MuteButton

I'm glad you had a good experience, but from what you say here, this is NOT a cure for tinnitus. It's another psychological treatment designed to make you not care that you have tinnitus. For those of us who want 'no sound' this is useless.

No one is promoting it as such. If 'no sound' is your goal, you will probably be disappointed.

Yeah that's the one that stuck out the most as in hmmmm that's a very strange non reaction. That being said it could simply be she was nervous being on camera or just somebody who doesn't show that much emotion?

I'll wait for more info and hopefully more testimonials before I make my mind up. Maybe we are reading too much into the reactions, I think we are just too excited/happy that this may actually help some people at least with some volume reduction.

Still bit skeptical but I think that's healthy as I don't want to get too excited.

Putting the pieces together I think she just had very mild tinnitus which had never really bothered her much. Which is maybe why this thing totally cured her and only mildly helped some of the more severe cases like walking dead.

Really wondering if you can use the device for more than 12 weeks... so perhaps he could use the device again and actually reduce the volume the second time around.

Then why would it be called "MUTE Button"?

Yeah that makes more sense, tbh any volume reduction would be good.

MuteButton is no longer the name of the product.

This is my main question. I wonder how safe it is to use longer than the 12 weeks and would it make a further reduction the more it's used or just keep it at the same level it was reduced to?

Why is there so much negativity in this thread? I understand that you have anticipation anxiety, but there is so much skepticism that it's getting ridiculous.

First you are literally hours away from Q&A and second you will know within 1-2 months if this thing is real or not from trusted sources.

Stop looking too much into this and stop questioning the reviews from their website. Just be happy for those lucky people.

Guys, please try to calm down, I understand how you are feeling, I am desperate for relief too, my tinnitus is severe and unmaskable by any sound under 80-85 dB- it pierces through everything.

If someone from this forum leaves a positive report about this device I will buy it immediately. I will fly out to Ireland if I have to.

I don't think there has been much negativity, skepticism yes but that's understandable. People are nervous, happy, anxious etc.

I think it's been so long since anything has come along that looks promising and after other failed devices people are getting hyped for something that may actually help them. It's good to question things.

I agree we should wait for the Q&A but human "beans" as @Jazzer would say are curious creatures. I'm sure everybody is happy for the ones who this device helped, I don't think nobody said any different.

A shout out to @Markku and @Steve and @Hazel and anybody else who have been working hard on the Q&A - it's appreciated so much.

Fully agree. This thread almost has an end of school feel to it. I think it's good we remain healthily skeptical for now.

It would be a real doozy if I turned out to be Pawel Jastroboff that's for sure.

If neither sound nor volume reduction is a goal here then what is the objective of this treatment? No emotional reaction? Come on, that's another habituation story which I have had enough of.

 

[Bambam0]

What do they really care if it fails again?!? With two other similar devices being developed which are highly likely to be more effective, they know this is their last chance to put something on the market and try and take another slice of the tinnitus desperation pie. And it it fails again who cares and who will even hold them remotely accountable?!? Nobody...... Because nobody give a flying fuck about people with ringing ears and their invisible plight.

Because when you're a business you invest time and money to gain a return on your investment. If you invest time and money and there is no return, what's the point?

That said, I remain optimistic and skeptical at the same time. I will not get my hopes up.

 

[Bambam0]

I wonder if you need to keep using it continuously and if so would it benefit you more the longer you use it?

That's the most interesting thing with this whole entire product IMO. All of these patient stories and trial statistics are based on 12 weeks of use. What happens after say, 24 months, or a year of daily use or just straight on use moving forward?

I think the worst part of tinnitus is that you have virtually NO control and giving sufferers some sort of control changes the game completely.

Especially when a company has 'failed' already. If they screw this up they're finished.

People in the patient videos have said they either had a reduction in volume, disappearance of tones or tinnitus completely.

I'm done with the speculation. I'm going to concentrate on every word said in that video. I wish I was in a position to get my hands on it early, but I'm in the US. In six months time the intranet is either going to make or break this device.

 

[ruud1boy]

Intensity of what?

Errr…..her tinnitus?

"Soften" and they are considering changing the name...........................

 

[ruud1boy]

What is the difference between intensity and volume?

If you don't know, that suggests your tinnitus doesn't vary in intensity. Mine varies in both perceived volume and the actual intensity of the noise - and no, I can't explain what I mean by that.

I guess it's like engine power and engine torque - I know what the difference is but I couldn't explain it in terms that someone who doesn't know can understand.

This has been my biggest problem with it all along. It's too gimmicky in my negative mind.

Release the guinea pigs.

Nope.

 

[OnceUponaTime]

@Markku Is the Q&A video up yet???? No rush you know...

 

[spedgas]

And it it fails again who cares and who will even hold them remotely accountable?!? Nobody...... Because nobody give a flying fuck about people with ringing ears and their invisible plight.

How strong are the assumptions that the other two devices in development will be more effective? Is this because they both use somatic pathways to get to the target area in the brain? And ultimately which becomes available in the US first. Susan Shore or Neuromod?

 

[Zeneth]

I still want to know how many people this didn't work on.
These testimonials do seem genuine though, everybody had a different, yet positive outcome.

They've literally spent ages on this, I don't think they'd spend years, just for it to be a scam.

 

[kelpiemsp]

Does the Minnesota team use pulses on the tongue as well? Or is it external like Susan Shore's?

External, but different from Shore's. I think the University of Minnesota is the furthest along in their approach. It's the least invasive.

I understand. My tinnitus fluctuates a lot. I have moderate (good) and severe (bad) days. It changes during sleep. Some noises are gone. And then come back.

 

[Sam Bridge]

So if this works then Susan Shore's device is not required?

 

[Bndsmheowqhe]

"Especially when a company has 'failed' already. If they screw this up they're finished."

Being the gentleman that I am, I would be more than happy to offer the young blond lass that works there a place to stay if the company goes under.

 

[RCP1]

Guys it's coming soon and it works in majority of cases to lower volume. Do I believe it?

Yes I do. Is it going to work for me - Good chance.

Will I have tinnitus in 4 months - It'll be like x% of its volume and then I'll go again to kill it off.

Wonderful news from Neuromod. They've really kicked tinnitus's a$$.

Those folk weren't acting guys. They were pretty satisfied with the product.

2019 is the year the British Empire finally drew its last breath and disappeared completely and the year the Irish beat tinnitus. I wish my Grandad were here to witness such a proud moment in Irish history.

I'm working on the basis that Susan Shore's university sent me an email saying I had helped them raise 5 billion dollars not long ago. (Obviously not for this device - but the point being they're loaded). The Irish raised about 40 pence by comparison.

You've got to imagine that given the media hype around Shore already that she's on to something pretty f***ing big. I think when her device comes out we might see the first ever 'Tinnitus cured' headlines in mainstream press......But I also think it might be 3 years away and sadly some of us might be brown bread by that point.
