    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Lenire can NEVER make a THI of 75 to a THI of 15-20. If Tom Blomfield really did have a THI of 75, he probably wouldn't have been able to work for three years and would have sunk into depression. (I tested Lenire here in Munich back in 2021; it did nothing, zero.)

    Silencio Software with Haptic/Vibrating Headphones Provide Sound and Somatosensory Stimulation

    Auditory Mirror Therapy for Treatment of Tinnitus

    Sensorion, the Specialist in Inner Ear Diseases, to Start Human Clinical Trial Phase

    I think 95% of Tinnitus Talk members have tinnitus that just can't be ignored. We would be grateful if we were in your situation, where the tinnitus is so slight that it is always noticeable, but can be ignored when distracted.

    Neosensory — Bimodal Stimulation Device for Tinnitus: Any Reviews? A Scam or Not?

    First: mathematically there is no 11/10. Second: There is no 11/10 if you don't even know where your tinnitus comes from. Third: With SSHL, the tinnitus fluctuates by a maximum of 3-4 points. So you have a maximum tinnitus of 0.5 to a maximum of 4/10. Congratulations, you've only had...

    Great, thanks, I'll take advantage of that. If the device helps, you can come to Oktoberfest with us, I live 20 minutes from Munich. You'll get 16 days of food and drinks for free from me. Then you have to place the electrodes of the device on your liver :-)

    Please open fire. The clinical trial participants can now share their experiences, right? There must have been a few of us here who took part. Please share your impressions. What does tinnitus spectrum mean?

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    @linearb, how loud was the sound played on Dr. Shore's device? And is the volume of the sound based on past research (i.e. experimenting changing the volume of the sound and seeing results in animals), or is it just arbitrarily chosen somehow? With Lenire I was able to adjust the volume myself...

    You are from Poland, how did you get the device? Can you resell it to me? How else can I get the device?

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    That's nonsense. I've tested Lenire and I'm an absolute anti-Neuromod nerd. The acoustician looked at my audiogram and apparently made some adjustments to the software. Otherwise there are the same senseless sounds like piano, the sound of the sea, other instruments, etc. Complete nonsense...

    If the device works, I'll be the second one here to get a Dr. Shore tattoo. But that's not until my wedding day. I'll tell my wife that I wanted to have her picture taken, but the intern took it on for cost reasons... (I'm trying to regain my sense of humor with the news).

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I'm just the skeptic here. There are so many tinnitus studies where the participants give better values at the end, purely for psychological reasons (oh yes, someone wants to help me, I will help them too, this complicated technology, the expensively developed medication must help... etc.). It...

    Acousia Therapeutics

    I live only 100 miles from Acousia Therapeutics. I had a phone call with one of the managers about 9 months ago. He told me that I couldn't take part in the study (I'm in my early 40s). The study is for age-related hearing loss. Let's see, tinnitus is somehow genetic in my family, maybe I'll...

    Real Natural Sounds vs. Artificial Sound Generators — I Bought Crickets and Keep Them in My House

    Finally a severely affected person like me, who has such bizarre approaches with live crickets. What does your girlfriend say about that? I was in Greece for the first time last year, the crickets were so numerous, loud and persistent for 24 hours that they even drowned out my high tinnitus. I...

    A Randomized Single-Blind Controlled Trial of a Prototype Digital Polytherapeutic for Tinnitus

    Always the same. In the end, study participants give slightly better values, although the whole thing has no effect. Simply a courtesy to the provider, purely a psychological effect. The more complicated the application and the more individually tailored to you, the better values you give. This...

    Otonomy OTO-313 — Treatment of Tinnitus

    Inject me with the OTO-313 stuff. It doesn't need 158 participants who are undecided, it only needs me. I am a classic tinnitus sufferer (noise trauma). I have massive, constant tinnitus 24/7, it shivers left, right, 3D everywhere. Any minimal improvement I would attribute to OTO-313. Cost of...

    Otonomy OTO-313 — Treatment of Tinnitus

    I thought I was so close to relief from my behemoth. I could probably have participated in a Phase 3. Now it's becoming increasingly clear to me that nothing will help us ever, the interaction of hearing / nerves / brain is probably just too complex to be able to be helped by any remedies. I've...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I went to Max Bauer, Neues Hoeren Munich and bought the device. I gave it back after 6 weeks, it helped zero. I got a 66% refund. He once had a video with a guest from the US who flew over and bought the device directly from him. So you don't need a clinic, etc. I think the individual attitude...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Not exactly. Rather: if your study doctor explains to you after waking up from the new heart surgery procedure that has just been carried out - which, according to studies, has helped 95% of all participants so far - and is very complex and, above all, more expensive (which you get for free as...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    A tinnitus study without a placebo group is the most pointless thing there is. If the device didn't work, you end up choosing a bit better values because you feel guilty towards the person who wants to help you. Then it's an incredibly expensive device, so you choose better values because...

    I intended to take part in the study.

However, they only offer one study for age-related hearing loss, so I cannot...

    Auditory Mirror Therapy for Treatment of Tinnitus

    @PeterPan, I have a mobile stereo recorder Zoom H4N with simultaneous stereo headphone output. So I just turn the headphones left / right and let them half open over my ears so I get the ambient sounds 50/50.

    Auditory Mirror Therapy for Treatment of Tinnitus

    I tested it for several hours (I'm unable to work because of tinnitus and I have time), in different volumes, more surroundings, less surroundings, different sounds. What a surprise: It has zero effect on tinnitus (I have classic chronic tinnitus).

    Auditory Mirror Therapy for Treatment of Tinnitus

    Well, actually it shouldn't be that hard to test. I have a mobile stereo recorder that you can connect headphones to. I'll set it up in the garden and then simply swap on the headphones, which allow enough outside noise to pass through (no over-ear headphones), left and right. Let's see what...

    Auditory Mirror Therapy for Treatment of Tinnitus

    I don't get it. If I swap left and right, then the headphones also pick up the ambient noise on the left and right, how fully can you swap that?

    Xenon Pharmaceuticals' XEN1101 — Kv7 Potassium Channel Modulator

    Haha, I would also have to lie to take part in the study because my depression is severely severe, so I would have to lie that I only have moderate depression. I would not falsify the results. Haha, my psychotherapist (actually quite a good one) also says I should downplay the stressful things...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Low starting values allow much more improvement through habituation. In addition, all that is hardly meaningful without a placebo group. There are purely psychological effects of giving better values at the end of the study because you think hey someone wanted to help me, I'll help them too.

    NeuroVR Device: Neurofeedback to Treat Tinnitus

    Stop with such a nonsense device. There won't be a placebo group in the study, so a study is pretty much worthless. It will never, ever help people with classic severe tinnitus. If it would only help me minimally, I would eat a broom in the presence of the company founder.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Both studies are simply useless, reasons: - Purely psychological effects: a) Study participants who know that they are using an expensive device think that it must have a use. And if you don't see any improvement, just enter 10 THI points better. b) Study participants tend to mark better...
