She holds a patent? That means the patent was probably submitted some time ago. The device will get out in few years at least? Cool just take the patent description and send it in China for a very limited production (ex. 100 devices, for non-commercial purpose) via Alibaba, and we're all done...

Try to solve your other life issues, take an appointment with a competent psychotherapist (behavioral therapy will probably indicated) - and force yourself to go each week. Once you improve other areas in your life, you will see that tinnitus will be much easier to manage.

I am not sure about that one, just read the research content quickly in few minutes ... What I am thinking is that if you can give your body a signal that reduces the tinnitus, it may be possible to imitate it externally. On the other hand, if you are only able to provide a signal that amplifies...

Exact, and that is why I am telling "if they are in for the money". If she is just interested in research, she will probably wait for FDA. That could be an interesting question to raise with Susan and her team directly, preferably over phone if someone is available.

Manufacturing in China, distributors outside of US, and they can be on the market fairly quickly. If they are in also for the money (and not only research). People in the US could then buy the device on Amazon or wherever.

If they go the "regular way" by selling it in USA yes (see https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/HomeHealthandConsumer/ConsumerProducts/ucm142478.htm) . However, EMS devices can be sold in a large number of countries without any particular approval. There are no...

Ah too bad, however as it is a pretty simple device - sound & electric impulses (there are thousands of these on the market) - it could go on sale very quickly, perhaps even this year. Susan Shore's thinking is very interesting and simple. She basically postulates that if it is possible for...

Now this looks very promising (given the small scale trial results) for people with somatic tinnitus. I have asked if it possible to get a trial device outside of USA.

Yes also the same, when you pull your head backwards (looking up) the movement compresses your artery a little bit more so you can hear your tinnitus louder. For me, I think that it is (too much) high intensity bodybuilding workouts that created some terrible muscle spasms in the upper back /...

You probably have the same stuff as me, as I have the exactly same symptoms. It is very funny to eat when you can stop tinnitus when clenching teeth by the way.

Does your tinnitus get louder when you open your mouth very wide (ex. yawn) ?

If it is a pinched blood vessel, you should be able to modulate your tinnitus by moving your neck around. It is pretty easy to understand - the pression on your vessel should vary when you stretch. If not, it is probably something other / located somewhere else. Forget hoping for other people's...

If your muscular spasms vary during the month - which is most probably the case (say you sleep in a bad position one night) - this can impact your arterial pressure on heart beats (blood flow is not the same) => make your tinnitus much more noticeable because nerve compression is higher. So I...

Hello Maureen, same stuff here ... That movement is probably decompressing an artery that is stuck against your nerve, probably nothing to do with TMJ.

An article that may be of interest for some ... Basically it tells that a vascular compression of the vestibulocochlear nerve may lead to different symptoms, including tinnitus. Also, an arterial loop pressing at the nerve has been identified as the cause of pulsatile tinnitus in one described...

Forget MDMA crap. The fact is that even if it works, you could use it only 2-3 times per year. And if you are not in a good mood, this could screw you up for a long time. Most of the time, you'll not even know what you are taking.

Courage ... if it went up (without any particular reason) it can (and very probably will) also go down.

You **** might **** consider it chronic after 2 years ... And even later it could for sure go down. Remember that everybody is special (cause, recovery capacity, etc.) - it's pure medical BS to try making averages for 20 million people. So forget about others, and averages.

I got a somatosensory pulsatile tinnitus because of muscle spasms in neck / trapezius region, and the daily variation is mostly due to variation in muscle contraction (because of the posture, sleeping position, n. of hours on computer, etc.)

Sure thing, it DOES go away for most people.

Thanks buddy!

@GregCA interesting link on "hindsight bias", didn't know that it was a full-fledged theory

Ergh .. this is nonsense dysfunctional thinking. Anybody's life would be changed if he/she could predict the future :) Just think of all the stuff you missed, or would do differently ...

Neck issues can FOR SURE be a cause of tinnitus (probably only if you already have some mild hearing loss). In my case, neck muscles are so tense that they are altering the blood flow because of the compression. If this is the cause, you should hear clear changes in pitch/volume when you move...

It's funny, I am also pretty confident that I got this somatic tinnitus (100% reactive to body posture) because of the heavy lifting & 0% stretching. It was when I lifted the most (5-6x a week) that this started, back and neck muscles became very tense and compressed everything (spine, nerves...

Hi there, I have exactly the same ... You may be hearing your blood flow, and the change in volume is because your artery is less compressed when your head is in the "back" position. If this is indeed because of the arterial compression, your tinnitus should also be louder when you pull your...

You can have both. If you can modulate the pitch / volume, it is related to the blood flow. Check that you haven't got any muscular issues which could compress the artery (TMJ, neck, back) by going to the chiropraticien / physiotherapist.

Everybody thinks that it is venous in nature - and it is - but what is interesting is if a vein is a root cause or not. In my case, it seems pretty much to be on a muscular base. If you have muscular issues, it can tighten your vein(s) which in turn produces tinnitus because of an altered blood...

6 weeks ago, the pulsatile tinnitus started one night. Hoped it would go away quickly, but no chance. It started improving 2-3 weeks ago, slowly going down to almost 0 often light but then up (though less intense) etc. I think that it is definitely a somatosensory tinnitus because it is...
