The AudioNotch Tinnitus Treatment Blog

To monitor the efficacy of AudioNotch’s tinnitus treatment we send two surveys at one and two month intervals after purchase. In this post we go through the results of the surveys. Please keep in mind the following:

1. The percentages are not statistically representative of the actual results that exist: fewer than 10% of our active user base responds to the surveys
2. We have about a 3% refund rate right now. Thus we believe that those who have a negative experience with AudioNotch would be more likely to respond to a survey resulting in … Continue Reading

Lidocaine patches are sometimes used for pain analgesia, such as for diabetic neuropathic pain. They can be applied locally to the skin and then diffuse into the affected area. There have been reports that intravenous administration of lidocaine can relieve tinnitus temporarily, but lidocaine isn’t the kind of drug that’s safe to be providing intravenously (hence the suggestion of a local system of administration, like a patch). However, I doubt that the patch would effectively diffuse into the cochlea (and I’m not even sure if the site of action is the cochlea itself or the actual CNS – i.e. the … Continue Reading

I’m not entirely sure what to make of this, because I can’t postulate a mechanism for why this might work. But consider the following description of a tinnitus treatment:
Subjects in the intervention group underwent laser therapy for 20 sessions, every other day, 20 minutes each session, which was a combination of protocols used in the previous studies [1, 2, 13]. A low-level laser beam with wave length of 650nm and intensity of 5mW was irradiated to the ear via mastoid … Continue Reading

For a long time, our users have asked us about the success rate of AudioNotch. And for a long time, we’d told them the truth: we don’t actually have this data, because not enough people respond to our internal surveys about the efficacy of our tinnitus treatment. Basically, a small percentage of our users respond to our automated feedback surveys, which are sent at one and two month intervals after purchase. So really, we only have a partial understanding of the data on our actual success rate.

However, we believe in allowing users to make an informed decision about whether to purchase a … Continue Reading

As you go higher and higher in the hierarchy, from lower quality evidence to higher quality evidence, you can be more sure that a therapy is truly effective.

The hierarchy of evidence based medicine

AudioNotch sits somewhere in … Continue Reading
