      I'm sure it's been discussed but with multi tonal tinnitus, do you think they will just target one sound at first? Is yours multi tonal?

      My tinnitus started as a faint hiss long ago. The hiss became louder. Then a loud blast by accident caused intrusive tinnitus. In my left ear is a very high pitched sound, (side most exposed to the blast) it is not a fuzzy hiss (shhhh/eeeee) but a distinct sharp whistle.

      The first years after the trauma there were weird effects to the sounds like reverb and rattling. Overtime it seems the sounds homogenize into a uniform sound without effects. Mostly the loud hiss and the distinct high pitch whistle above it. (a little midget pied piper sitting on my ear blowing his little whistling horn... forever) He has a name... (it's to vulgar to mention)

      The hissing can be related to sounds in nature like water or the ocean (haha). This whistle is satanic.

      If I found a remedy for shitnitus I would share it with everyone for free.

      re."Apparently it can potentially make the T much, much worse."

      The liability issues are staggering.

      Effects are temporary at the moment. I signed up knowing it could happen. And yes one of the timings did, but they know.

      Yes, and you are telling the truth.

      But tinnitus is subjective, an hallucination only heard and detected by the patient.

      What will stop someone from suing the corporate entity the device would be owned by?

      Seem like we have the same issue fellow sufferer.
      Lately, I´ve found something on youtube, in the neuro modulation vally, that really is helping me as we speak.
      I had given up this "Residual Inhibition Effect" a long time ago, even though it seemed to give me relief the first year or so.
      Try listen to this for like an hour directly from your computer or using headphones.
      Please tell me if it works for you as well!

      Never mind the "Cure" bit in the name. It´s NOT a cure, but it certainly can give you relief while listening and for some time after.

      It´s really strange. Some how, I believe, this must also have some inhibitory effect of the activity in the DCN.

      They could just have you sign an agreement freeing them from liability before any treatment. If you don't sign, no treatment.

      Sounds easy enough but it's bad for business.
      Yes this is a medical device but before it goes to market it will be in the hands of investors.

      Not treating anyone is worse for business. If you have a product like this there really isn't much else you can do.

      It's not yet a product ready for market. This might be things they're considering among many.

      Fellow sufferer, brother I will give this a look for sure. I am aware of residual inhibition, recently I posted a reply to a girl who said her T would briefly go away after swimming. I told her to check out RI to see if it matched her experience.

      I experimented with RI years ago. I'll checkout your link, hopefully it has made testing with RI easier to get longer effect time.

      Thanks for the link!

      So you wore the device for 30 mins and it masked your tinnitus while wearing it and when you took the device off, tinnitus was at an all-time low?

      Sorry, if I'm asking a question that has already been answered, but....

      Does this treatment involve electrical current/frequency placed on/near the ear? What exactly do they do?

      I ask as my chiro. wants to try auriculotherapy in treating my H. He would use a version of this... https://bodyclock.net/stimplus-pro-unit/ ...to simulate neural pathways/point in the ear alone.

      As I understand the subject of this thread can make T worse I certainly would rethink going about treatment. I've also had a very bad experience with electro acupuncture (electric leads connected to needle placed in neck just below ear) thus making me highly cautious regarding any treatment utilizing electrical stimulation.

      Thanks!

      Anybody care to venture a guess as to how long it would take for this to come to market?

      As I count it there are 3 devices on the horizon that use sound coupled with electrical input. Neuromod device, Susan Shore`s device and this one. Hopefully the extra competition will speed things up and the time to market will go down.
