Do you happen to remember the brand? GE or Siemens? Was it regular or research protocol? If indeed ZTE and/or Looping Star are becoming the gold standard, then yeah, it seems silent fMRI is possible. I found a fresh article that summarizes the state of silent MRI well and have some good...

Was it noiseless with or without hearing protection? It depends on the definition of "silent." I can read in some places that "Looping Star is a near-silent, multi-echo, 3D functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique. It reduces acoustic noise by at least 25dBA, with respect to...

I don't think there ever was expectation that fMRI + Neurofeedback would be any good solution anyway. MRI is loud and expensive. I think the point was that there's something that can be done at all and objectively measure tinnitus and its changes (improvements?), and later be used to conduct...

FYI, I just came across this one. This is some great progress, even if it took years (2017-2021). Of course if you read what Neurofeedback is, and if I got it right, it still relies on individual adjusting her/his response to tinnitus distress, so it is some improved CBT with visual feedback...

Hi @Juliane and @gameover. I am doing fine these days. Thank you so much for asking! During last few years I managed to detach my emotions from my (our) condition, and currently the only medications I use on regular basis are NAC a.k.a. ACC (European name) - every time I spend my day outside in...

Hi all. On this article Clas Linnman is photographed with a pair of $100 Howard Leight Impact Sport headphones, that have essentially similar features except radio communications as $500 3M Peltor TacticalPro mentioned earlier in this thread. Since they're widely available in Switzerland (aka...

@Andy02, I can relate to you. My 2nd (and permanent) tinnitus onset happened when I blasted for a few seconds studio headphones connected to iMac that had headphone volume set to 100%. Later I measured it at it was something around 105 dB. Previously in my life I was attending few loud concerts...

If I understand it right, FDA banned NAC use in dietary supplements, but I guess it can be still sold as a standalone drug: CRN petition requests FDA reverse position on NAC FDA changes in usage of NAC & it’s impact on Baseline+ It is still kind of a bummer, since there's more and more...

Ok, music is a vast subject. But here's one of my all time (non-controversial and listenable) favorite:

I get "temporary" floaters worsening day after I strain my eyes, e.g. spending too much time in the front of the computer. But I figured it has something to do with the perception mechanism that is not functioning well rather than increase of the floaters. When I get good rest I don't really...

That sucks, but maybe they enjoy staying in their little own clique or they're just a...holes. I used to think that there's something wrong with me that some people don't like me or worse - ignore me, but then when I change my environment I find some other folks that I enjoy working with or...

Thanks! I just hope people get my message... you know, according to Urban dictionary "When F1 driver Lewis Hamilton drives as fast as he can.". Btw. I wish I had a t-shirt with "SALE" on it. You can see plenty of them in malls, but how to buy one is kind of a mystery to me.

Hi Steph, Just out of curiosity and reciprocity to liking my last profile status, wanted to ask if your profile status is still up to date or the work stuff got better then?

So we've spent couple of days on Mallorca recently, despite pandemic and stuff. We are vaccinated so we felt safe, and while the 2nd shot had some nasty one-day effects on myself, nothing long-term. Mallorca was great, not crowded at all, but sometimes loud. In restaurants there were chairs...

A lightning just hit 50m behind the building I was looking at with a window open. Covered my ears. It was pretty loud. NAC+magnesium pop :)
