Treble Health: Exploitation of Tinnitus Sufferers

Awwwww. Doogie has a fan how cute

 

His channel is quite popular attracting 800,000 views per month. I have a YouTube channel (not tinnitus) and make $100 per month on 50,000 views a month. I think his channel produces maybe $2,000-$3,000 per month. That's fair enough - he is a YouTube and costs the viewers nothing.

 

TRT is white noise at home and gradually getting used to your tinnitus, no matter what.

So, snake oil.

 

Yeah, the YouTube space isn't necessarily lucrative in the tinnitus field due to the community only being so big lol. $3,000 a month almost isn't worth it for a business considering the time and effort you have to put into making a video.

 

$3,000 for spending maybe 6 hours a month making videos. I disagree - that is good money. Most of the videos he does is just in front of a camera talking so there is very little production time involved.

 

There's really not much substance behind this "x can benefit from y" and "x can respond very well to y" claptrap (pay us and you can find out!), and saying how adaptive the brain is. So tinnitus can respond well to any sound therapy or new-age diet etc. It can also spontaneously get better on its own, whatever you choose to eat.

Did I mention Ben Thompson is also a specialist on reactive tinnitus?

The matter of self-diagnosing is entirely irrelevant. What research exactly is Ben Thompson referring to which claims that people who experience an increase in tinnitus after listening to hours of music at a reasonable volume are rare? Also, what is the nature of his relationship to Julian Cowan Hill and his love labels?

 

Ah, yes. I saw another snake oil salesman, a local one, Brian Fligor. After spending good time discussing options, i.e. Lenire, hearing aids, and TRT, steering me towards the last (probably most profitable - he could always try to sell me Lenire later), he innocently slipped "I have tinnitus, too". That was like 50 minutes into (second) the appointment. I did not believe him, it was obvious it was a blatant lie to win sympathy from him and make him more trustworthy.

I met a bunch of other people with tinnitus, including another audiologist, Dr. Stephane Maison. It was just obvious he was telling the truth.
