    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    And they are such control freaks that they will not allow you to sell the device to someone else and have it recalibrated for the new user. You have to buy the device new, either directly from them or through an audiologist, who then tests and calibrates it specifically for you. If they would...

    Chit Chat and All That...

    I traveled to Istanbul for a week in October, and the flights were rough. My tinnitus increased significantly during the flight. I tried watching a movie, but it was unbearable. All I could do was sit quietly, try to stay calm, and ignore it.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Speculation. That is just about all we have seen in this thread. I have been following this discussion closely, checking Auricle’s updates, and reviewing the FDA’s approved devices website weekly for almost a year. Person after person shares their take on why Auricle is not more forthcoming, why...

    Success Is a Matter of Perception

    I am not discounting anyone's experience, and I understand that some of you have endured horrible years and are still suffering. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. I am just as invested in finding a cure and supporting effective care, and I have deep respect for each of you and...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    This whole "Trump has a low IQ," or "Only idiots voted for Trump," or "Americans are going to suffer now" all sounds like schoolchildren crying because they're not allowed to tell all the other kids what to wear, where to sit, how to speak and what to eat.

    Success Is a Matter of Perception

    That was me almost exactly. I was so stressed I couldn’t sleep, work, or exercise, and I had no appetite. I lost over 40 pounds. One person after another, in person (not on forums), told me they’d had the same experience and eventually habituated to it over time. They encouraged me to stay...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    There are already numerous treatments that people on Tinnitus Talk can attest to. None of them work for everyone because, as we all know, every case of tinnitus is different. Yes, there are classifications and common symptoms associated with different types and causes of tinnitus, but if it were...

    This is just about the most popular thread on "TINNITUS" Talk. LOL!

    Do We Live in Simulation?

    What a question. I think, therefore I am. We are not a simulation.

    My Dream Is to Get a Motorcycle License — Can Driving a Motorcycle Make Tinnitus Worse?

    Riding a motorcycle might worsen tinnitus. I own a 900cc Triumph, and it's fairly loud, although I always wear a helmet. However, I don’t use earplugs. After riding, my tinnitus spikes slightly but eventually returns to what I perceive as a moderate level—not severe, but not mild either. It...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Seriously. Harris better than Trump? She lacks the basic ability to communicate with people without twisting everything into a political statement.

    Poll: Would You Trade Your Tinnitus for a 5-Year Prison Sentence?

    Am I supposed to be impressed by this? Are you more qualified to tell people how to handle tinnitus because you were tortured? I don't think so.
