One step from YouTube titles.
🤯 Breakthrough: Could This SECRET 🧐 Mysterious NERVE Cure Tinnitus? 👂🔕
Well that'd be fucking dope
- Seriously. I can’t imagine having to live with tinnitus
  
  You get used to it and only really get reminded of it when it's brought up. Granted I'm sure for some people it's bad enough to always be at the forefront.
  
  There was a 16 or 17 year old guy on Reddit (at least I think it was Reddit) years ago--7 or 8 years ago--whose tinnitus was so loud and screechy that he could not sleep, could barely make out what people were saying when they talked to him, couldn't even enjoy music anymore.
  He made a post about how he was seriously considering ending his life. I think about that kid all the time.
  I have tinnitus, but it's quite mild and really hasn't had any effect on my life. But people like that young man, it steals their ability to interact with the world and they get more and more isolated.
  A cure would be awesome.

Kinda interesting in light of a cure that didn't work most of the time when it was tried: severing the auditory nerves. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6915835/
- TL;DR: They think it's peoples brains compensating for hearing loss
