One potential problem would be if the device works, but you have to keep using it to maintain the benefits, then people won't want to quit using the device and pass it on to others. I think @linearb, who was in the first clinical trial, said his tinnitus returned to its old baseline a few days...
Thanks for checking. I'm sure many here would appreciate it if you posted here if you find anything related.
I've been wondering how the news would get out since, evidently, there is no official channel.
While that may be true, we do know that in2being made the devices used in the clinical trials.
On the linked website, it also says:
That is possibly what @ploughna was referring to.
I agree with this, mostly. Silence itself causes just as much if not more, speculation and disappointment than a bit more transparency.
That being said, they are evidently under the impression that any comment they make could negatively affect the FDA process.
As for the company's running...
I wouldn't want anyone other than Susan Shore working on this. She is not one of the "wrong people," in my opinion.

Read that. That should explain the current silence, which has a side effect of not needing a website.
Right now, it means they are awaiting FDA approval, which they have absolutely zero control over. They have said they are avoiding talking about the process for fear of saying something that may risk or delay the approval process. This doesn't mean they have or have not started the manufacturing...
Yeah, even cynically, if this is a "scam" or doesn't work, why not release it and make some quick cash off the early adopters before the word spreads about how "it doesn't work"? The fact that this is not what they did tells me they believe in it enough to do everything "by the book." We may not...
OK, so an update and a few more questions:
Last week, I finally reached a point where I had started to habituate; I was actually able to ignore it at times and get back to a more "normal" life.
I ordered some Earasers earplugs (a relative with tinnitus recommended them), as they allow sound...
Just to clarify, if you mean white noise sound therapy at night, I have not started using white noise at night, or any sound therapy yet during the day or night. Still trying to figure out what I need to do. If you just meant the tinnitus itself, then yes, it hasn't interrupted my sleep habits...
Hello. My name's Chris, and I just joined, as I am relatively new to tinnitus (3 weeks now), and wanted to share my story and get advice/support. I'm 48 y/o with no significant hearing issues before.
It all started 3 weeks ago (February 16, 2024), as my family and I settled in front of the TV...
