I have a question, since the tone changed, does this make it easier to mask or at least ignore in day to day life like at work, at the store, driving, etc.?
Yes. I wouldn't apply for a job in a library, but in most day-to-day situations, it's more easily masked. I was in a 2 day training seminar last month, and thanks to the ancient heating system being switched, I was struggling to hear my tinnitus.
@Drone Draper that was a wonderfully written and well-informed post in the Lenire User Experiences thread.
Thank you for taking the time to put it out there. I hope things go well.
Thanks. I know from LinkedIn that they are looking to partner with audiologists in the UK, so hopefully you can access Lenire with ease, if you want to.
I am still utterly mystified by such a comment.
Think about it this way: what would be more annoying and intrusive over time - The Flight of the Bumblebee on repeat OR the constant sound of a soft fan? I would love to tell you that I had a massive decrease of 30 dB of my tinnitus, but I want to be honest. I consider this to be an improvement, but I still have tinnitus.
I don't recall Neuromod making truly strong claims, but they have said that a lot of users have had a "significant improvement". What that means in an academic setting can be different to what it means to us as laypersons. I want anyone who parts with their money to go in with their eyes wide open and not expect too much. By Neuromod's standards, my improvement may be seen as statistically significant, but to some it's probably underwhelming.
Thank you for the review Drone Draper. Maybe we need a bass line to go with the guitar tabs? I play by ear too.
Haha, sure. I will see if I can post a recording of the actual music and upload to the user thread.
Another testimonial, another depressing moment for me... only my personal opinion.
I'm sorry to hear that, but hopefully you will appreciate an honest review over a shill. There are some more positive testimonials, hopefully you could be a better responder. I want to everyone dealing with Neuromod to be as clear as possible with what they can expect. €2,500 plus flights and accommodation is a lot of money to some.
I tend to disagree, tone and pitch matters if it comes to level of annoyance, at least for me. I have 2 tinnitus sounds, both are of the same volume, low pitch hum in left ear and head cricket. I couldn't care less about the hum, while the cricket annoys me as hell. If the cricket was gone and hum stayed, and my tinnitus volume remained the same, but qualify of life would increase dramatically.
Exactly. I've had various sports injuries over the years. On Good Friday this year, I popped a rib deadlifting. It was as fun as it sounds. I've also strained my lower back deadlifting. I will take a strained lower back over a popped rib any day. Both are injuries. One is significantly worse.
@Drone Draper,
Your post was very informative and helpful. Did Neuromod make any comment about wearing the in-ear maskers (on whether they affect treatment, results, etc.)? Is it okay to wear the maskers during the 12 week treatment/and after?
They were surprised I'd been given hearing aids, given my "normal" audiogram, though masking can sometimes help even people with a "normal" audiogram. They said I could continue use them if I wanted to, but obviously not using masking while using Lenire.
