The Brandenburg lab is also in Ilmenau - I think it's named after the inventor of the mp3 file format, Karlheinz Brandenburg, rather than the State of Brandenburg...

Which one? I think there are several companies offering it. Haven't done it, but would be curious!

In the end, I also got the Covid... Feeling a slight increase of the ringing, but no worse than the last cold (which subsided again).

Same here! And many others here have reported the same. Maybe there's something about it indeed...

New paper: "The blinking eye as a window into tinnitus: A new animal model of tinnitus in the macaque". Notably the authors list includes Josef Rauschecker, who was on the Tinnitus Talk Podcast in the past.

Indeed there seems to be some work in this direction, for instance: Generalizable Sample-Efficient Siamese Autoencoder for Tinnitus Diagnosis in Listeners With Subjective Tinnitus

I can confirm this, too @koffee_monster and @AfroSnowman. Sometimes I wake up in silence, but only for a short moment, my brain immediately starts to wonder where the tinnitus is and suddenly there it is... So thanks for posting this @Christiaan, please keep us up to date!

Just a recent study on prevalence of somatic tinnitus, since this topic has been discussed in this thread in connection with Susan Shore's device. At least half of the veterans screened had somatic/somatosensory tinnitus, even though one might rather expect noise exposure than orthopedic issues...

Some interesting news in this context. If I understand correctly, this technique has been applied somewhat "randomly" in the past, hoping for positive outcome. Maybe this research can help make it effective in the future. Tinnitus is not mentioned explicitly, but certainly falls in the larger...

I'd also be interested in experiences with this topic! My orthodontic treatment as a teenager did not work optimally and since then my bite has been disturbed. Teeth in upper and lower jaw do not really fit together well, I bite more on the right side than on the left side. I also grind my teeth...

Check out the "New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing" thread. The device is specifically designed for somatic tinnitus.

If I understood correctly, both by disturbed behavior (and being less distressed after treatment) as well as brain scans.

Got much louder now with a strong cold/cough (no Covid). Any similar experiences? Is this normal and will likely go back to the usual level?

No worries! In the experiments with the guinea pigs, they indeed got noise-induced tinnitus and for them the device apparently also helped in the studies. So even though somatic tinnitus is the main target that is being studied in the trials, there is hope it will help beyond. Furthermore, I...

Reminding me of Jordan Peterson's Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life: Rule #12: "Be grateful in spite of your suffering." Something for the book thread as well...

...and probably almost all people devolop (more or less serious) hearing loss during their life span (mostly, at older age, but with a generation growing up with AirPods in their ears more and more), but still the question is why in some people the neurons go bonkers and other just get worse...

The end of the year as getting closer... Anyone heard some news?

I guess they simply do one after the other. It's costly and lot of work and they don't want several applications at the same time. But if they get FDA approval and start to make money in the US, I'm sure they will expand, after all, tinnitus is potentially a big world-wide market...

I get the point, but one can also see it from this perspective: If Dr. Shore is not simply selling her technology to Lenire or trying to "cash in" otherwise, and is even building up a company without an FDA approval yet, it is likely that she is convinced that the treatment is effective and...

Fully agree! 40 % time for research might even be optimistic, but it depends and might be better in the US. For the mRNA vaccinations there already existed several well-funded biotech companies backed up with big pharma companies working exclusively on an existing technique for a while, even...

There are delays with the trials and the FDA application. In mid-2022 we should know more. Apparently the company Auricle Inc. is being built up in hopes to commercialize the product. Furthermore, it seemed they were planning an application to Republic (which supposedly got delayed as well?)...

Yes, I have also experienced this. Fortunately it got less over time and happens only rarely now, and sleeping improved overall, fortunately, after many sleepless nights in the beginning...

Same here. It gets more intense from yawning, and by tensing jaw muscles. Additionally, certain neck movements also seem to have that effect. Afterwards, it gets quickly back to the normal level. Found it weird in the beginning, but from reading posts here many experience this. Well, let's hope...

Well, I was more referring in general to knowing the warning of the German Tinnitus Association regarding Lenire that was quoted, not to that specific page. Obviously you are right that page is selling CBT/TRT/self-help book/background music etc. and thus for them other serious treatment tries...

Thanks indeed for sharing! Well, let's hope the Auricle/Shore device will be a better approach to bimodal stimulation! Lenire approval might help Auricle approval and lead to some competition between the companies. On the other hand, Lenire's disapproval and Auricle's approval would show that...

I think for the animal experiments, the guinea pigs were exposed to loud noise, and their symptoms could be measured by their behavior and brains scans. Appearently bimodal stimulation worked their as well, even though that seems more like noise induced instead of somatic. So maybe there's hope...

First dose BioNTech/Pfizer in June, second dose in July. No effect on my tinnitus whatsoever, maybe things continued to improve slowly and slightly, but clearly not getting worse due to the vaccination!

You can program it to turn off after one hour or so, when you are hopefully asleep... so that the ears can get some rest at night!

Just FYI: More details out for the TRI Academy's Online Seminar Series on October 20th: https://www.tinnitusresearch.net/index.php/174-tri-academy-s-episode-2

Thanks for sharing with us! 60 to 80 % seems quite a lot, didn't expect that. But maybe there are different degrees of "somatic", and to that degree it may help? Another interesting point to compare Lenire and Shore/Auricle is of course where the electric stimulation is applied, i.e. tongue vs...

I'm new to the forum (even though lurking around a bit longer), so I discovered this thread only after it popped up again recently. Are there other interesting open questions with respect to this, is it maybe possible to share some code etc., are there possibly other interesting datasets that...

Yes, it seems a lot more like the right thing to do, even though I wonder how it works differently on a technical level! Another difference of course is jaw/neck stimulation vs. tongue. Again, it seems plausible since quite a few people seem to be able to influence it by jaw/neck movements...

Not sure if this was posted before, but here's an interesting link mostly on Lenire, and also a comparison with Shore/Auricle: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-tinnitus-treatment-alleviates-annoying-ringing-in-the-ears1/ In particular I found that comparison is interesting, e.g...
