MemberHow do you stay in business in Seoul for this long if you're a scam artist? South Korea isnt some back water 3rd world country like England. What is England even doing for tinnitus? I'm tired of this ringing bullshit.

Why am I suspicious of this appointment? To me it smells of marketing more than science. Or maybe I'm just overly suspicious and cynical of audiologists. Or maybe there's nothing wrong with appointing a marketing guy. Ah I'm overanalyzing.
Regardless of whether it is for a marketing standpoint I don't think it has any effect of the device. Maybe they just want someone who knows people in American markets.
Why isnt every person on this site scrambling to determine if Dr. Minbo is legit or not? If he isnt a flat out liar then the audiograms on his site show profound results. I'm going as soon as I can.
The immediate path to tinnitus reduction very well could be right there. Either way looks like I'm going to be the first one here to test the waters because I've got the money I just need to get 2 weeks off work and an appointment and I'm there. I'm actually very excited to visit South Korea, and I feel safe about it now that Donald Trump has negotiated peace between the 2 Koreas. Obama never did anything remotely as significant and got the friggen Nobel Peace Prize. For what?

Please do your research and be careful. What is this "regeneration" drug he injects?
Maybe you can speak with them about this supposed drug and get some more info before you head out there.
How about I just read Dr. Minbo's patent and see exactly what he is doing, like I just did?
I now know exactly how his technique works. I am pretty sure that he has figured out hair cell regeneration. Think about that.
And while you're thinking about that, think about this, I'm going to South Korea.

I read some of your posts about your tinnitus getting better with a TMJ splint. I'm in a similar situation. My tinnitus came on shortly after dental and orthodontic work and my bite is misaligned. My two questions are: 1) was your tinnitus sudden onset and 2) what does/did your tinnitus sound like in silence -- is it one tone or is it multi-tone? During daily activities I can only hear a high-pitched hissing, but in silence I also hear a low hum and mid-frequency tone. I ask because I'm wondering whether that polytonal quality indicates a problem other than TMJ and whether I should spend the money on a splint like you did. No hearing loss either, btw
Thanks

I didn't mean to cast any doubt or deception. I'm just looking out for you! I don't want anything to happen to fellow MPPers!
To piggy back off this question. @threefirefour do you have to wear the splint all the time or just when you sleep?@threefirefour

no it's cool. the patent site says no copying the info, but it's not hard to find, and it auto translates.
long story short:
It looks like he extracts your blood and makes platelet rich plasma, which he then uses a dragon to inject into tympanic membrane.
"The growth factors and other cytokines present in PRP include:[17][18]
- platelet-derived growth factor
- transforming growth factor beta
- fibroblast growth factor
- insulin-like growth factor 1
- insulin-like growth factor 2
- vascular endothelial growth factor
- epidermal growth factor
- Interleukin 8
- keratinocyte growth factor
- connective tissue growth factor"
Insulin-like growth factor 1: A novel treatment for the protection or regeneration of cochlear hair cells.
"The mechanisms of (insulin like growth factor) IGF1-induced maintenance of hair cell number have been investigated using a cochlear explant culture system, which demonstrated that IGF1 acts on supporting cells, leading to the inhibition of hair cell apoptosis and the proliferation of supporting cells."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25937136
"By maintaining tight temporal regulation of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF), it was possible to generate otic placode-like epithelia that could differentiate into a sensory epithelium with cells possessing stereocilia bundles and kinocilia.

This technique may very well be just as effective or better than that of fx-322's. The before/after audiograms on his site were almost unbelievable.
Also, interestingly, I saw that Jeff Karp had filed a patent for hair cell regeneration in South Korea as well.
Also, I saw that Samsung Electronics had patents for gene editing or something like that.
1) Yeah, but it was onset because of earwax.@threefirefour

2) Inaudiable now, but it was multitone hissing, middle pitch. About 4480hz.
Could you hear the hissing over low-level ambient noise, and was it reactive to other noises (ie got louder just after air conditioning turned off, etc.)? For me, I can hear the hissing over most ambient noise, but the lower hum and mid tone I can only hear when it's very quiet. Thanks for answering my questions, it's much appreciated.
Edit: interestingly, the hissing is bilateral, but the other tones that I can't modulate as well are in my right ear only.
It was reactive, and for the first year I could hear it over low ambient but after a while I couldn't after a TMJ massage. My tinnitus was like that too, bilateral hissing, easier to modulate in my right ear.
I dig i @JohnAdams Tinnitus is BS and 1 REFUSE!! to have it for the rest of my life with this. I will play music again.
How do you guys think the internet affected/affects the ongoing state of medical research (in general)?
What did you do for jaw misalignment? A specific type of therapy??? Or something else??
there are two major tinnitus associations with full time staff. for at least two years there has been a Dr. in S. Korea claiming to cure tinnitus and there is an extensive thread on this site about it. why haven't they or someone else gone to look into this? people are killing themselves and discussing euthanasia and there is actually a clinic claiming to cure this. they have data. if they are lying shouldn't our advocates be looking into this to protect us? if they are telling the truth shouldn't our advocates be aware of this and directing us to his clinic? what is going on here? this is life and death? is anyone taking this seriously?
And your hissing that you could hear over low ambient noise is now gone? If so, that's fantastic. What did you do aside from a bite splint and massage?
The main thing I find aggravating is the hissing. The other low tones are only audible in complete silence so they don't bother me.
