I feel like it destroys it piece by piece, like it destroys the senses (hearing, seeing, balance issues). When I had no tinnitus I had no eye floaters, no insomnia, my memory was sharp, etc. Now I feel like I am slow and I have eye floaters/visual snow, etc.

 

Another thing that scares me is that we might not have a cure. If we repair the hair cells how can we be sure that Tinnitus will stop? I think tinnitus is actually brain damage in the auditory part. I want them to do an MRI of my head in 10-20 years and then compare it to my MRI when I had mild t....I am sure there will be something "off", like with grey matter.

 

I am confident based on many experiment with cochlear implants that atleast some people and most likely the majority will get reduction of tinnitus from hair cell regeneration. There probably will be few exceptions though.

 

Well I have a hypothesis that fixing the actual anomalous areas of the brain will not just fix tinnitus but the other symptoms like Visual Snow and depersionalization. For instance, one of the biggest areas involved in VS is tihe Thalamus. Overactivity in the Thalamus can lead to VS. In tinnitus, one of the big areas is the Subthalamic Nucleus, that leaks into the thalamus. So correcting hyperactivity in the DCN and Subthalamic Nucleus will most likely reduce/eliminate tinnitus, visual snow, and other related issues with the brain.

 

If I understand correctly tinnitus starts out in the DCN and then centralizes in the auditory cortex before spreading to regions of the brain related like neck/jaw muscles and eyesite then picking a random wild card and going wherever the hell it wants making it like randomized cancer, is this correct @threefirefour

 

I AM FINE WITH REDUCTION. Just make it mild pleaseee and please get rid of dark eye floaters they are all over my vision. I see them on any white surface.

Nice! Its also nice to know that I have a brain disease as all of us do. Cool now I can show off to my friends so they can pity me and buy me food/drinks.

 

This is correct. But signals still come out of the DCN. By reducing those signals the tinnitus still reduces. I haven't done too much research on brain centralization but I have to wonder what the relationship between fixing the DCN and reducing tinnitus is. Even long after centralization, why does reducing DCN activity reduce tinnitus if they're seemingly no longer related?

I think you can do something about floaters right now if you wanted. I forget the name but there's a surgery that drains the eye fluid and replaces it with transparent fluid. It gets rid of floaters but has some side effects.

I wonder what it is about tinnitus and giving black floaters. I assume it's making floaters black instead of creating them. Eye floaters are a physical phenomenon.

 

Yeahhh you got it! It makes them black...crazyyyy

 

that would make floaters a physical problem, not a neurological one.

btw all my life I noticed transparent tiny floaters in really bright light

 

Yeah me too. I have two black floaters I see rarely but for me it's the very faint visual field of static that sucks. The rare moments I dont have tinnitus the field goes as well.

 

You guys here is the thing. I dont have tinnitus on my R ear anymore (it was mild) but it disappeared, just severe H.
NOW Severe T is on my left ear, and guess where the damn floaters are all in (THE LEFT EYE), no dark eye floaters in right eye, just a small floater there, but the left eye (left ear severe tinnitus) has so many floaters, most of them dark....either I damaged the eye somehow or maybe there is a link.

 

Visual SNow?

 

That's really interesting. This helps establish the case for there being a link. I'm 95% sure there is, but for some reason the medical community seems to not care about researching this.

Yeah. I read somewhere that 61% of tinnitus sufferers have VS.

 

i don't other then the only bright light super mild VS i had all my life

 

You're part of the 39% that's lucky.

 

Yeah, either I damaged my left eye somehow and got floaters or there is a link between Severe T and the floaters. I have a feeling that its the tinnitus. I am not suprised really because tinnitus messes up the brain.

 

You're right it probably is. At least it can be treated with current technology but it still sucks.

 

Oh well..

 

I will not tolerate lewd images on my good christian post sir.

 

If god exsisted why would he make humans prone to TInnitus?

 

ask him.

 

What kind of cruel god would do this to people?
I am an atheist because of T and H.

 

Dog Sings To Harmonica!

 

No thanks.

 

Why do people always assume that a god is

1. benevolent by default
2. something that must go out of its way to make your life as carefree as possible

The existence of suffering doesn't make it more or less likely that they exist.

You could make the argument that a god is much more likely to be indifferent to your sufferings than the other way around. After all, you don't really give a damn about all the bugs you unknowingly squish while you walk around, nor do you constantly stop by their little nests to deliver them food and make sure they're all happy and healthy. The same is likely true between gods and humans, only much more extreme.
