I think anything that works consistently would be a big big win.
Mutebutton device is having their year long study with over 600 patients presented.
How do you guys feel about noise meter apps?
I feel as if they are very inaccurate. I downloaded 2 and they aren't even close to similar readings. With my car windows open at my job's parking lot I get the following:
DB Meter app: 55 dB
Decibel X Pro: 63 dB
One is almost reading twice as loud as the other. Also 60 Db is supposed to be a normal conversation level. In my car it is almost silent besides far off traffic noise and crickets. So I have no idea how it is reading 63 in a quiet car.
When I talk with my phone 3 feet away it reads.
DB Meter app: 62 dB
Decibel X Pro: 65 dB
They are measured on DB Z if that makes a difference since I noticed that produces the highest readings compared to A, B & C. Seems to me these are horribly innacruate. I am getting a legit decibel reader from Amazon and will compare.

More information about the device and company.
They say that the treatment can have long lasting effects for months and potentially years!

Yeah you need a dedicated db meter specifically designed and calibrated for that purpose.
Comrades! if this thing is very expensive then we need to help each other buy this and potentially share them.
O'Neill says that
after just six to 12
weeks of daily 30- to
60-minute therapy
sessions with the
device, patients
report improvement
that lasts for months
or even years.
The pricing and reimbursement model
for Neuromod's device has yet to be
determined, but will likely be compa-
rable to that of hearing aids, for which
patients generally pay between $2,500
and $5,000 out of pocket.
If this thing really works and the data seems legit and all, i'll happily chip in something if someone can't afford it. We could also start a fund for someone who really struggles and doesn't have the money.
But lets wait how the results are.

I was legit thinking about this the other day. I know some on here aren't in the best position financially, but I would happily contribute to a fellow TT member who is struggling and can't afford it.
We would have to figure out a way to ensure that people who need it actually get it and not some random who just wants something for free. Maybe we could have restrictions, like them being an active member of TT and also have been active for a certain amount of time. Also require them to post updates consistently after getting the device?
I am 100% serious about this too. I have suffered with tinnitus for so long and understand how painful this condition is that I wouldn't want anyone to live with it. Maybe once we have more information about the device we could talk with TT administration about setting something like this up.
Eh that will probably be really hard to evaluate. Either we just trust someone we already know or maybe we find some other way. No idea honestly. But if we can help someone that would be awesome
