I think they want to get FDA approval so they can just use that title as a selling point and to show it’s safe. Levo has FDA approval and from what I’ve heard, does nothing (at least I couldn’t find any reliable user reviews).

What pisses me off is they get a news segment. Like this BS is news.

...I may be confusing myself. In the study they refer to "noise stimulus". Is this something like AudioNotch or something else? https://aja.pubs.asha.org/article.aspx?articleid=2661617 This study seems flawed to me so I am not really looking to argue the value of LEVO or not here :) Thanks all!!!

Why would you want to invest in habituation, levo is nothing more but learning to ignore tinnitus? It harms the community because it holds actual research back. Levo doesn't lower the volume it doesn't target target areas of the brain associated with tinnitus it doesn't reverse hearing loss or...

They tune it to your individual audiogram. As long as that doesn’t change they won’t need to reprogram it.

Yep they're all; BS - All of them. The Tinnitus Clinic in London may as well shut their doors with their BS desentisisation treatment or whatever and their BS ACRN... Is Pawel Jastreboff still alive? Fck em all!

...been on Triamterene -hydro for 3 weeks--thinking of stopping it it is not doing anything except causing dizziness and urination. I called last week on the Levo system, audiologist at the nearest place that offers it says I have to have it steady for at least 6 months to be considered. Great.

Yeah that's the issue. Now I'm not saying this is another LEVO, but if they had a good reduction in decibel, then why not mention it? It's possible they had the reduction, but the higher TFI number looks more impressive because there's a good measure of placebo involved in that.

...a lot for dinner, and I take the Diphen and Klonopin before I eat, so I can get the best chance at sleep. I still call out every couple weeks, there are nights when the siren will not leave me alone. As for the LEVO being crap.....I don't know if it's crap, I haven't started the therapy yet!!

The Levo is a protocol rather than a new sound therapy: The main principle is that one can use the sleep period for habituation because the auditory system never really sleeps, and thus, avoiding to "wear" the sound therapy during the day. They provide customized earbuds that supposed to...

I am seriously considering that internet trolling (like we are doing now) is the most effective way to stop these assholes.

Honestly, if this helps someone, which it clearly has helped some people, it's free and I do not see the harm in it. Personally, I think this probably works just as well as the $5,000 Levo System my audiologist was trying to sell me.

...Labor will reduce tinnitus. I included a CD that records me making these sounds. Every "Sound Therapy" (Neuromonics, SoundCure, Desyncra, The Levo System) has been proven to be well nigh worthless and no longer available. I will always chastise myself for having spent $6,200.00 on Desyncra...

...with Desyncra. There have been four Sound "Therapies": 1) Neuromonics 2) Soundcure (which I believe is out of business). 3) Desyncra 4) The Levo System The blunt realization is that sound application alone will not have a significant effect (or any at all) on tinnitus. The fact that Neuromod...

Very interesting. Never knew about this and it's at one of the best hospitals in the states which is near me. Thanks again sir. Definitely something to research more!!!

Well If money is no object, get Desynchra. They help you match your frequency, it's slightly cheaper, and it actually reduces tinnitus volume. LEVO works by not matching tinnitus FREQUENCY, but SOUND as well. That's much harder.

...going to have to do a better job of producing results and actual data sets if they ever want to sell over here. I also don't know enough about Levo or Desyncra to know if I agree with you or not; I have spoken to a good many people over the years who say ACRN is helpful to them. Whether you...

...total cost when I underwent the Desyncra "therapy" (including the hearing test) was $5,504.00. I recalled that reports regarding the cost of the LEVO System approached $6,000.00. In the US, these are regarded by Health Insurance Carriers as "investigative and experimental" and therefore not...

Funny enough my audiologist has T herself. She recommended a system called Levo but, it just came out in the States and haven’t seen any reviews from users. For $6000 you kinda want to make sure it works, lol...

Going off thread, but will UMich's device be useless for non somatic tinnitus?

...This bears all of the characteristics of going the way of every one of those other now defunct "treatments" (SoundCure, Neuromonics, The Levo System, Desyncra). How do they expect to market this? No matter how much of a gaslighting spin these Audiology Groups may place on this, how many...

To me this is an indication that they have at least some confidence in the device. A "hit 'n run" like Levo might be priced higher. Just my speculation.

Your masking music isn't crafted specifically for your T. ACRN, Levo, Windowed White Noise, and some other sound therapies are. Depends who you ask. Some people are a bit dogmatic about it.

Yeah except you've got your domains mixed: you are in the frequency domain for your broad band and narrow band spectral distributions, but you are in the time domain for your amplitude modulated signal. You can't mix data from both sides of the "FFT mirror" on the same graph. Well, you can...

...flights and travel--but this isn't Neuromod's fault. They are working on expanding. This isn't some habituation device--and even if it was, it's still a lot cheaper than things that aim only to promote habituation such as the Levo system and Neuromonics, which can be up to $5,000 for sound...

Didn't the FDA approve Levo and Desyncra? (I may be wrong). What kind of peer review did they have for those devices if that was indeed the case? As far as I understand, those treatments weren't very successful, so if the FDA approved those treatments, FDA approval wouldn't seem very relevant...

With every veteran with tinnitus getting covered for the Levo device, I guess they're realising they better find something better and cheaper as quickly as possible. Don't know if the VA and USA Defense Dept. share their budget though...

...way as you. After research, and mulling, and opinions from others, I've come to the conclusion that I'm not paying for the iPod, as much as the LEVO software R&D, FDA support, and a full year of basically unlimited ENT visits and unlimited communication with doctors. It is much money, that...

...critical. How to handle nights when there is no sleep is even more critical. Last night I got about 4 hours. The Klonopin helps greatly. My best hope is the Otoharmonics Levo device, but it's not easy for my brain to adapt to the unit yet. I'm only on day 3, so this will be a work in...

...than my orotund commentaries ever could. However, I am convinced that within one year Lenire will go the way of SoundCure, Neuromonics, The Levo System and Desyncra (who have long since been out of business). Like those, Lenire will be exorbitantly expensive and will do little or nothing...

...You sound like you've tried most therapies out there. I'm wondering if you've tried The Tinnitus Clinic. They've got the license for the Levo System too now and state that they will charge £500 for the earphones, even if you cancel the treatment. This is obscene of course and makes me dubious...

That's residual inhibition. It was originally intended to use this to reduce tinnitus but the concept failed. So they only did the next logical thing and rebranded a nonworking product anyways :^)

...injections. If it's a brain-generated tone, they are at a wall. The best teaching hospitals on the East Coast are completely stumped. My doctors are so sympathetic, they are giving me any drug I ask for, but there is nothing else we can test. LEVO just received clearance for the VA hospitals.

Assume it’s same approach as Levo. You have to go to an audiologist to test your hearing and create a profile for you which they use to configure the machine. Also assume that you have to pay for “tune ups” over the 12 months :)

...potentially coming. She did give me the option of trying "Sound Options". http://www.soundoptionstt.com/ She said it is not notch or like LEVO and she has seen success in around 40% of people. It's a flip of the coin so she was not promising much. Has anyone used this? I searched the...

I didn’t think about the 12 week treatment time. That’s three additional months just to hear real world results.

If results aren’t acceptable this device could have a bad reputation before it’s even approved for sale outside of Ireland or Europe.

Then you have things like the Levo system, which apparently focuses on the tinnitus frequency, I believe. Yet notching theory says not to do that. ACRN doesn't do it either. It's a bit confusing. To frequency focus or not to frequency focus, that is the question it seems, when it comes to home...

I had SoundCure which turned out to be a dud. I think they went belly up according to an audiologist I had seen. LEVO I had never heard about, so I will reserve judgment to whomever tries it. Keep us updated @Jon Rhynard. I've just ordered hearing aids with masker from this place. They program...

...studies are done the higher the likelihood outcome of good results for humans. If you can't wait that long, go to the tinnitus clinic and pay £5,000 for a Levo or a desyncra that's about as flaky as a custard slice whether it work or not. No thanks - professional, lengthy trails first, always.

From that description, it sounds like they are similar in aspects to the study using amplitude modulated sounds. There's not a lot of talk on TT about Levo or its rate of success. I'm presuming it's low, otherwise our community would be shouting its praises from the rooftops.

I just got the Levo System. My audiologist didn't even know how to use it. Guess he was trained a week ago. You have to know what tone you have. How can you do that when it changes from day to day. So I picked a sound and slept with it. Now my brain feels like it is going explode. And you...

Thanks @carlover! Do you see yourself trying out the Levo system through the clinic? Or are you done with iPod and earpiece sound therapies?

Another failed attempt to find relief. The Levo system was a bust. Returned it for a refund. Terribly annoying to listen to the sound of your own tinnitus. Also the pitch was set too low and my protests were largely ignored in that regard. Wouldn't recommend this. Thankfully I've reached...

What happened to all the members that tried LEVO? They never report back.

...sure if he meant volume), another man said his tinnitus reduced in volume and he can barely hear it anymore... that's definitely not just another habituation device like the Levo system if these people are telling the truth. The device does not work for everyone but Neuromod isn't claiming that.

I am guessing a lot of it has to do with cost. It's a decent amount of money for people especially without guaranteed results. Personally I have appointments coming up this month to try some of these therapies. I can post my results ....

...The name change from ‘MuteButton’ to Lenire or whatever it is now that is careful to promise nothing in the title and sounds horribly like Levo. 4 grand for what is ostensibly a cheap Walkman... Bit weird huh that it’s the same price as its two useless predecessors ACRN and Levo. Especially...

From Desyncra's website: It’s tried and tested: Over 4000 patients have been treated with amazing results, reducing symptoms like loudness and annoyance, and quite often making the tinnitus disappear completely. Many clinics and doctors all over the world are already using Desyncra™ for...

@dayma The Levo system does not offer anything that justifies the many thousand of dollars they ask from you. Matching your T sound, and playing it while you are sleeping is far from state-of-the-art technology. You can do the same with your smartphone and some comfortable bluetooth...

My GP told me he has tinnitus after I told him i have it. Not sure if I believe him though, as the next time we talked about it i'm pretty sure he had a different sound than the first time. Not saying your audiologist is lying, but I reckon a lot of medical professionals say they have it when it...

...weren't stupid with this choice of words, they're just scammers. All this for the reasonable price of... $5,700!? (https://www.janlmayes.com/levo-system-new-tinnitus-therapy/) If it cost a few hundred that would be fine but that's more than Desynchra, and Desynchra actually does something...

That would be LEVO I guess. Sorry you wasted your money but I understand, it is offered by a number of tinnitus clinics and one is desperate to get better from this @#$%

...2015 . 11.200 Hz. I got it measured at the tinnitus clinic at 200 quid. They told me it was too high freq for cr neuro modulation, but now the levo system may be more suited for me. Playing at the same freq and intensity while you sleep at a cost of 5500 pound. Why not just use a freq...

...NDT with your doctor, to see if it helps with the tinnitus. I have spoken to a few people that didn't develop tinnitus until after taking Levo. Difficult to say in their cases whether or not it was the Levo, or thyroid problems that caused it though (or neither), as they weren't so obvious...

Hi do you have an update on LEVO? I'm new to this forum. I've have T for 7 yrs now. I had bad fatigue first, then Tinnitus started 2 months after that. I've had both now for yrs. Mine is also coming from the brain. :-( And I agree about sleep. If I sleep a lot I can (barely) manage this...

...but for some reason it started bugging me again about two weeks ago. Not sure if it got louder or I’m just paying more attention to it for some reason. I went to an audiologist and she suggested a TRT treatment called Levo. It’s pretty expensive at $6000 USD. Would be great to hear your...

I am now 3 months in and have yet to start. My update sucks, but here it is. I started on Levo, and the device stopped working an hour or two in, every night. I thought it was something I was doing wrong. Every night I would put the unit on, hear the frequency, and try to sleep. When I...

Hi, I have booked an appointment with a place here in NYC that uses this system among others. Mine is a work mans comp case and they said they will take it. I do need some assistant on this. Just found out about this on this form today so we will see. Keep you posted. Best Denis
