That's what happened when I got tested there. You wear earphones, and they play a sound like the ocean, which then goes silent. I was amazed at how much louder my tinnitus was right after the sound stopped. Then, it gradually died down until the next sound played.

I feel as if the trial is for the hardware component of the chip. They would certainly be able to improve software in those six years. It would be interesting to see if they still need 6 year long trials for implanting the chip in the brain, and who's to say they cannot be trialed all at the...

Such an L take.

Chief, how's your hair after 7 months of treatment?

The Phase 2 results are the perfect example of looking at a half-full glass, looking at the first active treatment, vs. looking at the second active treatment. Which overshadows which? The first active group had a continuous improvement trajectory until the 6 weeks were up. Is it fair to assume...

The TFI and THI tests look extremely subjective. TFI (PDF) THI (PDF) The TFI looks a lot more rigorous than the THI. If I had to do both tests everyday, they would vary so much, despite my tinnitus being the same volume. We crucially need an objective way to measure tinnitus, I guess dB...

Eh, not the nicest feeling. However, I wonder if the remaining 35% could have benefited had they done more weeks of treatment? I don't see how it's impossible to think that their brains were adapting a bit slower.

That would be a disservice to the billions of humans throughout history that suffered with this condition.

Your points are valid, and I agree that at the outset, AI is indeed limited by the initial knowledge we input and teach it. However, the power of AI, particularly when it comes to AGI, lies in its capacity for exponential learning and self-improvement. In contrast to human researchers who...

Seems only the ENT's with tinnitus will be interested in it :LOL: that seems to be the big difference between a good one and a bad one with tinnitus. I hate to gatekeep, but unless you have this condition, it's extremely hard to comprehend one's perspective with it.

Ain't going to lie, my heart skipped a beat for a second.

Get yourself an Apple Watch SE 2, it has a decibel meter on it. Makes judging sound extremely easy.

Once this treatment comes out, I'm going to ask the Bionics Institute if they want to do a pre-treatment scan. Then I'll fly to the United States, do the 12 weeks of treatment and go back down to Melbourne for a post-treatment scan. It would make concrete evidence if they can visibly see the...

I doubt international people would need stay in the US for the whole 12 week treatment cycle.

It's been 5 months since the December presentation. She really wasn't kidding about the publication taking up to 6 months.

I think I have something similar, although it's really rare. It's happened 3 times since getting tinnitus in last May. All of them at night while watching TV. Really freaks me the fuck out. They always subside when I go to bed and wake up. First 2 times I had to take Valium to calm down (because...

@Nick47, you are a powerhouse with keeping the community updated. Thank you for your time and energy.

Everyday it is seeming more obvious, that AI is going to beat humans to the ball at figuring out tinnitus (except perhaps Dr. Shore), hearing loss, basically everything. It's easy to go down the rabbit hole with AI. But the fact is, GPT4 is something else, and it's going to get better at an...

Seems the closer Dr. Shore's device gets, the harder the wait is. Assuming good results after its release, how many non-Americans are going to fly over to the United States? I'm certainly not waiting the 100 years it will take for Australia to get its hands on it. Give this message a thumbs up...

The more money that gets into tinnitus research, the faster a cure will become available.

I wouldn't look too much into it. Honestly, it makes for a good enough scare campaign to stop potential new sufferers (considering for some of us, it would have taken nothing short of your own self time traveling back into the past to warn you). They are still definitely keen on a cure, as...

You do understand that's the case for most trials, this one included. Very hypocritical to acknowledge the suffering of animals from Neuralink, but disregard the countless animals that have been blasted with incredibly loud sounds to give them tinnitus in this scientific study.

The test was very straightforward and easy. Here's a link to the Pilot study, this can explain it a lot better than I can. It basically consisted of 3 separate tests. A six-minute recording where you just relax as much as you can. A short break. Another recording where you have earphones in...

I'll email Michelle to see if I can fully explain the test here. I just want to be respectful if they want to be discreet about the trial.

It was great to be a participant in this experiment. Now the Bionics Institute has a little bit more data that can help them on their quest to measure tinnitus.

Anyone agree with this? if the cure rate is less than 50%, it's not worth that much. 50-80% and you'd pay a decent amount of change for a chance. And a certain 100% cure, you'd drop an exponential amount more.

Who wants to guess: How much will Dr. Shore's device cost What year will it be released in Closest answer gets bragging rights.

I look forward to picking the guns up again one day. Just isn't worth the risk of accidentally shooting one off without hearing protection. I'll wait until there is a cure.

This is why being able to measure subjective tinnitus is almost as crucial as curing tinnitus. We wouldn't be having opinions on how well or bad the TFI is. We are getting very close thanks to the Bionics Institute and a couple of other companies around the globe, where you could literally see...

Thought experiment: If tomorrow, you could get Neuralink installed, that completely stopped your tinnitus for $10,000, would you do it?

I'm just flying down, not worrying about the noise. I guess I'm in the fortunate majority of tinnitus sufferers, where life goes on in terms of noise (considering 10% of the population has tinnitus). Still careful around really loud noises though.

I'm flying down from Queensland in January to get my brain tested and help push the research ahead. Please, if you're Australian, make an effort to go to Melbourne and help with this trial. Normally it's unfortunate to live in Australia with all the research happening in the United States and...

Technically that's what E4. Shore's device is doing, zapping and influencing the brain. But her technique is extremely primitive as to what Neuralink will be able to provide Is it safe to suggest that if the Neuralink can stop / suppress tinnitus, it can also do a whole range of auditory...

The chip has read and write function.

Would damaging, mutating, etc. this molecular structure make it give off constant electrical stimulation? Isn't that what tinnitus is in the end. You could change it in a way for it to give off different frequency tones, volume. Quite interesting. Thanks to DeepMind's recent breakthrough in...

10 months to publish the results of Phase 1. Ugh.

Will Dr. Shore's device go through a Phase 3 (if Phase 2 was successful) before they sell it, or will they sell it whilst getting FDA approval?

Here is a recap of the timeline of Dr. Shore's device: June 2013: This thread started November 2016: Phase 1 began May 2017: Phase 1 Completed August 2018: Phase 2 Began August 2022: Phase 2 Completed Also we need to consider how COVID-19 affected 2020 and 2021.
