Looking at (for example) http://www.svdinc.com/mambo4/content/view/40/76/ ,
this looks like it exploits very similar ideas to my 'detinnitiser' method,
though here it's accompanied by a smooth sales operation and lots of guff.
Don't know how much this lot costs, but there should be no reason why this
sort of sound therapy can't be made available to anyone for a few tens of
pounds.
It's the same difference between 'laser therapy' and the simple effect of
shining in a torch, though in that case the method probably doesn't work
anyway! I am become increasingly cynical and more than a little p*ssed off
at this whole 'tinnitus relief industry' with all its shiny bullshit and
profiteering, backed up by out-of-pocket users with a clear motivation to
believe in their placebo.

Funny you should say this Steve. I am looking at one advertisement that
claims 80% "improvement". I know their 80% is phony
What is their definition of improvement
Who did the study
What about the placebo effect?
The problem too is that tinnitus can be at so many levels - ear, midbrain,
and brain that unless you treat them all, your chance of cure is reduced.
That is the approach I have taken - hit all areas - and hopefully this will
be of help.

EXACTLY! I had tried about 15 doctors in both HK and China until by
chance i was referred to be treated by an acupuncturist in Vancouver.
After 2 treatments, the discomfort, which felt like spasm or minor
seizure, disappeared from my head while the sound became less but is
still there from time to time. It no longer bothers me now!
So when are you going back to China and tell me story or clinical
observation to the Chinese students in Shanghai? The latter are a
bunch of blindly westernized plastic learners?
