Obvious a very low level study, but as someone with tinnitus any progress in their area is exciting!

My wife has tinnitus and it's so strange to me that there's so little research into this topic and absolutely no answers or relief for people that suffer from it.

It’s a complex disease with many mechanisms and causes but it doesn’t really kill people. So hard work and little urgency.

It doesn’t directly kill people, but a cause of suicide due to the extremely high impact of Tinnitus on mental health

True, but nobody says xy died of tinnitus which is the deciding factor

[–] xabe@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I agree.

I just wish things were different, and tinnitus taken more seriously as a life-threatening illness.
