  2. Yep, tinnitus. We still don’t know all there is to know about tinnitus. Some of my neuroscience friends in my building are interested in tinnitus, what causes it and how to treat it better.
    It seems to be the little hair cells in your cochlea being inappropriately stimulated to make you think you are hearing a noise. This can be caused by damage to these cells-try and look after your ears and don’t have your earphones up too loud!
