Rebooting the brain helps stop the ring of tinnitus in rats – 3
Narrator: This is NIH Health Matters. I’m Joe Balintfy. Tinnitus, or tinnitus, is typically a ringing in the ear and is often a symptom of hearing loss. Dr. Roger Miller at that National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders says it’s currently incurable.
Miller: There are some behavior therapies that will help the patients learn how to deal with and find a way of making it less bothersome. And those are really quite good, but we’d like to have an actual cure.
Narrator: Now a new therapy has been discovered involving a nerve in the neck, which is not typically associated with hearing. For more information on tinnitus and this potential cure, visit www.nidcd.nih.gov. Health Matters is produced by the National Institutes of Health, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
