Neuromod are not in the tech area. Tech area is much closer to the city center.
What? The whole deal with Lenire is that hyperacusis sufferers are supposed to be "super responders".
Just to clarify. Lenire has NOT given me hyperacusis. I already have hyperacusis in respect of certain sounds. Motorbikes, crockery, sirens, dogs barking, babies crying etc which is unchanged. The 'loudness' I hear is just that. Everyday speech etc just sounds 'louder' but not painful. I just take my hearing aids out and it's a normal level. Hope that helps. I don't know if anyone else has an opinion on their hyperacusis after using Lenire. Just my experience. Should this go in the Lenire User's thread?
Could that mean your hearing is actually improving? Maybe the loudness is more of what you are supposed to experience with more normal hearing?
You don't need to check in anywhere, head up right away with the elevator to the 2nd floor where Neuromod will be at the end of a hallway in Suite 18.
Just for the sake of clarity;@Fifth Business,
As @Phi said Neuromod's on the outskirts of the city.
Figuring out how to get there was slightly painful so here's a guide, hope it helps someone:
Neuromod Medical is in a large hospital complex called Hermitage Clinic. It is fairly close to a hotel, the Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley, and there's a bus (the Airport Hopper, number 767 or 777) that goes to it directly from the airport.
The bus is a bit confusing because it has no schedule (or at least doesn't adhere to the one that is on Google Maps) and its bay isn't marked either. So you gotta go to the bus terminal at the airport and wait until you physically sight the bus - it'll be red and prominently display Airport Hopper on the side. It's a van, not a "full" bus. Comes by twice a hour or so, and waits a few minutes before it leaves. Then you need to ask for a ticket to Liffey Valley which will be 11 euros and can be paid in cash or with card. Ride time will be around 30 minutes.
Google Maps will be able to guide you from there to the Hermitage Clinic, it's a roughly 15 minute walk through a non-pedestrian area (major roads and roundabouts). There is pedestrian pavement, though.
Once you get to Hermitage you'll see Neuromod posters to reassure you that you're in the right place.
If possible, bring euro coins to feed to the vending machines, Hermitage's cantina is cool but had a very long line when I was there.
No hyperacusis. My tinnitus and hearing impairment are noise induced. Too many gigs & clubs when I was younger.
LOL. Apologies. I did feel I was overconfident about knowing that number from heart.
Do they think that you are not benefiting because of your hearing loss. Any insights?
Are you in Dublin? Want to meet up?
Ah I see. I don't have my appointment yet, but I'll let you know when I do! I'm a big Guinness fan so I've always seen that as a plus of trying to get over there lol
They did; they said the same to me, that FDA approval was being processed but that it was a very lengthy process.
I would have mate, but I'm back home now. I live in Northern Ireland, so just drive up and down for appointments. I did get the chance to grab coffee with @Cojackb which was really nice.
No need to apologise. I just wanted to make sure no-one misinterpreted my comment about sounds being louder. It hasn't worsened the hyperacusis which, as you say, is horrible and adds another level of difficulty to the tinnitus. Fingers crossed we get some help with that as well in the near future. Good luck. Liz.
The last contact I had with them was dated August 20th (I originally contacted them in July) and they said "The 2020 appointments will be set up late September/October and we will contact you then regarding and update on appointments."
