nice to see someone is trying something .

There are quite a lot of trials and research. Any company who finds "The answer" (Be that a cure or better treatment) will have a multi billion £ market to exploit so the incentive is definately there!

That's what the ENT doctor said to me 🙂

I’ve read about this device quite a lot in different tinnitus forums over the last couple of years. Good to hear that trials were positive.

Be aware this treatment is for Somatic Tinnitus, a type of subjective tinnitus.

The study is certainly positive for prolonged effects type of subjective tinnitus, however the source paper also pointed out that "this study had some limitations. It is likely that participants were excited at the prospect of a treatment for their symptoms and were searching for any possible sensations; thus, a placebo effect is certainly possible"

Indeeed daverussell but there is hope. I feel any research (Even poor results) are helpful as they narrow down ther focus for better treatment.

[daverussell in reply to JC2503]

Indeed and it may highlight key areas for treatment for other types of Tinnitus.

the Susan Shore device sounds promising, she has tinnitus herself. It’s about a year away from release in the USA, but it’s not clear if or when it will be available in the UK. It seems quite similar to Lenire, but I don’t think that really works.

I get so confused with the % of people suffering from varying types of tinnitus. Somatic hearing loss, etc. However, there’s no proof that 70% of sufferers have somatory related tinnitus. I read continually that a very high % is hearing loss related. All this does is make some of us start searching for yet another cause for our suffering. I’m always going to be stuck in my situation as I never really understand how tinnitus can “dissipate” or “the brain gets used to it”, yet there’s so many suffering chronically. My friend got tinnitus after vertigo 6 years ago, it’s mild mist days, but she struggles at times and hasn’t habituated. I literally get more confused by “cures” or continual battles to try to relieve our symptoms. It’s exhausting and mentally draining.

I'm just going to post a new thread that I hope might answer you're question.In short, I've taken an alternative approach after a recent spike.

Interesting study, thanks for sharing.
