Message from the Group Leader:
"Dear Friends,

SoundCure is a revolutionary new product for the treatment of tinnitus - initially funded by (your) ATA, scientists at the University of Berkley, Irvine first found in 2006 that this technology was more successful than white noise. Now it is product available to all of us.

Serenade® is a new sound therapy system for the relief of tinnitus. This novel, cutting-edge technology is simple to use and customized specifically to your tinnitus. Use it to seek immediate relief and see long term benefits when used as part of a tinnitus treatment program.

The Serenade system consists of a handheld patient device to generate sound therapy, earphones, and proprietary treatment sounds that research has suggested may address the underlying neurological cause of tinnitus.

In 2006, researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) began working with a patient with a cochlear implant who was suffering from tinnitus. Traditional treatment approaches were attempted, but failed to provide relief. They applied a low frequency sound, at a comfortable loudness via the patient’s cochlear implant  and discovered that this relieved the patient’s tinnitus – for the first time in two years, all he heard was a calming, pleasant tone produced by the low-rate stimulus. Transferring this technology from a cochlear implant to sounds anyone could hear led to the creation of S-Tones, the foundation of the SoundCure Serenade® technology.

Dr. Thomas Goyne, a tinnitus-treating audiologist at Aberdeen Audiology, Wayne, PA will describe to us this exciting, new product.

Hope to see you there!"
