    Banks says the ringing in her ears did not completely disappear, but now it’s barely noticeable on most days.

    “It’s kind of like if I lived near a waterfall and the waterfall was constantly going,” she says. Over time, the waterfall sound fades out of consciousness.

      Yeah it’s just a distraction like playing music/water sounds or getting tickled. Honestly, I’ve put an electric massager to my neck/head and the hum relieves the tinnitus pitch a bit. It seems like this is the tongue-version of that, but since it isn’t as loud they’re pairing it with some sound relief.

      A neat idea, I’m glad that it helps people who can afford it. Hopefully it can be priced more reasonably in the future. In the meantime I will have to keep my headphones handy! lol
