Potential Tinnitus Treatment?

My bro sent me this.

New research could help millions who suffer from ‘ringing in the ears’

In the largest clinical trial of its kind, researchers show that combining sound and electrical stimulation of the tongue can significantly reduce tinnitus, commonly described as “ringing in the ears.” They also found that therapeutic effects can be sustained for up to 12 months post-treatment.

The article is in Science Translational Medicine (I believe). This could be good. I have heard of a clinical trial where they implanted a vagus nerve stimulator in your chest and then you followed the same kind of auditory stimulation while the vagus nerve was being stimulated but this gets there without surgery.

We should stay tuned.

Count me in. My ears have rang for at least two decades.

I'd be willing to try it. I have not heard complete silence since 1981.

I’ve been testing 9v batteries with my tongue for decades, but my ears still ring. Wtf.

You guys go first ....

I'd be willing to learn more. The Stones blew out my ears in1981 in Chicago. I have enjoyed the ringing ever since.

Tinnitus, my old friend. Somehow you make peace with it. I take lipo flavonoid daily. It seems to mitigate it somewhat for me.

And they'll charge $5000 for the procedure. And you'll pay your $3000 deductible. I'll keep my ringing thanks

 

[stonem]

I hope this works I'll do it as soon as its passed trials.
