Separate names with a comma.
You're just not getting my very specific point. I am not saying that Dr. Shore or anyone who receives public grant money must disclose xyz. I am...
I hate to break it to you, but I can decide when and where I want to engage in or continue any conversation with anyone (unless, of course, the...
Respectfully, I'm not going to read your post as it's far too long. You either want to argue with me or are not understanding me and I don't have...
If your job depends materially on public funding, then I believe there is a social contract that exists to use those funds wisely. You're getting...
I think we need to be cautious tossing around the idea of "severing the bond" between taxpayer and publicly funded projects. Publicly funded...
That would be wonderful!
ENT is going to say Debrox. My recommendation is go to ENT and let them MANUALLY remove earwax. No syringes, no suction. I did let them use...
@ZFire Also, you see right and left leaning ultra-wealthy businessmen fleeing high tax areas for lower tax states. The same will happen if we tax...
@ZFire The US Tax code is progressive and despite what politicians like to say, there simply isn't enough income to tax on the wealthy to fund...
@kingsfan Whether or not capitalism is about infinite growth or not and if that's possible doesn't matter. It will always be about the efficient...
@ZFire Easy to do in smaller, homogenous populations. Not practical in large diverse countries like the USA. The states individually are supposed...
Capitalism isn't the joke. Humans are the joke.
There's no way to tell. I'd guess under a decade. Would be nice to know if the microchip they were developing is promising.
Just wait for electrical stimulation of the ear to be developed before doing something like that.
Bad experience with Dr. Hubbard?
Agree. Dr. Shore's device is not the end for tinnitus. There are several other promising treatments in development, including electrical...
Try to do a solid week first, baby steps. Then take it out longer.
I am sorry to hear that and can relate to some degree, I'll say a prayer for you.
I think @TuxedoCat tried reaching out to some in the past in her community. The struggle is probably reaching the top brass and getting them to...
Email them, call your representative in Congress.
Just because what you asked for didn't happen, doesn't mean God didn't listen. We have to try not to give up hope and try to trust that it's all...
Wouldn't recommend it.
How are you doing now @Ed209?
These values seem way out of bounds to me. A few quotes from the link involving minimum masking levels... (Source)
Only take benzos if/when absolutely necessary as a triage of sorts (for some people it is sometimes). There is the thought that benzos can...
We've all been there. There's always hope! In terms of the tinnitus going away, it gets less and less likely over time. Once you're 2 years in or...
That is also consistent with what I have read, though I would guess a deeper dive into the data would suggest the correlation gets higher as...
Exactly, not to mention the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest levels in over 40 years in Biden’s attempt to temporarily quell the...
Logical fallacy, ad hominem attack. Please provide data and facts to refute the claim, not attack the source. Logical Fallacies: Ad Hominem
Average Americans are generally poorer under Joe Biden. "The average household has lost about $7,200, which was determined by multiplying the...
I can think of a lot of incendiary names that could be used for the current guy in power. None of these however have been proven for either guy....
I try to stay out of politics due to the general lack of civility these days but my gosh. You preach about wanting to set a different tone with...
I wasn't aware of the visual disturbances, let's hope he can get that finely tuned.
Could also be like a control group of sorts, right?
I believe this is the biggest bang for the buck future treatment out there. It appears likely to be far more effective than Susan Shore's device,...
The lack of placebo control does not mean that the data is worthless. Dr. Djajilian and Mayo have both shown its effectiveness, which makes sense...
It may have been looked at in the 70s but the results appear to be positive AND I am fairly certain that they did not have the semiconductor...
I don't remember exactly, but it got less and less over the first year. I'd just urge you to live as healthy as you can but try not to "figure...
You could consider getting a nightguard. A lot of people grind teeth and don't know it, just don't expect it to make your T go away. No idea about...
I can't say I know much about facial pain related to hyperacusis. I definitely experience hyperacusis/sensitivity and have ear pain and fullness...
Also, while many concerns remain over the effectiveness of tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) for tinnitus, it can be quite helpful for...
AC can definitely be sound enrichment, so can bathroom fans. Just take it slow with other stuff. Keep some foam earplugs with you for tight spots....
Enrich your sound environment with low level sound from a fan, sound machine etc. Over time, you'll find your tolerance gradually increases but...
You should probably never wear earplugs at home unless you're running the vacuum cleaner or doing dishes, etc, at least in my experience. The only...
My understanding is that reactivity can typically get worse the more you protect. Find a low level of noise you can tolerate and roll with that,...
For what it's worth, mine started on day 2 of Lexapro. It's been 5 years. My best advice is to live as healthy a lifestyle as possible,...
100%, someone with a physics degree SHOULD weigh in, but with an actual argument. The argument cannot be, I have a physics degree, therefore this...
Thanks! The post in question was a little more specific to physics and was limited to a small piece of Julian's post. Whether or not someone has a...
Argument from authority. Will you please explain how?
CBT for tinnitus is one of the few proven treatments for tinnitus distress. That said, I don't think we need to allocate anymore research dollars...
I 100% agree with you what's to know for an ENT. There are hundreds of different conditions/symptoms for them to consider, why would they be...
And I stand by everything in my quotes. Yours and mine are not mutually exclusive, but complementary. It is most certainly a judgement call that...

Michael, respectfully, I think this is starting to get a little on the defensive side, I am assuming due to the nature of social media type...
Roger that. All that I wanted to achieve was to share my opinion that I don't think people need to be overly fearful if they go some place in the...
First of all, I appreciate all of your posts here helping others over the years. Based off what I know about your story, I do not think that you...
No it did not. They basically take a small round piece of paper with I think some spongy material and insert into your ear canal a little like...
I got Westones custom molded musicians earplugs. I love them. They come with several different filter options and the best part is they attenuate...
Are you referring to the implantable devices like Dr. Djalilian's and Mayo Clinic? If so, I'd say that's a reasonable timeframe. The preliminaries...
Don't. I'm a big fan of Dr. Shore and the device, but I think electrical stimulation is not far off and will be even more effective. For sure,...
