Neuroscientists believe they have discovered your dysfunction. Or, more accurately, your neural mechanisms dysfunction. They “gate” noise controlling the noise and pain signals. You see. there are “circuit breakers” that should work, but are not.



After an injury tinnitus can occur and sufferers experience phantom sounds. Veterans are exposed to some very loud noises and there are times that ear protection is not practical, among veterans claimed disabilities tinnitus has been the top disability receiving compensation for at least the past 2 years. Compounding the problem of tinnitus and the pain it brings is an increased risk for depression and anxiety. Two disabilities that veterans are at risk for.

It’s a pretty interesting article, I hope you enjoy it.

In the October issue of Trends in Cognitive Sciences, researchers say identifying the problem is the first step to developing effective therapies for these disorders, which afflict millions of people. None now exist.
