Probably not. It could possibly make your/his tinnitus worse by using another person's individual configurations.
I love your optimism, I also have it mild and wish Lenire can cancel it completely.
I hope the software allows us to use two different settings. Because 8000-9000 euros converted to Turkish Lira literally equals to the price of a second hand luxury car here...
I'm pretty sure if you don't have detectable hearing loss up to 8 kHz (flat audiogram) than it wouldn't matter so you both can use it without readjusting the settings.
Unless you have an audiologist in your country that is trained in configuring the device to an individual's profile (unlikely until it's sold there), it will be very difficult to do. And when it's sold in your country, they won't reconfigure a device they didn't sell you. Especially not for another person.
I am in the same boat as you spedgas. I am in the US as well. I can afford it and can work around the revisit in six weeks, but I would still hate to travel over there only to tell me it wouldn't work for me. I am wondering if we could send an audiogram over for review. As far as the six week change you'd think in this day and age they could do a direct firmware or parameter change through USB or something along those lines. I also do slightly worry about Customs, but I am sure you could get around it or possibly have it shipped back to the US. I don't really want to wait around for years for the FDA to approve this.
I saw that Neuromod were hiring IoT professional along with some HW specialist few months ago on LinkedIn.
Do you believe everything depends on the audiogram? They can see from the audiogram if you will be able to respond to the treatment?
Based on the Q&A video that was my understanding and that is how they configured the device. I know their exclusion criteria stated you couldn't have more than an 80 dB loss, but that again was only for the trial parameters.
My understanding is that the only thing the audiogram is used for is to determine if you have the hearing level to hear the audio part of the treatment. I think the only adjustments made are to ensure the volume of tones where your individual hearing loss is at are adequate volumes for you to hear. Unless your hearing loss is profound I don't think the audiograms are a decent predictors of success.
Like take Ken for instance, his tinnitus dropped by 17 dB. I can hear mine in 35-40 dB rooms. I also have minor hyperacusis. If I can get a 17-20 dB reduction, it should put it below the threshold of hearing (20 dB), even at 23 dB, normal home noises will mask it.
I'm crossing my fingers Lenire is as good as Minnesota's technique, if it did THAT much for you, it should do wonders for a lot of us.
What's a quiet room, 25-35 dB? My decibel app has it in that range. If my tinnitus stayed at hearing it in a quiet room of 35 dB, I'd have it at 18 dB with a 17 dB reduction. I wouldn't even hear my tinnitus anymore?
I use Decibel X on my smartphone, I can hear mine beginning at 35-40 dB, depends on how severe it is.
I use Decibel Meter. Decibel X said my quiet room was 60 dB. That's wrong. 2 other apps said 25-38 dB for my quiet room.
It's a shame that it's almost 2020 and we still don't have a working treatment for tinnitus yet. Hopefully this first method will lay the groundwork for more methods and improvements until this awful monster is wiped from the face of the earth.
You obviously haven't been paying attention when you say there haven't been updates in months. For instance, did you skip over the photo they posted with the finished packaging? It's coming out soon. Sheesh...
