I couldn’t catch it, but I will listen in due course. I would be very surprised if Dr. Langguth has inside information on Auricle, given their lack of communication. I recall Dr. Shore mentioning after the second trial that the focus would shift to commercialization and that the next studies...

I know I'm stating the obvious, but Chris Martin from Coldplay has been open about his tinnitus, and he seems like a compassionate individual.

No, I’m not suggesting creating a copycat device. I’m saying take her device and explore opportunities that may not be on their current roadmap—work with them. It may not help everyone, but if I had the funds, I’d invest in something that’s already proven to work for some people rather than...

All this talk about money and what’s needed got me thinking—and maybe it’s a silly idea, but hear me out. Does Susan Shore have a global patent for her device? I tried to Google it but couldn’t find any clear information. Even if she does, why couldn’t Tinnitus Quest offer her a lot of money...

Oh man, I also got this email. I was going to buy it, but I am taking a host of other things at the moment so I don’t want to mix anything up. I am kind of thinking there’s only one way to find out...

Thanks for sharing your experience and warning others. I’m sorry to hear about your situation, but 57.7 percent? That’s unbelievable! Their materials mention success rates in the high 80s! I’ve seen other posts where people have been encouraged to report adverse events to the FDA. I know it’s a...

Hi @Hazel, I received an email yesterday from Tinnitus Quest, which mentioned that a German entrepreneur was a driving force behind its establishment. That’s great! I was wondering if there are plans to bring more high-net-worth individuals on board, and possibly even some celebrities who...

Sorry, guys, my bad.

Those who seek out their own path are the real heroes—not Pearson. How did he even get the job? He has no prior experience in launching any health-related global medical devices and clearly lacks an understanding of the consumer. Yet, he has been handed this multimillion-dollar opportunity. I...

Hey Nick, The rTMS Centre The London Psychiatry Centre The first one conducts a QEEG before treatment, which makes it feel like they take a more targeted approach. I was only hesitant because of the story I found here about @JoeBattams, but I understand that his case was more related to noise...

Are they telling you where to place the electrodes? There are a couple of places in the UK that offer this treatment specifically for tinnitus. I’ve never looked into them, but my understanding is that the placement of the electrodes varies depending on the condition being treated. I also want...

If only. I think we have to wait till Pearson puts his big-boy pants on.

Medication worried me as well. Anecdotally, I've seen that Nortriptyline has either helped or made the condition worse for others. I believe Dr. Djalilian is currently running a trial on these medications, so it might be best to wait and see what the outcome is.

I believe the "Flow Neuroscience" device, a new take-home treatment for depression recently launched in the UK, works in a similar way. I've read reviews where people have experienced significant improvements in their depression and seen their lives change for the better. However, I've also come...

This was really detailed—thank you! I'm sorry to hear that Nortriptyline didn’t help. The fear of making it worse is what's stopping me from trying it. Regarding Magnesium, have you tried a different form that might be easier on your stomach? I also had issues with Magnesium, but then I tried...

I believe the perspectives of those who are not taking medication are important for the following reasons: I was informed that around 20 percent of participants do not take the medication. Why should we dismiss their views? If there are participants achieving results without medication, it...

It doesn’t matter where you are based. They treat and guide you through telehealth (over the internet).

Ah, I see your point. Let me explain. My therapist mentioned that they treat people with medication, but some choose to opt-out and follow everything else instead. These individuals still achieve the same results, but it takes them longer to get there—hence my use of the phrase "following the...

I’m following the protocol created by Dr. Djalilian’s telehealth clinic, NeuroMedCare.com. They offer a free consultation to provide a basic overview of the protocol and to answer any questions you might have. The use of migraine medications is optional, and I’ve chosen not to take them. I’m not...

Thank you so much for organizing the Q&A! I had to dip in and out, but I look forward to watching it properly later. I feel more optimistic about the future!

Hi Hazel. Would it be worth asking Dr. Djalilian or Dr. Olze why they don’t just pool resources and work together on this? It seems like they are both using the same concept. Wouldn’t it be more efficient if they combined their financial resources and knowledge base to get to market quicker? I...

Hi, I'm not sure where to post questions, so I apologize if this is the wrong place. Regarding funding, could we ask Dr. Djalilian if he believes the project is fully funded through to commercial launch? I understand that he has raised funds for a clinical trial, as mentioned in the Tinnitus...

For me, it feels like this device has the potential to silence tinnitus for some and deliver great results for others. Dr. Djalilian seems willing to engage with us as a group of sufferers, while Dr. Shore's device can reduce symptoms, but there's no communication from her. If only Dr. Djalilian...

Thank you! So strange. They started in August 2023 and say it lasts a year, but the trial won’t finish until 2026!

Can you please post a link to this trial? I googled, but I can’t find anything mentioning 2026, only something for 2025.

Well, I believe Brai3n was part of the TENT-A3 trials, so you would think they know what they're talking about. However, after looking at the trial eligibility criteria, nothing really stands out that would suggest 90% of the tinnitus population wouldn't be eligible.

I just read about Heidi Olze, but the most recent article I found was from 2021. Is she still working on this? In the 2021 article, she mentioned it could take ten years before we see patients being treated, whereas I'm pretty sure Dr. Djalilian was hoping for 2027 with his implants. That's...

How did they arrive at 10 percent being eligible? I’ve looked at their website but couldn’t find any publications.

Thanks for posting. It looks great and should further validate Dr. Djalilian's ear implant work. It feels like someone will crack the problem of tinnitus using this method.

I’m quite surprised by the low number of worsening cases in the study and even more surprised that they were resolved during the trial. From my experience, I have come across just as many stories about Lenire causing a worsening as success stories. One positive takeaway from this is the...

Check the attached screenshot. This is the job description for the new Auricle employee on LinkedIn. To me, this suggests they are working on a take-home device. Something else seems to be mentioned in the second paragraph, which I think might be related to radiation, but I’m not entirely sure...

I just wanted to echo everyone's thoughts on what a great idea this is. It's also encouraging to know that with proper funding, things could improve. Was Dr. Shore invited to participate? It seems like she would have a lot of valuable knowledge to share, though it's understandable if she's...

Dr. Shore mentioned communicating with the FDA throughout the clinical trial process, so one would hope she followed the FDA's guidelines. In some articles, she has been quoted as saying her focus is now on commercialization, so ideally, another clinical trial won’t be necessary. However, based...

I received an email from RNID, and they mentioned that they're just waiting for the results to be published before releasing a news article. It feels great that they plan to publish something — fingers crossed!

Dr. Shore mentioned in her recent webinar that the trend of decreasing volume continued even at the 6-week mark. She suggested that this could imply further reductions if usage extends beyond 6 weeks. My thinking is that, like with many treatments—from antidepressants to acupuncture to everyday...

I've been guilty of being pessimistic myself, but I hope you're correct and that it's just a matter of time. I'm based in the UK, so unfortunately, I can't offer any accommodation or other support when it reaches the US market. However, I would be more than happy to contribute to any...

Is this your personal estimate, or do you have some information from a good source?

I wouldn’t say not legitimate. The trial data speaks more for itself than any of us could. I would use the phrase “not capable.” And bear in mind @Markku and @Hazel — who spoke with Auricle — haven’t dismissed our concerns... and silence speaks volumes.

Towards the end of the video, Dr. Lim discusses how the device doesn't help everyone and, in some cases, may even worsen the condition. They are actively working to enhance the device as more data becomes available. Let's not forget that Dr. Lim successfully treated @kelpiemsp with his previous...

In theory, it could be prescribed for Meniere's disease. However, if the formulation they plan to use for noise-induced or other types of tinnitus is the same as for Meniere's, we could potentially find a willing doctor to try it ourselves. I'm just considering how someone might avoid the long...

Yes, of course, I can forward the email if that helps the founders. I was pretty surprised to get a response, to be honest, but maybe the company is open to discussing their work, and a Tinnitus Talk Podcast episode could be on the cards — and valuable.

I reached out to Sound Pharmaceuticals. They said they think SPI-1005 could help noise-induced and ototoxicity-induced tinnitus. Here’s fingers crossed!

I'm surprised, actually... It's not much to ask for a small update or insight. Personally, I feel that Auricle should have a leader who is experienced in launching therapeutic medical devices with huge potential. I don't see anything groundbreaking in the devices launched by the CEO Jon...

I was just thinking out loud, but I’m grateful for all the responses it received. I guess I’m just blessed with the gift of pointing out the bleeding obvious.

I'm guessing there's no news on the Auricle update?

It would be great to ask Dr. Lim about this and if he’s using his findings at Neuromod. You would think he’s up to something there; otherwise, why would he still be employed there...

Would it be worth getting Dr. Hubert Lim from Neuromod to do a discussion? He recently mentioned improving Lenire and how it’s not working for everyone. I think this would give us a chance to probe him further.

Lenire is not a scam. It just doesn’t work for everyone.

Personally, I don’t think these are fake... Regardless, I’ve come across enough testimonials that I 100 percent believe are real. One from the founder of the Monzo credit card, who would absolutely not be inclined to lie due to the damage it could do to his reputation. Sadly, I’ve come...

Thanks for pointing me towards this thread. I look forward to seeing the Dr. Hamid Djalilian Q&A in August. I hope I’m not off-topic, but from what I gather, cochlear implants themselves have a decent chance of reducing tinnitus, so why are they not being used in very severe tinnitus cases?

Thank you so much for following up, and I look forward to hearing the summary! And I know it’s awful to have more questions asked when you write something intended to stop the questions. Still, the most optimistic estimations I’ve seen tend to be that the FDA approval will be by the end of this...

It’s a big ask, but can the Tinnitus Talk Founders reach out to Auricle again, or would it be fruitless? It just feels like there is no progress; each day, people suffer when they might not have to.

May I ask what you are referring to when discussing something more efficacious than Auricle? I will also donate to Tinnitus Quest when the functionality is ready.

Why do you think this signals a delay, causing a longer wait?

Why are there so many dots on the chart? I thought with 99 trial participants, I would only see 99 dots, but the chart looks like way more than 99. And are we saying anything above the horizontal line is an increase in tinnitus volume? If so, I see purple dots (active treatment), and there are...

Do you think the sample size of Dr. Shore's Phase 2 trial was big enough for the FDA? I remember Lenire's trial having 300+ participants, and when I googled the question, it talked about 400+, but this, I think, was more for drugs. I'm just asking due to your experience. Thanks.

Guinea pig number one is reporting for duty, sir!

I take it you won’t be interested in the device if it were to hit the market? One less in the queue. That’s fine for others, I’m sure.

I assume that Dr. Shore wants to make the device as affordable as possible. If big pharma were involved, they would want to make it as expensive as possible to maximize their profits, which none of us want. I think we can only criticize Auricle if they receive FDA approval but then the rollout...

It is more that the VA wants to use something that could actually make the tinnitus worse, which surprised me.
