I hope you are right. And I am praying very very hard that this good woman who has labored for so long to help us, reaps the fruits of her hard labor. Let us pray that I am completely wrong and just jaded by a long life of seeing these things go down.

They have filed a patent application with priority (first filing) in March 2013, which is published as WO 2014/145914. They appear to have entered national phase only in US, Canada and EU (short sighted, I’ll say it again: she needs a commercial partner!). She has two US patents but no patents...

Some say it’s the regulations. Patient groups that lobby the FDA get things done faster. Check out patient advocacy groups for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Those people are fighting to save their kids, they are true warriors. We could learn from them.

I completely agree with @Tinker Bell! The next trial doesn’t even start recruiting until this summer. And if she only has one site, this could be a very looooong trial. Finding sufficient numbers of tinnitus sufferers that can spend at least (assuming same trial design) 16 weeks in Ann Arbor...

Don’t worry, Shore’s research was for noise-caused tinnitus. They can’t even tell if guinea pigs have “somatic” tinnitus modulated by movement (you probably can’t ask guinea pigs if their tinnitus changes if they clench their jaw ). Regardless of what is causing the tinnitus (pinched nerve in...

Shore will lose out to someone who can commercialize sooner. But yes, someone will make money which we will gladly pay for some potential relief. It would be unfortunate if Dr Shore drops the ball and watches someone get a similar device on the market before she does, but that is capitalism. May...

This is taking a looong time. It’s just a silly device that emits a tone and delivers an electric shock. This is what happens when academics don’t partner with a commercial entity. Dr Shore needs investors and a commercial partner! Start your little company and license your IP to somebody that...

Ask dentist to check if you have bruxism - clenching your teeth when you sleep could be affecting your tinnitus. Good luck.

My tinnitus is louder in the mornings. I’ve since discovered I clench my teeth in the night! My doc thinks that the tightening of my neck muscles caused by clenching are making my tinnitus worse. I now sleep w a mouth guard which protects my teeth but doesn’t stop the clenching. I’ve also had...

I think AZeurotuner raises an excellent point - how can you tell a patient who is being helped by this device that they have to give it back because the trial is over? Harsh. I hope they get this approved and on sale ASAP!!!! Is there a gofundme page for this research???

After waiting since 1994 for some hope that something could halt the progression of this horrible screeching in my left ear (modulated by pushing on various points on my head, face and neck, most especially pushing down at C1), “promising” is earth-shattering! I’ll take any noticeable decrease...
