The study was conducted by using a type of trans magnetic brain stimulation being monitored by technicians, using different sounds at different ranges.. purpose was to retrain auditory nerve .. results are still pending in the study , still waiting for results .. was by Susan ShorePh.d at U of Michigan, Ann Arbor
I guess my biggest question would be how to retrain an auditory nerve where there is zero hearing. I suffered SSHL in 2018 in my right ear. I have zero hearing in that ear, and I have severe 24/7 tinnitus on that side.

With SSHL, the auditory nerve is usually functional. It's the cochlea that is damaged. Bypassing the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerve is what a cochlear implant does. The success rate is high.
Have you considered a cochlear implant evaluation?
I have a Cochlear Osia 2 processor for my right ear. I was under the impression that the Cochlear implant was for those who have double sided hearing loss which is why I took the route I did. The tinnitus is very debilitating to the point that it sometimes keeps me from falling asleep at night even using white noise. I have it in both ears, however it is far worse in the deaf side. I, and many others are just looking for solutions for the tinnitus. I am always interested in new technological breakthroughs in this area.

Thank you…I have not but I will give this consideration, since no one has mentioned the possibility.. and it makes sense… so grateful for the message Rau882 @comcast.net
I hope you will share more about "Notch Therapy" and whether or not it helps.
Tinnitus is common among people with hearing loss. It comes in different degrees and affects people differently. Lots of research is being done on tinnitus therapy, but they still don't have what could be called a 'cure'.
We continue to hope! Is the new hearing aid helping your husband?
Try lipoflavanoid a natural supplement for tinnitus. It really works may be found at Walmart or Costco sometimes unavailable ask than to order. I’ve used it for many ears with great success
This site is from the UK. They discuss tinnitus with many different considerations and sound therapies. There are sound samples for listening to determine if the samples have any effect on the listener. Deafferentation and notched music plus amplitude modulation, are concepts discussed. There is an AP available for Iphones that you can download for free as an aid in discovering possible remedies.
The podcasts can be a challenge to understand but I got used to listening and interpreting the accents. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/podcast/
It may be helpful to others and I have examined for an hour or so. See what you think.

Thank you.
I friend took part in phase 1. He noticed improvement after 2 weeks. Did you notice any improvements? If so did they wear off?
