I just wish they would lose the Bluetooth and go with wired headphones.

Seriously. This WILL make your tinnitus worse, and you could end up with tinnitus AND hyperacusis, which makes tinnitus by itself seem mild by comparison. JUST DON'T DO IT! Shooting and tinnitus don't mix, not ever. People with severe tinnitus and hyperacusis have no quality of life and...

I have stayed (mostly) silent on this thread because people who have had successful reduction or elimination of their tinnitus using bimodal stimulation (including @kelpiemsp) noticed no change until at least two months in. You are all suffering from premature expectations and impatience. I am...

Have you even been reading this thread? Yes, there has been "real positive feedback" from early adopters. Regarding peer review, just some random comments I found in three seconds of googling: "Every time I contact the editorial manager they reply 'your manuscript is still under review'."...

From Neuromod's site: "To support commercialisation activities, Neuromod is investing in establishing the appropriate quality, regulatory and supply chain infrastructure to support near term European plans and lay the foundation for the Company’s US strategy." My guess is at the earliest...

And thanks for the dry heaves. For the love of God.

I'll be sure to let my cat pee on one and save it for you. :angelic:

There are DMT physicians, but their treatment wears off when the experience is over. Some psychonauts speculate that the DMT carrier wave that people hear IS tinnitus; I don't know. As in all things, my only advice is think very carefully before you leap, and proceed with care. A user on the...

They are now telling people one month between assessment and fitting. I'm out. I cannot afford four round trip fares plus the treatment. I'll wait until the treatment comes to North America, whenever that is. I am cancelling my September 6 appointment.

It seems like he just wants attention.

How do you figure that, Ken? They are making appointments now, after all. And may I ask you, if all you feel regarding Neuromod is negativity and skepticism, what are you trying to do here?

Actually, they said at least 14 days. I don't expect any sort of reply to my assessment questionnaire until 21 June at the earliest. Since real life is keeping me so busy, I'm not exactly on pins and needles waiting. It may take me more time to get my passport in order than it takes them to be...

Dude! Thank you so much for posting this! Hope is my oxygen these days. I'm giving you Kelpiemsp- and Clare B- level kudos. You guys are my heroes.

It has more or less been my intention to use Lenire ASAP, and mSync (the University of Minnesota device) when it becomes available if it is still necessary after Lenire. Of course, Lenire could possibly make any future treatments unnecessary. Thinking about this is helping me today, because I'm...

I doubt very seriously that Neuromod would exclude patients with TMJ. Unless they just WANT to make less money. You have nothing to worry about.

@RCP1 went silent in early April. I'm a bit worried, he's one of my favorite folks here, too. He left one or two fairly dire I'm-at-the-end-of-my-tether messages several months back after his tinnitus intensified. But then I've left some of those too, and I'm still here. My spikes settle down...

If you use Airbnb, you can book a cheap room in Dublin for about $1,000 per month. That is my current intention. I've already talked to my boss about a six-week medical leave.

I sound like a Lenire True Believer in my previous post. Yes, I am impressed by bimodal stimulation and think it is the best hope tinnitus sufferers have at the moment. But I may be wrong. Maybe @kelpiemsp's and @Clare B's recoveries were flukes. I admit I'm putting all of my eggs in one bimodal...

Neuromonics gave me a dramatic placebo effect for about two weeks -- My tinnitus was quieter, my ears felt more robust and far less vulnerable. I felt almost cured. Then I woke up one Sunday morning and it all went away. My tinnitus was back in full force, my hyperacusis had returned. I was...

Thank you, that's a very kind compliment. Like a lot of people here, I used to be a musician and songwriter. Also a lyricist, though my old lyrics embarrass me now -- if I ever do music again I would want to collaborate with someone who is better at writing words than me. I was starting to...

I do think your analysis is helpful. But I'm still going to get the treatment as soon as possible. My condition keeps worsening. One trial subject, Ken, spoke of tinnitus spikes no longer happening to him. Lightning struck nearby a few nights ago and my earmuffs were next to my pillow but I was...

I've read so many Philip K. Dick novels and stories that I think it has warped my view of reality. "Skinjob" is a term from the film Blade Runner, based on PKD's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I sometimes have the unsettling feeling that none of my childhood memories are real. I...

I should be as skeptical as you after my Neuromonics experience 12 years ago. I followed @kelpiemsp's posts daily in 2018. He is a researcher himself (in another field) and knows what he is talking about. His experience is why I have hope.

For @Ken219, If you would like a better understanding of what the "tongue vibrator" does, read this article about neuromodulation. "Patients may also balk at the invasiveness of the treatments. Even minor surgeries for implantable devices come with risks of infection, not to mention pain and...

Different treatment. Neuromonics was a little purple (later silver) iPod (with fancy Bang & Olufsen earbuds) with classical and new age music (and an underlying "shower sound") equalized based on your audiogram that you listened to for +/- four to six hours a day. I used it religiously (in...

No. Read the threads. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/university-of-minnesota-tinnitus-research-with-acoustic-and-body-stimulation.28022/ https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/mutebutton.124/ Go back to the beginning of this one, too.

I'm surprised that people are surprised by this. Neuromonics cost me about $4800 in 2007 (and revealed to me how capable I was of producing an amazing placebo effect for the first two weeks.) A desensitization protocol, nothing more. An equalized iPod with counseling and follow-ups. Essentially...

No loud venues for me, ever again. Even if Neuromod delivers a best-case scenario. I have learned my lesson, forever.

Bimodal stimulation (essentially the same modality that Lenire is) diminished @kelpiemsp's hyperacusis. "My hyperacusis slowly diminished. I had hyperacusis for a while. Not anywhere close to many of the people on this forum. But there were weeks were I couldn't be in my office environment...

I've been dealing with this shit for almost 20 years. In the past four years it has really worsened significantly. I'm feeling doubtful about Lenire's availability in North America in 2019-20. I've been putting money aside for [some sort of medical breakthrough] since about 2010. I'm going to...

I'll give you mine, my TTTS, my gigantic Peltor earmuffs that I wear everywhere, my anxiety and depression, my occasional suicidal ideation, my reduced ability to enjoy life -- all of it. Absolutely free. Are you sure you want it?

I'm not so sure about that*, but thank you. (*Drunks with hyperacusis rush in where angels fear to tread.)

I'd love to move to Tokyo, but I can only speak about three sentences of Japanese so I would settle for a long visit. I'd like to find the boyfriend who has eluded me since 2009. (Coincidentally the year hyperacusis kicked in.)

In previous posts, I've mentioned far away gunshots (seemingly so far away that they should not be causing a spike) causing my condition to not only spike, but also to rise to a new baseline. I think this is not damage to my ears, but instead it is my brain over-reacting. This may be what is...

I'm plowed right now (wine blunts hyperacusis) so my apologies. I'm sort of in the same situation as you. And I never leave my house without heavy grey 3m Peltors on and 3m plugs in (the orange ones, 1100s? I think). I (literally) feel your pain. Sometimes I wear the muffs indoors, if the creeps...

Okay, so it is never going to be available in America and it's going to cost £6000. I smell the stink of trolls on this thread. Take up knitting if you're that bored.

Well, okay. I was angry at you a bit earlier, and my anger was unjustified because I mis-read your intention. I am sorry for that. On the other hand, I will say that I've noticed one or two people (this is not directed at you, Jazzer) who almost seem like they want Neuromod to fail, so that...

@Jack Straw If I lived in a sane country, this would not even be happening. Sadly, I do not. I'm slightly outside the city limits, so the authorities in my area are county sheriff's department. Some of them are probably the ones doing it. I don't call anymore. Not only does it accomplish...

I've seen the term Acoustic Shock Disorder before but didn't pay a lot of attention to be honest. As I mentioned, these gunshots are far away enough (they have a long reverb decay which gives an impression of distance) that you wouldn't think they could be causing damage. My guess is a few...

There also seems to be a bit of competition between treatment modalities. Some biopunks here seem to laugh at and scorn zappers. Why not support both? It is possible to benefit from Neuromod while waiting for Frequency Therapeutics. By the time I'm done with both, I plan to have the hearing of a...

Well, Neuromod is most likely going to be the first provider to make bimodal stimulation for tinnitus commercially available. I don't know how bad your tinnitus is, nor do I know how much pain you are in. But some of us are desperate. Even if it helps just a little, that may buy someone like me...

@JohnAdams Thanks, John. I've thought about moving, but after 19 years, this place is home. I really, really don't want to move again. The last time I moved, I said, "This is it." @GSC I've already tried it. In this tiny room (the one that used to be my home recording studio but is now just an...

Hello. I'm new here. My name is Geoff. I live in a suburb that is less than one kilometer outside the corporate limit of my city. There are still woods in the area, though it was developed decades ago. Target shooting in people's backyards is technically illegal here but unenforced. The same...

Reporting the "thread crappers" worked on the previous thread.

Nice to see that the negativity from the "MuteButton" thread has migrated over. We know it is not going to work for everyone. We know it will help / improve some folks' symptoms and stop short of being a cure. We know that it will probably be a management tool for some people. We know that some...

They did have someone like Claire. The lady who said she didn't want to give back the device at the end and kept it a bit longer. I've forgotten her name. Ginger haired lady. She said her tinnitus went away. That's basically the same thing Claire said.

Here's @kelpiemsp's story in full. Same technological basis as Neuromod, different team: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/university-of-minnesota-tinnitus-research-with-acoustic-and-body-stimulation.28022/ @kelpiemsp Thank you for continuing to post here even after your tinnitus has...

In my experience, alcohol helps blunt tinnitus severity. Cheers!
