over 20 years ago, wonder why there was no follow up?

Wonderful story @liquefact and I'm glad you came back to share with us. Hope you are still doing well, it's nice to see people find that there is...

All this links us to is pages and pages of the clinic's own blog posts... :(

That is wicked cool.

This is extremely hypocritical of you. We had a person come to this forum looking for help and support, explain their background and offer us...

This has been a takeaway for me as well. Having tinnitus really changes your outlook on life. Once you get past the fear and anxiety and realize...

Hey Allen, you are in the right place. We are all fighting the good fight and we are here with you. I have had T as long as I can remember, but...

Hey Betty, Two things can happen with tinnitus, either it will go away, or you will get used to it. No matter which way it goes it will only get...

Those don't seem to have the adequate applications with inner ear regeneration, but this is all speculative anyhow! Are you going to keep probing...

ANF refers to the auditory nerve fiber, the fiber on the base of the inner hair cell that connects to the spiral ganglion: [ATTACH] The paper in...

I think this is the red flag. Correct me if I'm wrong @Aaron123 but I do not believe growth factors alone would promote the actual regeneration of...

Hey @Artemis2K I'm currently connecting some dots here, and have done some reading about this technique that Dr. Sham is proposing. It looks to...

Hey @jdjd09, First, to answer your question, aside from a revolutionary breakthrough in regenerative medicine, we are not likely to see a "cure"...

I definitely would like to know more. Current models in the neurological field are taking a look at tinnitus being primarily a neurological...

https://www.change.org/p/we-need-a-cure-for-tinnitus Right here!

That's interesting. A growth factor delivered to the middle ear to promote inner ear hair cell regeneration? Is there any further reading/research...

I would be curious to see how Dr. Shim would respond to questions related to the methodology behind his technique. As of now it is understood...

Something I find helpful is taking the time to understand that none of us wanted this. Regret sets in because we have an understanding of what...

Thanks for the post @Capricornus , it's always nice to hear some success stories. Doesn't seem like there is enough of them to go around!

Thanks for the update! Count the blessing for all of us!

Just signed!

I have to agree here. We are seeing lots of traction in the private sector around hearing loss restoration/prevention. Even if it is slow moving,...

@Zeneth how are you doing now?

@Aaron123 Thank you for the very detailed post. In addition to Aaron's write-up, an article was published in the Korean Journal of Audiology last...
