The Current Year Is 2018

It's already very common, but it's gonna become even more common. I know I shouldn't think this, but I'm slightly glad that this is a trend. because more people with tinnitus = more demand for a treatment. More demand = more research spent on finding one (hopefully).

 

I think tinnitus also used to be seen as an ailment of the elderly (since it’s more common as we age and have hearing loss). I think there will be a greater push to cure it with it now becoming increasingly common in younger generations.

 

There also needs to be a layer of disability that comes with the increase in incidence. Watch the profile rise when it becomes a visible, and rising cost to the Public purse.

 

After reading much about tinnitus what I know:

- There is no other ilness that is as complex as tinnitus is that has a cure right now.

- Reading posts of 2013 people were very optimistic they would find a cure in 2 years, what they found since then is that tinnitus is much more complex than they previsously though so that optimism turned into nothing...

I would not expect a cure in less than 20 years.

 

Well then I assume you could use a different form of upvote. Quality posts in research threads generally get an informative or helpful mark.

 

are we just all fallen angels

 

I also advise all patients with serious tinnitus to read this publication and compare it with the procedures they have experienced.
