Even people in fossil fuel industries that want to suppress cleaner energy technologies, at least know about them... ;)

Precisely. Like fine, be sceptical, but why aren't you interested in it or aware of it at the very least? Susan Shore is not some nobody in a shed.

I'd expect Neurotologists to follow this, not audiologists.

Audiologists are basically technicians. They perform tests and fit hearing aids. Same as a guy that runs the MRI machine.
Drone Draper
Interesting.
GSC
ew. but aren't the audiologist the way that are suppose to implement your audiogram into the device. it feels like something that the industry should want to know about though if they wanna help ppl
Drone Draper
Yeah, this is what interests me. Obviously I would like to try Neuromod, but the local audiologists haven't even heard of it.

So I would likely have to travel, either internationally (e.g. Dublin) or domestically in order to get the device.
GSC
did your audiologist at least take an interest in and file it down for a future reference like oh this can help. if not, they're a horrible audiologist. if you have a good one, they'd wanna learn and provide w/e they can to help you.
GSC
hopefully there's a good one somewhere in your area. though if you're going to reputable ones then that's just.... sad...
Tom Cnyc
guys, I hate to say it - but audiologists have seen many treatments come and go. they may not dig into every one b/c this excitement has happened multiple times before. T is new to you, not them.
Drone Draper
She didn't have the slightest interest. She said there were many companies in this industry (to my knowledge, bimodal stimulation is pretty small?) and none of them have proved success in large studies.
Tom Cnyc
if this gets FDA approved and works even 15% of the time, some pharma sales rep will be in their door every 3 days. they dont need tos tay on top of this.
Tom Cnyc
she is referencing the ACRN companies. which is 1/2 the teratment.
Tom Cnyc
temper your expectations gentlemen. bi-modal was tried before with sound + vagus nerve. T still exists.
