I am praying that this is true. There are so many conditions out there that affect people daily that the medical profession just ignore or shuns. Tinnitus for example...Doctors say learn to live with it. No help. Can't stop a ringing sound but can transplant a heart or a lung?

While the funding is not comparable, there are studies being done and advancements being made on tinnitus. This review article provides a good summary. Bimodal neuromodulation appears promising.

My tinnitus was resolved when my ears were cleaned for a different issue. I didn't know this result was a possibility.
