Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / May 2005Could Rogaine help the tiny hairs regrow?
Could Rogaine help the tiny hairs regrow that cause the tinnitus? I had heard their was some research on a genetic approach to stimulate the hair regrowth and it made me think of Rogaine as a possible way to do the same thing. If there was a definite cure for tinnitus we would have known by now. If Rogaine was a possible way to go we would have known by now. Tinnitus is most likely caused by extreme tension in the neck and shoulder muscles - even if you can't feel it, it will be there. http://eebee.net/TinnitusIsaPainintheNeck.shtml Please read all the information you can on eebee.net Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ >Could Rogaine help the tiny hairs regrow that cause the tinnitus? > >I had heard their was some research on a genetic approach to stimulate >the hair regrowth and it made me think of Rogaine as a possible way to >do the same thing.

Bob, most researchers feel that damage to hair cells in the inner ear plays a key role in the development of tinnitus, perhaps most tinnitus. But the cells are called "hair" cells only because they have tiny protrusions from them that are relatively thin and long--resembling the shape of hair. They actually have nothing to do with hair. Researchers are studying ways to cause the hair cells to regrow. It is not known if success in that will cure tinnitus, but it is possible that it would in many cases.

See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MenieresDG Jim - Thanks for the information, but don't tell the researchers what Elly said - "If there was a definite cure for tinnitus we would have known by now." - or they might stop working on a cure. There isn't that much research being done, is there? What has been done seems to entail swallowing awful drugs with awful side-effects. At least Elly's theory is reasonable and massage virtually harmless, so one would finish up more relaxed, even if one still had the tinnitus! Personally, I don't think there ever will be one cure. There seem to be so many different causes and so many different noises etc,. that I can't imagine one single thing curing all. In fact, I haven't much hope for any "cure" because they have virtually no idea what it is, or where it comes from.

(1)Kindly substantiate your statement with a link or some documented evidence so that I would be convinced that enough statistic work has been done on this subject. (2)Could these 'hair cells' ever recover on their own?

See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MenieresDG Jim, many people have ph.d in this world. The unfortunate thing is: even ph.ds have diverse views on the same subject.

See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MenieresDG Francis, I'm presently involved with research as to whether or not Guinness Beer will put hair on your cells. I'm using double blind testing as I find I'm that way after about 8 beers. I don't have a PhD in any medically related field, therefore I know I can count on your blessing and support for the results and conclusions. Bruce |
