  Great news that Neuromod is releasing. Wish it was easier for us US folks, but I hope and pray for all those that can get this!!

  I am getting a large payout of back vacation pay from work and would like to donate to tinnitus research. Any suggestions on the best place

    Oh, I plan on giving to TT as well. I just don't want to waste my money on some habituation pushers.

    I’d say donate to researchers directly like Rauschecker, Susan Shore or Prof. Tzounopoulos. The BTA and ATA focus a lot on CBT and mindfulness.

    Personally, I have donated to the TRI (Tinnitus Research Initiative) and to Dr. Rauschecker's fundraiser (https://www.givecampus.com/jr9gny).

  I might give physical therapy a try since my tinnitus is so modulated by neck movements. I already reached my deductible for the year.

  Ugh, I have gained about 35 lbs since this new spike. Between the amitryptaline, depression,and lack of exercise it hasn't helped.

    One works on the DCN, one works on the IC. They're differet parts of the brain.

  If Kelpiemsp got better after suffering for decades, there must be something to the device that he had been using.

  I am rather disappointed in the Neuromod testimonials found on Youtube, but I will wait and see. Their marketing and PR just blows!

    Me and the boys have been saying this for a while. I hate those stepped-CBT idiots with a passion but they're so good at marketing themselves.
    
    That's the issue. CBT/TRT is all marketing and no substance, and Neuromod is all substance and no marketing.

    There was some testimonials found that weren't on NMs site where people say the device didn't work but was basically a habituation effect.

  I don't understand this place. People come here to help and give advice. Agree or not I don't understand why people attack them.

    I know what you mean, Holly. I'm coming up to my 3 month anniversary with t (woo!) and I feel like I need to stop spending too much time here. I'm trying to work more on my personal website outside of work and also trying to be more involved at work.

  Same here. I have been waking up with a bad static hiss. I try valium plus gabapentin to knock it down some. Also trying R. David Case's sound mix.

    I mostly only read the status updates these days, I like the people who hang out there. Everything else is a bit depressing.
