Salut Frédéric, thanks for sharing. It seems to be another therapy that only reduces tinnitus distress, rather than the actual volume of the tinnitus.

Happy for you. Unfortunately, noise-induced tinnitus never completely goes away. Enjoy your life as much as you can, especially now that you are able to.

Honestly, and sadly, no one seems to care about tinnitus. There are illnesses that receive much more attention and interest, such as AIDS, cancer, and others. Finding cures for those conditions is seen as highly rewarding. But tinnitus? Most people simply do not care. Many are not even aware...

On their homepage, it reads "All products are currently out of stock".

Hi @slc, I’m so sorry I missed your message. I’ve been away from Tinnitus Talk for almost two months—the longest break I’ve ever taken from the site. I just logged in today. I hope everything is okay with you.

All joking aside, I’ve always wondered what would happen to Susan Shore’s device if she were to pass away before it could be brought to market.

I'm glad I can hear a video on TInnitus Talk in my mother tongue! :)

Hi @delta784, I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through. My tinnitus also worsened because of an anti-inflammatory medication (Naproxen) that a doctor prescribed for foot pain. It’s true that some types of anti-inflammatory drugs are ototoxic, and this has been proven. Stay strong. I...

Hello, I am reaching out, like throwing a message in a bottle into the sea. I will not go into too much detail about my story, as it would take pages, but essentially, I am someone enduring extreme suffering because of tinnitus. I have been living with severe, disabling tinnitus for six years...

Unfortunately, I agree. This aligns with what I said earlier: if 2026 is unrealistic, I don’t think the device will be available in the U.S. before 2030, and likely not before 2035 in other countries. :( I really hope I’m wrong because my tinnitus keeps getting worse, and I’m only 33 years old...

Wow! Thanks for sharing! Is this good news or excellent news for us tinnitus sufferers?

Czesc Krzysztof, this reminds me of a Tinnitus Talk member who claimed that psilocybin "basically cured" his tinnitus. You can find his testimony here.

Wow, wow, wow! It’s a pleasure to read articles like this. It gives us a bit of hope when we’re really at rock bottom. Thanks for sharing. I hope we learn more about these findings soon.

Anyway, @Markku previously mentioned that the timelines discussed here on Tinnitus Talk for the potential launch of Susan Shore’s device are unrealistic. I don’t think the device will be available on the market before 2030, and it likely won’t be accessible outside the United States before...

I wasn’t aware of Ashwagandha. Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll ask my psychiatrist if there are any interactions with Mirtazapine. Many tinnitus sufferers on Tinnitus Talk have also recommended Trazodone for sleep. Unfortunately, it has not been sold in France since 1996.

I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I was curious about Lidocaine as a potential treatment, so I read this study on transdermal Lidocaine for chronic subjective tinnitus. I’ll admit I didn’t read it thoroughly, but according to the study, lidocaine administration might actually worsen tinnitus...

Given that we recently learned that Dr. Shore's device won't be on the market for years, the new hype seems to be focused on this subject. Seriously, guys, are you really ready to have a device implanted in your ears to alleviate tinnitus? Honestly, it would freak me out. I'm more interested...

With all respect, personally, and even though your opinion might be rational, I think we should stop spreading negativity on Tinnitus Talk. Even the sponsor of this drug (if I understood it correctly) said that it might help noise-induced tinnitus. So maybe it will work for chronic...

I was reading through some of my old posts on Tinnitus Talk and suddenly remembered about this thread. There have been no updates in this thread for almost a year?

This is, unfortunately, not surprising...

I heard about Quviviq a long time ago. It is finally available in France. I was thinking about giving it a try. I'm sorry it did not work as expected for you. I'm kind of reluctant to try it, though. As it is a very new treatment, we don't know what side effects could occur in long-term use...

Hi Wassim, I can't believe how similar our situations are! I also have severe tinnitus (and hyperacusis) after experiencing a noise trauma at a music festival in 2019, despite wearing custom-made hearing protection. Like you, I've suffered a lot for years - lack of sleep, no social life...

Hi folks! I come with (bad) news, unfortunately. Some years ago, in this thread, I talked about virtual reality as a treatment for tinnitus, as proposed by the Georges Pompidou Hospital in Paris. It turns out that Dr. Londero didn't offer me to take part in the test protocol. However, I came...

Is this device really promising? Why are there only four pages of discussion since 2022, as opposed to Susan Shore's device thread, which has over 200? Is it because this device doesn't really reduce the intensity of tinnitus, but rather the symptoms associated with it? In any case, it's good...

Hi folks! I used to read this thread several times a day for years. A few months ago, we learned of the very encouraging results of Phase II of Dr. Shore's device. Last I heard, we were waiting for Dr. Shore to submit her device to the FDA, if I remember correctly. What about today? I looked...

As we say in French, "hope is life". We have a damn incurable disease. So every potential treatment gives us hope, even if we're not sure it will work. It's always better than hearing the perpetual "there's nothing you can do, get used to it" from doctors. Whenever I'm not feeling well, like...

I asked the same question previously, this is indeed very strange. There is not a single article on the Internet about the positive results of the device. Maybe this is because the information we have is not official? Maybe we will see some articles about it once the results of the Phase II are...

It's such a shame not to have a caring professional hierarchy. My former manager (who is also the director of my company) was compassionate when I told her about my tinnitus. I never miss work either because I stay strong despite the lack of sleep (in 4 years I only had to ask twice to stay at...

I don't remember my tinnitus being somatic until I took Naproxen in 2020 that greatly and permanently worsened my tinnitus and made one of the sounds somatic. In fact this sound only increases if I open my mouth wide (so when I yawn or when I eat for example). This wasn't the case before. So...

Hi @El BUZZ, do you really have disabling tinnitus? If so, how on earth do you manage to box? Personally I am so weak from lack of sleep due to tinnitus that I constantly feel extremely weak and wobbly. I feel that if someone brushes up against me in the street I could fall to the ground...

I don't really know much about FDA, but maybe (and hopefully) it will not take as much time to authorise the marketing of Susan Shore's device, as it is an American device? :dunno:

There is one sentence that is particularly interesting in her email, she says "We are dedicated to bringing this novel therapy to the millions of global sufferers of this terrible affliction". It's already positive just to read that she hopes to help "millions" of people :)

Epidiolex seems to be available in France but it is prescribed for people with epileptic seizures associated with Dravet syndrome. According to what I read, it has no major side effetcs. Do you really think it can help tinnitus? I will talk about it to my psychiatrist next week.

Many questions remain unanswered for the moment. We only have a small glimpse of the device's potential. We will have to wait for the publication of the full Phase II results to know everything. I hope it will be soon. It's a bit like waiting for the 25th of December for a kid :rolleyes:

It also starts to worry me, but I'll try my best to stay positive: what if these cases of worsening aren't really due to the device? I have a personal experience regarding this: I visited a French tinnitus specialist recently who's been taking care of me. One of the things I told him about was...

Honestly I was kind of surprised to learn that tinnitus helps prevent cognitive decline! I mean, when you're so severely affected by tinnitus, to the point of only sleeping 2 or 3 hours a night, how the hell can lack of sleep contribute to preventing cognitive decline? When you sleep so...

My gosh, all this good news is really coming at the right time! It is coming at a time when my tinnitus is terribly intense and makes me sleep very little. I'm not normally one to try a brand new treatment. I am a very suspicious person and a bit of a hypochondriac. But honestly if this device...

As a very severe tinnitus sufferer (I have 4 sounds in my head including an ultra high-pitched sound, a dental drill sound and an electric sound), I also literally shed a few tears when I heard the good results of Susan Shore's device. I want to be optimistic like most of you, this disease is...

The results sound interesting. As a very severe tinnitus sufferer, I think I would give Neosensory a try, if only it was available in France. It it not as expensive as Lenire. I emailed Neosensory last year and they told me "Currently we are only shipping within the United States. If you sign...

Thank you very much for your hopeful comment, it is to see this type of comment that I consult Tinnitus Talk several times a day. I am in dire need of hope, I don't know why my condition is only getting worse. Even the French tinnitus specialist doesn't understand why antidepressants don't...

That is precisely what I am scared of :( If Dr. Susan Shore's device doesn't help us, or if it doesn't help us enough to enjoy life a little bit as before, there will probably be nothing for us in our lifetime. It's terrible to live with the idea that we will probably have to deal with this...

Dr. Susan Shore's device is also the only hope I have to hold on to. I really hope we won't be disappointed this time. Tinnitus has literally ruined my life for almost 4 years now. I'm 31, I lost the only girlfriend I had in my life 6 months ago, and now I'm having a terrible time finding a...
