Why would EU approval be years away? The FDA is stricter than the EU usually.

Anyone who thinks that a device created by an esteemed Michigan Professor who has been in the field for 30 years is a scam needs to get off these...

It's clear to me that the device will help the majority of patients with somatic tinnitus which again is the majority of tinnitus patients...

65% had a clinically significant reduction and the rest had a reduction as well.

I don't think it needs to be the exact tinnitus frequencies, just approximating.

Only a 24-year-old can hear 17000 Hz so I think it's natural. There is a reason ENTs don't do extended audiograms. Unless you are a kid, every...

Extended audiograms aren't going to be very useful since everyone has damage to the higher frequencies due to age. A person in his 30s who doesn't...

You didn't understand what I wrote. I never said she doesn't care about tinnitus patients. Of course she does. But the lack of urgency is mainly...

The delay pattern is quite simple. Dr. Shore isn't bothered by her tinnitus. It's hard to feel urgency when the condition you have doesn't affect...

I will repeat it once more for the people downplaying the reduction from the device. If you are lucky and you are among the 70% that this...

It depends on the level of hearing loss you have. The device calms down cells, it doesn't repair hearing loss. I guess a bar is safe but a club or...

There is no guarantee that it needs to be used constantly. People in the trials kept improving weeks after they stopped using it and changes...

I was never worried about the FDA approval. To me, the real question is the rollout and funding. The FDA won't take more than 6 months to approve...

They didn't rush anything regarding vaccines. The technology had already been available for years. And there aren't any actual studies that link...

I'm not worried about the second group so much as for the 65% success rate. In my mind if the criteria was somatosensory modulation, the success...

I seriously doubt a placebo can reduce the loudness of tinnitus by 2x. That's a very noticeable difference and the improvement lasted for several...

The word disabling was wrong. I meant more like bothering tinnitus. The kind you still want to get rid of but it's not debilitating. I meant no...

No one is doubting Dr. Shore's integrity. What many people have noted is that she has continuously taken her sweet time on many occasions, such as...

Lenire doesn't work. Period. If Dr. Shore's device is slightly better than Lenire, then it means it won't help the majority of people...

Is there a guarantee that the only reduction will be that of 12 dB? The trial participants only used the device for a month and then stopped....

If the device becomes available in the US, then it's a matter of time till it's available abroad. It's a non-invasive treatment.

Sorry, I assumed the DCN is in the cochlear area, I'm not well versed with ear as I tend not to look at too many details for my peace of mind lol....

Does that mean that loudness hyperacusis happens exclusively at the cochlea? Because if that's the case, the device will almost certainly help.

Sorry to digress, I just wanted to ask a quick question regarding this. So loudness hyperacusis is caused by noise damage? Also, a question...

Actually, most people with tinnitus don't have hyperacusis. Close to 40% of tinnitus patients have hyperacusis, so just not the majority. Most...

The thing is that a low hum can't be masked as easily as my other sound, that's why it scares me. I don't know what to do.

I have that as well. The best way to describe it is low level fridge noise in my left ear. My ENT says that it's because my brain has been in high...

Hi everyone. A little background for me. I have had tinnitus for over a year and in last January it changed. That caused me immense anxiety and i...

OK, thanks Michael.

Hi, I wanted to ask whether running water and streams are considered white noise?

Thanks for the response Michael. I was asking about the type of sound that running water is. I think it's categorised as white noise but someone...

Hi, I have a last couple of questions regarding sun enrichment for anyone who can answer them. I'm using this video at low frequency (15%) during...

I want to hop in and ask if movies in the 45-55 dB range are OK for a couple of hours? Thanks for anyone willing to answer this.

How do you suspect you have a dip at 5 kHz? Is there any way to gauge that? Regarding FX-322, when we will have a clearer picture? Summer?

Huh interesting. My ENT can't do an extended audiogram but he doesn't believe it's necessary since the trajectory from 6 kHz to 8 kHz is going up...

In my case my ENT thinks my 5 dB hearing loss is the cause of my tinnitus but I don't know how likely that is.

Can you elaborate on that please? My latest audiogram shows a 5 dB drop on the 4 kHz range in my left ear. Is this normal? Do all humans have a...

I understand that Michael, however the slight sharpening of the tinnitus is enough to throw me off. Based on your experience even with daily...

So, if I got it right, someone still bothered by their tinnitus won't have the threshold lowered by sound enrichment? It still bothers me to be...

Thanks for the clarification Michael. I was wondering what were the 6-8 weeks you were saying. Is this the amount of time one can see an...

What I'm trying to say is that if sound enrichment does work, can it permanently reduce the volume of my tinnitus? And if that happens and then I...

I have seen a lot of people say their tinnitus stabilized after a year or two? That doesn't apply?

Cool. That sounds promising. What happens if it does work and then I stop it? Does it reverse to its previous state? Will I need to use sound...

Sorry to come back to this but can sound enrichment be done with a phone? I don't have the financial capacity to buy an Oasis device, I have...

Hello everyone. I just got my latest audiogram and it showed a -5 dB drop in the 4 kHz in the left ear. The thing that troubles me is that I did...

Thanks Michael. I do leave some quiet time during sleeping. I use nature sounds for 4 hours per night. I assume they also can't cause hyperacusis...

Can sound enrichment with nature sounds aka crickets and waterfalls cause hyperacusis? I'm worrying since I'm playing masking sounds a lot during...

So playing nature sounds at a very low volume at night can actually make tinnitus louder in the long run? Is masking dangerous?

Do you think this could worsen your tinnitus if you listen to it at low volume, from a distance, not using headphones? I have been listening to...

How can someone find out if they have hidden hearing loss?

Sorry if this is a silly question but I wanted to get it out of the way. My electric toothbrush generates sounds at the 60-65 dB range while...

So there has been no change in tinnitus whatsoever? Not even a tiny 5 dB change?

Guess I will have to have the extended audiogram then. Thanks for the answers everyone. I don't feel so down anymore. We will see what the...

So there is no chance that FX-322 will help people with hearing loss below the 8 kHz range? I really don't want to think that I'm going to spend...

Hello folks. During our everyday lives we are exposed to noises that measure up to 50 dB or even 60 dB like hair dryers, electric toothbrushes or...

The reason I'm asking Michael is practical. If something I did changed my tinnitus I want to find what it was so I can stop doing it. If it's...

Good to know. I don't think anxiety is the reason my tinnitus changed. I'm between two options, either it's wax because of the incident 4 days ago...

OK thanks. I have had manual scrapping before since I got tinnitus and it didn't make it any worse. I thought it was generally considered the...

I apply Otosan ear spray every day. Does that qualify?
