I have been subscribed to the Tinnitus Treatment Report mailing list for several years and find it quite informative. They had never promoted any specific treatment or therapy until recently. I decided to give it a try and paid around £150 (from memory), which covered a three-month supply of the...

She wasn't part of the trial - she bought the device as a commercial patient. I feel pretty peed off that I've spunked the thick end of £3k on Lenire to no effect, but I'm thankful to say the least that I didn't experience any 'disimprovements'.

Why can you not get Neuromod to send you a new tongue tip in the United States? Customs? If need be, I'd be happy to receive one for you and send it on. Whether Neuromod will play ball with this remains to be seen though.

Laughably shite scam. My dad, bless him, sent me the link - no doubt thinking he's doing me a favour - so I felt duty bound to watch the whole thing through, despite knowing from the start that it would be a crock of shite. The whole thing is so blindingly obvious as a scam. I was actually...

Update - see my post in the Minnesota thread.

After I added my post yesterday, I e-mailed Dr. Lim via his UMinn address. To my great surprise, he replied within 20 minutes - he's either really efficient or he doesn't have much work on ;). His reply was pretty much exactly the same as your thoughts. I don't think I'm being unfair or...

I think I love you. FWIW, Lim is still listed on the UMinn website as the director of the SONIC research lab. Hope springs eternal! That said, he's also listed as a paid schill of Neuromod.

I've asked them about this a couple of times over the last month or so - will they be refining the treatment protocols in light of the feedback they've received from their first wave of patients. I've never got a straight answer out of them - I think they're as in the dark about why it does or...

This is possibly the best description of 'problem', 'intrusive' tinnitus I've ever read. I find myself constantly asking - myself, since no-one else gives a shit - how can this be allowed? How is it possible that I can be tortured like this, day after day, month after month, year after year...

I was on their default settings throughout. IIRC it was PS2 to start with, then PS4 for the next stage, then back to PS2 - the names might be wrong & I've no idea what they mean, but they changed the settings at my first review (3rd visit to the clinic) and then changed them back again, as per...

I'm approaching the 12-month mark with Lenire, having long since concluded that if it was going to do anything, it would have done by now. I had a call with one of their audiologists today and she eventually conceded that she's in agreement. Having said that, I am considering carrying on with...

Bit harsh. It's plain stupidity looking back now, but when I started going to gigs aged 16, I'd never heard of tinnitus. My ears used to ring for a day or two after gigs abut I never realised or considered that it might be doing some damage. It always went away, so no problem, right? Wrong...

I guess it's just 'cos there's not much to report. I'm still doing my twice daily Lenire sessions and it's not really affecting my tinnitus much - but - and I've said this before - I don't get anywhere near as distressed by my whistling friend as I did before. I think this is just habituation...

I'd just like to echo the praise for @PeterPan - it's clear there's an enormous amount of work gone into this and it is greatly appreciated. I get the impression he loves stats tho' ;-) I have one completely unimportant question - one of the responders in the survey dropped out at 6 weeks...

I have a hearing impairment, no hyperacusis, have been using Lenire for 10 months now and it's done jack all for me. The positives I'm taking from this are that at least I do know it doesn't work for me in it's current form and I was fortunate enough to avoid the 1 in 5 chance of worsening...
