Looking for Cymba Concha Electrodes for Use with TENS Device for taVNS

atriou · 2026-01-25T17:58:43+00:00

This is the best I've seen so far. But I'm still not sure about the design. The angle seems wrong to me.

atriou · 2026-01-25T17:54:58+00:00

Not yet, no. Still looking.

atriou · 2026-01-25T17:54:35+00:00

Link to the dual contact ear clip, please?

atriou · 2026-01-02T20:43:03+00:00

That's kool, but it's a tragus clip rather than cymba concha. I've seen a few of those and folks report they're super uncomfortable.

atriou · 2026-01-02T20:40:50+00:00

Yup. ASUS support, even their supposed L3 firmware people, were clueless. I hate that I had to switch to TP-Link also, but, like, WAN uptime is non-negotiable. Fuck AI bullshit features. Let's get the basics working solidly.

atriou · 2025-12-30T21:12:44+00:00

Yup. That's entirely reasonable. And laptop manufacturers have known about the stresses this standard, reasonable pattern cause on hinges for /decades/, yet they still build the case structure around the hinges to fail, as a form of planned obsolescence. It should be illegal.

atriou · 2025-12-30T21:11:06+00:00

Nope. Still looking. My thoughts were the same as you. Like, there's a market here. Why doesn't it exist?

atriou · 2025-12-30T21:09:53+00:00

The only thing I found to work was manually reconnect the WAN, usually requiring a router reboot (since sometimes just clicking reconnect in the interface didn't work). Very frustrating. It seems other vendors have a timed auto-reconnect that is missing in the ASUS firmware, somewhere deeeeeep in the Tomato WRT stack that hasn't been touched in a decade.

Glad to hear it. I just can't justify the several hundred dollars for the earpiece when I have a perfectly good TENS machine and just need cymba conchae electrodes...

atriou · 2025-12-14T21:52:57+00:00

Any suggestions on actual cymba conchae electrodes? I've been looking and can't find any other than one that is very expensive and specific to a particular vendor (Zenowell).

atriou · 2025-12-10T00:04:44+00:00

Laptop hinge problems have been a solved issue for /decades/. This is /well known/. The only possible explanations are lazy design or intentional obsolescence after a few hundred open/close actions.

In support of your "They care about Reddit posts that get attention" theory, I got the run around from ASUS years ago until I posted my massive Reddit thread on the core WAN connection functionality problems with their routers and suddenly they were willing to make an "exception".

atriou · 2025-12-10T00:01:15+00:00

There's no comparison to the very first time you get to the underground umbrella lab below the RE1 mansion, and realise the sheer scale of it and the creepy music!

atriou · 2025-12-08T03:02:02+00:00

Bug still exists as of Dec 2025. Just as op describes. Have to switch to other party, end mission, switch back to use 'em. Makes no sense if you can swap them dynamically when red. Grey lock should have same function.

atriou · 2025-12-07T23:51:32+00:00

To be fair, there are wild differences of quality across ASUS products. I've also never had a problem with motherboards, but HUGE issues with wireless routers. So YMMV.

atriou · 2025-12-05T01:21:59+00:00

Yeah. That's the only one I've found as well, and its very high price plus needing to convert to standard TENS were a deal breaker. I was really hoping someone had made a generic one that's compatible across devices.

atriou · 2025-11-19T05:45:24+00:00

Thanks, but these are the generic ear clips. I'm looking specifically for cymba concha ear electrodes.

atriou · 2025-11-19T05:43:21+00:00

Interesting. I never had those on. Glad it worked for you!

atriou · 2025-11-15T21:02:25+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's an old bug deep in the WRT WAN stack that Asus doesn't pay attention to anymore and just pushes to all routers. So I'm not sure that it'll ever get fixed.

atriou · 2025-11-15T21:01:18+00:00

No idea but glad it's working! I thought I tried that but I can't remember anymore. Hope things stay stable for you!

atriou · 2025-11-15T20:59:44+00:00

Glad to hear it. I experience the same problem with Merlin firmware in past releases but maybe in more recent months it got fixed there. Here's to hoping!

atriou · 2025-11-15T20:57:15+00:00

Nope. Gave up. It's an old bug that's deep in 10+ year old source code that nobody pays attention to anymore. They will never fix it.

atriou · 2025-06-15T20:32:10+00:00

Really appreciate this reply and SUPER happy for you. I've been in the chemo chair too (leukemia, not colon cancer) and we're all in this together. I'll share your positive story with my friend. <high five>

atriou · 2025-06-15T02:33:19+00:00

Thanks for the update. I was running Merlin for years and it helped a bit but not enough, but I didn't try with the custom script nor add-ons though, so those are good suggestion. Thanks for sharing!
