I’ve had a few moments of tinnitus, nothing that lasted longer than a couple of days. It was always accompanied by a significant change in hearing (allergies or sinus infection). Unfortunately I do not :( In theory, yes. In practice, it would simply not be cost effective. I spent 12 months...

So, I just logged on as I was curious if there was any new research and to check on old friends. No tinnitus for me and life is good.

I wish I could say. Experiencing silence was/is so overwhelming many of my other struggles slowly faded out of my awareness. I do know that it seemed to become higher resolution, less moving. It’s like I went from 1080p to 4K.

Who knows??! Maybe it’s impossible to predict, maybe it’s hard to replicate the device, I’ve always assumed they are dealing with struggles in Bluetooth latency.

Because I spent a year in the UoM research lab being tested as guinea pig both before the actual trial and during the trial. I’ve met Lim, the whole research team, and have been able to view some of the data (I am a research scientist myself).

Well if Lim is aware of the offsets among the population, it means he would have access to knowledge on timings not yet available to Shore. So it actually is very relevant...

You do know that in the context of the UofM device the timings were actually specified exactly for the patient via EEG, right?

No I mean EEG. I’ve never heard of a qEEG. The goal of the EEG was to determine how long the sound took to actually cause a reaction. They used this as a starting point for timings.

Hard to say. Not sure it matters. If I try really hard and plug my ears and focus and think, I can hear a sound. But I’d rather not. From a practical perspective, I don’t hear it for weeks at a time.

I attribute much of my specific success to having timing coordinated with an EEG, and likely experience to parameters unsuitable to the general population.

I have a dip down to 10 dB. Some people consider that hearing loss?

Google the rocabado exercises! From the trial. I also had exposure to timings that were calibrated via EEG as well as approximately 9 months of research. AKA, I was lucky.

I’m not fully researched on the tinnitus TMD connection, other than it exists. My internal derangement isn’t going away, that’s impossible. But my tinnitus did. I did form an MRI confirmed pseudodisc in each by performing the exercises religiously. My TMD is still improving, but not fully...

Well I was in trial and had tinnitus for 30 years. The general eligibility requirements are there for study design purposes mainly. You start with the population you think will be most responsive first. It would be senseless to study the whole gamut, especially if you expect some sort of dose...

Where do you get the notion this device won’t cause structural changes? Indeed that is exactly what it does. In general, earlier is always easier because it has less time to be reinforced. What questions? Nobody is saying it won’t or can’t work for tinnitus that has been around longer. Silence...
