Scientists Hope to Use Electronic Music and “Tongue Buzzing” to Treat Tinnitus
Many people around the world, especially those in the music industry, suffer from tinnitus or ringing in the ears. Tinnitus isn’t a standalone medical condition or disease you can catch, but rather a symptom from conditions like hearing loss. While there are a variety of treatments out there, a simple cure that fixes the problem for everyone does not exist. Ireland’s Neuromod Devices has been testing a new device that hopes to help those experiencing the symptom. Interestingly enough, while loud electronic music can bring on tinnitus, the Irish researchers are using electronic music to help patients. Their device—named Lenire—is a peripheral fitted with electrodes that the patient places on their tongue while listening to tones through headphones. The user ...

JUDAS PRIEST’s ROB HALFORD Looks Back On His ‘Very, Very Dangerous Back Surgery’
In a recent interview with LiveSigning.com, JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford was asked how often he rides his motorcycle when he is not touring. He responded: “I don’t hardly ride at all now — not since my back operation, which I had some years ago. I had this horrible, horrible herniated disc that was pushing on my sciatic nerve. People that have had sciatica — I’m sure there’s some people watching now that have had sciatica — oh, man. It’s brutal — it’s absolutely brutal. So I had to have back surgery in Birmingham some years ago — five years ago now, maybe six years ago. “You may remember if you saw me in New York, I was walking around with a walking stick, and Richie [Faulkner, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist] was pushing me in a wheelchair, ’cause...
John Lydon Doubles Down on Supporting Trump: ‘I’d Be Daft as a Brush Not to’
John Lydon is known for unapologetically championing Trump, and during a recent interview with the Observer he doubled down on his support of the president. The Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd frontman cited the economy as the reason why he’ll be voting to re-elect Trump. “I’d be daft as a brush not to,” he said. “He’s the only sensible choice now that Biden is up — he’s incapable of being the man at the helm.” Lydon went on to explain that his support began after the president was accused of being racist. “I’ve been accused of the very same thing, so I’m offended for anybody who’s called that,” he divulged. For those who need a refresher, the singer and his crew were involved in an altercation with Kele Okereke at 2008’s Summercase festival. The&nb...
