I'm really sorry I'm not well versed in the scientific aspect of things when it comes to hearing loss and that is what you are ultimately seeking...
TV and music are both compressed. Modern audio is compressed more than ever in most cases. A large part of this is "brickwalling" the audio attracts the most attention from the brain. Especially commercials. That's why sometimes you go from watching a show at reasonable volume to suddenly being bombarded by loud commercials.
Natural speech in noise doesn't have this compression. The dynamic range is there. Plus you can situate yourself and the speaker in a quieter area or move them closer to you. So you can affect individual parameters of the environment. Also the 360 degree element of where sound is coming from in the environment vs in most cases what I'm guessing your listening to television and music in stereo vs 5.1 or 7.1 surround (if there is an alternate mix to accommodate those features) where things would be mixed differently and sounds separated further into the additional channels making them easier to distinguish.
I don't know if any of what I'm contributing here or your other thread helps you to be able to do the localizing but I'm trying.

Daniel's websites had "add to cart" or similar buttons that most likely did not list the price or give a far disclaimer and users would buy crap without realizing it.
This is fraud

I wish I could make loudhouse memes but I am very very busy I'm not ignoring you.
Please do not spoil things with innuendo and uncouth behaviour. Joking is fine nothing wrong with it but be respectful.

Now that I think of it, I was wrong to say that you had a point. To say that tinnitus is incurable and isn't terminal is to say that one might endure the suffering for decades. And THAT is indeed the worst thing about tinnitus. If one were to know that it will be gone in 5 years, one wouldn't be Nearly as bothered by it as when one knows that one might have to endure it for the rest of one's life, which might be over 50 years for some people.

Okay I'm done with a PDF containing all the complaints about scams and failures to provide refunds
but to be fair there are a few people who did claim to get refunded I will have to list those as well in a separate document.

You are entitled to your opinion even when it's wrong.
I maybe old fashioned but I do not make inappropriate jokes to women, especially those with sexual undertones. Never have done and never will, even though some have tried it with me and I soon distance myself from them. This was the reason for my comments to the poster in question.

If you are talking about TRT or CBT, there are many testimonials from people who claim that it has helped them. In the absence of treatments, it is a good idea to let newbies know about TRT and CBT.

He's disrespecting the suffering of others by insinuating their problem is 90% psychological and only 10% physical.

This was the reason I posted Habituation and Treatments for tinnitus on a separate thread, to help people that are new to tinnitus and not believe the negativity and untruths that is constantly reported by non believers in these treatments. I have said repeatedly that Habituation can reduce the perception of tinnitus, due to the brain pushing it further into background. The mere fact that many people who have habituated to tinnitus outside of this forum and say: At first I couldn't stand it, but over time it got less. Now I hardly hear it. Some have said they don't hear the tinnitus at all, unless they focus on it. My post: Darkness into light: is about a forum member that had a lot of difficulty with tinnitus. He thought his life was over and would never get better.
In my post he clearly says: "it changes over time, now I rarely hear it unless I'm in a quiet room". So, for many people tinnitus does improve and the perception of the noise does decrease. Whether one was to be pedantic and say perception isn't the same a volume, to me, it's neither here nor there. The fact of the matter is many people with tinnitus discover over time it improves. Sometimes without specialist treatment and for some it is needed. To say tinnitus treatments do not work is incorrect.

Not if you also have hyperacusis. Some people like Gaby Olthuis had severe tinnitus and could not habituate. You are selling this like it will always work.
Please read my post: The habituation process. I explain habituation at length. I also explain tinnitus is complex and some people cannot habituate. There are various reasons for this. Sometimes, it's because the person will accept nothing less than a complete cure and therefore will not habituate. For some people their tinnitus is so severe makes habituation impossible and life becomes extremely difficult. These people are often under the care of hospital and take medication. Please read the post. I am not saying habituation and tinnitus treatment will definitely work for everyone.
However, you and your friends are adamant that habituation doesn't work nor do treatments such as TRT and CBT. With respect, you are quite wrong when you say someone with hyperacusis cannot habituate. Quite wrong indeed. I had very severe hyperacusis. So severe I had to ask people to lower their voice during conversation. The hyperacusis was completely cured in 2 years with TRT which involved counselling and wearing white noise generator 10hrs a day.
I also cover this in my post: The habituation process. Tinnitus with hyperacusis can make habituation more complex but still can be achieved. Sometimes naturally and sometimes with specialist treatment by seeing an Audilogist or Hearing Therapist that specialises in these treatments. I am not saying a person will be cured. However, with treatment their symptoms can be improved and they can have a better quality of life. Some people may not respond to treatment, I understand this. However, treatments such as TRT, CBT, Counselling, Medication and sound therapy: used separately or in combination can help a person with tinnitus to improve their quality of life. I hasten to add I am not saying this will apply to everyone but it's better to try than never try at all. And say nothing can be done!

You need to create a poll to find out one way or the other. I certainly don't want him to leave.

I've seen testimonials saying that it reduced people's Perception of the volume.
I know it wouldn't be effective for me, but I can't speak for others.
