At least tinnitus is a research topic in several places

 

This is nothing but "habituation" research nothing to do with reducing tinnitus just ignoring it.
It will not bring us closer to treatment of actually reducing tinnitus, just rebranded TRT and Levo system

Into the trash it goes. We have to shoot down cancer before it can grow

@threefirefour

Research should be about actually reducing the volume of tinnitus, not studying how to disconnect emotional areas of the brain from detecting audiotory stimuli. That is extremely counter productive.

Tinnitus isn't useless information that can be ignored, it's a abnormality of the audiotory brain that causes suffering and grief to a lot of people and even suicides, and the ultimate goal is to reduce the volume by treating the direct cause of the problem, striking at the roots of what is causing tinnitus. Not find fancy ways to ignore it. It is my strongly held belief that it is a a complete waste of time to research habituation and limbic system desisitazation to noise when they could be finding ways to actually reduce the tinnitus volume through signal timing, nervous system and brain stimulation, hearing restoration, epilepsy drugs ect.

If the there is ever going to be cure we are going to need to get smarter not submissive towards the problem.

Yes! How?? ;(;(

 

@Contrast - the very moment research actually reduces somebody’s Tinnitus volume could you wake me up please - I’ll be real interested in that.
It hasn’t happened yet, has it.....??

 

@threefirefour - can research into reducing Tinnitus volume levels claim any success at all at this present time?

Is it still ‘pie in the sky?’

Is it remotely possible that therapeutic treatments could have been instrumental in helping some sufferers to cope?

 

Yeah but have you ever just considered ignoring it? Ignoring it is as good as a cure dude lmao

That will be $10,000

 

@Jazzer yes, interim therapies before a cure is found are very important. But to me it's a question of allocation of resources and funds. It seems like habituation therapies (e.g. TRT, Levo) are trumpeted as great solutions to tinnitus, and obtain the lion's share of research attention and funding, while research towards actual volume reduction comes out significantly marginalized. If the medical community is largely satisfied with - and invested in - habituation therapies, progress towards a real cure is significantly stymied.
Just my two cents. Take care friend @Jazzer

 

@Manny

Thank you.
Yes I understand.

While I agree that the focus needs to be on a cure, if someone can regain their life with habituation then that is a good thing. It's better than sitting around focusing on their tinnitus and waiting for the cure.

 

never said it was a problem for someone to self habituate, but when research goes towards habituation there's a problem.

 

Tell me there's a cure around and it costs 30000€. I'll consider habituation then.
Meanwhile I'll still craving for a treatment/cure.

 

Right. There is enough research in "get used to it". No amount of money is going to improve that. I totally agree. I honestly feel like I'd be more likely to figure out the cure if there is one than waiting on big pharma. The question becomes how do you fix a microphone that's inside your head?

 

Yes! Enough of this bandaid crap!
We need treatment!
