There was no placebo control group in this study, so this is worthless data. Plus, @Mentos, who took part in one of the trials was strongly encouraged to state that the treatment helped him, despite the fact that it did not. I have one more friend who used this method, and she was not happy either.

This is serious stuff. Questions like "Dr. Shore, when will the FDA approval be finished", or "Dr. Shore, when will the commercialization be completed" are pointless, as there are dozens of variables that are not under the control of Auricle. However, we deserve clear information if they have...

Again, all we do here is speculating. When it comes to the parameters and the way the device works, that is a good exercise, as we have a lot of official data. When it comes to the business side, we have almost zero insights. Let's wait for the interview with Dr. Shore. I'm only saying this...

I feel the same. I did what I could to habituate. I've been doing TRT for a year and a half now. All I can say TRT helped a little bit and I learned how to minimize the impact of tinnitus on my life. But TRT does not cure, and I find Jastreboff almost a sadist, as he thinks achieving silence...

I understand you and your point of view is logical. However, now we are building our expectations on assumptions, not facts. To be honest, the date when the device is approved is not that important for me. I feel safe, as the data are promising. And that is the most important part.

I cannot pinpoint the source, but I remember precisely: Dr. Shore submitted the request for FDA approval at the same time she submitted the publication for peer review.

It is worth mentioning that the trial lasted only 4 weeks. There is a suspicion longer use will result in permanent recovery.

Yes, you are.

Yes. This is very, very good news! I hope Dr. Shore will remain in good health. If this is the case, the future is bright. I'm so grateful to @Markku for this clarification.

You are the best. I had an anxiety attack after seeing the news of Dr. Shore retiring, but this made my day.

That would be brilliant, but unfortunately that is only speculation. I hope @Hazel and @Markku will be able to ask Dr. Shore for clarification about her plans. Right now, the news of her retiring might be causing anxiety for thousands of people. I would be very grateful if someone clears this up.

I'm sad that Dr. Shore did not release additional information for the tinnitus community, to clarify her plans. Now all we can do is speculate.

Sorry. I did not mean that you are spreading negativity. I would like to direct that at people who will find this information disturbing and panic as a result.

Yes. It means that she will receive money from the retirement system, but will continue to work. This is a common situation in the scientific field. I couldn't imagine her leaving for good when the device is not FDA approved. It is the fruit of her life. I guess she will stop working and...

It was in bad taste indeed. Dr. Shore is our only hope, she is dedicated to us and we owe her our highest respect. Good on you for your apologizing for your mistake.
