If it can, then it must be easier said than done since all the devices in the past 10 years have pretty much been failures. I am not saying that Lenire is part of this group yet, though it appears not to be the breakthru treatment that most were hoping for. From the beginning I have never...

Awesome job @Markku & @Hazel! Although I don't post very often, Tinnitus Talk will always have a special place in my heart for helping me get through some of the most difficult moments in my tinnitus life! Happy Holidays!

That is not that unusual. I think many tinnitus people have it this way.

If your T is driving you crazy constantly which also means you are fighting a mental battle all the time. Yes, that can make you tired. Mental fatigue is real. I just tried to keep busy when awake and sleep as much as I could even if in pieces. If you are not working try to find some...

There might at least be some truth to that and most severe sufferers tend to post on forums. I know plenty of tinnitus sufferers who have never heard of Tinnitus Talk, never go to tinnitus forums, or search for anything about tinnitus online. In fact many I have known for years whom I never...

80% has been the reported "magic number" of success for several tinnitus devices going back a decade or more. It was even kind of a joke here on Tinnitus Talk a number of years ago. And of course, none of those "80%" devices ever had any meaningful results for real world tinnitus sufferers...

Decaf is not good for you because the decaffeination process involves soaking and washing for hours with chemical solvents to remove the caffeine. At that point, caffeine is the least of your worries.

Expectations vs reality.

I have been using cannabis off and on for the past few years. This year I have been taking full spectrum CBD regularly for about 6 months and my tinnitus overall is reduced significantly. I have always had super loud tinnitus, at least since 2012. My tinnitus is not gone and this is not a...

Agreed! Placebo effect is always enhanced by high expectations. That doesn't specifically mean that a device like Lenire doesn't work, but rather other factors are at play. The brain and body's perceptions tends to change when you receive treatment or think you are. This effect generally...

There's nothing wrong with being skeptical. Most people don't know what to believe, only what they wish to believe.

Give it a rest jazzer!

Having taken dozens of flights a year, I stand by my Bose headphones. I get a spike from flying whether I wear them or not but certainly it is better and quieter with them on.
