I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

I wrote a long post about my opinion, I deleted it.
Suffice it to say that I am getting annoyed by this relentless pseudoscience.

@gorzakus who else has it helped?
I am not going through the whole thread but if you read earlier posts on here you will find at least 4 members for who it helped.

I didn't try it again, maybe in July when I have a holiday or I might wait for the mute button device to try first. At least I know now that listening to headphones at low volume doesn't make things worse.

My tinnitus returned to baseline after I stopped listening and stayed that way.
 
In other words it didn't help knock out your tinnitus? I haven't used it enough to comment yes or no.
No it didn't knock out my tinnitus, but it made a big difference for my head noise. The disappointing thing was that it returned after a while when I stopped listening. Unfortunately I only used it for like two weeks instead of three as recommended.
I didn't count on that and I don't want to listen to these sounds every night for who knows how long.
 
Mr. Case what recommendation do you have to help tinnitus for those whose tinnitus is not able to be improved by your sound therapy? I am really frustrated with my tinnitus. I wish there was a drug available that helps tinnitus.
You can try detoxing, burdock root, apple cider vinegar, etc. The ear is one of the most sensitive organs to toxins.
 
Neither do I, since I just bought a Hyundai Kona Electric, which has a lot more creature comforts and safety features than your science project. (Looks like if you hit something that useless solar panel on the hood would come right through your windshield and slice you in half like Snoke in Last Jedi) Not that this has anything at all to do with tinnitus.
Yea it's easy to buy one, try building an electric solar vehicle.
 
I just rode my motorcycle to town with a helmet on (no earplugs). It didn't affect my tinnitus at all... same sorta low pitched static. I plan on trying Tinnitus Mix again in the near future.
 
I ran the mix through Audacity's spectral analyzer. This is what it looks like (there are 4 spectra because there are 4 main parts to the file with different characteristics each).

Audacity also has the ability to create Brownian noise. It's in the Generate menu, under Noise -> select Brownian. You can plot the spectrum on what's generated and you'll see it matches what the Wikipedia page shows. This is what it looks like:

They do not look similar at all.
Again you misunderstood, Tinnitus Mix has Brownian characteristics. I did not say it was brown noise or red noise. All I was trying to say was the device I built was a hybrid thermal transducer / oscillator and the randomness of the sounds was related to the work Brownian did on the influence of thermal energy on the movement of atoms. The short pulses will not show up either on spectral analysis nor will high frequencies unless so many wave lengths are presented, one short wave length of 22 kHz will not show up on that equipment.

I googled that car or rather clicked your link.. It would be nice to try out and compare with a standard gasoline engine. I wonder how the interior is heated? Must have very sophisticated batteries and motor.
 
He doesn't 'sell' them. He gives them away for $15. They are not worth 15 cents.

Then don't follow the thread, it really is that simple...
 
You say this pseudoscience is annoying you, yet you choose to follow it. Most people would tend to ignore something that bothers them... Methinks you are a troll then.
He's allowed to have an opinion. There's much reason to be bothered, seriously, this engineer provided no scientific evidence other than that a neurologist realized his sound therapy incorporates brown noise. While I commend the engineer for trying to offer something to help those with tinnitus, I have my doubts about the effectiveness of his therapy.

Again, why follow something if it is aggravating...
 
We don't exactly have a lot of choices to reduce/eliminate our noises, so it's worth a shot. Drugs have been inconsistent for me lately. Mixing and matching those with supplements can have side effects that could be dangerous.
 
In what way, for how long, how much and what is the follow up?
None of this ever gets answered in the ever increasing number of people "cured".
Actually I don't really care, I'm not here to promote anything.
I just know it worked for me and I posted my findings in detail in previous posts.

Ditto, it works for me, and that's all I care about. I just don't get it some folks are content to just slam whatever comes down the pipe, not only on here but on Facebook, seen it time and time again, no matter what it is. Maybe it's just me, but I'll try anything that is offered within reason and cost. David isn't charging a thing, except a reasonable cost to cover the CD cost, AND his file is free to download if one wants to go that route.

I would invite all of you to the test group to see the high success rates and see for your selves but disruptors like @GlennS would try to sabotage my work with their bitterness and negativity and the alter ego of king midis, instead of everything they touch turning to gold, everything rots.

You and @GlennS have cured no one, invented nothing to help tinnitus sufferers but gallop in on your high horse to burn me at the stake at sunrise.

Actually I don't really care,
Well, I do care, we can disagree on that, that is fine.

To be clear, I don't think that Mr. Case is a scammer or anything like that and he might have stumbled unto something here, that is quite possible, but he is quite liberal with his "cured" count and his science.

All this "a neuroscientist" analyzed and says it contains Brownian noise is designed to give it some sort of legitimacy when all it says is that it's random noise. Connecting 2 *555 timers in some sort of feedback loop is not magic.

People "cured" increases by a few every day whenever someone mentions "I think it might be doing something?"

I am also on the Facebook group and have observed this behavior. Maybe it's because he is now on the defense and I would kind of understand that, still, don't have to like it.

Why set up a "test" group when you just interpret the numbers like you want to?
500 people cured, probably 520 today. Can we talk to one of the people, is it someone from Tinnitus Talk or the Facebook group? I don't know, can't find them and yet the count keeps going up.

We do get to see screenshots so there is that.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with expecting a somewhat more professional behavior from someone making such extraordinary claims. I would absolutely love to be proven wrong.

If it helps you, great. That does not exclude any scientific rigor.

Please be careful with riding your motorcycle without earplugs, it was certainly a contributing factor to my tinnitus cause. If you search on YouTube you will find a lot of info on the dangers of wind noise. I will never ride my motorcycle again without earplugs and a full quality helmet.
 
Also, I did try this for a couple of weeks, slept with it on loop.
At first I felt that it might be helping with my horrible waking up tinnitus, but then... not so much.

So I am totally for people trying this, I can still feel annoyed by the way it's presented.

Yeah, I have the same, waking up to nasty static.

What test group? The Facebook group? I don't see these high success rates there, unless there is a different group.
I'm not sure either where the numbers come from? You would have to ask @R. David Case. I was just going to try it and see if I get some relief. I don't have any diazepam or klonopin atm, only gabapentin.
