My tinnitus was definitely caused by the same nerve damage that caused my hearing loss. I'd be happy with improvement in either.
The article you linked mentions a potential treatment using neurotrophins (drugs) to regenerate the auditory nerve, but you mentioned some sort of surgery. Is that a different surgical approach being developed in tandem?
- PaulKeeble 2y agoIt was an injection of stem cells directly on the nerve. They found an appropriate surgical method to put them into the right place. The author of this study contacted me about it shortly after but I can't share the case study yet. There is a group working on it, likely many things it might not pan out and one surgery is not enough to get it approved but its certainly a start. There may be other cheaper ways too with general drugs that are cheaper if they can promote the recreation of the nerves.
