Possible Tinnitus Treatment Developed!

| Researchers Dr. Michael Kilgard and Dr. Navzer Engineer from The University of Texas at Dallas and University-affiliated biotechnology firm MicroTransponder report that stimulation of the vagus nerve paired with sounds eliminated tinnitus in rats. A clinical trial in humans is due to begin in the next few months. |
word!
Fuck yeah, let the abuse begin (continue)!
I always wondered why they cancelled Titus...good to see it back.
I could use some of this treatment. I need to have a fan running at night to fall asleep properly.

my question is, tinnitus is just the realization that your ears got exhausted so... eliminating tinnitus means that your ear is "repaired"? I don't think so, this is a bit useless, this last for a night or maybe 2, not a real illness.

i probably didn't express my self appropiately, i was refering to the noise you hear after listening for loud and distorted sounds for a long time (This usually last for a relatively close amount of time) . Not the tinnitus caused by water in the ear or a virus etc... people who suffer this constantly obviously are waiting eagerly for a cure, i experienced this for some months but hopefully it disappeared.
In fact probably you don't understand what tinnitus is in this case, we have very sensitive cells in our ear, when this cells are exhausted their way to express that they're working too much and being damaged is this particular noise, they'd express this as pain but there are no nerves attached to them.
The side effects of hearing tinittus is a degradation of the sound you listen, mostly you lose the ability to perceive high pitched sounds, age is the most important factor but little things that aren't very obvious also case damage to you (I think this is widely known but someone may find it interesting so i will point out some daily routines that damage your ear)
-Using headphones (loud volume)
-Driving with your window down at high speed
-Crowded streets, packed with cars and specially in maintenance with drills etc...
-Pop Music
the sound you hear after going to a club is the death of the little hairs in your ears. its their scream.
tinnitus is permanent tho. i have it. the treatment is not what it seems. these kind of treatments usually damage the nervous system and create problems elsewhere. they developed them for people with chronic pain, and sometimes they fail seriously (the chance for this to happen is pretty high). there is stress in the article on creating a minimally invasive procedure. why? because there are always unintended effects in invasive treatments to do with nerves. They don't tell you, but sometimes, with treatments for chronic pain, the symptoms become worse.
Why do you suffer from it? Music-related at all???
It's the last thing I want. That old question, would you rather be deaf, or would you rather be blind? As a passionate music lover, like the rest of us, I'd rather the latter! I DJ'd for a few years and I regularly have my iPod on full blast (I like listening to music that way) but recent studies have shown that with all the young ones listening to music at a dangerous level in their earphones, most of us will have hearing problems in later life. The only thing I have at the moment, whatever that is, is the hearing in my right ear is much more dim than the left. If I put one earphone in my right ear, it's rather faint. When it's in the left, there's a lot more depth and it seems much louder! Is this a warning!??!
meh. People get all kinds of medical problems when they get older. If you abuse your sense of hearing, it's bound to have some kind of repercussions later on. Prevention is better than cure.
I have tinnitus and I love it. I'm abviously joking. After I come in the morning after a club, my tinnitus is worse than ever.
Anyways. People here with tinnitus try this, in a quiet room, like right now.
Put your palms on your ears in such a way that your fingers are at the back of your head. Then connect the two middle fingers by touching their tips with one another. After that cross the index fingers on the middle fingers and begin hitting your head by sliding your index fingers from your middle fingers. It should sound "drum like" and do this while covering your ears for few seconds. Then release.
Feel the silence of no tinnitus for few seconds.
This is masking the tinnitus sound.

Don't worry, Rodri never knows what the fuck he's talking about. I used to feel bad for him, because it's obvious his English is pretty damn bad, but then I noticed that he's just a fucking moron.
