MuteButton

@Barry Bacon thanks very much for posting this encouraging info. Welcome to TT and the best of luck with your treatment. I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be watching this thread closely for your future updates.

So there is a selection criteria even for this device?
Wonder how's this gonna work for us on other continents.

 

What lots of people overlook is that these "academics" often double as clinicians and have detailed inside information into the industry they work in. An ENT is well aware of future drug/device trials for specific disorders and can organize his investment portfolio based on this information, not dissimilar to a solicitor who has access information/plans to build a commercial outlet in advance of the general public and decides to purchase land nearby, this story is as old as time. Companies like Siemens have invested large amounts of money into cochlear devices/hearing aids/r&d and work alongside otolaryngologists all over the world, I just don't see how that helps us long-term, if like I do you wish to see cellular repair attempted within the labyrinth. There are people who are serious about this and there are those that are not. Just to point out to those that might not be aware, the Hermitage medical centre is not a public hospital, the clinicians who work there are earning far more money than you may realise, indeed it would dwarf that of their peers in Harley Street, indeed one of them is directly involved with the trial of this device, directly "financially" involved that is.

 

They just got 2 Million Euros of new investment.

I hope that thing works. Otherwise what a waste of money that could have been used on other treatments that are showing positive results.

 

Now you probably can't really judge this way, but those two dudes in the picture sure don't look like people I'd feel confident buying a used car from. Maybe a tinnitus treatment is different...

 

I have looked through the Forums and I can not find ANYONE who has tried this and can report if it worked for them or not WHY ??????

 

Because mutebutton is relatively new and you can only get it in Ireland.

 

As promised on my previous posting I would keep providing updates on the use of MuteButton. Well 3 weeks in and I would have to say that I am still getting bad days. However the number of good days seems to be improving. As per my previous post the quality of my sleep has been greatly improved by its use and that has continued.

The biggest question is whether the reduction in volume is apparent. I think this is to early to say but signs are promising. I will post again in a couple of weeks or if there is a significant change.

 

Sounds good Barry after only three weeks. Really hope it continues to impact positively on you over the coming weeks and months.

 

I have heard from another clinic that it seems to be 50 50 for sufferers (although i could not obtain details on whether louder or softer t was most affected) They are offering rebates of 66 percent on those not satisfied. Its a fair offer.

Advancing the next generation of tinnitus treatment.
Building on positive clinical outcomes and patient experiences, in September 2015 we secured significant investment from the international life sciences venture capital fund Fountain Healthcare Partners. This investment will be used to further enhance the scientific and clinical understanding of bi-modal neuromodulation for treating chronic tinnitus, commence US clinical trials and to promote the adoption of mutebutton as a next generation treatment for chronic tinnitus. The ultimate goal is the international launch of the product in 2018.

They start talking about another generation, while the current has not proven its effectiveness.

 

How are you doing Barry? Any further news on mute button?

 

Mute Button failed. All failed.

 

Have you tried it Carlos?

 

Obviously not. But check the company statement Mute Button on their website. Currently there is no longer sold. He has been suspended. This clear. It has failed. 5 people I know who have used it. A none has served. Mute Button, a device that was investigated for 10 years with the best professionals has not been effective. It is demoralizing. We must be objective.

Now they say it again in 2018 to sell more sophisticated. ..... Sure sure if ...

This only proves what we already many of us have been pointing out. Tinnitus is a very difficult condition to address clinically involves many networks and connections. It is almost impossible to attack effectively.

I use google translate. Sorry if I make mistakes.

 

God i'm suprised that they took it off market. Imagine putting out €2500 for that and it didn't work :O

 

More millions down the drain....

 

Any more updates from users?

 

The mute button treatment has ceased for now. It obviously didn't work. Another failure to join the Autifony drug failure. One day, one day, some one will do it. Keep hoping.

 

I dont think you can just wash away the brain training, they can repair the ear the brain will still need to rewire to the peripheral organ. I think its both that will form a cure, cellular repair and pathway restoration/rewiring in the auditory cortex.

 

If this mute button doesnt work at all, Why will they say based on promising clinical outcome and paitent experiences in sep 2015?

And managing to sercure a huge sum of investment. Whether it truly work or not i guess it will still be good that money is being invested in and that companies have not given up on finding a treatment for tinnitus. So 2018 we shall see. Lol!

They may have taken down the product to improve it before selling them again?

 

From Mutebutton:

Dear Brian,
Many thanks for contacting us, we appreciate your support. At the moment we are not taking on any new patients for mutebutton. If you wished to register your interest in participating in future clinical trials you may do so via our website http://www.mutebutton.ie/

We are pausing sales of mutebutton until further notice. The reason being that we are dedicating most of our resources into preparing the mutebutton technology for a global launch. Results from our study are soon to be published in a peer reviewed journal.

Kind Regards
Mutebutton Customer Service Team

 

@briano that good news isnt it. oh well, at least they are doing something. whether it works for different individuals is basically base on their own cause for their onset of tinnitus i guess.

 

Just want to share this with everybody. I don't know how promising it will be but at least there's a chance it can help some people.
