Default 'Rebooting' brain could ease ringing in ears.
Scientists have found a way to ease chronic ringing in the ears, known as tinnitus, by stimulating a neck nerve and playing sounds to reboot the brain, according to research published Wednesday. Researchers used rats to test a theory that they could reset the brain by retraining it so that errant neurons return to their normal state.

That would be great, I agree, Kev, but I'm not sure we want to find out what happens when my brain is rebooted . I figure there's a 50-50 chance we either get a Blue Screen of Death as with a Windows PC, or utter gibberish gets dumped from memory. I'll let other people be the guinea pigs on this one.

Aye well hamjor,, I would risk it,, according to the wife there is not a lot between my lugs anyway, so the reboot would make little difference

Cheers, Kev

The article is great but how do I reset my own brain without going to a doc? I would love to stop my Tinnitus and resetting almost always works on my computer.

It is quite simple for researchers to know the rats have tinnitus, first they implanted recievers on the nerves, and the expose the rats to loud blasts to trigger tinnitus, then they can see the effect on the recievers

OMG THANKS for the laugh I really needed that badly right about now

been banging my head on the wall since sony put that new arbitration clause into their online terms of use. then finding out my bank, internet provider, and movie provider also jumped on the band wagon, which are the only big companies in my life but provide the most important needs for my life

LOL but aren't you worried that you might do an emergency hard-drive dump of your brain. I mean it took some serious scientist that only think they discovered how to do it.

About 10 minutes ago I was listening to really loud music in one of my ears from an iPod.
