Lauer Tinnitus Research Center Opens at Mass Eye & Ear

Some news from the locals.

http://www.masseyeandear.org/resear...s/laboratories/lauer-tinnitus-research-center

There is also a Tinnitus Information Seminar happening at Mass. Eye and Ear, Meltzer Auditorium, 3rd Floor on November 16th (a Wednesday) from 7:00pm-9:00pm. If it's Mass Eye & Ear there should be good information.

 

Good news, I believe these people have potential to help us.

 

When?

 

Who are the Lauer family?
Philanthropists?
I read something on the internet about Matt Lauer?

 

They are philanthropists. No relation to Matt Lauer that I am aware of.

 

This is a community event that will be held on Nov. 16 from 7-9PM

 

Thanks for alerting people to this event. Hope to see you there.

 

Yep, I'm signed up. Looking forward to seeing what's going on.

 

I would like to thank them, but I do not have a Face book account.

 

I am glad to hear that more research centers are being open up. Hopefully we are getting closer to a cure in the near future i.e within 10 years.

 

I'm going to be going to the Tinnitus Information Seminar tonight @ 7pm. I'll update you all with any new information I get from it.

 

Really hoping things will gain momentum in this field. I know it's unhealthy for my current mental state to revolve around 'when will they find a cure' but ugh

 

IF THEY DONT QUIT PLAYING AROUND AND HURRY UP, HONESTLY CAN WE JUST SKIP ALL THE CHARADES AND GET TO WORK. JESUS. IT EITHER WORKS OR IT DOESNT, IF IT DOESNT THEN TRY AGAIN JESUS.

im really considering quitting everything to become an ent doctor or a scientist. i know its hard work but i feel they heart is just not in it

 

Good luck with that. Based on your writings it would be a miracle if you made it into med school. Maybe being a truck driver is more your thing... no offense...

 

oh HAHA hilarious.....

you would think a person with tinnitus since the 90s would sympathize and feel his fairly new tinnitus brethren on this, i mean come on, but what ever i guess

But like i was saying man i wonder if their hearts are truly in it. i mean yeah they wanna help but would their cause be greater if they themselves were afflicted with it. i simply ask this based off all the ENTS i met.

 

Hey bro ask them if theres anything AND I MEAN ANYTHING WE THE PEOPLE CAN DO, WHETER ITS TO HELP FUNDING, PROMOTE AWARENESS, MEDIA, ETC ETC.

bro im serious i tried my best to hide/ ignore this crap but now it has become my obsession. we need a cure pronto
life is too short as it is, and this aint living. So again man ask them if theres anything we the people can do to help them.

 

I'm in the auditorium on the right side. If you're here and want to say hi I'll be around after for a bit before I head out.

 

Please be kind to update us on anything interesting being discussed during this seminar. I'm unfortunately overseas, else I would have attended myself. Is there anything new? Or has it been mainly about the good old story of "managing techniques for Tinnitus"?

 

A lot of it was about managing tinnitus.

However, there pretty good information this time around that I had not known. Apparently interventions such as acupuncture, physical therapy, TMJ correct, rTMS, and other techniques do legitimately help a lot of people. I actually met a few people who successfully treated their tinnitus there, although most people there still had it of course.

I'm going to try a few other avenues that I was skeptical about just to see if there's any change on my part.

 

None of that was mentioned at the London one, good to know!

 

well BTA is a joke so no surprise their event sucked...

 

I emailed ME&E on the latest clinical trials and this is the feedback I got.
They just recently had a seminar in Boston the video links below are the actually seminars

They received an additional 20M$ for more research on hearing loss (and I hope tinnitus also).

Is this anonymous gift from a TT member ?

 

I just recieved an email from Stephane Maison from Mass. Eye and Ear, one of the founders of Lauer Tinnitus Research Center with regards to testing diagnostics of hidden hearing loss & cochlear synaptopathy:
" The Federal Government will fund our grant proposal. We received notice last week that our NIH grant has been funded. I’m working with a software engineer to get our protocol ready. I can not wait to start but I have to make sure that everything is in place before recruiting. I can not predict when it will be but hopefully next month….."
So it seems diagnostics of cochlear synaptopathy is on a way and will be tested soon.

 

@Champ
I've well aware of Massachusetts Eye and Ear. I once lived just outside of Boston and knew many friends and some relatives that went there. I also worked for both very large medical corporations and medical government agencies. I agree with you. In my opinion it's best to have a complete 3D CT scan that will image your entire head - ears, mouth, jaws and nerves, forehead and neck included. I would do this with a private 3D imaging center. Then as you said, you will know what therapy may help.

If one has a sudden noise trauma then getting drugs such as prednisone from the Mass Eye and Ear is wise. Or it you have an infection I would seek treatment from them.

 

Big news !

 

Hopefully yes. In the article it says:

"The gift will allow Mass. Eye and Ear to provide long-term sustained research support in the areas of hearing and balance, seed new Chairs for faculty and enable recruitment of additional world-leading hearing researchers. Scientists at the Eaton-Peabody Laboratories are focused on understanding hearing from the outer ear to the brain, with the goal of pursuing new treatment strategies for hearing loss and other hearing impairments such as tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hyperacusis (painful hearing sensitivity), as well as balance disorders."

 

I would have if I could have.
But very good news indeed.
