Neurologists and ear experts from top universities have discovered that the cause of tinnitus is likely rooted in the brain.

For sufferers of seemingly harmless whistling, buzzing and ringing, the prognosis could be a lot worse than first thought.

Family doctors already know that tinnitus sufferers are more likely to later develop dementia or Alzheimer's in the future. 

Fortunately, the latest scientific breakthroughs bring hope to sufferers as over 40,000 trial participants have managed to 'feed' essential brain cells and neurons.

Even 10 year sufferers and those with hearing aids have managed to get their hearing and memories back. 

This is probably the most important video you'll see today.
