Does anyone remember the name of the medication that the military was supposedly using to cure Tinnitus? I saw some post back on QRV but cannot find the reference anywhere else.
Thanks.

That's a big negative on the SSRIs fren. Bad stuff there.
Guns and loud music did most of the damage. Hard to stay away from 85 db when you like loud music while driving. Not often as the good system is in my play car. I don't wear them on the motorcycle, instead opting for music in the helmet, which I try and keep low.
My hearing is OK up to about 2k, but then it rolls off on a steep slope, dropping about 10-12 db every doubling in frequency. The problem is there are parts of speech in the 1500-2500 Hz range which comprise speech - sounds like "ck" and "st". It makes it very hard to hear in loud environments like a bar.
I'm destined for hearing aids at some point. I'm trying not to get too old too quickly.
There is a university of Michigan device that has been in the works for a decade, hopefully that will be ready in a few years.
A similar company in Sweden called Neuromod has an electrode device as well, but the effectiveness rate was only around 30%, and you must travel there and it is $3,000.
