I'm not calling you out specifically, but I see this a lot in this thread. It's completely possible that the device could end up being junk, but...

Joey72 liked Bambam0's post in the thread New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing.

Based on Dr. Shore's (well-understood) tight-lipped approach to sharing information about the study, the fact that she shared this at all is WILD.

@Lipshitz . Some of us are really severe and can't just move on. Try getting pain from sound, see how easily you forget about it

Eloy Resendez Jr rated BlueMoon86's post Hug in the thread Sudden Hearing Loss Gave Me Tinnitus and Took My Life Away.

It's been four and a half months since my hearing loss, which gave me awful tinnitus. In the first few weeks, I was like a zombie. I couldn't eat...

I wanted to give you all a brief update. I've definitely noticed the intensity/variability of my spike has reduced in nature, especially over the...

I don't know if VAD would make karma worse. Any type of suicide, abortion, or murder would be deemed a sin in some religions. It's a hard choice,...

Nobody asked for this @Sherif, and nobody chose to get tinnitus and/or hyperacusis. However, life doesn't always turn out according to plan—or how...

Juliane rated object16's post Hug in the thread Almost 100% Cured of Hyperacusis and Tinnitus.

Don't worry. I used to have tinnitus off the charts. Initially, it would subside and go away in three days. Then, it would take a week....

This is why we as a community need to continue pushing as hard as we can for objective tinnitus measurement at the point of care.
