Because cochlear implants are expensive, remove all your hearing; even the healthy part. Then, it is still "artificial hearing" and it is a lottery at the moment for tinnitus. There are even some people who had their auditory nerve sectioned in one ear and still have tinnitus in that same now...

I have little faith in Neuralink but I would like them test it on volunteers with tinnitus to see if it helps. Depressing how things progress so slowly.

Any news about this trial? Completion date was July 2022 according to ClinicalTrials.gov.

What is the status of Neuralink? Are they waiting for FDA approval after the tests they did on chimps? Or do they need to do more trials on chimps before trying on humans?

The story repeats itself.

Well, Phase 1 OTO-313 results were positive but didn't look so fantastic, so I didn't have a lot of hope in this. But, at least, the trial was aiming for tinnitus cure as the goal. And indeed, there are few studies that aim for that. Most the stuff about Kv7, OTO-413 and even regenerative...

How can you have such a difference between their numbers (~90% people that recommend Lenire) and the overall feeling on this forum (very bad reviews from most who have tried it)? I know that people who had bad experiences are more likely to share it but the difference is really too big here...

If they don't exclude people with tinnitus, just apply to it, yeah...

Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure I understand the "late 2023" deadline here. Is this deadline for when they will start to apply FDA for Phase 1/2/3 with their procedure? What kind of surgery is needed here? Does this require two severe surgeries like DBS? Because I guess they have to drill a...

Anyone with epilepsy + tinnitus tried this yet?

Okay, I just listened to it so it is actually 4 years before they start to try it with humans in a clinical trial. Probably you'll need to double this time to get the human trials done and make it accessible to public if it's working. Well, that's a very long time waiting but at least they are...

I haven't heard the podcast yet but I have read the comments. And this "4 years" timeframe is unclear to me. 4 years before their device is available to public or 4 years before they start human trials?

What is PGIC on the graph?

"Bringing a device to market takes an average of 3 to 7 years, compared with an average of 12 years for drugs." Well there is a huge difference between a device used outside the body like Auricle aim for and a device that requires an invasive surgery that need to open the skull and implement...

"making them suited for high-resolution recording and stimulation of the brain for up to thirty days." It only stimulates the brain for thirty days? I don't get it.
