I too am skeptical due to their first device's failure. Obviously they thought they had a successful device back then too... otherwise they wouldn't have sold it.
They think they have another success right now, that doesn't necessarily mean it will work.
@Markku is also seeking volunteers for transcribing the Q&A with David from the BTA:
Don't mean to put words in anyone's mouth, just thought it may be helpful if I'd link these.
I volunteer to transcribe ten minutes of any video, figure it should take an hour?
Markku or Hans or whoever you can PM me.
I dunno what to think myself. Let's wait for the Q&A... it will reveal a lot in terms of the overall feel...

January next year is the plan. In Ireland first.
Yes. The whole field of bi-modal stimulation excites me. It's the missing ingredient (even though it may not be for everyone), giving the brain a kick to say "hey, listen to this and stop making that bloody noise"
This is addressed in the video, the first thing we discuss is the reasoning of coming away from the market and what they learned from it.

As @Markku has pointed out, we did get through quite a lot in the Q&A.
The original plan had been to go to the clinic to try out a device but the time got eaten up so I tried it out less formally in the office. There was just so much that had been asked and we wanted to make sure we answered as much as possible of the Tinnitus Talk questions.
Me and Markku did a screen share earlier today to go through a few things, the production is progressing well and as usual Markku is doing an excellent job, it's looking great so far! We could have just sandwiched bits together but frankly that would have been a bit crap. Instead this is a situation where you will all be pleased that Markku is a perfectionist as he is inserting questions and will be indexing them so you can easily find the parts that interest you the most.
Of course it's easy for me to ask everyone to be patient, because I already know all of the answers

You gave up your opportunity to test out MuteButton in the clinical setting so you could make sure you got all our questions in?As @Markku has pointed out, we did get through quite a lot in the Q&A.

You are a better man than I.
2019.2019? or 2020? Sorry, just wanting to be sure... we are so close to January now...
Gonna have to find an audiologist in Dublin as soon as it's out... I won't be patient enough to wait 12 weeks to hear about some results... I guess I'll be one of us reporting about it.
@Steve
Can't wait for the full Q&A!
Can you share what the prognosis is for those with severe hyperacusis?
- No hope
- A little hope
- A lot of hope (e.g. Neuromod claims it works even better on hyperacusis than tinnitus)
I'm guessing not much because they use high sound levels?
Use high levels of sound? How loud and where did you get this from?
I cannot remember the source. But I think it was 70 dB... (which is loud for me)
I feel like I might be spreading fake rumours. Apologies if that's the case.

It's a lot of money in any country dude. I've started working on my pitch to my folks for an advance of whatever money they might be able to throw my way when they buy the farm / throw a six / cark it.
The amount of hype for this is ridiculous, especially considering we have seen zero efficacy data. I don't even think this will work to lower tinnitus volume.
Up and down like a yoyo on this - It's unreal... The hype is being brought about by the upcoming Q&A which looks like it divulged quite a lot of positive info.
@Steve is a very credible character and if he is excited then I have to admit so am I.
Only a few weeks and I'll be trying it - Beats cutting the auditory nerve on the ear any day if it works... Plus they should have the return policy if it doesn't work after 12 weeks...
Let's all be positive here - This could be it folks! Against all the odds this could be it!
We are so desperate, I agree
Maybe because of the work of University of Minnesota and Michigan this one seems to bring something "new" to the table... I fear @RCP1 is right saying this might be the same device as the previous MuteButton... would be so sad to say the least if that's the case...
I'm really looking forward to the Q&A to have something more to convince me it's legit.
I would pay this price even if it only helped me while using the device, to say the truth... I'm that desperate.
And knowing I have had chronic tinnitus for the last 14 years with multiple tones in both ears, I believe in my case this device won't be super effective anyway.
My daughter goes to Maynooth University - Where Dr Ross got his PhD and started off the Company.
If this works, I will hunt him down and buy him many pints!
If it doesn't work I will hunt him down and...
Tiocfaidh ar Lá.

FX-322 is made to regrow hair cells and restore hearing which will probably eliminate most tinnitus cases. The hype should be with this.We are so desperate, I agree

A doctor in South Korea claims that he can cure tinnitus with growth factor injections into the ear, which would presumably achieve the same results.
We just need someone to fly there and test the waters.
