I might, but my understanding is Auricle has not yet said if they have submitted to the FDA yet. If there is no submission, and the delay is with Auricle, not the FDA, there is no point in criticizing the FDA and writing to our Representatives and Senators.

She was running for Vice President of the United States as the running mate of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. However, they recently dropped out of the race, leaving Harris and Trump as the only remaining candidates.

The war machine springs to life, opens up one eager eye

@linearb said earlier he was thinking he would go ahead and try Lenire. He was a participant in the Susan Shore clinical trial, so it says a lot to me if he thinks it might be worth a shot to try Lenire.

I am not aware of any that are only 5 mW other than the new low-priced USB-powered ones. To verify the specifications, you can buy equipment that tests the output of the low-priced USB laser devices (and any other laser devices). This is one place that sells laser power meters...

5 mW is not very powerful but they are available at very good prices, around $25. Here is one example (this one is 650 nm, not 660 nm, but that’s pretty close): → Lisade Red Light Therapy Earplugs with Storage Box Relief Tinnitus Device for Sound Ears

The US may be 3 percent of world population but it is 25 percent of world GDP. Different ways to measure this number, but no matter how you slice it, the US is a large market. https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/gdp_share/

Can you suggest a product that would be a good rosemary extract? I would like to experiment. For example, I see this one, Swanson Rosemary Extract. But in the interesting PubMed paper about rosemary that @Anima provided, the rosemary extract they prepare seems very different:

I think Shanghai Lucky Laser may have gone out of business during the extended COVID-19 lockdowns in China, I don't see their website live anymore for any products. If anyone is interested, I am putting my LK-COMBI Lucky Laser up for sale. Shipping to US only because it is very large and heavy...

While I realize it’s apples and oranges, in the new biography of Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson published a couple months ago, it says Neuralink got FDA approval in just 4 weeks. See the quote from the book, and more information at the CNN link. To me, the Neuralink brain implant seems much more...

I see these devices popping up everywhere, a few on Amazon and many more on eBay, often for less than $20. I wonder what the specifications are (probably LED rather than LASER), and if anyone on Tinnitus Talk has tried them? → Luhak Infrapeace Red Light Earplugs

Look into Celltex out of Houston, TX. They have been around a long time, quite reputable, they even treated one of the governors of Texas who credits them with solving his medical problem. They use your own stem cells, multiply them over a several week period, then re-inject. Completely safe...

Dave Case is not NIH or Pfizer or Harvard Medical School - he’s just a creative individual who came up with something that seems to help some patients. I’m much appreciative of his efforts and wish we had 100 more Dave Cases!

@R. David Case, I seem to recall, but cannot seem to find it now, that you released an updated version of the Tinnitus Mix earlier this year. If I am correct in remembering that, I wondered what the differences are between the original version and the new version?

I was reading an article recently, apparently auto repair salaries have not been skyrocketing the way positions such as fast food have (McDonald’s now pays $20 an hour more often than not, far more than prior to COVID-19). So the auto folk are grumbling they now make the same as McDonald’s entry...

I think Spain is in better shape than the US for car repair. I crashed my Nissan last summer. Nissans are simple, not like Teslas, any auto body shop can repair damage from crashes to a Nissan. But due to a continuing labor shortage in the US, all the auto body repair shops were backed up at...

Very interesting! I see that FREQ stock is up 55 percent this morning on the announcement.

@Juan, watch out! It seems Tesla may be coming to Spain in a big way... Tesla is rumored to be planning a ‘more than $4.5 billion factory’ in Spain Local newspaper CincoDias reports about Tesla (translated from Spanish): “Everything indicates that Tesla will manufacture electric vehicles in...

I do not think this 1 in 50,000 number has any basis in fact. Apparently this figure was stated on an old hyperacusis patient support site (but with no basis in fact) and then it got repeated over and over, and now is mentioned on many websites (never with any reference to the source). I think...

I have read that American truck drivers tend to have much worse hearing damage in the left ear, because vehicles are left hand drive and they keep the driver’s side window open often and as a result get far more wind and road noise exposure to the left ear, versus the right.

Has Dr. Shore indicated when she plans to retire? According to Spokeo, she is 72 years old. Many people keep working well into their 80s, sometimes even 90s, but I think that’s more the exception than the rule.

I wonder how much dose matters. Ginger shots seem to have vastly greater quantities of ginger than have been discussed in this thread. For example one shot of Vive Organic Pure Boost Ginger seems to have 40 grams of ginger. Versus ginger tea which has maybe 1,500 mg. Big difference! More than...

I have tried Amitryptyline several times. Each time, the day after the first dose (25 mg) I would get almost complete silence from tinnitus. The several days after that day of silence, my tinnitus increased from baseline. I got worried so I discontinued each time. I have always wondered if I...

Indeed, I only see 10 reviews posted, not 8,000, and those 10 look like they were written by a low budget version of ChatGPT. I wonder what Anne Harila thinks about this device?

Anyone heard of SonicCalm Pro? An LLLT device for tinnitus at a low price - $69. SonicCalm Pro What results can I get? You can expect a 50% reduction in volume after 3 months, and a 60-80% reduction at 12 months.

Just wait until the higher interest rates flow through and cause debt service payments on the US government debt to soar. We ain’t seen nothing yet in terms of where this is all headed.

I have not followed San Francisco closely, I think that real estate prices softened during COVID-19 but have since come back. The bigger issue out there seems to be the escalating crime and homeless encampments. The housing shortage is the big driver of real estate prices. Cities often are...

The area where Amazon HQ is located formerly was mostly US military and defense contractors but after the Oklahoma City bombing and the 9-11-2001 attacks the buildings were not deemed secure enough and they became mostly vacated as new locations were found. As a result the area had low...

I live about two kilometers from Amazon HQ. I can almost see the buildings from my window. There is some sense of relief with people around here they are delaying because housing prices keep skyrocketing with no end in sight. The hope is if Amazon do not bring in as many new employees, it will...

In the US pretty much any medication can be prescribed off-label, so no issue in that particular country. Wikipedia says Pimozide was approved in 1985 in the US. That’s a long time ago. I wonder if any anecdotes exist of it lowering the volume of tinnitus.

@Rockstar, I think the idea is that not jailing the criminals improves social justice (because people of color are jailed at higher rates than white people). My opinion however is that it does the opposite. It increases crime dramatically in neighborhoods where people of color live. They then...

Quoth Bob Dylan: For the times, they are a-changin' Maybe they will change again in the other direction, but right now you can see what is happening, the prisons are disgorging their residents. Quite a lot also were released during Covid, the reasoning being a measure to reduce infection...

We in ‘Murica are trying to put less people in prisons. America’s incarceration rate falls to lowest level since 1995 The U.S. incarceration rate fell in 2019 to its lowest level since 1995, according to recently published data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the statistical arm...

Curious why you would be freaking out with this result? It sounds like a good thing? (I would be thrilled if my loud noises calmed down so I could only hear a soft humming in complete silence.)

I don’t know what the correct info is. I pulled the June 2020 date from this page on the 23andMe website, which isn’t crystal clear, it’s more about the upgrade process. But regardless, anyone can log into their account and find out what chipset they are on, don’t need to guess at the dates...

I think that is an excellent question, and I have the same question, but I don't know. Science is not my skill set. My hope is that this Cx26 gene research finding is something that the authors, or other researchers, will be be able to build on.

My V5 test kit from 23andMe arrived today. Tomorrow I will mail it back to them. Though to the point made by @Lucifer about no current drugs being available for hyperacusis or tinnitus, there is nothing actionable for me to do if I have one of the 8 mutations. So it is for information only at...

I asked them today. They said those CGRP meds did not help with the hyperacusis, unfortunately. Of course that is just one data point. But would have been nice if it had been a positive result for that one person. I asked another person today who has been contemplating trying CGRP meds for...

Yes, I had my DNA tested in 2015 through 23andMe on what they call their V4 chip. The V4 chip tests for 2 of the 8 mutations on the hyperacusis gene. The V4 chip was upgraded to the V5 chip in June 2020. The new V5 chip tests for all 8 of the hyperacusis gene mutations. So anyone who had it done...

Poster at ARO this week.

@Lucifer, I don’t know what CGRP med(s) the mice are receiving, but I did hear of a human hyperacusis patient who has tried two different CGRP meds for hyperacusis, Emgality and Nurtec, though I don’t know anything about their experience with them. I wonder if anyone else has tried CGRP meds. I...

My understanding is that the article is saying that if you have the mutation of that gene then you are extra susceptible to developing hyperacusis. The only way to know if you have the gene mutation is to get your DNA sequenced from 23andMe or a similar company. You spit in a test tube, mail it...

From Seinfeld “The Stock Tip” episode: VANESSA: I said, the market fluctuates. Remember? JERRY: Look, Vanessa, of course the market fluctuates. Everybody knows that. I just got fluctuated out of four thousand dollars!

I tried it, though not with the Lamberts brand and not with the other specifics replicating the method. This is the brand I tried (it did nothing for me): Doctor's Best Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, Soy Free, Promotes Healthy Blood Sugar, 600 mg, 60 Veggie Caps

The tax system in the US is mind-bogglingly complicated and varies greatly by region. In California, where many of those Google employees live, it would be not far off from 50 percent. Federal rate is 35 percent, plus California 9.3 percent, plus social security and health 7.65 percent adds up...

If they make $299k yes, but $300k no. Those numbers are before income taxes are subtracted. So gross. Salaries in the US are crazy - I think I read this week that the average Google employee makes $300k. And that’s before accounting for any employed spouse which would make the household income...

There are income limits set by the IRA - I think the cut-offs are $150k for single people and $300k for married people. Any more, and no tax credit. But for everyone else, the Tesla cars are much more accessible than they were a month ago. And the used older Model 3s are getting down to around...

Tesla is hiring again. And the stock closed at $143.75 today, up about 40 percent from a few weeks ago. What a roller coaster! Tesla makes a massive investment in service in California

I crashed my Nissan hatchback into a deer and had to get it repaired at the collision center. When I picked it up yesterday, out of curiosity I asked them if they work on Teslas. They said they had not, but that what they do is refer Tesla people to certified Ford collision centers because they...

Finally some good news? Degrowth is the goal, as understand it to be? “As the flaws in the currently prevailing paradigm of unfettered growth become ever more apparent, degrowth is increasingly regarded as a tangible alternative. Far from a radical notion confined to the realm of abstract...

The Norwegians seem to like the Tesla cars. This year, in 2022, the Tesla Model Y broke the record for a single model car sales that was set by Volkswagen Beetle all the way back in 1969. Took 53 years for that record to be broken. And 80 percent of all new car sales in Norway are pure...

My understanding is that the opposite is true - that the majority of people with tinnitus can significantly manipulate their tinnitus. Dr. Levine for example says 80 percent of people with tinnitus can modulate their tinnitus. In my own personal case, I know I can - if I move my jaw in a...

Phenibut still works wonders for me. If I take 1.5 mg at bedtime, when I wake up, my tinnitus is reduced around 80 or 90 percent. It’s truly amazing. But I can only do it about once a month. More often and it doesn’t work. I suppose this is due to the rapid tolerance building of Phenibut...
