I am currently on the Neuromonics Treatment. I have only been on it 2 weeks, so no real changes yet. I received it from the House Ear Clinic here in Los Angeles. It's very expensive, but it supposedly has a high success rate. You wear something called the Oasis Device (like an MP3 Player) that is programmed to your hearing loss. It takes a lot out of your day 2-4 hours. You can do more if you like! Fortunately I work at home for that could be problematic. When I wear it I have relief. It's supposed to take at least 6-8 months for progress. You can googole them or look them up on the ATA website.

Leslie,
Thanks for your response...
Wow, this original post is almost 2 years old now. Much has been posted on neuronomics here since then.

I'm new to this! So I didn't pay attention to when it was posted! Did you try it? How do you manage yours?

Leslie,
I never tryed neuronomics. Much has been posted here on neuronomics (search the archives). For what is is worth, I have read of favorable things on neuronomics, but not too many if any favorable things on this site. I manage my t best with an ear masker. It's a white noise generator like a hearing aid. It doesn't cure or completely mask the high pitch ring I have, but it does provide a necessary, not-unpleasant, external sound distraction for me. This does not work for everyone. For me it saved my sanity.

There's more information on these at www.generalhearing.com
I wear the BTE (behind the ear) model.

Yes, I have been researching the site and it seems to me that the people that didn't do well with the Neuromonics, didn't follow the Treatment properly. You really have to devote the time.The reason the songs are boring is that they're supposed to be. Your brain tends to push them to push them aside after awhile, and thats' how you re-train the brain to push your Tinnitus aside. I will be 3 weeks in tomorrow, and the first phase is 2 months, so I have a long journey. Good Luck to you!

I have been using neuromonics for a long time,..not much to report sad to say ..

Michae:
How long have you been on it? How long a time span do you devote each day. I'd really like to know.

Hi Leslie ive been using the unit now for over 2 years ..and i use it for about 4 hours every day < usually broken up into two 2 hourly sessions > .. .. ..but i must say that if my T is a little lower which for some reason it does this from time to time then i don't use it at all, as its good to have a rest, as too much of any stimulas can drive you wacky ..i really think you would be just as well off with a decent i pod and some digitally mastered Tinnitus nature sounds which you can pick up these days really cheap ..i also have a white noise generator and a bed side nature sounds unit and an under pillow speaker ... Michael ..

I haven't tried neuromonics either. I have some tinnitus cd's that I have put onto my MP3 player and have started listening to that ( now that Tipa didn't work for me ) for two to three hours a day. I figured that the premise behind TRT and neuromonics is to train your brain not to listen to the T, so maybe I could do it this way and save myself some money. It's worth a shot I reckon .

The Neuromonics device's "music" is paced to a resting heatrate, which I doubt, unless you're a sound engineer, you could duplicate. It is also attuned to your particular hearing loss in each ear, from the Hearing test they give you. Also during the first phase they embed a "noise " within the music which is supposed to mimic your Tinnitus sound. They take that out in phase 2. I doubt you could do all that by yourself with an Ipod.

You're probably right Leslie, but with nothing to lose, except maybe the T, I'll keep at it anyway.
