Sounds good. I completed the booking assessment. I've felt hesitant to start the process since my tinnitus is considered mild, but because spikes are lasting longer and getting louder (loud enough I can hear it over a highway) and it's happening more and more often, 2020 is far away so I might as well get the train going.
That's not true. AM-101 was in phase III of clinical trials after showing some promise in stage II. Phase III is the final phase before submission for approval and it generally takes a medication 10 years to get through all three phases and be approved for prescription.
The criteria for clearing medical devices is lower than that of medications.
They tell you to do nothing, literally sit back, relax and zone out during the treatment. They also recommend you stay sat upright throughout.
They didn't unfortunately, but based on the people here who have appointments and the kind of questions they ask - I get the feeling their "acceptance" requirements are quite open. My opinion, they're vetting people who they deem will see the most benefit from the product and trying to stop people from making a financial commitment to something that may not be right for them. Additionally, a lot of these questions could be for creating their patient "profile" as each device is calibrated to that individuals profile.
Absolutely not, no - I'm under the impression that loudness has absolutely no bearing on being accepted or not. They play white noise until you no longer hear your tinnitus, I also have hyperacusis but at no point was it uncomfortable or too loud. I guess this is subjective though.
The treatment is designed at 1 hour of use, everyday, for 12 weeks which equates to around 84 hours I believe. Which means the tongue tip covers the treatment, and then some.
Yes, I have an appointment for a device fitting in roughly a months time. Still have some decisions to make though
My tinnitus fluctuates. Currently, I have luckily a lower period (some days). I would rate it a 4/10 (which I have very seldom). Normally it is between 8/10 and 10/10.
I think they are unlikely to want to turn away older customers as they represent a very large segment of tinnitus sufferers seeking treatment. But I think that even the older customers promoted in their literature experienced only moderate improvement.
This would be the sort of information that would definitely be worth tracking.
I just sent an email to a GAES center in my country asking them if they will offer Lenire.
Maybe you can try and inform them it is an alternative treatment to sound therapy and that it doesn't work for you?I just sent an email to a GAES center in my country asking them if they will offer Lenire.
"We already offer a treatment for tinnitus" (sound therapy).
It's so hard. Days ago I sent an email to a local researcher asking her opinion about bimodal neuromodulation and she didn't even answer me.
I am in the same boat. I will just make it a nice little five day vacation in Ireland and go from there. Best of luck to you!
At least from the people that post here you seem to be one of the few not living in Europe that have an appointment with them. That's an enviable thing to have. I'm certainly jealous.
Haven't seen you for a while Nanny, hope it all goes well for you and good luck. Try and not worry too much. Hope Devon is treating you nicely
They seem to be digging every road up in the UK. It's a tinnitus sufferer's best friend, all that noise haha, well here's hoping it all works out for you, I know you've had a tough journey.
Hope that the filthy bunch of thieves never get their hands on this, otherwise they're going to screw us and squeeze til the last cent from our lives. Bloody mofos charge €7000 for a TRT treatment which they know it doesn't work. They act like scavengers from the very first moment you step in their clinics. It scares the shit out of me to read in Neuromod's website that "each clinic will charge what they consider right depending on how they value their time". Sorry but I don't even consider a wise move to let GAES know what's going on with Lenire. They'll use their claws and fangs to be the ones handling it in Latin-American/Spanish market and we better don't want to know what amount of cash they can ask for. Then they are useless morons when it comes to tune hearing aids, etc... Don't talk about the Devil, compadre o nos vana reventar la cartera y la vida estos hijos de perra.I just sent an email to a GAES center in my country asking them if they will offer Lenire.

I didn't know GAES was like that. The problem is that traveling 4 or 5 times to Ireland and buying the device would cost almost like a new car for me (plus: language problems).
They will need at least 10-15 clinics in operation before they can recoup their investment. That's assuming they continue to operate at full capacity. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
I've been looking at both, but I feel more optimistic about Lenire. If I had the money to fly to Ireland and pay for the treatment, I'd rather use it for that than on cryptocurrency. Since I don't have enough money to do that right now, I have some money in cryptocurrency and am hoping to be able to profit and use that to help paying for the treatment.
