Yes, a third of us! (That is, a third of us will be experiencing more peaceful moments in the next 5-10 years.) And this only applies to a relatively privileged group. Are you well-paid? Do you have a degree? Do you live in North America? Is your car new? Although I don't check any of these...

I bet you've never heard the expression 'cum hoc ergo propter hoc'. I am profoundly disgusted by this Jastreboff now.

I suppose you mean bombarding their ears with noise to counter the phantom sound, which is considered no better than a placebo because the parsing of your text doesn't correspond to that. As objectionable as I find TRT, Jastreboff has never said that. To his credit, he also advocates CBT, which...

They are doing well... in an alternate universe, where somebody thought giving them $500 million was a good idea. Of course, they're fast at spending it.

This thread. Dr. Shore has responded to a lot of emails from Tinnitus Talk members.

In the medical industry, there are very few reasons to link an actor's external communication with their commitments. At this point, it's equally reliable that Auricle will announce intent to run a new trial (which will last five years) or that they will "temporarily" suspend all activity...

Given that you can find a movie with enough ambiance (not easy for movies, especially action movies, even with Atmos) and minimal music, essentially, what's the difference - quantitative or qualitative - of immersion between a movie and real life? 5.1 is crap compared to 7.1. I watched the...

I'm astonished Michael Kilgard's job at the university goes unchallenged, given the extent of his scientifically unsound claims, that is, lies.

Yes, we are all aware of this announcement.

This will not be submitted in Q1. Be sure to ask your dad to explain to you "marketing", "public relations", "hype", "spin".

Estimated completion date: June 30. 2023. Still, nothing.

"hence", "so" What's the difference? I didn't want to use many words.

Fun fact: Homer Simpson's tinnitus is 764 Hz. He also has a second tone, around 11000 Hz, which is somewhat lower than mine. My second-most annoying one clocks at a mere 100 Hz.

Give Hubert Lim a Nobel Prize. Give Ross O'Neill more money.

Really? Who knows! We can expect more incompetence and corruption from regulators who are loose enough to approve Lenire.

You could buy plane tickets.

Even fewer of us understand the meaning of the word 'market-ready'. Is it newspeak?

I found numerous allusions floating around, including your own, but after a systematic and sustained effort to find the alleged quote I was referring to, I'm fairly convinced it doesn't exist in this thread. If it exists, perhaps it's from an interview around December-January. (It is nowhere to...

There are numerous entries in this thread where concerns about the DeNovo status after Lenire are being raised, as you can ascertain by google searching this thread. As to their merit, I'm not the expert on that. Some random examples: ---------- Regardless if it's a requirement or not...

DeNovo is different from compassionate care use? If that be not the case, it's fair to say that you've been served: What is the matter with you? I'm fairly confident there was a statement by Dr. Shore that they weren't going to submit their device to the FDA before publishing the paper, the...

Maybe @Markku could obtain their take on this, without prying too much into their timeline.

Saw X last weekend. The plot was... very symbolic. Scam artists eating each other. There oughta have been a character named Lenire. You have prolonged the suffering of millions of people. Your stratagems have delayed Dr. Shore's treatment by years, as you have opportunistically snatched away the...

Plausible deniability, huh. Sadly, I find the OP's post of an insufficient erudition for predicting the effects of pure tones, hence, it smacks of low-effort and argument from incredulity.

Great. Another ten years, give or take, down the drain.

I'm going to get a cochlear implant in that case, I don't care my having no hearing loss or what anyone on Tinnitus Talk says is an appropriate or inappropriate way to treat tinnitus.

And yet they approve something like Lenire, and not for it being safe alone. No corruption involved!

Josef Rauschecker mentioned intravenous Lidocaine again and potentially similar drugs but with a prolonged effect, in the new Tinnitus Talk interview at Patreon. In my opinion he made it sound rather appealing, but what about the ototoxicity?

Believing my English on par with my native language (Swedish), the sentence is still not easy to grasp. The ways this could be parsed are as following: A) The author thinks it'd be surprising if these things were no longer moving at a snail's pace, even now. B) The author thinks the reason you...

I'm currently looking at religion, self-help books, Propofol, strong liquors, and fire. These are the realistic options to look at, near-term. Very strange and ambiguous the way you phrase "It's been a decade". Is English your first language?

Not this codswallop again, for the 53249nth time... Take almost any ailment, at any time from the past two decades, and you seem to be always 3-5 years away, tops, from a breakthrough treatment. Younger people can easily afford to lose 3-5 years and still be reasonably hot stuff, but once you're...

It wouldn’t surprise me either if Dr. Shore’s device was out 2026-2027... Should create a website called FDAexposed by then, on why it took several years to approve the Michigan Device, and the corruption within the FDA that must have been involved with the approval of Neuroscam.

Those who responded positively to Amitriptyline, how long (hours, minutes) after ingesting would you say you found relief?

Who were the most likely dropouts of each group? Does getting the active treatment first push you to drop out for different reasons than if you had gotten the sham from the outset? For instance, were those who got the sham first (Group 2) more likely than the other group to drop out because of...

The "supplemental content" leaf is a vast resource of all sorts of tables, before anyone asks more questions about participants. For instance: Not entirely sure we haven't seen before the following, but we might learn more in Supplement 2: Trial Protocol and Statistical Analysis (last updated...

And the end of Neuroscam a.k.a. Lenire.

It's the dangling carrots, man. Sure, there's fewer of them than there were a few years back, but that might be an indicator that they've got really some merit to them. And there are still cochlear implants if nothing pans out. (I could probably never afford one myself, and I actually don't know...

I think we've said everything there is to say regarding @linearb. See page 145 and 149.

Calm down, you're making me spike.

Well, it's everybody or no-one if this gets covered by NHS. Hopefully there are enough disabled people so the NHS won't consider an emotionally stable life merely a luxury. (If the Auricle lives up to expectations, I'll be looking forward stories of dismissive ENTs/GPs here.) It might not be an...

They're totally logical, since when? Besides, coverage for tinnitus also means coverage for those who don't 'need' treatment. Eh, I suppose since I am able to work full weeks or at least can't (without malingering) get leave from work, we're talking coverage for treatment which from their...

It is a good study. It shows that it does not work.

And why on earth should you believe the clinical trials were to be successful and so firmly as to give them half a billion? Because 'they said it works'; you should take their word?

Hence there's no point really telling anyone about it. I did tell a few people ten years ago, but after that I've mentioned it barely to anyone, they've forgotten about it. Over the years I think I really got to know them a lot better, as most people are quick to judge others for their life...

The wide gap between decrease in loudness and TFI? (Is that because the average person with tinnitus is not greatly bothered by it?)

Is there a punchline?

@ErikaS, the ENT is almost making it sound like that "little high ring" is gonna go away in mere months. If it eventually goes away or gets better, you've gotta be careful not to risk a new setback, which is the part where I messed up. After I developed bilateral tinnitus and hyperacusis in...

There's really not much substance behind this "x can benefit from y" and "x can respond very well to y" claptrap (pay us and you can find out!), and saying how adaptive the brain is. So tinnitus can respond well to any sound therapy or new-age diet etc. It can also spontaneously get better on...

Depends, will the thingamajig be yours to keep right from the launch, or will the treatment be administered exclusively at clinics in the early stages? My worst fear is it's gonna be this timeline: FDA approval --> US launch --> Paperwork --> Aaaaand then, some paperwork --> Overseas launch.

Who are 'we'? Practically, this won't be accessible to most non-Americans for ages, not with their current infrastructure. I don't suppose there are too many foreigners who can afford to reside on US terrain for the whole duration of the treatment, on top of covering for the flight and then the...

On the contrary, sustaining evidence isn't what they need help with. I bet with their current approach, they could rapidly concoct a mountain of evidence consistent with an effective treatment for any hearing-related condition (not excluding tinnitus) at the whiff of profit. That's where the...

That $500 million should go to someone like Josef Rauschecker instead.

Supposing that saving lives is in any of the FDA's interests, it's pretty utopistic that any institution would accredit self-harm to anything except mental illness - as in, any normal, healthy person should be able to cope with a 90 dB constant noise in their ears.

Let's get to the bottom of this claim. The only indication of any effectiveness I found on FDA.gov is this: "FDA believes that class II (special) controls provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device type." (source) The press releases include several mentions of...

To shield oneself from one disappointment, people were then telling themselves that if one of these treatments don't pan out, another will, and very soon. The user @weab00's reasoning in 2020 seemed contingent on nothing but optimism and hope. I'm not sure if he was serious or tongue-in-cheek...

Source?

It's because tinnitus is a complete joke to society and regulators. It's funny when you suffer.

It took me 6 years to get to the point where it was very low. Not 3. Unfortunately, it got worse once again due to noise exposure. I never took any drug.

'Hypothesis based approach'. I don't know where you pulled that. If you were to ask us whether the earth is flat or ball-shaped, I bet we could produce evidence equally scientific and logical in support of both hypotheses. Since we're now doing a 'hypothesis based approach'.

Explore? Why can't I personally explore this now at some European clinic willing to take my money? There's plenty of clinics willing to inflict all kinds of unproven but relatively harmless things on you for any affliction you might think of.
