Here ya go.

I miss the days when your hands were bright yellow John.

 

[JohnAdams]

Many months ago I suggested @JohnAdams be granted a 'pioneer' badge. Come on @Markku make it happen. John flew to Korea and had his ass injected in his ears. We need to recognise this effort.

Being the Chief Science Officer of MPP comes with responsibilities.

Warning - Dr. Minbo Shim is dishonest

First he quoted me $8,500, but then increased the price to $14,500 after he saw my audiogram.

For some reason he asked me to pay a deposit of $3,000 to book my place. He said there is a long queue and a deposit would make my case a priority.

He stopped communicating after I paid the amount.

He wanted the deposit paid with Western Union so now I can't get my money back.

AVOID MINBO SHIM!!!!!!!!!!

How long ago was that?

Bullshit.

As of right now this is your first and only post on this entire website.

Where have you been in the discussion?

Why haven't you asked me ANY questions?

Why would you even decide to go before I posed my audiograms?

He didn't make me use Western Union.

You need to offer some proof of your allegations.

Also, if your tinnitus is from "harsh ear syringing" then you have damage to your eardrum, not your cochlea, and his treatment is focused on the cochlea.

Prove it. You seem to have only one post based on your profile card, and we can't even see your full profile. If your only post is malicious, and we can't even see your full profile, it's impossible to believe you. Making claims like that without anything to back you up makes me believe this is baseless slander, which disgusts me.

By the way. $4,500 + $4,500 does not equal $8,500. Neither could $9,000 * 2 equal $14,500. He wouldn't give you a $500 discount. You are obviously lying and your math is hilariously wrong.

Thank you for whistle blowing, if there is anything else you know about him that suggest he is dishonest let us know.

@Bam first his treatment has to work.

 

[just1morething]

Sometimes it's better to use a credit card and then they can dispute your charges. I had that experince in trying to buy some meds online. They wanted to be paid by Western Union, but then what kind of recourse do you have if they are dishonest?

I do wonder why you wouldn't wait for @JohnAdams results (audiograms, tinnitus improvements, possible complications, etc.) before pursuing Dr. Shim.

Could you post the receipt from Western Union. You can delete your name but it will show the recipient of your funds. That's a heavy warning and accusation. Surely you have saved the paper work from that transaction. John Adams experience is completely contrary to your assertion, regardless of the efficacy of the treatment. We all are pulling for John Adams, if this is a prank, it's not funny, cool, or remotely acceptable. People's lives are at stake here.

Based on what he reported, so far so good.

The people at Neuromod have crossed a line!

I didn't expect to be questioned and made sound like I'm a liar... Why would I lie about this? I work your normal 9-5 job and saved very hard for this treatment. Now I'm $3,000 poorer and feeling worse than I did before. I signed up on this site before John Adams went to his treatment. I had read about Dana White's PRP success. I had read the earlier "South Korean Clinic Treatment" discussion here and because I was becoming more desperate, wanted to try if this could ease my tinnitus and improve my hearing loss which is significant over some frequencies, e.g. I have a hard time hearing people talk in crowds. I don't know why he quoted me a different price. When he was talking to me on Skype (I had a phone call with him too) he seemed sincere but after he got my deposit he stopped all communication. What to make of that? Filing a police report won't help because he's in another country. I'm still recovering from this disappointment, what to do when you can't event trust doctors.

Why haven't you posted about this before? I'm sorry I got mad, but I had contact with John while he went through the whole process. I watched him go from extremely skeptical to convinced enough to go himself. He is absolutely not a liar. He has reported his results as accurate as he possibly could with results that have been already fantastic with less than three more months to go.

If you are telling the truth, then there was probably some mix up, and you should try contacting him again. It's your money, don't give up so easily in retreiving it.

lmao you can't make posts like this, not post proof and then act like a victim because people ask for the most basic of things when it comes to making charges.

I don't know if it works or not. I'll wait for results which JohnAdams is actually planning on posting. Until you post some proof you're either a liar or an idiot.

 

[Agrajag364]

worth mentioning (maybe) that my scarred eardrum has been suggested to perhaps be a contributing factor to my tinnitus, since scar tissue doesn't vibrate as well as healthy eardrum membrane

Oh is that why ear infections can cause tinnitus?

 

[Drone Draper]

Serious allegations require some proof. I can believe he increased the price after he saw your audiogram, but Western Union is the money transfer method of internet scammers everywhere.

I would not transfer any funds using that to anybody for anything, and John has said he didn't use WU for his treatment.

So either you're lying or Shim can be shady at times.

Lol, I'm totally sure you have ample proof of this. Screenshots, dates, WU receipts, etc.

The rest of your post seems a bit vitriolic, but this is just factually wrong dawg. Syringing is loud AF and causes tinnitus through hearing damage. Plenty of threads about it on this site, and if you lack that basic understanding you probably shouldn't be talking down to people (even if they are, admittedly, making a pretty extreme and so far unsubstantiated claim).

Syringing shouldn't be capable of damaging the eardrum; drum is pretty tough unless it ruptures, which doesn't happen in syringing.

 

[Artemis2K]

Also, if you search "Western Union" in the forum, the original thread does not come up, and that thread has been discussed for two years. Why would you be the first to bring that up here? :/

Yeah I wouldn't know anything about getting a syringe in my ears. Thanks for educating me.

70-80 times... that must have been Hell.

Ear syringe is cleaning your ears with water.

 

[JohnAdams]

It was fun.

Also, several of us, including me, are in contact with him on Skype. Why didn't this person ask me to inquire about those alleged payments? The very first post from this person was a total attack, with no details or proof.

@Assumpta
Let's see some screenshots of your communications, e-mails, Skype chats, etc.

Ear syringe is cleaning your ears with water.

Thanks for the info. I certainly got plenty of that too. Not even just with water, but with hydrogen peroxide.

 

[brownbear]

Not even just with water, but with hydrogen peroxide.

My understanding is that hydrogen peroxide is ototoxic.

 

[Artemis2K]

My understanding is that hydrogen peroxide is ototoxic.

So far he didn't report any hearing loss or any negative effects, just positives. I guess it's deluded? Don't know.

Didn't you say you were an ENT?

 

[JohnAdams]

My understanding is that hydrogen peroxide is ototoxic.

Yeah it stayed in my outer ear. Just to clean out residual blood.

 

[brownbear]

So it was done after a recent intratympanic injection? I have to say that doesn't sound sensible.

 

[JohnAdams]

No, it was done the next day, before the next injection.
