RECENT ONSET
TINNITUS
Recent onset tinnitus is defined as tinnitus that has developed within the last two years. Several indications, including Ménière's disease and Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss, are associated with severe tinnitus symptoms.
SEVERE DEBILITATING TINNITUS
Chronic debilitating tinnitus is associated with severe depression, sleep disorders and suicide ideation. Recently Gateway scientists have had a major breakthrough in an animal model toward developing a gene therapeutic approach.
