She wanted to make sure that enough stimulation was coming through the auditory system. I would be surprised if that threshold wasn't raised for the commercial version.
That's something I never even thought about. I'm concerned as labyrinthitis left me with severe hearing loss in my right ear (75-95 dB from 4000 to 8000 Hz), but normal left ear (0-20 dB).
I'm just speculating here to be honest, but so far it is logical to assume so. Also, somewhere above it was being said that Dr. Shore herself said that plastic changes from one ear can happen to both DCN sides in the brain, meaning that treating one ear can possibly affect both sides. It's all assumptions at this point, but the results were very much promising.
No, it only works for somatic tinnitus right now. She says they'll investigate treating other forms of the disorder after the device is released. They'll also continue to refine the device after release so that it works better, faster and for more people.
I'm guessing release in US in early 2024 at around the same price point of Lenire, ~$2200.
That's nonsense. I've tested Lenire and I'm an absolute anti-Neuromod nerd. The acoustician looked at my audiogram and apparently made some adjustments to the software. Otherwise there are the same senseless sounds like piano, the sound of the sea, other instruments, etc. Complete nonsense, nothing is adjusted to the tinnitus frequency. Determining the tinnitus frequency is a difficult field anyway. So let's not continue the topic here, this is about Dr. Shore.
Understood re Lenire - I wasn't talking about adjusting to the tinnitus frequency, only amplitude - they do boost the signal at those frequencies where there's hearing loss.
I am basing this on nothing but intuition but I feel very confident about this device, almost arrogant levels of confidence. My intuition has been spookily accurate in the past.
Your post above may disappoint a lot of hopefulls, but I think it's the healthy attitude to take.
Mine is also more intrusive on the left, and I've heard a lot of people say the same thing. Does this have any meaning or is it just a coincidence?
In a presentation I saw by Prof. Dirk De Ridder, statistics seems to indicate that a very small majority has tinnitus in the left ear than the right. He didn't say why but he did say that it's not uncommon for the tinnitus to pop up in the other ear as well after a couple of years. Fortunately for me, that has not happened yet.
This can be answered with a quick search on the forum. But basically Lenire is Bluetooth controlled preprogrammed crap with no precise timing tailored for different people and 0 placebo-controlled research.
No, they are trying to do opposite things, both using bimodal stimulation. Lenire is trying to broadly stimulate everything in an attempt to lower the perceived noise in the narrow band that you actually experience tinnitus. Dr. Shore's device uses specific timings to calm and desynchronize the hyperactive fusiform cells, thus diminishing the actual tinnitus itself.
actually summed up the basic differences pretty well.
