    Big Pharma — Friend or Foe?

    Yes, that's what i'm saying... let's astrange ourselves from real science and medicine. Doctor's and pharma people have never had relatives with cancer and none of them would want to help others.

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    What other (real )clinics are there ? I am still very sceptical about this. If you see the home laser he sells. That device cannot cover much area or shine through the earlobe imo. And then he sells another regular laser pen for 1600 €. It's all too heavily marketeered to be serious.

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    1 month or so... but of course i never know if it hits the cochlea. Never heard any reaction. Wildens device covers a big spot, as @Nick J. indicates, so he is sure to hit the cochlea. But then 200 mW over such a big area is not much, just saying.

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    I have tried this for a while now, like I posted before, just shining a 50mW laser pointer into the ear (with little nozzle taped to end, to guide into the ear). Does nothing for me. Is not harmful imo. @Nick J. You say dr.Wilden does it with 200 mW, is that with a small dot like a laser...

    HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Surgery

    There is one person who says that 18 other persons were treated. Half of them woth "good results", one "completely cured". Doesn't state where he got that from. No treated patient on that forum.

    HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Surgery

    Ok, I understand that he has to charge his expenses, and he is not responsable of healthcare insurance. About public healthcare, it is not just left pocket/right pocket. It is a social security system in which everybody participates and so the cost for the less fortunate (healthwise) is...

    HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Surgery

    Yes, but that is why we have public healthcare, to keep the cost within range... It costs the same for Swiss citizens? Then I would have to ask my healthcare provider if they refund any of those test abroad.

    HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Surgery

    I was also talking about Loreta-qEEG. The measuring itself does not take that long. Maybe with the processing afterwards by a technician, yes. But that is also included in the price. I did read just now that there's also a CT scan, but with public healthcare, this is also not that expensive.

    Those with Hyperacusis and Tinnitus, Please I Need Insight

    You can work on the phonophobia, fear of (some types of) sound, by staying exposed to noises, but the real hyperacousis doesn't go. At least for me it doesn't. But i also don't know if loud noise above my H treshold (but normally not harmful) causes damage.

    HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Surgery

    2200 CHF just for the intake is quite a lot. Here in Belgium an EEG costs 80 € (no healthcare refund) and MRI or maybe fMRI cost between 50 and 150 € (with public healthcare). Add some more for one or more doctor's consults and that should be a reasonable price. Is it about healthcare, or...

    Treatment Prospects: Vagus Nerve Stimulation

    I meant Serenity instead of Serenade. Isn't it possible to edit posts?

    Treatment Prospects: Vagus Nerve Stimulation

    I just want to be carefull, to respect researchers privacy. It might have been "off-record" information, i don't know. It was in the Brai2n-clinic. They are connected to other facilities and dr's (like in Dallas), so they probably received a serenade device to test or received the treatment...

    BTA Refuses to Fund Drug and Stem Cell Research

    True, they probably have very limited funding. This kind of thing should be government funded.
