Study of inner ear development hints at way to restore hearing and balance: Scientists have identified two genes crucial to the production of delicate sensors, called hair cells, in mammals. Loud noise, trauma, infections, plain old aging--many things can destroy hair cells, the delicate sensors of balance and sound within the inner ear.
And once these sensors are gone, that's it; the delicate hair cells don't grow back in humans, leading to hearing loss and problems with balance. But scientists hope to find a way to regenerate these cells by examining how they develop in the first place. New research at Rockefeller University, in A. Comment un volume trop fort endommage votre audition et attaque vos nerfs. Malmener ses oreilles augmente les risques de pertes précoces d'audition, mais les rouages du phénomène sont longtemps restés mystérieux.
Une étude anglaise vient d'apporter la lumière sur les acouphènes et autres problèmes, ouvrant la voie à de futurs traitements. Entre les concerts et les écouteurs, nos oreilles sont soumises à de nombreux risques. Le fait que des sons trop forts endommagent notre audition est bien connu, mais les mécanismes de la perte d’audition et de l’apparition d’acouphènes restaient mal connus jusqu’à un article récent. JOURNAL DU CNRS. TRI 2014 03. Trigger point injection treatment for tinnitus, part 1. MDMA COULD BE A CURE FOR TINNITUS. Researchers in New Zealand believe a cure for tinnitus could come from an unlikely source - MDMA.
According to University of Auckland lecturers, early research has shown that a substantial number of sufferers of the condition, which causes constant ringing in the ear, claim their tinnitus went away after taking ecstasy. University of Auckland postdoctoral fellow Daniel Spiegel said: "The initial idea came from some anecdotal evidence from a research clinic where some participants were quite frank and said that after taking ecstasy their tinnitus went away. " Discussion about whether MDMA could be a possible cure for tinnitus came from the International TRI Tinnitus Conference earlier this month.
University lecturer Grant Searchfield said: "There is no good research yet and that's something that we are hoping to do very soon. " He reckons that trials to find a condition for tinnitus using MDMA could start by May. [Via: Stuff.co.nz] AERA. Pourquoi les oreilles tintent parfois.

Nov. 1, 2011 COPY BY: Rana McDonald, 806-651-2129, rmcdonald@wtamu.edu CANYON, Texas—A major development in tinnitus research last fall at West Texas A&M University has led to a joint study using magnetoencephalography with measurable results.
Dr. Caffeine Intake Associated with Lower Incidence of Tinnitus Research 12935. Boston, MA – New research from Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) finds that higher caffeine intake is associated with lower rates of tinnitus, often described as a ringing or buzzing sound in the ear when there is no outside source of the sounds, in younger and middle-aged women.
This research is published in the August issue of the American Journal of Medicine. In this prospective study, which followed more than 65,000 women in the Nurses’ Health Study II, researchers tracked self-reported results regarding lifestyle and medical history from these women, aged 30 to 44 years and without tinnitus in 1991. Information on self-reported tinnitus and date of onset was obtained from questionnaires returned in 2009, with cases defined as women who reported symptoms “a few days/week” or “daily.” After 18 years of follow up, researchers identified 5,289 cases of reported incident tinnitus. “The reason behind this observed association is unclear,” said Curhan.

Tinnitus Research Initiative - Welcome. Un espoir pour les personnes qui souffrent d'acouphènes. Un médicament pour traiter les acouphènes Environ 800 000 Québécois qui souffrent d'acouphènes peuvent avoir bon espoir qu'un jour leur état auditif s'améliorera.
Des recherches menées à l'Université Laval ont donné des résultats encourageants. Les personnes qui ont des acouphènes entendent toujours un bourdonnement dans l'oreille. Celui-ci affecte leur vie de tous les jours. Pour le professeur de la Faculté de médecine de l'Université Laval, Matthieu Guitton, les acouphènes sont un problème de santé publique important. « Ils vont toucher 10% de la population adulte et ce pourcentage est appelé à augmenter à cause du comportement des jeunes qui écoutent de la musique très fort », dit-il.
Pour l'instant, il n'existe aucun médicament contre ce trouble de santé, mais les espoirs sont permis. Le Dr Guitton a effectué des tests à partir d'une molécule injectée à des rats.

Behavioral Models of Tinnitus and Hyperacusis in Animals. 1Center for Hearing and Deafness, Department of Communicative Disorders and Sciences, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, NY, USA 2Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Western Ontario, London, ON, Canada The phantom perception of tinnitus and reduced sound-level tolerance associated with hyperacusis have a high comorbidity and can be debilitating conditions for which there are no widely accepted treatments.
One factor limiting the development of treatments for tinnitus and hyperacusis is the lack of reliable animal behavioral models of these disorders. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to highlight the current animal models of tinnitus and hyperacusis, and to detail the advantages and disadvantages of each paradigm. To date, this is the first review to include models of both tinnitus and hyperacusis. Received: 14 July 2014; Accepted: 02 September 2014; Published online: 17 September 2014.

Tinnitus Research Initiative - Welcome. Canadian Academy of Audiology - Heard, Understood. What is Tinnitus? Tinnitus is the term used for noises or sounds which are heard in one or both ears or in the head which do not come from an external source. They are often described as a high-pitched ringing but can also be described as a buzzing, hissing, pulsing, whistling, roaring, or various other sounds. Tinnitus can be very mild in loudness and only noticeable in a quiet room or it can become extremely loud and annoying to the point where the sufferer hears nothing else. Tinnitus Talk Support Forum.
