Phendran

Debilitating tinnitus since 2016. Trying to raise awareness of the ailment and ongoing research, in the hopes that a cure will be developed as soon as possible.

'Therapy for tinnitus should involve the restoration of the afferent and efferent signals.'

[Phendran @phendran]

@DrJesseMorse We used to have a guy in my Tinnitus group that went through with this kind of treatment(administered by Minbo Shim himself actually), and said it worked well enough.

However, it was costly, and required many many injections through the ear drum(s) over more than a week's time.

Help raise $20 for Tinnitus Quest at no cost to you.
If you have chronic tinnitus, please complete this 20–30 min anonymous survey from Neurosoft Bioelectronics. Tinnitus Quest receives $20 per completed response (first 300).

"Results showed significant differences in hearing and VEMP parameters, and hydrops severity correlated with disease duration and functional impairment. This work advances otology research by verifying the heterogeneity of Meniere’s disease." https://t.co/ZXk1JObQul #menieres

Tinnitus Quest - Hackathon 2025. What are the knowns and unknowns?

Nudge is also recruiting for trials in tinnitus and chronic pain if you or someone you know wants to contribute to research and get bragging rights as an early experiencer of TUS https://t.co/IPgpdlxJuV

We awarded our first research grant for a study from Oxford University testing Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS) on deep brain regions to silence tinnitus. https://t.co/S9brxgbdLY

@Higgsy74 I see. Thanks!

“It’s as if [geckos] have two parallel pathways for sending vibration and auditory responses up the neuraxis,” Carr says. https://t.co/zI9M8kC4OM #geckos @UMDscience #keeplistening

@LineGutter I've only tried one variety, but I think you could achieve similar taste and texture(s) by getting a regular milk chocolate bar and smearing on some(crunchy or non-crunchy) pistachio spread.

So, "good" but not necessarily worth its general asking price.

"We have seen how open conversations around mental health have transformed awareness, reduced stigma, and encouraged people to seek support.

What was once difficult to speak about is now widely understood and accepted. We need to achieve the same shift with tinnitus."

[Higgsy @Higgsy74]

Really important and really overlooked by research funding priorities. https://t.co/ZHawf119lU

A good article, although this part is nonsense ...

'There is still a widespread belief that nothing can be done for tinnitus.

This is not true.'

It is true

@NIHRresearch

Start funding it?

[Higgsy @Higgsy74]

Tinnitus and Hyperacusis patients have been neglected. Despite now entering 2026, many are left disabled & out of work. Let down by funding & toothless organisations who have delivered nothing. @TinnitusQuest & @HyperacusisCure have been founded by frustrated patient volunteers.

[Phendran @phendran]

@LineGutter I haven't played it, but I am glad you're having fun while also being reflective.

[Higgsy @Higgsy74]

Newsflash - Professor Susan Shore & Professor Josef Rauschecker have volunteered to join Tinnitus Quest
