The Intakt Project in Germany Is Developing Systems to Treat Tinnitus

So far, Fraunhofer researchers are aiming for three initial projects:

One of them being a tinnitus suppressor that uses electrical stimulation to mask the ringing sound and make it less intrusive.

Connected micro-implants could treat tinnitus and enable prosthetic movement

 

Could you find out how they want to place the chips? Can we ask if we can participate in the study? I am from Germany.

 

Amazing stuff but I can't help but think that Neuralink will be the dominant force in this area (including tinnitus) as the sheer amount of capital available to the company is practically unlimited.

It's great to see this tech moving forward. This is the cure. Everything else before it will be a treatment.

All imho of course

 

This sounds interesting. How long would it take to get this to market, in your opinion? If it's successfully marketed in the EU, I wonder how long the FDA would drag their feet on getting this approved in the States...

 

You’d prolly have a better chance of finding that out. I’m not German.

 

I agree. The one problem with Neuralink is the FDA and the weird hatred for Elon.

 

I am writing an email to them. What other questions can I ask?

 

How close are they to human clinical trials?

 

I found that this doctor is the contact person for tinnitus:

Prof. Dr. Klaus-Peter Hoffmann
Telefon 06897 / 9071-400
E-Mail: klaus-peter.hoffmann@ibmt.fraunhofer.de

 

Someone tried it?

 

I wrote an email to that person but haven’t received any feedback. I think he will not reply. Probably someone else could try as well?
