Well, nowhere did we read '10.9 dB and then stop'. We only read 'up to 10.9 dB in 12 weeks,' so we HOPE that more weeks mean more reduction. I hope so, especially for those who are more severe.

In any case, I would totally exclude the possibility that the device is a scam. If Auricle's goal was to "get our money," they could have simply published everything quickly. Unfortunately, we are not CEOs of a multimillion-dollar company about to launch a potentially revolutionary product on...

With all due respect, @Bart, but your opinion (as well as mine and that of 99% of people) and the opinion of any audiologist/ENT specialist don't seem to matter much compared to a twenty-year study and the opinion of someone with multiple degrees who has dedicated 2/3 of her life to tinnitus...

For me, @AnthonyMcDonald remains one of the most rational people on Tinnitus Talk, even if his manners are sometimes a bit rough. I fully understand the anxiety and frustration of the more severe cases, who have all my support, but let's try not to be repetitive, pessimistic, and...

If you read the Q&A by Susan Shore, she specifies that there were no side effects (except a little discomfort from the electrodes at the beginning, until you get used to it) and that the worsening present in the graph was due to exposure to loud noises (such as concerts) during treatment.

Why do you think it shouldn't work for low-frequency tones?

From what I understand (but I could be mistaken), in some people, there is a spontaneous return of potassium channels to "normal," but for those with chronic tinnitus like us, this doesn't happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but some studies have demonstrated that, when a neural injury occurs (for example, due to acoustic trauma), there is a temporary reduction in the activity of Kv7.2/Kv7.3 channels, which can lead neurons to become pathologically active, right?

I don't know precisely what you mean by static electricity in the dark or on dark surfaces. I've described various visual symptoms to my eye doctor (not just floaters), and she explained that these are very common things. I don't want to disrespect anyone; I just wanted to share my perspective...

Thank you, very kind of you :) but mine was a rhetorical question, no desire to discuss it here in this thread. I know that surgery has been used (or at least considered) for "specific" cases and not as a "definitive" solution for everyone or the majority. Regarding the Shore device, do you...

Aside from wanting to cut the auditory nerve decades ago (when research was practically nonexistent), what other surgeries have been proposed (just curious)? Anyway, now that we've discussed more or less every doubt and have no new information since July, this "silence" is agonizing, haha.

I wanted to write this to reassure some people. This is not to belittle anyone's symptoms. I only noticed some symptoms (floating and dots) when I read about these things on the forum, I probably always had them but anxiety and stress made them more evident. I asked my ophthalmologist...

Yes, no studies for any specific condition, they talk about "any neurological and brain condition". For them, the ideal candidate (they said) must be under 30 years old and have all 4 limbs paralyzed. I think this is a "marketing" choice and a desire to show the enormous potential of the...

I don't know if this discussion is still of interest to you but did you see that Musk got clearance from the FDA and the recruitment phase opened on September 19th? Neuralink said it wants to implant 11 chips by the end of the year and 22,000 chips by 2030. The operation is so delicate and...

More likely but not certain. Let's hope so.

I don't think money is an issue. However, I read on the thread that it "probably" won't be "DeNovo" because there has already been Lenire (which AT LEAST ON PAPER is a "similar" device).

In the Q&A Dr. Shore said that she and other members of Auricle are working, "under the expert guidance of Jon Pearson", to obtain FDA approval.

There is no official news about it. The more positive among us think a release between 1 and 2 years. According to the pessimists, 3 to 5 years. According to those catastrophists, it will never come out. The study is now finished. Dr. Shore said she is co-founder and chief scientific officer...

I don't want to say something stupid but didn't the doctor use TinnTester (by Larry Roberts)? It doesn't seem like just a simple "subjective evaluation." It seems rather reductive as a description, but I could obviously be wrong too.

Useless controversy in which among other things you don't even understand what I'm saying, the discussion was already over this morning and you're still continuing? I just said that, for now, I rely on what the doctor says without obviously expecting great things and I try to be a little...

Yes, unfortunately in the Q&A she answered that severe hearing loss would preclude use of the device, but she also said that the sound could be effective as long as one ear can hear it. I hope for you that it won't get any worse until the device comes out. A stupid question: Could hearing...

Having mild or moderate tinnitus does not make my thoughts any less important than someone who has severe tinnitus. The point is that talking about negative things, circulating pessimism, criticizing research, denying science, downplaying the results of one of the most important research...

It's pretty much the main topic on the New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery. There is no precise news on when it will be released, although the studies are finished, and therefore there is a bit of general panic lately... with some thinking it will be released within 6 months and others...

Thank you for the advice. In reality, it was a gradual process... for about 8 months, I always slept with sound enrichment. Then I went to work in a tourist village, and to not disturb my colleagues, I started sleeping without anything... luckily it was summer, and there were fans that...

I have tinnitus caused by excessive headphone use since November 2022. Fortunately, my hearing is 100% healthy with no hearing loss, but for several months, I've had a very bothersome and difficult-to-mask tinnitus. In the early months, I could hear it despite using very loud white noise, but as...

I'm only relying on the hypotheses of an expert, not reading more into what she has actually said, and I don't expect miracles. I specified why some people worsened because there was alarmism on certain pages. I used the term "cured" in quotes because I couldn't find a suitable term at that...

You've perfectly understood how some users behave on this forum, my friend.

And anyway, Dr. Shore's device represents a revolution in any case. If truly 15% of the world's population suffers from tinnitus (1.2 billion out of 8 billion), and of those, 70% have somatic tinnitus (840,000,000), and 53% of them are "cured" (445,200,000), how can one complain about such...

Is there a difference between being cautiously optimistic and questioning every response given by Dr. Shore. If she has said it's possible, she must have her reasons to believe it's possible... of course, I don't expect miracles. For accuracy and precision, it should also be noted that the...

Yes, but I would like to remind everyone that a "10.9 dB reduction in 12 weeks" doesn't simply mean a "10.9 dB reduction and stop". I specify this because many seem to want to convey this idea... It doesn't even make sense to say "It's little," it would have been little (actually not) if it had...

Indeed, more and more often we read speculations and negative theories on this thread... then I remember that those who write are often ordinary people with no qualifications or expertise in this field. I have the feeling that most of them haven't even read (or understood) the interview with...
