Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, often accompanies hearing loss, and usually has no treatment. Now, doctors are targeting the dorsal cochlear nucleus in the brain stem with sounds and vibrations to offer some relief.

@kittykennedyks

As a person suffering from tinnitus it is very depressing to feel that others don't understand the impact it causes on the affected person. This video gives me a glimpse of hope. 😄

@angelitabecerra

As someone who suffers from Tinnitus, I can tell you it's rough

@artmei1354

"Which...technically correct, but that still makes you a jerk." Trusted scientific information are what I'm always here for watching scishow.

@AMVH2012

Distressing, more annoying and I wish it would stop. My tinnitus never causes me distress. It can be irritating and on rare occasions be so loud that I have trouble making out what people are saying. It's annoying when it keeps me up but I ignore it and fall asleep. I guess it doesn't bother me as much because I grew up with it.

@simongross3122

If 10% of people experience tinnitus, you'd expect 10% of doctors and audiologists should too. Very surprising that it's taken so long to make progress.

@oasntet

Am I the only one wondering how to know when a guinea pig has tinnitus?

@not-a-boar3148

What really trips me out is this isn't considered a debilitating disease even though it literally takes my ability to concentrate away. I used to do complex 6 step math in my head but as the years went on I can no longer concentrate that long before the ringing takes over.

@Palestinian.person

Free Palestine u'll,, God protect Gaza and its children🙏🙏❤️‍🩹🇵🇸

@MJbramham90

Had tinnitus in my right ear for three years. Fortunately my tinnitus isn't as loud as some people's but its still annoying from time to time when I notice it, usually at night when in bed. Hopefully, thanks to treatments like this, I might one day hear silence again.

@itsirkeel

To all of my fellow tinnitus sufferers--- look! We're not alone! Even though having an ongoing sparking din that truly nobody who isn't me can hear is not awesome, I'm grateful we know it is a condition. Hoping for more ways to tune it down! For now, I've creatively used the experience of tinnitus in my story writing.

@choo_choo_

I've had it my entire life to the point that I thought that the ringing was something EVERYONE had and that it was the ears functioning "normally".

@caspenbee

Mine is genetic -- as a kid, I decided the strange noises I sometimes heard that no one else did were pulses of magic energy! I think that really helped me have a positive association instead of the anxiety many people feel about their tinnitis. To this day when I get a wave of it, it makes me smile.

@billyfugate4823

I've had tinnitus my entire life as far back as I can remember. Being 3 years old sitting quietly in a silent room wondering what the sound was. In a way I feel like that has made me very fortunate because it is something that has just been normal for me. Watching people I know who have developed tinnitus later in life and how drastically worse they are able to cope with it really made me understand just how disruptive this condition can be. I hope this research sees great success and even greater success in public availability.

@jodimeadows

Big thank you for NOT adding the ringing sounds as a demonstration.

@ibarzabal

I always had tinnitus, but for most of my life it was very mild, I could only "hear" it when in complete silence, so until a couple of years I always thought it was the "sound of silence"

@DJRaffa1000

I've only ever experienced the short-lived (few minutes long) "tinnitus" that comes from circulatory problems (the ones that randomly come out of nowhere and usually go away within a couple of minutes)

@melodyszadkowski5256

I have dealt with tinnitus for over 30 years. It is maddening at times and fluctuates from barely there to high-pitched shrieking. I am taking this episode to my doctor at the VA hospital and see if they have caught on to this research. It's such a lovely rush to find out that at least progress is being made. Part of me just wants to know what triggers it (nerd alert) and the rest just wants to leave me in peace. Thanks muchly for this one.

@ecurps1

The fact they rotated testers with treatments is awesome to me. I know that isn't feasible for a lot of studies, but it feels like a step in good direction to help test and learn about these types of procedures.

@vvvvvvvvvwv

Someone taught me this trick and it’s been the only thing that gives me temporary relief from the ringing. Cover your ears with your palms firmly and tap on the back of your head with your fingers for 10 seconds or so.
