I would agree with the comments above--I bring earplugs when I go to concerts, or sporting events, or band practice, etc., but that's about it.

Hi @Dynabyte, sorry to hear about your troubles. My tinnitus began with an ear infection with circumstances that sound a lot like yours (I first...
Fantastic work! Tinnitus Hub & Tinnitus Talk (and their members) are making a splash just like we should... great work all around everybody.

Hi @Markku--any update on this? Would be curious to see if there are any results to that study.
More about the suits and the details can be found here. (Firewall beyond 10 articles in a month, from the Star Tribune.) Tinnitus Talk members...
Interesting. Like I said, surely all will come out in due time. I just found what the lawsuit in the original post alleges seems to be unrelated...
Where are you seeing this information? Would you mind posting the link to it? It must have been issued today if the new (third!) lawsuit was filed...
Sure, but the lawsuit in the original post has nothing to do with the Starkey execs who were fired. We'll let the facts come out as they do, but...
Well, true, nobody is asking them to, and of course they wouldn't, because like you said, solving hearing loss is not their core strength--their...
Interesting news here from the Twin Cities, MN, as a former employee of one of the leading worldwide providers of hearing aids, Starkey...
That is great to know--thanks for the info! If TRT was fully paid for in the USA I likely would have dug into it myself.

I love that game. So beautiful! The ending is just gorgeous.
