Just a question in general. Mine started at the left side and then
went to the right side. Now, both sides seems OK but the left side
still feels a bit. I think your description of the nerve wound leading
to tinnitus was well founded.
I have dome some additional research on the ear and have found that
there are two liquids in the ear which because of a chemical difference
have a potential difference of around 80 millivolts.
80 millivolts is a lot of voltage to be applied to fragile nerve
endings, and it is probably there to get maximum sensibility out of the
ear.
there is no other part of the nervous system that has that much
electrical potential in it's mechanism, I believe.
consider that the ear was designed for maximum sensibility, but now in
today's world it operates in overdrive.
when the cilia move or bend, there is an interplay between the two
positively and negatively charged liquids and the nerve endings and
nerve cells, this creates stimulation of the nerve.
if the hearing system is abused and/or there is some malformation or
misfunction in the functioning of the mechanisms which control and
exploit interplay between the charged liquids then a few things could
happen.
overstimulation:
With the high potential difference of .08 Volts any uncontrolled
stimulation of the nerve cells could produce very strong stimulation of
the auditory nerve.
the auditory nerve is probably the only nerve in the body that has the
potential to carry that much electric charge.
the others being the eyes (which I don't think count, because eyelids
shut and perhaps there is less potential for stimulation), physical
feelings (which would have to be incredibly intense and bunch up in one
nerve to create a similar stimulation).
it seems to me that the auditory nerve differs in this respect because
it's main purpose is to carry signals generated by the ears, and it's
sensations are interpreted only in sound.
Misregulation of discharge or lack of isolation between the charged
liquids:
if there is damage to the cilia, or to the lymph system in the ear, not
only would the absence of functioning cilia and therefore lack of
dynamic range in the stimulations of the nerve affect the nerve, but
also any disfunction which would cause a nerve cell or ending to be
partially 'on' or conductive all of the time.
also any lack of complete Isolation between the two liquids would
create abnormal stimulation of nerve cells not related to sound
vibrations.
My tinnitus modulates with low and midrange sounds, and it seems to
follow the volume envelope which is similar to the behaviour of pain
when a weak or hypersensitive nerve is stimulated.
it seems that there is no other nervous apparatus has the high
potential to abuse it's 'carrier nerve' as much as the auditory nerve.
Am I wrong?

Dear Alfred,
I am no doctor or medical specialist and thus am not in a position to
tell whether you are right or wrong. However, conceptually you are
right on the button in my opinion. The nerve part is something that
the American doctors and scientists here seldom talk about. Where they
most talk about is habituation. After all, when people walk into the
wrong path and could not find anything, they are nevertheless forced to
say something because they are treated as the experts. As experts, the
best answer is, i suppose, tell the patients to live with it or
habituate.
I had been suffering from nerve discomfort with tinnitus sound for
about a year and half, and during this time period I went to see about
15 high tech doctors, until I met an acupuncturist who took care of my
nerve. None of the high tech fancy western doctors had any solution
except the solution of charging ruthlessly for their BMWs monthly
payments, and the huge payment for their house mortgages.
Perhaps in Italy or Europe, where the medical establishment is not
dominated by the anglo-American elite, people are freer to explore into
areas which are the forbidden land by the anglos.

the medical system is worse, just as expensive if not more for good
service...
you do have less laws that restrict experimental medicine.
this is an area that hasn't been researched because....?
the nervous system is very difficult and dangerous to cure, i guess.
there is some research being done in the states though. from what i see
on internet.
very strange that so little is known

So the 'socialist' system in Europe is also bankrupt. Right?
Perhaps the Chinese knew thousands of years ago what the modern doctors
have so far failed to find out.
