Glad to hear you're doing well. And yes, a little age drop from the local pharmacist is always nice!

This thread has gotten a bit confusing, so I just re-read it to try to understand where we are regarding the various ongoing and completed trials. The Matthew Carlson trial that the OP originally referenced was completed, and all 22 participants experienced positive results. It seems, however...

How are you doing, Michael? You've been away for a while, did the spike subside?

Notwithstanding the fact that the sham induced a placebo effect, you can't statistically validate the existing Treatment 1 loudness chart without actually having designed the entire trial as a single-arm trial. Ergo, Susan Shore's statement about how well the active treatment performed in...

After hundreds and hundreds of hours of research my unwavering opinion is that tinnitus is NOT caused by hearing damage; it's underlying cause is a neural gating deficit. Hearing damage (amongst other things) may result in lower upstream voltages consequently exposing the deficient gate...

There's no point in cutting and pasting TFI statistics because I'm only focusing on loudness reduction. Also, we don't need hunches, hope, or mystery. We need hard data. One breakthrough in Susan Shore's work lay in the fact that it would finally (as much as possible by today's standards in...

There's nothing hidden in that loudness chart. On the contrary, it's very clear for those willing to see it; the control didn't wash out either and exerted a negative effect on the treatment. Repeating their own spin won't change that fact.

This is definitely a discussion thread, but to be fair, you can only understand the delay if you acknowledge the problem within your own statement: That statement isn't conclusive because their own published data also indicates that the device isn't nearly as effective if preceded by a control...

Why don't you contact Peter Tass and let him know about Tinnitus Quest and the funding pipeline?

Yes, she was asked about this, and I believe the first time she referred to the "cross-over" effect was during the Tinnitus Hub Q&A. If you remember, at that time (a couple of years ago), she was asked specifically about the group that underwent the active treatment in weeks 13-18, and how...

Look forward to it (y) As it happens, E... I was frying with one of our pans a couple of weeks ago when the handle fell off. Ended up covered in onions, so I'm on the market for a decent new skillet. I picked some leaves this afternoon, having found this recipe, to try out, with steak and the...

Your wish is my command, D lol. Tried to grow some broccoli from seed this year. Hopefully, by Xmas, there'll be a bit more on the crown than this current state of affairs. You're never far away from my thoughts, @tpj, and likewise, it's always nice to hear from you.

I couldn't disagree more with this point. We ought to be way past contextualizing tinnitus science in this way. Providers of tinnitus treatment devices really should position themselves to complete the following most basic question with a binary answer: Does your device reduce the volume of...
