Well, nowhere did we read '10.9 dB and then stop'. We only read 'up to 10.9 dB in 12 weeks,' so we HOPE that more weeks mean more reduction. I hope so, especially for those who are more severe.

In any case, I would totally exclude the possibility that the device is a scam. If Auricle's goal was to "get our money," they could have simply published everything quickly. Unfortunately, we are not CEOs of a multimillion-dollar company about to launch a potentially revolutionary product on...

With all due respect, @Bart, but your opinion (as well as mine and that of 99% of people) and the opinion of any audiologist/ENT specialist don't seem to matter much compared to a twenty-year study and the opinion of someone with multiple degrees who has dedicated 2/3 of her life to tinnitus...

For me, @AnthonyMcDonald remains one of the most rational people on Tinnitus Talk, even if his manners are sometimes a bit rough. I fully understand the anxiety and frustration of the more severe cases, who have all my support, but let's try not to be repetitive, pessimistic, and...

If you read the Q&A by Susan Shore, she specifies that there were no side effects (except a little discomfort from the electrodes at the beginning, until you get used to it) and that the worsening present in the graph was due to exposure to loud noises (such as concerts) during treatment.

Why do you think it shouldn't work for low-frequency tones?

From what I understand (but I could be mistaken), in some people, there is a spontaneous return of potassium channels to "normal," but for those with chronic tinnitus like us, this doesn't happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but some studies have demonstrated that, when a neural injury occurs (for example, due to acoustic trauma), there is a temporary reduction in the activity of Kv7.2/Kv7.3 channels, which can lead neurons to become pathologically active, right?

I don't know precisely what you mean by static electricity in the dark or on dark surfaces. I've described various visual symptoms to my eye doctor (not just floaters), and she explained that these are very common things. I don't want to disrespect anyone; I just wanted to share my perspective...

Thank you, very kind of you :) but mine was a rhetorical question, no desire to discuss it here in this thread. I know that surgery has been used (or at least considered) for "specific" cases and not as a "definitive" solution for everyone or the majority. Regarding the Shore device, do you...

Aside from wanting to cut the auditory nerve decades ago (when research was practically nonexistent), what other surgeries have been proposed (just curious)? Anyway, now that we've discussed more or less every doubt and have no new information since July, this "silence" is agonizing, haha.

I wanted to write this to reassure some people. This is not to belittle anyone's symptoms. I only noticed some symptoms (floating and dots) when I read about these things on the forum, I probably always had them but anxiety and stress made them more evident. I asked my ophthalmologist...

Yes, no studies for any specific condition, they talk about "any neurological and brain condition". For them, the ideal candidate (they said) must be under 30 years old and have all 4 limbs paralyzed. I think this is a "marketing" choice and a desire to show the enormous potential of the...

I don't know if this discussion is still of interest to you but did you see that Musk got clearance from the FDA and the recruitment phase opened on September 19th? Neuralink said it wants to implant 11 chips by the end of the year and 22,000 chips by 2030. The operation is so delicate and...

More likely but not certain. Let's hope so.
