Why don't you contact Peter Tass and let him know about Tinnitus Quest and the funding pipeline?

Yes, she was asked about this, and I believe the first time she referred to the "cross-over" effect was during the Tinnitus Hub Q&A. If you remember, at that time (a couple of years ago), she was asked specifically about the group that underwent the active treatment in weeks 13-18, and how...

Look forward to it (y) As it happens, E... I was frying with one of our pans a couple of weeks ago when the handle fell off. Ended up covered in onions, so I'm on the market for a decent new skillet. I picked some leaves this afternoon, having found this recipe, to try out, with steak and the...

Your wish is my command, D lol. Tried to grow some broccoli from seed this year. Hopefully, by Xmas, there'll be a bit more on the crown than this current state of affairs. You're never far away from my thoughts, @tpj, and likewise, it's always nice to hear from you.

I couldn't disagree more with this point. We ought to be way past contextualizing tinnitus science in this way. Providers of tinnitus treatment devices really should position themselves to complete the following most basic question with a binary answer: Does your device reduce the volume of...

Now that the dust has settled a little further over these past few days, I would like to say that the thing that still p*sses me off perhaps the most about the way this whole situation has played out is the chart below (which I'm finding increasingly difficult to locate online - but maybe that's...

All good here, D. I drop in every now and then, and am always pleased to read you're OK. Sending you a hug. @Elmer B Fuddled, glad to hear everything's clear, E. All the best to you and Mrs EBF.

I think it would have really helped if they had at least informed us prior that they haven't submitted to the FDA. When I discovered that fact, I asked a specific question about the last trial and whether or not the issues with the cross-over data would necessitate a third trial. Unfortunately...

I often feel like that just before going away. A couple of years ago, on holiday, reactive tinnitus underlined the entire trip. But in retrospect, I figured it was better to have endured the spike in the sun with a beer rather than at home, where it was going to do its thing spiking anyway...

It's small moments like this that enable us to claw our way out of the dark with reactive tinnitus, which is a very difficult condition to manage. For me, it's been a very slow road this time round; probably about five or so years. I think everybody's path is different. If the me from today...

There's definitely a psychology to dealing with tinnitus. Perhaps more so where worsenings after long periods of stability are concerned. My tinnitus was stable for circa 25 years until it went off like a crazy firework (including reactivity) after excessive headphone use about 7 years ago. So...

Stick to facts. Auricle are either moving forward with what they have (a product where the blinding process has not been tested), or they're going to have to re-run the trial. If they re-run the trial, they must either crossover (in line with their original promise to do proper science...

Interpreting a demand for the gold-standard science we have been promised as a lack of empathy is one of the most inverted comments I've read on here. Over the years, I've seen good, knowledgeable people driven away from these forums by that kind of tone. You should take your grievance up with...

Are you advocating for the release of a less-rigorously tested device? I think the trial design went wrong, definitely. As for the device, beyond timing changes, I don't really see how much road they have left in terms of developing it.
