      The entire premise of this sound therapy is flawed. They use semantics to confuse us. They are saying the noise fades into the background. The background of what? Your conciousness? Is that even true?

      I think @Ed209 point about that, is that those tests could be forged or falsified. We don't know if those are real or not. When large amount of money are involved for treatment, we have to question the authenticity.

      Does he have a third party doing these tests after the procedure? If not, it is a conflict of interest that he is producing his own data without verification or another party.

      Just my two cents, I'm not trying to start a further argument, but I just wanted to point out the issue with the logic here.

      Cause of Tinnitus:
      Noise induced hidden hearing loss and acoustic trauma
      I will don't think i didn't see all the love and respect MPP showed me in the past i did and i really appreciate it you guys humour,insight,knowledge and hope and advocacy for biological hearing loss cure keeps me going.I think MPP and research section are the best parts of this forum.

      I especially have to credit and shoutout @JohnAdams for being such a pioneer and trying different experimental methods of treatment he is inspiring and if any method he tried works he may save a lot of us from unnecessary suffering.Also @Contrast is really incredible intelligent and knows his shit i love how he educates people on hidden hearing loss,cochlear synaptopathy and how outdated tonal audiometry is he also exposed and destroyed scammers praying on innocent tinnitus sufferers and for that he has my full respect.

      Unfortunately i have to admit that i didn't post that much in here,because i'm currently in a very bad state mentally i don't want to turn this fun uplifting treath depressing,but severe cochlear synaptopathy really cucked me right now my hearing is so bad the only time i can even function is in quiet 1 on 1 conversation if there is any background noise i struggle extremely.I lost all enjoyment,joy and love for life.Life seems like meaningless and empty struggle ever since i messed up my hearing.I can't enjoy music because it sounds muffled,i can't watch movies because my hearing is distorted and i miss half of the dialogue,i can't play games for the same reason because i was always into story focused dialogue heavy games and i can't hear dialogue now.So what's even the point to keep going if you can't get any enjoyment out of things you used to love?I lost my job,i lost my good looks since i have to be on really heavy anti psychotics and anti depressants and gained a ton of weight i went from completely mentally healthy to having schizotypal personality disorder all in the span of two years since i got this condition.

      My family thinks i'm a failure that didn't achieve anything in his life and doesn't respect me anymore even though they don't even try to understand how bad my hearing is and how seriously i'm suffering because i pass the fucking standart outdated hearing test.And worst of all there is no cure or help ENT'S are useless if you have hidden hearing loss no matter how severe it is they treat standart tonal audiogram as the holy grain and don't care about any auditory synapse damage that it doesn't show.

      I just have to say I WANT TO DIE I WANT TO DIE I WANT TO DIE,but i don't even have the balls to do that yet i held the knife next to my wrist the other day,but i couldn't bring myself to do it because,deep in my heart i care too much how much my family would suffer especially my mother i love them even though they act so cold towards me.
      I just hope Regain(Audion) can get the treatment for hearing loss out in the next 5 years that is my only hope because they are EU funded and if they succeed their treatment will probably spreads to clinics across Europe and be goverment funded.I really cheer for Frequency therapeutics and Otonomy OTO-413 too,but unfortunately even if those succeed my broke ass probably wouldn't be able to afford it.So that's the sad truth about my life and why i am inactive,but to end it on a positive note i love you guys i love this forum and i hope all our struggling and suffering and pain will end and we will be able to enjoy second chance at life thanks to bio medicine,because we really deserve it.

      Oh my god he actually commented this is so awesome!

      But yeah please don't go. There's a great chance that there's a treatment from Oto in the 2020's. Admittedly I haven't kept up with them but all the people who watch them like a hawk here have good things to day about it. I'd trust the internet experts.

      Seriously though, what's up with Dr. Shim? Cant find anything about him on the internet even in Korean other than his own site and a little message board. Nothing good or bad. nothing to indicate hes a fraud, but very little to prove he isnt other than circumstantial evidence like that hes still in practice. The ambiguity of everything just makes tinnitus 100x worse.

      You know it just hit me. 10 years from now some youtube/whatever video medium is popular Video creator is probably going to make a video about the online tinnitus community, and go into the history of MPP.
