Whew, I thought this was going to be about the results of Auris Medical's new tinnitus drug, AM-101. The results are due to come out within the next month or so. The drug is injected into the ear, so it wouldn't effect tinnitus that originates in the brain. I've had tinnitus for about 10 years now, and it sucks that doctors know so little about it. However, there seem to be a lot of companies popping up recently that are trying to attack the problem, so I'm excited. Another company, Otonomy, is also working on a tinnitus drug that's injected into the ear (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19847455 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19847455). It's an NMDA receptor antagonist (just like AM-101), so it doesn't seem like it would work for tinnitus that originates in the brain.
