New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

[Malamute]

Is this Dr. Shore's device?

These are certainly the devices for the Shore study. The company is also in Michigan.

Ok, thanks. I thought Auricle Inc was the company planning to sell the devices.

Haha the Phase III devices look much more official than the Phase 2 ones did.

 

[linearb]

What device? Has anyone seen the device? Is anyone participating in the clinical trial?

So far it looks like the device is in the wishes and dreams of tinnitus sufferers. If you want the device to exist, you must become a believer. Let's pray together...

Nah it exists and works; I used it, look for my posts here from ~spring 2016 when I was in the trial.

Are you shore? j/k

They have contact info on their page. Shoot them an email.

I can't modulate my tinnitus at all in any way so it appears these devices won't help me.

I don't know if that is an absolute truth. I know that it was a disqualification for the clinical study, but I thought she gave an ambiguous 'We don't know" sort of answer when talking about whether this could be used on non-somatic tinnitus.

 

[Malamute]

@Lilah, I think in2being develops and manufactures the hardware as a licensee and Auricle Inc. is the client and does the sales and marketing.

There is also a link to the older Shore study on the in2being website...

Oh, I thought you were in the Minnesota University study conducted under Dr. Hubert Lim, who also worked on Lenire "success"...

It's great to know that Dr. Shore's device did work for you.

I just read the Phase 1 study. It's looking like a 7-8 point reduction from an average TFI of 27. Not particularly amazing but length of treatment is gone from 4 weeks to 6 weeks in Phase 2.

Hello everyone, long time lurker here. Just a quick question about the device if anyone from either of the trial can answer or if anyone knows. Is the device specifically individually calibrated to person, or is it that every device is the same?

Apparently the location of the electrical stimulus will depend on your particular type of somatic tinnitus. How you can modulate your tinnitus will dictate this.

If your tinnitus gets much worse when you yawn does this count as modulating your tinnitus or is that something else? I can't figure out if I can modulate or not because I try to ignore as much as possible!

It is exactly the same for me, I can only make my tinnitus worse by yawning or opening my mouth wide.

My understanding is that that counts.

Is it the yawning or opening your jaw wide while yawning?

 

[Suaimhneach]

Is it the yawning or opening your jaw wide while yawning?

I think it might be the yawning, there isn't the same extent increase when I just open my mouth wide without yawning.

Finally!

Pretty exciting.

 

[F-u-T]

Good find. Thanks for sharing!

 

[AfroSnowman]

So that is what hope looks like. I would have thought it would have 2 earbuds.

 

[Oceanick]

I wonder why the device has only one earbud. Will we have to take turns doing one ear at a time?

 

[cjbhab]

This latest update and the comments by @linearb give me hope.

If this device gives relief, take my money.

 

[Kam75]

Finally it comes!!!

I hope it will be launched soon and helps us.

 

[AfroSnowman]

I have been known to lean optimistic, but from Dr. Shore's comments and seeing these prototypes and contracts already in place, I do have hope that this can move very quickly to market once it gets approval.

 

[KotaDomowa]

To tell the truth, I no longer believed that this device would ever come out on the market.

I am happy

 

[PortugalTheMan]

20 years of research, will it yield results? Hopefully Dr. Shore's device will not be another Lenire, like Dr. Dirk de Ridder says.

 

[Suaimhneach]

"Almost market ready" - f*cking lovely news!

 

[Padraigh Griffin]

Looking promising. Phase 2 must have given promising initial feedback from the trial participants. Confidence is high.

If you listen to some of Dr. Shore's comments, I think it was in the ATA Podcast, back in the times before everything was pushed back by a year, she said that she hoped to push it rapidly to market when the study was completed.

I wonder in a university study like this, when can they be unblinded?

 

[Fields]

Interesting. Sorry if this has already been asked, but how would the treatment work?

Is this equipment meant for private use, or would you have to come in for treatment at licensed practices?
