I wonder if this will treat hidden hearing loss at all.
I check all the boxes for tinnitus behavior (loud blasting music hours a day for years) but only have mild tinnitus at worst. I do however have hidden hearing loss, where I absolutely cannot understand what people are saying if there is too much ambient noise. Bars are hopeless situations for conversation, even a fan on in a room can make conversing difficult. It would be nice to revert this (and secretly go back to occasionally blasting music so loud your organs feel it).
- magnetic 5y agoAFAIK hidden hearing loss is due to synaptopathy (see Liberman's work). This work helps regrow hair cells, though. Does your Pure Tone Audiometry show any losses at all on your audiogram? It would be surprising that such an auditory insult had no damaging effect on your hair cells, so you may still benefit from this if it works.
