- mrandish 7y agoSure, but that seems a little harsh in this case as the OP is essentially 'open sourcing' the observation because he's moving on from his Phd. There's no product on offer or apparent benefit to the author.

- falcolas 7y ago> It is hoped that this information generates further research by others within the field of hearing / vestibular dysfunction. I have finished the research for my PhD, this however I feel should be continued with active tinnitus researchers (over to you). I, in contrast, think this is perfectly reasonable. The title promises nothing, the article describes the methodology in detail, and they give it over to others to study since they can't.
- gowld 7y agoThe article is fine as is. Posting it on HN is a distraction.
