No, he's right. You're just angry because you have suffered for years without anything helping. Now that the first thing that does help is out, you're treating it like all the other junk you tried in the past. It's called projection.
I do have comprehension issues - I genuinely couldn't discern what point you were trying to make, other than the thinly veiled accusation that I was somehow trying to con people as a Neuromod stooge.
Ok my apologies, to everyone... I wasn't directing my general cynicism at anyone on the forums, or even this device.
As a long term sufferer you should have learned a lesson by now: Hope is VITAL for us. Not the kind of hope which makes you vulnerable to scams. Other kind of hope. You are not helping anyone by deliberately shattering it.
Sorry if you've been asked this a lot so far. Is your tinnitus noise induced? What about its severity?
But 20 dB of narrow-band noise around your tinnitus frequency should mask it, am I right?
What he said was from the first study they didn't see much more improvement after 6 weeks. That's why in the second study, they did a settings change at the 6th week and therefore saw more improvement.
I skimmed through it and he's not really saying anything that Lim didn't say in the (removed) leaked Vimeo video. Note that he doesn't mention anything about patients continuing on after 12 weeks and getting more and more reprogramming sessions at the clinic, but that seems to be what's happening now with end-users.
What he also said was that the lack of improvement after 6 weeks on the initial testing protocol was due to habituation, which is why they changed the timing signals going forward.
Thank you for that. In the article it says:
Also, if this is a recent interview, he isn't mentioning how people are faring with it now that it's been out longer than 12 weeks. I mean, they must have a much larger dataset than before.
Yep, noise induced. Moderate high frequency hearing impairment. Tonal tinnitus at c. 6 kHz and c. 50 dB white noise MML (75-80 dB real world).
I understand the hope but I think it's unrealistic to expect such a drug. The fact big pharma has deep pockets doesn't mean they can cure every ailment with magic pills by simply writing out a big R&D check.
999% agree. I was just kidding. When reaching that point of my multiple considerations about this ailment I always ask myself: Is a cure a realistic goal? Isn't it like asking for recovering the sense of touch for your fingertips after having your hands chopped off?
It seems a bit premature to think that it's unrealistic to develop such a drug given that we don't yet even have the physiology of the experience understood.
Also they like to spend more money on marketing these days than actual R&D. They like to buy the R from universities.
It's premature to think it's impossible, but reasonable to think it's unrealistic. Unrealistic = not easy to solve, and there should be no debate on that point.
Well, perhaps if they invested in Hough Ear Institute or the University of Arizona.
Just want to say how grateful I am that you've come back to post an update and hope others who've tried Lenire do the same.
I think the better analogy is stopping the sensation of pain in your hands that have already been cut off.
My current frame of mind isn't really hopelessness but based on what I'm hearing so far I think Lenire is a very "beta test" device. So I'm hoping that between now and when it shows up in the US we'll be told that they've refined it and improved efficacy. That's my wishful thinking, my Dumbo feather, as it were. And if that doesn't work, there's always Minnesota or Susan Shore, but who knows how long that will really take.
University of Michigan (Dr. Shore), MAYBE next year. If we're lucky.
I've been saying this for months but nobody ever listens. Michigan definitely has the superior device (at the moment anyway, that could change). Lenire works, but it's without a doubt the weaker variant of the two.
