Alrighty, so here's my accuser's quote:
This @JohnAdams character - I've seen him challenge - and not in a nice way - anyone who is associated with signal timing or related technology. He badgered someone on the mutebutton threads and I well expect him to come after me. But I am ok with that, it seems to be part of this site. You ignore people like that.
"He badgered someone on the mutebutton threads and I well expect him to come after me"

well I'm not coming after you, I'm defending myself against your LIES.

so here are all of my posts from the mute button thread.
When will this be available?
They better hurry the f up.
Actually my name is referencing the 6th president John Quincy Adams.
Are you going to help smuggle these into the US for us? C'mon man we saved your asses in WW2.
I think we all need to be cautious with MuteButton if we use it. It may give us confidence to encounter loud sounds and cause us to hurt ourselves further.
3:45 in what time zone?
We can change Istanbul back into Constantinople while we're at it.
So does it work or not? Easy question.

Why does there always have to be a brick wall between this community and any tangible information?

It's like we are floating through the void and there's whispers of various treatments or cures on the horizon and when we actually turn to look there's never anything there.
Either it works or it doesn't. These people need to understand that we urgently need relief. Why would this need 15 weeks?
Oh how so I disagree. I think the medical establishment in western civilization is a shame. Why does the peer review process need to take so long? Seems like a very arbitrary time frame anyway. Is it because of a lack of resources? That's pitiful.



No dude, Decibel Therapeutics. Not Susan Shore.
My wife works in "academia" and processes library loans and manages database subscriptions. She has shown me that one of the biggest obsessions in academic research right now involves gender studies and sexuality.

Because believing you have the wrong organ between your legs has a higher research priority than debilitating diseases.

Also many professors sit around on Facebook all day and complain about politics.
I have access, because of my wife, to a medical college's online subscription based databases. I'll look and see if I cant get my hands on this research myself. Just knowing if it works will give many of us what we very clearly deserve, hope. There are people on this site daily contemplating suicide and they need and deserve assurance. Especially considering that there will be profits made off of their horrible suffering. Idgaf I havent signed anything and I utterly despise secrets.
Well, if it doesn't work they have bankruptcy laws and they will surely be able to find other lucrative opportunities. The emphasis should be on helping people first.
This is very old news bruh.
What data?
If that is seriously a consideration to delay helping people in very serious need that are suffering then these are some truly evil people.


Maybe evil is too strong a word. But I just don't understand what the hold up for the different technologies that could help us is all about.

If they have something that can help us then they need to act with urgency. This point is why there was a need for right to try laws, to bypass red tape and potentially help people, faster. This is supposed to be about helping people.
Right but the spirit is still the same. Tinnitus makes people suicidal, suicide is fatal.

I also don't see the big deal. It's not dangerous.

How many drugs have been approved that are ototoxic and cause tinnitus in the first place?

I feel like they owe it to us to go much much faster.

They will probably ignore you.
Dude FX-322 is going to beat them to the market I bet, although that would only help with tinnitus from loss of hair cells.
Where are all the vets on this site?
That's what I think.
Is that why they promote TRT?
No, "they" as in the people that also claim that TRT is scientifically effective.

#poot button.
So is there an underlying theory as to how this is even supposed to work?
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.
Guiness is cool because the little torpedo stirrer thing.
I think the tinnitus will just go away on its own like in the earplug experiment, or like when people get cochlear implants.
How can this possibly help with hyperacusis?

Can we see some data?
Video #3 Aidan
"It's not that the volume decreased, but the intensity decreased"

So...…….

Video #4 Patricia
"It's gone"

What is she referring to by "it"? The volume of her tinnitus or her negative emotional response to the presence of her tinnitus?

Video #5 Hugh
He does in fact report a reduction of the volume of his tinnitus.

Video#6 Dorothy
Reports hiss gone, base tone still there.

Video #7 Ken
Reports spikes from certain sounds have stopped.

Notice that nearly all the of things the people in these videos reported an improvement in lack an objective ability to scientifically measure.
Intensity of what?
Then why would it be called "MUTE Button"?

mute
/myo͞ot/

verb
1.
deaden, muffle, or soften the sound of.
"her footsteps were muted by the thick carpet"
I stated that because so many times I've seen people critical of other things because there's no objective measures for certain things. I fully agree with you. I think if someone says they had chronic tinnitus and a treatment made it go away then that's good enough for me.
There's a place in France...
How in tarnation does the placebo effect work with tinnitus?
Where is it at?
Or an open source hardware and software explanation of how it works so anyone can make one and help suffering people faster and cheaper.

I would rather die than make one cent off of people's suffering.

I would break even or take a loss and sleep on the ground first.
If this can meet an unmet need and the data is good, why can't the FDA just let Americans buy this thing over the internet?

ATA?

Maybe demanding the FDA approve this once it's approved over in Britain should be a point for us to protest? Organize? Advocate?

so @Paul1980, what say you?

looks like not only did I NEVER badger anyone like you have now falsely accused me of, but I've offered to travel there to buy some for Americans, as well as advocate that we should lobby the FDA to allow this to be sold here.

dam son.....

i need to start a fan club or something.
 
@Contrast,

I think you have a great intellect. We are in a situation that is showing us a real nasty slice of life. We may not be in labs searching for a cure, but there's other aspects of this that could use your talents, mine as well. Maybe we should accept the fact that we may just have to be patient and continue to live our lives. I have no other choice, I have a young son. I'm in this for the long haul.

However in the meantime, maybe you should just go back to college and get a degree in something that will give you an ability to go after scammers in a more constructive and effective manner. I would love to create a lobby group to outlaw stuff like lipoflavinoids, and scam tinnitus cures. That requires planning and credentials and money and time. just throwing that out there.

c'mon guys, the post about the sounds repairing that guys penis.

that may be the funniest thing I've ever read in my entire life. true or not.
 
Well the octave selector either doubles or halves the freq. am I reading your question correctly?
yes.
an octave is a wave that's frequency is either a half or double. for instance, if you notice, a piano keyboard repeats a pattern of 12 keys over and over. If you go to the middle C key on a piano, the string it vibrates does so 261.625565 times per second aka hertz. If you go to the next C up the scale, it vibrates twice that fast, whereas if you go to the C down the scale from it, its string vibrates half that fast. Those are octaves.

The reason it is called an octave (octo=8) is because there are 8 keys out of the 12 in the repeating pattern that are called the major scale. So if you go up the 8 keys that make the major scale on a piano from any key, (say do ra me fa so la ti do) you will be on the same key just up one octave, which is a string that vibrates twice as fast. Same goes going backwards saying the scale backwards.

If you're interested, the formula for deriving the scale is like this. Include all keys, white and black, a whole step is going up two keys a half step is one.
Whole step = W
Half step = H
WWHWWWH
starting from any key, white or black, that pattern will take you to that keys upper octave. and that is a string that vibrates twice as fast.

the 12th fret on the guitar is also exactly half the length of the string, and the 12th fret of any string is the octave of that string. It's also the 2nd harmonic.

octaves will also resonate with their other octaves.

think of the first two notes of "Somewhere over the Rainbow" in the Wizard of Oz, the first two notes,

Some ..... Where... The "Where" is the next upper octave of "Some".
