Tinnitus, Deafness and Ear Problems Support Group
This group is for those coping with Tinnitus (ringing ears or ear noise), hearing loss, and all ear issues. Join to find support and get advice from others.
Dr Deridder is the person in Belgium that did the successful implants on those 7 patients recently.
Remember, Micro Transponder is going to be doing several more implants on their phase 2 part of implanting their device, for the purpose of seeing how well it works with different types of Tinnitus.
They don't have that data yet. Soon, they will be starting round two, with several patients.
I believe 2 to 3 million dollars are being invested.
I personally believe this company is on the right track, with their device, I believe this will be in the forefront for curing Tinnitus.
There not there yet, but their first round of implants, went quite well.

I have not heard back from the rep as of yet, I think he is just really busy right now.
We all have allot of questions, and believe me, we will get them all answered, before moving forward with this procedure.
Epsilepsy, I hope I spelled it correctly.
They have thousands of procedures with this same procedure.
Do some research on the interenet. There are like 4 other companies that do this same procedure.
This procedure is being done for several disorders, that people have.
Micro Transponder, is the only comapny that is using this procedure for tinnitus.
This comapny also does several other implants for other disorders as well.
All good questions that need to be answered. What happens in twenty years when you can't get a new battery and you have this useless implant sticking out of your body and your T returns. Of course it would be worth it if you could live T free for twenty years but would it be worse in the future? ie. is this a progressive condition under the surface? Good question about airports. I can see some cowboy at security accusing you of being a terrist wired up with explosives, maybe even trying to remove it...yikes.
btw I was trying the quote tags to see if it would work in this editor but it prolly won't.
The rep is coming back, form out if town
The rep will back from out of town, and I will get back to you
I try and answer your question. FDA rules are not letting reps for these companies communicate things, on a individual level.
Like I explained earlier, there are thousands of these devices that are out there. And I have been told, that they are relatively safe.
Batteries last along time becuase we only use the therapy for one month. or, maybe a second time, if the t comes back.
Idon't know about the airport thing, but I do believe that the airports have ways of dealing with these types of things.
There is allot of people that have metal and all sorts of devices in them, so again, I think that airports are aware of how to deal with those type of things.
As we go along, we will be getting allot more information on these devices.
