Tinnitus Linked to Hidden Undetected Auditory Nerve Damage – A Step Towards a Cure
Curing tinnitus would sure be nice for a lot of people.

Well that'd be fucking dope
Seriously. I can’t imagine having to live with tinnitus
You get used to it and only really get reminded of it when it's brought up. Granted I'm sure for some people it's bad enough to always be at the forefront.
Heavily depends man. It's awful when it flares up for me. Just randomly having my hearing drop out on one side and then eeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yeah, I’m one of those latter people. When the tinnitus is so bad that it induces vertigo and nausea on a regular basis, among other things, it’s difficult to ignore.
edit: Once I went to get an MRI for it and they were really apologetic about how loud the banging in the machine was going to be, and I fell asleep twice because it was the first time something had covered up the ringing in a while.
Yeah for a buddy of mine it's as loud as someone speaking at full volume at all times. It's really bad.
My dad has it and just keeps noise in the background constantly so it's less noticeable.
There was a 16 or 17 year old guy on Reddit (at least I think it was Reddit) years ago--7 or 8 years ago--whose tinnitus was so loud and screechy that he could not sleep, could barely make out what people were saying when they talked to him, couldn't even enjoy music anymore.
He made a post about how he was seriously considering ending his life. I think about that kid all the time.
I have tinnitus, but it's quite mild and really hasn't had any effect on my life. But people like that young man, it steals their ability to interact with the world and they get more and more isolated.
A cure would be awesome.
