I stumbled upon something interesting today about a possible tinnitus cure. I'm very skeptical, of coarse, but there was some interesting information contained here anyhow about Myelin Sheaths and how a breakdown can be a culprit for causing tinnitus. Myelin Sheaths apparently coat our nerve cells, and in many cases damage to, or lack of, a Myelin Sheath can cause signal issues with our brains. A Myelin Sheath is similar to insulation on a wire. Because, in our cases, our Myelin Sheaths may have been damaged by a virus, this may possibly explain our tinnitus issues, not sure. The author and so called doctor indicate that tinnitus can be permanently reversed in as little as 2 weeks. I'm going to post the link below, for all of you to look at, and maybe we can all come to a consensus on whether this thing may be useful for us. It's probably just another scam, but we have some smart people on here and I would be interested to hear what they have to say about it.

Thanks.
Most doctors i have talked to, and my experience is, that tinnitus comes from brain activity associated with hearing loss. When the brain no longer gets sound from an ear or sounds in certain frquencies, it kind of creates static to fill the void. In my case i regained my hearing and lost the tinnitus simultaneously so the explanation fit. No one ever told me it had anything to do with the sheaths on the nerve in the case of menieres. If this worked, would it be a cure for MS? Why are they not selling it for that? If you have the money it doesnt hurt to read anything but i suspect it belongs on the shelf with the 'get rich without working' and 'eat all you want and lose weight' books.

Okay...Thanks for that!! I especially like the part about the websight being taken down. I must be a real idiot. I was actually more interested in the take away, about whether there is any truth to a relationship between Myelin Sheaths and tinnitus. If a person has damage to inner ear sensory and the nerves that carry the signal to the brain have a damaged or missing Myelin Sheath, does this contribute to or cause tinnitus. If it does, can this be repaired? This probably should have been the topic all along. Google search Myelin and Myelin Sheaths and see if you can draw any conclusions. We're all stabbing in the dark and it may take a little thinking outside the box to fix tinnitus. Here's a link discussing the topic. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071009071117.htm
heres anther link http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140214092104.htm Tinnitus study signals new advance in understanding link between exposure to loud sounds and hearing loss Leicester research reveals why hearing loss is correlated with auditory signals failing to get transmitted along the auditory nerve A research team investigating tinnitus, from the University of Leicester, has revealed new insights into the link between the exposure to loud sounds and hearing loss. Their study, published this week in J Neurosci,, helps to understand how damage to myelin -- a protection sheet around cells -- alters the transmission of auditory signals occurring during hearing loss. The three-year study was derived from a PhD studentship funded by Action on Hearing Loss. It was led by Dr Martine Hamann, Lecturer in Neurosciences at the University's Department of Cell Physiology and Pharmacology. Dr Hamann said: "A previous publication has shown that exposure to loud sound damages the myelin which is the protection sheet around cells. We have now shown the closer links between a deficit in the "myelin" sheath surrounding the auditory nerve and hearing loss. It becomes obvious why hearing loss is correlated with auditory signals failing to get transmitted along the auditory nerve. "Understanding cellular mechanisms behind hearing loss and tinnitus allows for developing strategies to prevent or alleviate the symptoms of deafness or tinnitus -- for example by using specific drug therapies. "This new study is particularly important because it allows us to understand the pathway from exposure to loud sound leading to the hearing loss. We now have a better idea about the mechanisms behind the auditory signals failing to get transmitted accurately from the cochlea to the brain. Consequently, targeting myelin and promoting its repair after exposure to loud sound could be proven effective in noise induced hearing loss." Dr Hamann added that getting to dissect the cellular mechanisms underlying hearing loss is likely to bring a very significant healthcare benefit to a wide population. She said: "Understanding mechanisms responsible for hearing loss represents a significant unmet need that is likely to increase as the incidence of the disorder increases due to an aging population and the increasing impact of recreational and workplace noise. "I am very excited by this research. The work will help prevention as well as progression into finding appropriate cures for hearing loss and possibly tinnitus developing from hearing loss." Dr Hamann's team at the University of Leicester included Thomas Tagoe who performed all the electrophysiological experiments, Matt Barker and Natalie Allcock who performed the electron microscopy and the imaging experiments. Andrew Jones, a project student in the lab performed computer modelling. Dr Ralph Holme Action on Hearing Loss' Head of Biomedical Research says: ''We know that exposure to loud noise can lead to hearing loss. Protecting your ears should always be the first line of defence, but medical treatments to combat unavoidable or accidental exposure to noise are also urgently needed. The research we have been funding at University of Leicester makes an important contribution to increasing our understanding of how noise damages the hearing system -- knowledge we hope will ultimately lead to medical treatments for this common type of hearing loss."
I wonder if this is true in mm related hearing loss? If so, i wonder how it is rebuilt when hearing is restored? Not dismissing it, just pondering, and wondering if it applies to us. It may be true as complete hearing loss took a while to be restored and one can imagine the sheath being rebuilt or at least the pathogen being removed gradually. OR maybe not. interesting though.
Thanks again Vicki for the additional information. Does make me wonder if this could be a factor in our conditions, but not specifically studied as it relates to Meniere's. They're probably all interconnected somehow. I'm sure the virus is responsible for damage to many internal sensory and this may be just one more on the list. It would be interesting to see the effects of treatment for Myelin Sheath damage, such as those that are getting MS treatments, on a patient with Meniere's to see if they noticed any improvements. Just thinking, and perhaps maybe dreaming! Just looking for anything that may help us.
