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

    This is exactly what it is. "Professionally" hyped quack junk. Neosensory is going to make their millions off of the backs of sufferers while a few handful of us report improvements. All of those improvements will be from placebo or they would have happened regardless of using this quack device.
