Thanks for the effort. Do you know if you have to be a resident of Germany, Austria or Uk in order to participate in the study?

This is the power of the double blind placebo study. They give the drug to one group of people and a placebo drug to another group. Neither of the groups know what they got (double blind). Then they have to find the difference in cure rate (here probably som kind of reduction parameter) between...

All right. What a heated debate. I don't like the vibe! Here are my two cents: Yes, Dr. Wilden's 'scientific' explanations are a bit lame. Is he a quack? Well, some people seem to have had positive effect of his treatments. Does this mean that his treatment would pass a double-blind placebo...

Hi Tenna, The mind is a powerful tool. Indeed. I, too, believe that in order to succeed in any tinnitus treatment you must believe in it. This (Iben & Mødregruppen 15-02-2013 (2) / Ibens – Radio24syv) is also on tinnitus (Danish). A woman, who's husband had tinnitus, explains how he imagined...

Yes it does. You think that Swedish guy You wrote to could be a scammer?

That must be a fantastic sensation to have silence. Can you describe it?

I have a bunch. Had them since I was a child. Never got worse. Hardly ever notice them anymore. Don't annoy me at all. I find them funny to play with sometimes.

Come on researchers! Hurry up!

'This device delivers mild electrical pulses to the nerve endings in the tongue. mutebutton is intended to be used for at least 20 mins per day and over the course of weeks and months, has been clinically shown to significantly reduce the loudness of the tinnitus sound and the associated...

Early 2014 - that's very soon. The 'button' part sounds a bit like the 'tap the backside of your skull'-tricks. I wonder if it's meant for permanent suppresion or temporary relief. Edit: Oh, I can just use their website. The Device | mutebutton is an innovative new tinnitus treatment that...

Indeed it does. I can't believe that only 300 researchers worldwide are working on research in an area that affects so many people. I think too many tinnitus associations (etc.) believe too much in habituation - not that I don't believe in it, not that it's not a great thing that one can...

With all the respect for The Tinnitus Clinic (www.thetinnitusclinic.co.uk), this is a good example on why it would be good to have a researcher answer questions. I could provide other resources telling you another story.

http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01934010?term=tinnitus&recr=Open&rank=22 This is the next trial. They only take people who also participated in the previous trial.
