New Tinnitus study and possible treatment (via Science Daily)

@hilde45

Great news, sounds very promising.  Thanks for sharing.

Yes, thanks for the find...

The next question is...does it reduce tinnitus and create a greater clean dynamics in the hearing system ie a better noise floor than with the tinnitus.

Or, does it disable the hairs of the ears or disable the neurological aspects so that the tinnitus is reduced in that way? ,eg, that the given offending hairs (cilia) of the ears are turned off, muted, or killed off?

The quick understanding of the source of tinnitus, is that the cilia or hairs in the inner ear, some of them are damaged and are fallen down and some are in a permanent state of agitation, ie ’vibrating.’

In other words, is it ’hearing restoration’, or is it ’issue abatement’? Is the offending limb fixed and restored to orignal full function, or is the offending limb simply removed?

That would be the big question, here: What is the mechanism in play. 

If it is simply the cessitation of fallen cilia, re vibrating, and they finally sit still, then that alone is ’tinnitus relief’ and may play into the impression or human interpretation of better hearing. To kill off an incessant noise, like a loud fridge running al the time. Maybe. Dunno, not dealing with much more than the usual age and blood pressure stimulated (coffee, etc) source points of tinnitus, myself.

Excellent questions -- perhaps something in the scientist's video about the mechanisms involved: https://www.neuromoddevices.com/company/technology

I'm pretty sure mine is from listening to music too loud while teen to 30s or so.
