I saw you reached out to some of these doctors who are pursuing DBS. Would you send me their email addresses? I might be able to help them with some of their funding challenges.

I have a decibel meter and Westone custom-molded earplugs with 9 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB filters. I use the appropriate filter to make sure I am never exposed to more than 80 dB for longer than a few minutes. When the movie starts, I measure the decibel level and then insert the appropriate...

I’m doing something very similar. I’m using AI to write a program that will pull my Garmin health data into a spreadsheet, so I can track things like sleep quality, heart rate, and stress. It will then run statistical analyses and look for patterns. I’m not sure when it will be finished, but...

The participants in this study were selected because their tinnitus went into remission. It is trying to categorize why. For some people, it does. For those of us here for a long time, it doesn't.

In case it is useful, here is a one-paragraph summary from ChatGPT:

Hi all, I took a fall two weeks ago and hurt my back. The muscles became tense and sore, and it was very difficult to move for the first few days. I’m now mostly recovered, but I still have a lot of stiffness and tension that I’m working through. On the first day, I took 2400 mg of Advil...

@gracepixie, the article did say how soon the intervention was done for hearing loss. Within 30 days.

I’m disappointed to report that the tDCS protocol didn’t help me, so I’m returning the device. Methodology: I tracked my tinnitus distress using the scoring system above for about four months without tDCS, then followed the tDCS protocol from the study for about one month. The only variation...

Are there any theories about why a large minority of subjects in the trial did not experience relief?

It has just come to my attention that there is a place in Los Angeles offering this service as well. Has anyone tried TMS? https://tmslosangeles.com/contact-information/

Thanks for that. I guess I had completely misunderstood it. So Active Noise Cancellation is actually physically canceling the incoming sound wave, and it is not just a perceptual trick as I had believed. That is good to know. So in theory, ANC should be safe for people with ear damage. My...

I believe Active Noise Cancellation is dangerous for people with sensitive hearing. It works by generating an inverse sound wave that mirrors the incoming sound wave, aiming to cancel it out. Both waves are then sent into your ear. While your brain may interpret this as silence, your ears are...

I forgot to mention this earlier, but the Lenire representative actually told me that the increase in my tinnitus after my acoustic trauma two years ago was psychosomatic, simply because I had very mild tinnitus before it. This, despite the fact that I could barely hear it in a quiet room back...

I just tried to establish care with a new audiologist. Two audiologists greeted me and then introduced a representative from Lenire. The three of them spent the next hour delivering a highly scripted, high-pressure sales pitch for Lenire. It felt like a timeshare presentation. I have...

I have a theory on why Auricle is delayed. I recently visited a new audiologist to establish care and discuss hearing aids for masking. Two audiologists greeted me and introduced me to a representative from Lenire. The three of them then spent an hour delivering what felt like a scripted hard...
