Severe tinnitus is increasingly understood as a condition of the brain, with hearing damage as the trigger.
In a 2015 study in Current Biology, researchers recorded directly from the cortex of a patient with tinnitus. Tinnitus loudness tracked slow oscillations that extended across almost all of the auditory cortex and into temporal, parietal, sensorimotor and limbic regions.
The evidence comes from a single patient, but it points to a distributed network. A therapy aimed at the underlying mechanism has to act on the cortex.
@NeurosoftBioโs SOFT TINNIT aims to restore normal connectivity between the brain regions involved in tinnitus.

From Taipei to Xiamen via Fribourg, Western Switzerland startups are winning awards and opening new business perspectives in fields such as chip-to-chip connectivity technologies, brain-computer interfaces (BCI), and reducing energy consumption in buildings without the need for renovations.
Congrats to Kandou AI, Neurosoft Bioelectronics and Yord! You rock! ๐๐
Have a nice day and take care
Electrical stimulation of the auditory cortex for tinnitus has clinical precedent.
In a series of 43 implanted patients reported in the Journal of Neurosurgery (2011), the average reduction in tinnitus was 53 percent. Results were strongest for pure-tone tinnitus, at 71 percent, and one third of patients saw no benefit.
The authors concluded that better understanding of the mechanisms, new stimulation designs and other targets were needed. That is the gap a new generation of cortical interfaces aims to close.
@NeurosoftBio is targeting what it describes as a plausible root cause of tinnitus, where current treatments fall short.

A large share of the auditory cortex lies within the Sylvian fissure, a deep fold of the brain that conventional rigid grids cannot reach safely.
In a study published in Advanced Science (2021), soft thin-film grids were folded into this region in human cadaver models. The same grids produced imaging artefacts of less than one millimetre in a clinical 3T MRI scanner, with no harmful heating.
For tinnitus, surgical access to the target is a central constraint, and it is one that electrode materials can address.
@NeurosoftBioโs soft electrode is designed to reach the specific brain regions involved in tinnitus directly.

An estimated 120 million people worldwide live with severe tinnitus, according to a 2022 meta-analysis in JAMA Neurology.
No drug is approved to treat it, and no curative therapy exists. The only treatment specifically recommended in clinical guidelines is cognitive behavioral therapy, which addresses the distress tinnitus causes.
A Cochrane review found its benefit to be modest, with no evidence of durability beyond six months. For a condition of this scale, that remains a substantial unmet medical need.
@NeurosoftBio is building the 1st Brain-Computer Interface to address Severe Tinnitus.
