I love the optimism but I'd bet a lot of money patients are gonna pay for this.

Humans always want more than what they have. This is not a bad thing either - it's how progress happens. If tinnitus becomes treatable with Dr. Shore's treatment, then we're all better off, but there is more work to do with auditory issues in general. Tinnitus isn't the only thing most of us...

I don't have a link handy but she's mentioned she does have tinnitus before in an email response to an email sent by another person here.

Most of us here have had tinnitus for a while. You should be more grateful - all of us old timers have dealt with not just tinnitus but numerous letdowns and scams through the years. It's actually insane how many people want a solution for this but one doesn't exist yet. Finally, we have a...

When my tinnitus is loud, I'm able to regulate it with all my face and neck muscles. I wonder if this device works for not just somatic tinnitus like what I have, but other types too, assuming the others are persisted in the DCN.

Considering we're all used to studies that lack crucial elements like placebo and control groups, seeing that this study was so robustly done and produced such large volumes of data that all point to it being very effective is something none of us expected. It was inevitable that effective...

Some scientists abide by the principal of giving their research to society to improve it. Susan may or may not be that but until the final result of her research (whatever this device is) comes out, we shouldn't judge yet. You're right that all professors work to get grant money but it doesn't...

This is how I feel. When I listen to Susan talk about her research and auditory pathways, it's obvious she's a brilliant scientist who knows what she's doing. She gives off classic genius scientist vibes when she talks about her work. But that doesn't mean that this is going to be a slam dunk...

Then perhaps tinnitus is more related to how well the synapses are functioning, not the hair cells. Improving the hair cells may help hearing, but if your synapses are having issues, then they would need to be treated to alleviate tinnitus. Just a guess of course, I know the brain can adapt and...

Always good to hear another company getting into this space. The more the merrier. They will all push each other in the race for a cure. The more that get involved and the more promising the treatments all start looking will only incentivize them all to work harder to get their solutions to market.

As treatment protocols start being formulated for tinnitus, they will likely approach it from as many angles at the same time as possible. I can imagine down the road a drug may exist for hearing loss using several of these compounds that are being tested + perhaps some form of modulation...

Biotech PhDs are getting into en-masse this because its a major problem and beneficial to all of humanity. Tinnitus and hearing loss are horrible, and on the one hand it's sad it's common, on the other hand that's motivating a lot of researchers to figure out a solution for it.

Dr. Linnman got back to me. I'll post updates here after I participate in the study.

I emailed Dr. Linnman and asked if I could receive the treatment. I live close to the research facility. Hopefully he gets back, with a yes. This looks very safe and the protocol makes sense to me. Seems low risk high reward to me. If this alleviated my tinnitus to any degree I'd be very happy.

You could ask that question anytime a legitimate treatment is created for any condition or disease. Researchers have been circling around a bunch of possible ideas for a while, some of them are bound to work once the right protocols are figured out.
