We are open to help anyone who walks through the door of our clinic. Keeping a healthy diet and maintaining physical activity isn’t expensive, yet it generates significant changes in our nervous system. We don’t hold the view that only technology is able to reduce tinnitus. We as patients can do it too, if we know how activity of synapses works, how to keep balanced diet and do proper physical exercises aimed at tinnitus reduction.

There is a lot of laryngologists in the world, the number of audiologists is fewer, and audiologists familiar with the nervous system (also known as neurobiologists) are almost nonexistent. In order to work on tinnitus treatment you must have specialized knowledge in neurobiology. We provide 3-hour-long diagnostics and consultation session. It’s much longer than a typical medical appointment. Other medical centers can’t devote that much time for one patient; therefore, the consultation isn’t thorough, diagnostics and selection of treatment technology isn’t precise. Specialists’ approach towards tinnitus itself is another factor. Almost always when one of technologies doesn’t bring noticeable effects, the blame lies with a specialist, his bad approach, lack of specialized knowledge in matching and recognizing activity of the nervous system. Being a specialist is not enough! At the same time, you really need to be a devoted fan of audiology and neurobiology to continue your personal development in order to get better and help others. In Poland, neurobiology as a field of study has been present for 4 years now, so it’s safe to say there’s still a lack professionals and appropriate approach. We don’t want to risk lowering effectiveness of our therapies by making them available for unqualified specialists with doubtful diagnostic methods. By contrast, in our clinics we control the work of our specialists and their knowledge. We are certain that in near future we will be able to organize training courses and training sessions regarding our technologies and making them available for other companies around the world.

Numerous studies have been done on effectiveness of our therapies, but they are more likely to be found in neurobiological sciences and less likely in audiology section. For this reason, we made them available on our website and ready to download. Unfortunately, most of the research are complex and written in a scientific language, because they relate to the nervous system which constitutes 80 % of the auditory pathway. An audiologist or laryngologist probably isn’t even aware that multitude of commonly asked questions can be found in neurobiology. Patients tend to have similar approach. Therefore, no results will be found when typing only words such as ‘tinnitus treatment’, ‘tinnitus methods’. The only way to be successful in your search is to use scientific terminology connected with treatment process, for instance: ‘Tinnitus as a syndrome for lack of adaptation of the nervous system, leading to activity decline of cytoskeletal proteins Arc/Arg 3.1.’ The research itself also describe how the nervous system works. If specialists or patients expands their knowledge in this field, they will understand why our technology is used in certain cases and why the patient has to keep a healthy diet, and maintain physical activity.

Since the opening of our first clinic we have learnt that sometimes we might be miles away from our patients. In the past, each patient had to visit us in one of our clinics at least once. Now, we have created an online system which enables diagnostics and consultation with a selected audiologist. At first, we open online consultation and then we move onto tests available on the website. If it turns out that a necessary examination is, for example, neurodiagnostics which isn’t perforemed outside of clinic, a patient needs to show up in person. If not, we can start a therapy and send all details with a completely programmed device for the whole duration of a therapy.

I believe it can, especially if study groups adjust the drugs they’ve been working on to a patient’s tinnitus plasticity model. However, we can’t forget that the main problem of today’s diagnostics and tinnitus treatment is wrong and ineffective use of therapy methods and unsuitable match to a tinnitus type. Similarly, high frequency audiometry test is performed by a few clinics.

Of course. Should the need arise, our clinics are open from 8 am till 4:30 pm on Saturdays as well. You can make an appointment at the convenient time for you, but please remember you have to be prepared for 3- or even 4-hour consultation and diagnostics.

High frequency tonal audiometry is the very first medical test we conduct and it’s obligatory for every patient, mainly because nobody has done it before. We have been running our clinics for two years now and we’ve never had a patient who would bring this particular test results on a first appointment with an audiologist. Second required is a tinnitus test to characterize plasticity model of the nervous system that was triggered by hearing loss. Should the need arise, we also perform auditory brainstem response test (ABR) or auditory steady state response test (ASSR).

Technologies created in the past were able to help some people. Every specialist thinks there’s only one type of tinnitus and tends to evaluate each tinnitus patient in the same way which is the main reason for low effectiveness of treatment. It seems pharmacologists have similar approach that’s why an effective drug still doesn’t exist. We have distinguished four types of tinnitus causes. An important aspect in how tinnitus generates depends on how long a patient has already lived with it. Acoustic trauma and high pressure are considered irrelevant. We have discovered that a patient who’s been suffering from tinnitus for two years shouldn’t be treated in the same way as a patient who’s had this disorder for four or ten years. Our discovery made us more precise in terms of selecting a therapy for a particular type of tinnitus. We consider this revolutionary, because we can be 100% certain which technology will surely be effective and which not, if we know how the nervous system reacted.

It’s not the patients, but our specialists who are responsible for a therapy selection. It’s not so hard, though: If you’ve had your tinnitus for two or three years, we will choose Synaptic Adaptation Arc Therapy for you. It’s the most suitable one, because of the spontaneous activity of synapses, the fact that the nervous system still hasn’t given up on the connections between cells, so the acoustic stimulation is continues to have an impact on upper neurons in the auditory pathway. If a patient has lived with tinnitus for over 4 years, the nervous system isn’t able to connect effectively with unstimulated cells. As a result, the nervous system makes low-frequency connections neighboring frequencies in order to acquire stimulation from auditory cells. Acoustic stimulation won’t work in a short period of time and one of the options is to use stimulation until the nervous system is fully reconstructed. Therefore, if we are very particular about the duration of a therapy, it’s better to choose rTMS which can directly depolarize neurons of the auditory cortex. A frequent symptom of such plasticity is sound hypersensitivity. Too many neurons connect with one cell; therefore, a clearly heard signal becomes amplified. Models are matched in a similar manner, which will move a signal responsible for influencing simulation structure.

Yes. Sudden hearing loss in itself is a sign of something bad happening with your health and you need to implement changes not to make it worse. In addition, neither a drug nor a nanotechnology that would increase neurotrophic proteins, serotonin and cytoskeletal proteins Arc/ Arg 3.1 were invented. Thus, we have to use natural correlations present in diet and physical activity to increase those factors. A diet, physical activity and the factors that need to be on the highest level indicate if a therapy will bring any effects. We can’t influence something which is not plasticized; therefore, we need to plasticize our nervous system with those indicators. It will make a structure change faster and in a beneficial way for us. Depression informs us that the nervous system lacks plasticity, so we won’t observe any changes during therapy or stimulation. At first, we need to increase all the above mentioned factors which will be favorable for the changes and healing from depression. Except tinnitus treatment, we also focus on other disorders which are constantly putting off the beginning of a therapy. A patient feels considerably stronger when eating properly and exercising physically and the hiss becomes more silent, so we are given the green light to start a treatment. The proteins start to work, they are on the highest level, along with the maximum possibilities of therapy effectiveness.

It’s an individual aspect. You need to remember our goal isn’t tinnitus reduction but making the process last longer and get rid of the negative symptom of the nervous system called tinnitus. For instance, in synaptic adaptation therapy we want to adjust the size and weight of the synapses to the reduced stimulation. Sometimes a patient informs us that tinnitus was reduced for a week or so but it returned again and sometimes it became quieter after removal of a device or during the process of wearing it. The effects can vary, but sometimes we need to wait till the end of a therapy to notice them, and there’s nothing wrong in that. Everyone has different SSA levels (stimulus-specific adaptation).

We are trying to find an answer why. Sometimes it turns out that patient’s tinnitus has lasted longer than he/she thought, which means a different therapy should have been used. Multiple of complications in life might have an impact on a treatment duration, such as illness, living a stressful life, wrong diet and lack of physical activity. As a result, plasticity of the nervous system lowers and simulation is less effective. In the process of looking for a cause, sometimes it turns out the problem lies in an improper diet and low physical activity. It’s easy to notice which patient has been conscientious, and who hasn’t been eating healthily and exercising physically. We can distinguish many factors, but our goal is to find a cause and focus on making it more effective. If a patient tells us about his/her depression in the middle of a therapy, it’s hard to have noticeable results. As a consequence, we terminate an ongoing therapy, a patient needs to consult a dietician in terms of a diet plan and in order to cure depression as soon as possible. Please note that technology isn’t enough; what we do counts as well.

Of course, they do. Neurons and their activity depend upon glucose, proteins, and other neurotransmitters which concentration is determined by correlations between diet and physical activity. This significant factor is often omitted in everyday life by most of us. Some patients admit their tinnitus was reduced by 50%, they’re satisfied and refuse further treatment.
