      I'm sure that tinnitus is an aberrant overactivity in the brain....not related to hearing....

      I know a lot of people with profound hearing los... Someone is also work in nightclub because they are DJ....and they don't know what is tinnitus....

      I would live another time to see finally the tinnitus treated such sa a neurological disease and not a SIMPLE SYMPTOM....of hearing problem....

      apparently this is a cheap simple way now for the brain neurons to be seen in action.......hopefully coming our way soon! Once they can see what is going on in 3D detail, maybe be able to direct the meds to where they need to go instead of scatter gun approach.

      Oh yah, this will make a tremendous difference. Being able to see individual neurons lets them map out *exactly* how the system operates.

      Not sure, think maybe is because my apartment is near a busy lane.
      This is awesome. But i wonder how many years it will take for them to really utilize this to find a cure to the ringing in my ears
