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.
I am going to be in constant contact with this rep. He is very humble, and intelligent, and really cares about resolving our tinnitus issues.
I am planning on going to Europe in either OCT or NOV of next year, if the European Commission approves this procedure. We should know by June of 2012.
Trust me, I would never go over there and spend $20,000, if I did not think this could reduce my tinnitus, to the point that I could barely hear it.
We will know, after this second trial, if this procedure can literally get rid of somebodys tinnitus.
Again, I not sure the amount of people involed in the second trial, but its suppose to be a very sizeable group.
All we have to do is pay attention to all the data that is given to us, about these patients, plus I will be in constant with this rep, and trust me when I tell you, I will be asking a lot of questions, over this next year.
Plus, I will make sure, that we will actually get to talk to the patients, that have had these procedures done.
I know this rep, would not have a problem with that
And, I not going to Europe, unless I get exactly what I am expecting from this company, as far as answering all my concerns.
What I am going to do, and if any of you plan of doing this, is you need to get your tinnitus reduced to its lowest level, before you do this procedure.
The lower your Tinnitus is, the better chance you will have, that the possibility of it going away, could actually exist.
That was my perception, from the 10 patients in Belgium, that have already had this procedure done.
And, what's the big deal of having a wire run from your chest to your neck. There not cutting into your head, like they did with Sampson.
He told me, that the patients don't fill anything, once they implant this device.
Guys, I really believe that this company is for real, and I also believe they have the best technology out there today.
You can see by the videos, and commentary, that they are really on top of things.
They spent 4 years developing this technology. This is not TRT, Neuromonics, or any other sound therapy, like we are use to.
This involves stimulating the vagus nerve with electrical impulse stimulation, along with sound therapy.

A minimally invasive medical procedure is defined as one that is carried out by entering the body through the skin or through a body cavity or anatomical opening, but with the smallest damage possible to these structures.
Neilster, isn't that what they ae doing my implanting the small pacemaker under our skin, from the chest to the neck.
Please do me a favor, and watch the videos, if I am wrong I do apologize. But I thought the Vagus Nerve was there central point, for stimulation, for the brain
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is designed to prevent seizures by sending regular, mild pulses of electrical energy to the brain via the vagus nerve. These pulses are supplied by a device something like a pacemaker.
The VNS device is sometimes referred to as a "pacemaker for the brain." It is placed under the skin on the chest wall and a wire runs from it to the vagus nerve in the neck.
The vagus nerve is part of the autonomic nervous system, which controls functions of the body that are not under voluntary control, such as the heart rate. The vagus nerve passes through the neck as it travels between the chest and abdomen and the lower part of the brain.
Right now all the trials are being done in Europe.
They are implanting the device under your skin. The pacemaker and wire and batterie, is all surgically inplanted under your skin.
It's the same concept as the the person who had the implant into his head.
Look, is going to work.
The PACEMAKER WILL CONTROL THE SIGNAL TO BE SENT TO THE VAGUS NERVE.
ONCE THE CORRECT Area OF THE VAGUS NERVE IS STIMULATED ALONG WITH TH MUSICAL TONES YOU WILL BE LISTENTING TO AT THE SAME TIME, IT WILL ALL COME TOGETHER. It works hand in hand with each other.
This technology already has proven to work. Just keep following my updates, and after a while, you will the results, and you will convince yourself, that this implant, can rid you of your Tinnitus, under the the right circumstances.
Like I told you before, you need to lower your tinnitus to it's lowest point, before having the surgical implant.
I could really use all of your help, in checking out this company, and the project they are working on.
Even talking to the COO contact, and asking him questions, would be great.
I want to see if we all are on the same page, as far as this implant, is being for real, and can really help us.
They spent allot of time talking to me, the other day, and they are going to keep in close contact with me, as well
Trials start next year, here in the US
