I pray every day for a cure.

The bilateral stimulation devices aren't a cure, but they do meaningfully help. My tinnitus is much quieter after using it.

Did you use the Lenire? I was hoping the Susan Shore device would be available by now since it supposedly had a much better study backing it but it seems to be stuck in limbo. I’m not even sure if it’s been submitted to the FDA yet.

Yep, I used Lenire. Based on the the comments on the internet I expect the other device to work better but Lenire was what was available and it did the job for me.

I’ve been reluctant to seek out the Lenire since a number of people claim it made their tinnitus worse
