#3Cue all the top comments about why this isn’t news, or how we’re no closer to a cure.
I’ve just accepted that there won’t be a cure anytime soon, and come to terms with it.
Would love to be proven wrong, but I think they’ll find a cure for tinnitus when they can cure baldness and cancer.

I get the point but we can cure many many forms of cancer and have treatments for baldness so it feels like a moving goalposts situation.

Diseases without the possibility of animal testing are going to take a long time.

I don't think that's a very good comparison. Cancer strikes at the very heart of what we are (a bunch of cells which are expected to cooperate and sometimes don't). Compared with that, tinnitus seems pretty hackable.

> we can cure many many forms of cancer
We can try. Sometimes the cancer doesn't come back, and sometimes it does, and in no case do we understand why. This is not what most people mean by "cure".

#8Can't wait. With me it is ups-and-downs, at times it's great for months at a stretch and sometimes it is so bad I can't listen to music (or play).
There are many different forms of tinnitus and usually some mechanism or cure operates only on a fraction of all cases so I'm hoping that this is as broad as possible. Note to younger self: stay away from loud concerts.

Earnest curiosity - when someone is cured of cancer, and it comes back, is that different from me being cured of the flu and then catching the flu again later? Obviously it's different sorts of malady, but is it that the same cancer comes back, or is it just that if you had kidney cancer once, it's likely you might get it again? Or do we just not know enough about cancer to say/it varies on the sort of cancer?
It's not like being cured normally means "and you'll never get that again ever".
