Excellent news. One more discovery on the way to a cure/treatment. Keep them coming.

 

Hopefully this opening door doesnt lead to a room of a million more doors.

 

Even if it does, it's one more door we can also close behind us.

 

Thank you for posting that! When you start learning where we are in medicine with hearing loss and tinnitus, it really is exciting! I think we are on the cusp of some great advancements!!!

 

unless these discoveries start following the law of diminishing returns.

 

I hear what you are saying, but i don't believe that will happen. I think it will push us forward and not backwards because now it gets too confusing. Or did i misread what you said?
