    Hearing Aids

    I have Signia hearing aids and had no idea this even existed! I want to believe that you're a real person who experienced real results rather than a shill for Signia simply trying to get them more sales as this is your one and only post on this forum so yes, please post your paper in this thread...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I had originally been scheduled to fly to Ireland from the US about a year ago. I was then denied treatment due to my hearing loss several months prior to my trip. At the time I was crushed. However, after returning to this forum after a long layoff and scrolling through this thread and the...

    Tinnitus Masking: In-Ear Maskers

    Mine is a symphony of sounds. High pitched hissing, some wooshing, roaring... it's all over the place. And it's also in my head... not just in my ear. It's very bad and it's always changing in frequency and intensity. My 2 cents: I think that for a hearing aid with a masker to provide any...

    Tinnitus Masking: In-Ear Maskers

    I don't know if hearing aids with maskers qualify as in-ear maskers but ever since I started wearing mine, it's been a lifesaver for me. I've een wearing mine for about a year. I have moderate to severe hearing loss so just amplifying external sounds helps with the tinnitus and with my ears not...

    Lion's Mane Mushroom

    Why would someone post something like this and then never update? This is her last 2 posts on this forum in fact. It's cruel. Unless she offed herself in which case... understandable.

    Suicidal

    I'm glad this thread exists. A place where we can post about a taboo topic without having anything to worry about. Personally I've been at the end of my rope for many many years. Severe tinnitus + moderate/ severe hearing loss + other health issues. I was very close to offing myself but have...

    Can Cross-Over Hearing Aides Help?

    I have no idea what cross over hearing aids are but I have been trialing hearing aids for about a month and so far they have helped a lot with my tinnitus. Just having more external inupt coming into my ears is helping lessen the intensity of the tinnitus. The tinnitus maskers help as well...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    If that's the same thing as bone conduction, part of the test it tested out at 20-40 dB.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Not home for several days but I remember it was 40-60 dB on the lower frequencies and 60-90 dB on the higher. With left ear performing worse than the right.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I've been denied treatment due to my level of hearing loss. After months and months of hope for this treatment all I can say is this royally sucks. Finding out now stings a lot but I would have been beyond frustrated/upset if I had spent all this money to travel from the US West Coast only...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    After receiving neither a confirmation for my appointment nor a response to my questions I just ended up getting an international calling card and calling them. The lady with whom I spoke with surprisingly knew my name and said that she just hadn't gotten around to emailing me. She said they're...

    Has anyone on here from US or Canada received an appointment invitation earlier than October/ November?

    Parasym — tVNS Device

    Different mechanism. Neuromod works through the trigeminal nerve. This other one works on vagus nerve. I believe studies showed that only tonal tinnitus saw improvement with vagus nerve stimulation...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Thanks for the reply. Neuromod is very similar to the PoNS device treatment in that they're both targeting the somatosensory system via the tongue. However I can't figure out if their auditory simulations are the same. I'm aware Neuromod's is based on one's hearing loss and not on the levels of...

    The PoNS™ (Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator) Device and Neuroplasticity — Can It Help Tinnitus?

    They're very similar in that they're both targeting the somatosensory system via the tongue. However I don't know if there auditory simulations are the same. I'm aware Neuromod's is based on one's hearing loss and not on the levels of one's tinnitus. According to the case study posted in this...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Will people from the US be able to travel to Ireland to buy the device? Sorry if this was already addressed but the thread is very long and I couldn't find anything about this in the last few pages...
