      This seems to be a new product out there, Company was founded this October and Tinnitus 911 marketing started in late November.

      They’re using some of the same claims that Silencis Pro and Tinnitus Miracle did; tinnitus is a warning signal your brain sounds to warn you that you are very ill and are in life-threatening danger. Of course, that’s not true.

      They also borrowed a tactic from Tinnitus Terminator by having multiple sites to advertise themselves.

      Of course, the guy who supposedly “discovered” the formula is ajust a regular guy whose life was ruined by tinnitus and he went in search of a cure, with a twist of intrigue that includes secret meetings and a government cover-up.

      Bogus product. Unsubstantiated claims.

      Nothing new here.

      It's so stupid. The fact is there's absolutely nothing for tinnitus, so desperate people are pretty suceptible for falling for scams like this, TRT, and Ring Relief. Scam artists prey on weak people.

      I tried to find out who is actually behind Tinnitus 911 and I followed a trail of business registrations from New York to Texas to Florida and when I traced it as far away as Wyoming, I had to stop because it was driving me crazy.

      For all the talk about “Big Pharma”, people often overlook Big Supplement which is just as greedy, operates in secrecy and is just as exploitative.

      And at least in the US, there really is not any verification or testing of supplement claims regarding what they can do or even what is in them. That is rather scary when you think about it. They could claim a product contains a certain vitamin combination, and instead it’s something entirely different.

      That picture is hilarious, too.

      I've had tinnitus for 49 years. As my age increases so does the volume of the ringing. I've tried a lot of treatments and nothing has worked.

      Tinnitus 911 — Has anyone tried this new product yet? Does it work or is it just another vitamin supplement?

      I think your money is better off being donated to an association that wants to cure or give better treatment with people that have tinnitus. Stuff like that is mostly baloney.

      I doubt that this stuff would be allowed to be marketed with those claims in most European countries, and the U.S. should follow suit and regulate the supplements that are being sold.

      First sign of scam is bold claims (bold fonts in key places), images from image libraries (not real sufferers, actors). Slick pitch throughout. "Clinical trials" with no references. Confusing hyperacusis with tinnitus (don't know what they are talking about). Conspiracy, whistle-blower from the government named Mr Healy - Really...!? Exclusive secret precise combos of herbs that took "years" to discover (don't bother to replicate it yourself). Limited supplies (sure!). Offer is half original price (ha ha ha) about to expire, you'd better fork out your earnings now or you will miss out. Money-back guarantees (yes I bet!)

      Has all the trappings of Binary Options scams.

      A friend with good intentions bought me a bottle of this but I haven't taken any and don't plan to. Based on the ingredient list it's basically a diuretic.

      These people should be physically confronted for running scams like this. This targets the mentally ill from tinnitus/hyperacusis/subsets with knowingly false claims. All for $. Disgusting pieces of shit.

      A friend just sent me a link to this product, saying he had no idea whether or not it was legit. I clicked on it, and immediately realized it was a scam. So I clicked to leave, and it prompts me by asking if I really want to leave. When I get that message, it's always a confirmation that my believing it was a scam was accurate.

      Part of the problem with this stuff is they don’t need to even rely on tinnitus sufferers to buy it. I have four unopened bottles of this exact product in my home right now. My elderly mother who knows I’m miserable spend $200 on this crap and mailed it to me.

      These ads may not work on us, but they do work.

      Conclusion tinnitus911 is a scam impersonating that they are helping orphans in Africa.

      Phytage Labs AKA Tinnitus911 is going down.

      Nice detective work. The stealing of the missionaries photos is oddly hilarious. I got sucked into watching the pitch video for Tinnitus 911 and knew off the bat it was probably a scam. The whole deep covert government whistle blower story is what really confirmed it for me.

      I went to the bottom to see the cost and if there was the traditional buy 3, save $$$ and they put you on auto ship. There it was. Made my tinnitus worse. Any advert spending that much time with large letters and repetitive sentences is in the scam category.

      Seems that this is marketed now under name ”Sonus Complete”. Incredients look even the same.
      Look for this, if you can listen sad jargon how this stuff was invented (its MENSA’s secret formula :) )

      https://sonuscomplete.com/

      Oddly when searching information (reviews) about this product, every one ”review” seems to be paid information.

      Do you think they know they are scamming or they believe what they want to believe because it makes them money? Maybe I'm too innocent, but I can't picture plotting diabolic plans over people's health.
