Neural mechanism and potential treatment/mitigation/coping strategies for Chronic Tinnitus
I suffer from chronic Tinnitus in my left ear. I know of other people who suffer from this disorder. According to my ENT doctor, there is no cure since this is a disorder of consciousness. This condition of high pitch continuous ringing/buzzing in my left ear has been with me for 10+ years. Apparently this is a phantom sound that my brain generates. This condition can cause depression, productivity loss and mood disruptions. I do different forms of meditation as a coping strategy. It is quite painful to live with this order. Some days are worse than others. Would love to hear the neural mechanisms and research behind Tinnitus. It would be awesome if you could do one of your solo episodes on this topic and also find a researcher focused on Tinnitus hearing disorder and do a guest episode on this topic as well.
