    Hey Frank, yes I still pop in a few times a week though I’m not posting much these days, mostly for any updates on the Shore device/general research news. How are you doing?

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    @linearb, thank you for posting your experience! Have you ever suffered from hyperacusis (loudness or pain/noxacusis) or any type of sensitivity to sound? If so, did you notice any effect at all on the sensitivity while experiencing relief from tinnitus symptoms when using the device?

    Hearing Loss and Severe Tinnitus — From Loving Life to Suicidal in 2 Months

    Hey there @gameover, welcome to the forums. I am truly sorry to hear you are going through this awful experience. I felt compelled to write a reply as your reaction to developing tinnitus and hyperacusis reminds me of my own back in November 2021. I can absolutely relate to those feelings of...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    If Dr. Shore’s device would somehow calm the hyperactivity in my brain enough to mitigate hyperacusis and make me less prone to reacting or spiking from louder sounds/events, but had no real effect on my baseline tinnitus level, I’d be over the moon. I mostly habituated to tinnitus within 2...

    Probably done with any shows until summer though, planning on seeing Hermanos Gutiérrez at a free outdoor bandshell show in June and I won’t be pushing my luck til then. Very grateful and satisfied from what I got to see/hear!

    Second show was all acoustic guitar based: Tommy Emmanuel w/ Richard Smith opening. Smaller theater and had a seat fairly close to the stage, just wore foam earplugs for this one. Only had to get out for a little bit when Tommy started doing percussion on the guitar lol. Some of the absolute...

    For sure. First show was John Mellencamp who I’ve been wanting to see for years… bought the farthest possible ticket from the stage, wore foam earplugs + X5As and took breaks during the full band parts. It was awesome!

    Went to two great (indoor!) concerts in the past month with proper hearing protection without any serious spiking. My soul needed that :)

    Hyperacusis + Hearing Loss = Hearing the bubbles in your seltzer can loud and clear but always responding to folks with “I’m sorry, what???”

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I’m dying for the device to finally come out so we can hear some real-world results and experiences, rather than numbers and graphs. The only aspect the data represents is the lowering of the tinnitus volume, which is revolutionary in itself if truly effective, but I wonder what effect could...

    So tired of missing out, so tired of feeling like the world is attacking me, so tired of feeling like a prisoner to this bullshit condition.

    Unfortunately, I’m still unable to go to concerts and it will likely remain that way as it’s impossible to cut down the low frequencies (bass, kick drum, etc.) with hearing protection. Really sucks to have that ripped away as shows were my happy place for years.

    I have been able to go back to listening to music, mostly on my bookshelf speakers, as well as in the car and on a Bluetooth speaker, though I can’t crank it like I used to. Headphones are not an option anymore.

    4 months sounds about right. I have had setbacks/spikes that bring the reactivity back but it tends to level out again within a month.
