Hello @robertp396, Welcome to Connect. I wasn't familiar with the procedure so did a little reading and found the following information that might help while we wait for others that may have experience with the procedure.

Have you looked into any other treatments?
Your Dr. is WRONG; uneducated re. vibroacoustic therapy / soundtherapy /therapeutic music.
There's alot of info about how it comforts and heals. Please see utube for info... try Ted Talks,

I plan to ask my fertility urologist about AWT on Monday. I have had very good results treating bone spurs/achilles tendonitis with Acoustic wave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). Think of it as meat tenderizer...it smooths the tissues. Anyone have experience, positive or negative, with AWT for radiation ADT related ED?
