Looks like there's good news for damaged ears/hearing.

Scientists hope that they have made a major breakthrough in curing the hearing condition of tinnitus. The condition is linked to exposure to loud music on headphones and at gigs. Researchers at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit say that they have isolated the part of the brain which is affected by tinnitus. Dr Michael Seidman said that, now they have found the damaged area, they hope to focus a cure on it. Up until now it has always been thought the condition was caused by the ear. Tinnitus is a condition where sounds are heard in one or both ears when there is no external source. While doctors had thought tinnitus was generated by ear problems, they now believe it is generated in the brain. The team at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit used a special scanner to map the locations in the brain. They hope it will allow more targeted therapies to be developed. The scan is called magnetoencephalography (MEG) and it measures the very small magnetic fields generated by intracellular electrical currents in the neuron cells in the brain.The team at the Henry Ford Hospital have already tried using chips which generate electrical noise directly in the brain in two patients to try to interfere with the tinnitus signals. They are presenting their findings to the annual meeting of the American Academy of Otolaryngology.

Thank god!! I've had a permanent ringing in my ears for years

I only hear the ringing when I pay attention to it, someone reminds me, or read a thread about it.

For about the last three years I've had ringing in my ears. Its not too bad if I don't think about it but when I do it annoys the hell out of me.

Great news. Go Detroit too! lol I just went to the Henry Ford Museum a lil while ago.

I know multiple ppl with tinnitus (incl. my dad - though he wasn't a raver! haha). Ever since a few people I knew got it a few years back I've been super paranoid about my hearing (especially since my eyes are already so bad). I won't go out without my ER-20s.
