TINNITUS RING LIST..................
oh WOW thanks!!
Yes. But will it allow you to hear the Fembots before they sneak up on you:

Fascinating. Thanks for the ping!
Of course, I’ll be moldering in the grave by the time this stuff is mainstreamed, not that socialized healthcare would ever approve it.
Hello, hello?
Is that the phone ringing, or my ears?
Thanks for the ping!
>> successfully regrowing auditory nerves
Positive implications for other issues? Peripheral neuropathology?
I'm 56 so this technology likely won't be approved and affordable in my lifetime to help me out much. But my grandson may benefit from it.
The really weird thing about my tinnitis is that at times I suddenly realize it has stopped. Other times when the weather is unstable it is REALLY loud. I have had it for over 35 years
ONe thing I’ve noticed is If I press on the roof of
my mouth with a thumb or tongue I can stop the ringing
while I keep pressure on. It comes back as soon as
I stop but who knows, maybe there is a cure there some
where.
Jet engines, explosions, hammer forging, industrial
noise, I guess, only started about 5 years ago.
Some times I don’t notice it that much but sometimes
it’s LOUD.
The weather is changing the pressure in the tubes. Weather changes get to my condition real fast. I've noticed with the tinnitus what frequency ranges I don't hear ringing anymore I also have severe hearing loss.
>> Peripheral neuropathology
Peripheral neuropathy.
I expect clinical trials to be very rapid and productive.
If it in fact works, then the huge number of people who need this will be hard to re$i$t.................
Sounds like you have blockages in your Eustachian tubes. Have your doctor check this out. All you may need is some stints..............
I was just reading about Acoustic Coordinated Reset Neuromodulation which seems to be helping people in England such as this guy....
But that’s England and they don’t have it here in US but I found this one website that tries to replicate that system and I have to say it seems to be helping me, and I have very severe tinnitus to the point where it keeps me awake like it did that guy and I been using this website all day and I can tell it is helping. I think what it does it activate those cilia hairs next to the damaged ones and for some reason blots it out. I’m going to do this everyday for the next month and see what happens.

Oh yes and another thing which is really weird, for some reason it makes the inside of my ear “twitch”, I can feel it like something is jumping which has never happened before.
