Me too. I'll let you know by the end of November.

Could you give me examples of NIH funded research that has lead to market leading medical devices? Dude.

I wish it were that easy and the case. The US brings the majority of innovation to the medical marketplace because they are not gov't run...

I'm assuming you also think the earth is flat.....

Hang in there friend. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next year, but there are people and resources working on this hard. All it takes is that one...

You might want to tell that to these guys, and several other labs/companies that are already doing so in animal models and don't forget to call...

You bet. Glad I could add a little something to the discussion. Now, how do we get this to move along? I've got some contacts in the medical...

That's unfortunate for certain. I' can't imagine though that companies looking at this don't see the $$$ at the end of their efforts. Maybe their...

From the late 1980's to the current day, I watched advances in medical devices in the cardiac space that even the best biomedical engineer could...

In the 1970's, it took a warehouse full of equipment to run a computer at 1/100th the speed of even a cheap smart phone in your pocket right now....

Thanks for the link. That's good to know that you can just download some tracks versus subscribing to a service. I saw that he has tracks with...

Did you ever sign up for their service? I contacted them about the process to take your music files and notch them. Seemed clear as mud to me, but...

I think regardless of the music therapy system, most say to deliver therapy for at least 6-8 months to determine the full effect. I think it is...

Not sure. It seems like all the manufacturers of music therapy, be it Neuromonics, Notched Music, CR Neuromodulation, etc. do their evaluations...

@Lane, thanks for much for your thoughts. Yes, I guess that does make sense. I'm still debating whether or not to move forward with trying LLLT....

I have tinnitus due to acoustic trauma in my right ear. That being the case, is there any reason I should try LLLT on my left ear too? My...

When I was working in the implantable device world, we always got our latest/greatest tech approved in the European markets (CE Mark and Approval)...

If I have one more clinician tell me, "Well, only 10% of people who have tinnitus say it's bothersome", I'll strangle them. You try it!

@TuxedoCat Agree whole heartedly with your logic and the value system matching. I also think it is important to distinguish the need of each...

@Michael Leigh Thanks for the follow up information. So then, how are people who have NIT/NIHL supposed to get therapies like Notched Therapy,...

BAM! @TuxedoCat Absolutely just nailed it. I'll tell you the difference; the arthritic knee has a visible component to it. Patients start to...

These are a lot of great questions. I'm new to the party, but yes, I have been thinking about where I'd like to put my money, and what would...

This post is confusing to me. How can WNG's, which are worn like hearing aids, right?, be beneficial when they are the closest of all devices to...

I have used headphones and earbuds, with reasonable volume limits always, all my life. Now that I have T, I still use them, and it is suggested to...

Beer!? Where? (y)

Hello, Yes, this sometimes happens to me when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom (middle-aged man syndrome :)). It's...

For those using the Konftec devices, how are you determining what wavelength of earbuds to use? I see there is some graphic using the tone of...

+1, Exactly...

Save me a seat. I'm with you on that one. Bucket list to taste some great whiskey there too.

On what point do you disagree? Being a tinnitus sufferer now, AND being in the medical device world for a long time, I don't care for long waits...

Right, but it'll get CE mark and approval way before FDA approval if history is any predictor of the future. We always use to get our devices...

One of a researcher's greatest nightmares is being discredited during the peer review process. If your data doesn't survive this scrutiny, then...

Behavioral based initiated disease processes (smoking, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet [you could throw excessive drinking into this category])...

It's not supported because CMS and the FDA give little to no priority to hearing health care and its fledgling industry. If you get CMS to open...

That's a great question and a very reasonable concern for every taxpayer in the US. I was in the cardiac implantable device industry for decades....

You are correct about that. I tapered down to 40mg a day for several days before finally getting to 20mg to finish the course, and at 40 I felt...

This is quite true, but it is the pursuit of cold, hard cash, as you say, that brings forth the best technology for the targeted patient...

Having been involved in clinical trials in other areas of medicine, one has to understand how critical study design is to the achieving the...

Well, I think that is good news in a way. Perhaps you can find some other form of anti-inflammatory supplement or diet that can help you. I hope...

I'm not sure I follow your logic. If you suffered an acoustic trauma, that means the outer hair cells (more than likely) were damaged by said...

I've been looking into trying some notched sound therapy (white noise and/or music) and have come upon a couple of website/apps that look...

Okay, thanks for getting back to me. Good luck.

@BobbyH Any update on how the Signia Notch therapy is working for you? Has it been fine tuned? Are you getting relief? Thanks,

How much does this app cost? If you go to the App Store there is no pricing information. Glad you are getting relief with it.

I know this is an old post, but Grant Searchfield did some research on this out of the University of Auckland, and the short answer to your...

Good logic, and I thought the same thing. Evidently, there are experts here who raise the red flag on ear buds and headphones regarding making...

@stophiss, Any updates? Did you get the Signia with notch therapy HA's? I'm set up with an audiologist on November 5th to talk about HA's,...

For those interested, here are the results of the Reset2 Study looking at the effectiveness of ACRN from the creators of the therapy themselves;...

Jon, Do you have any additional updates on the Levo? Sounds like they really were not ready for prime time, and have some serious obstacles to...

Christophe, Yes, I have tried valerian tea and I think it did help. My current approach is to frankly try to let my body adjust to this new...

Thanks for your comments. You are absolutely correct. There is hard data out there that concludes acceptance and commitment therapy significantly...

Thanks for the encouraging words, which, surprisingly on this forum, seem to be few and far between. Ironic, I searched "tinnitus support" and...

Can someone please tell me how to start a conversation or private message another member? I've been on similar forums like this, but I can't seem...

Thanks very much for the comments John. I appreciate you taking the time. Yes, I agree the sleep meds are a short term solution, but I feel if I...

A member by the name of Tamika has started a 'conversation' with me. If you read this, I cannot figure out how to reply. No matter where I look...

Thanks Sean. I'll give that a try. I've got a pretty decent natural foods/supplements/herbs store near me.

Thanks Rogerde2018. Any tricks to help you get back to normal sleep patterns? Medication help? Noise machines? I've got both on the way, but feel...
