    Re: I guess it's time to go....

    The Lenire device utilizes similar neurobehavioral training to what Matt describes, although it is more sophisticated and works much more quickly for those tinnitus sufferers for whom it works at all.

    Re: Is MQA Fading Away?

    Which really isn't a "problem" IMHO, especially since it is unlikely the new owner of MQA (the company) will pursue the original goal of having MQA replace other hi-res digital formats.
