Could we find a way to confirm or refute my hypothesis that most
of tinnitus is a failure in the automatic gain control system
that is built into the auditory system?

You could ask in sci.med. I sometimes read physiology and anatomy when
I get bored, and I am endlessly amazed at the scientific details of a
living organism. Try it and you'll never go back to lowly engineering.

I've already done a reasonable amount of reading, they don't really have
an agreen on mechanism for tinnitus. And I've spent time learning a bit
of biology.

Have you managed to learn what tissues perform this "automatic gain
control" function to which you refer?

The outer hair cells. That's been known for quite a time.

That's just the sensor. How about the underlying neurology?

No, the outer hair-cells are NOT the sensors. As for the neurology, how
about it?

Then what are they, the amplifiers? And don't push the hard part of the
problem on me. Neurology is one of the most difficult fields of medicine,
and the project is your idea, Doctor Woodgate.

Well, it's a large field, but here's a start:

When a brain is developing, what factors do neurons use to decide
whether or not to create a synapse between their own dendrites and
axons and other cells' axons and dendrites?

New synapses _do_ get created, you know. This has been documented
and verified independently.

Right, but how did he get from Xemu the Marvel comic monster to Plastic
Man? Inquiring minds want to know.

Not a good idea IMHO. You could end up catching them blame for any
psychic damage that may result from the use of an 'unapproved' meter.
There is no way to demonstrate that the correct operation of your
product will result in a positive outcome of a session in which it is
used.

And just wait till you meet their legal staff.

Reminds me of an old joke:

Heaven and Hell are actually separated by nothing more than a fence.
After a time, the fence fell into disrepair and God called the devil
over to assess the situation. God said, "Since this fence is on our
property line, we should each pay half of the repair cost."

The devil replied, "Fix it if you want, but I'm not going to contribute
a thing."

God countered, "Oh yeah? I'll see you in court!"

The devil, picking himself up of the ground after a hearty laugh,
replied, "That's very funny. Where are you ever going to find a lawyer?"
