Indeed, we are on the same page
Except for the fact that I have simply never heard any proponent of CBT claim that it's a "cure." Even those who administer it and those who research it, and I've talked to a few, will acknowledge it's just something that can provide some relief until we have an actual cure. As for funding, I don't think it's quite as bad as you believe; only a small proportion of tinnitus research funding goes into CBT and related stuff, see this recent post from David with some hard data on that.
Mutebutton Update:
I'm sorry to get everyone so hyped. I actually feel really bad and upset that I made everyone so excited for nothing.
Looks like were gunna have to wait around 3-4 months for the peer review process to finish and for them to release the information. The good news is that if they are going to peer review, one would optimistically think that it is somewhat legit. @Steve, who talked with them personally, seems optimistic about it and I have faith in his opinion on this matter. @RCP1 also mentioned that a very high up ENT in Ireland is on board with this device, which one can assume works or else the doctor is jeopardizing the integrity of his career.
I understand that this is very optimistic thinking, but to be honest that's all we have going for us right now. I know this product isn't going to cure us, but it may help many of us reduce our symptoms.
Again, I apologize for hyping everyone for no reason.

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Initially they released it fast without proper research and got panned. Now they are taking their time and making sure to do things right and they get panned
They've taken the time and got some pretty impressive names on board with the testing and with the company. One thing for sure is that the results will be as valid as they come.
I'm most excited because if it all comes out good then we've got a nice race on our hands for different forms of bi-modal and it will push research in general forward.
Ok fair enough, he is a very decent drummer, but he is nothing like Neil Pert, John Bonham, Jon Fishman etc. I'm just saying he has not supreme technique.
Oh I agree 100% These men are a league of their own.
I'm also a huge fan of porcupine tree and Gavin Harrison

Lars all the way for me, but then again I was a teen metaler. Probably the moshing that buggered my neck and contributed to the somatic tinnitus.
You are right. I should have stated "satisfactory solution", not "cure" (more on this later). Also - I am referring principally to TRT, not CBT.Indeed, we are on the same page
I am very glad to hear this. I obtained a different impression from what I read online, but I will readily acknowledge that as a real-life tinnitus activist you have much more in-person knowledge of the matter. Again, please note that I am referring principally to TRT.
I hear you, and I would be very glad if this is true (I'm not saying it's not true. Lol)
As an aside, I want to post further on this, specifically regarding TRT, its widespread clinical acceptance and the implications of that. I plan on doing a write-up. Just saying. (Lol)
Thanks @Hazel for your response, and for all that you do. (No Lol) (Lol)

Ah well, that's a different story indeed. I am personally also suspicious of TRT for the simple fact that no one's ever been able to explain to me what it is (!). Google CBT or mindfulness and you'll find plenty of reputable resources that clearly and consistently describe the techniques, but TRT apparently can mean whatever the proponent says it means.
I'd be very interested to read it. In fact, if you'd be willing to provide an outline of your piece we could consider publishing it as a blog post? If you're interested, PM me, Markku and Steve.
Thanks, much appreciated!
I hear you. I found the following article (by Pawel Jastreboff and Margaret Jastreboff) to be a pretty clear, if short delineation of some parts of the TRT treatment model, although the counseling segment (which presumably takes up the lion's share of TRT treatment time) does indeed seem very non-specific, for lack of a better term.

Thank you for your interest. I plan on doing the write-up, but I'm something of a perfectionist so it may take a while. I also need to see if I can find sufficient info for an accurate description of TRT, and for an overall valid epistemology.
Cheers
I didn't know Quebec had its own sign language. Neat. I assume it's like ASL because of the French influence.

Some quotes:
"Finally, Jastreboff and Hazell have been very effective in advocating and promoting TRT relentlessly to the clinical community, offering structured training courses internationally for clinicians to learn how to conduct TRT. Participation in and completion of a TRT training course has effectively served the tinnitus clinical and patient community as qualification to conduct TRT. These ongoing training efforts, together with numerous presentations at professional and scientific meetings by Jastreboff, Hazell, and independent clinicians using TRT, propelled TRT to the forefront of treatment for debilitating tinnitus at the turn of this century."
"Jastreboff and Jastreboff ... contended that an appropriate test of TRT would be a "meta-analysis" of studies from multiple sites using the protocol. They also argued that "a randomized trial with some agreeable controls" is unnecessary because "the validity of this study, time frame, and sample of patients will be questionable and will face many ethical issues""
