    Hough Ear Institute's Hair Cell Regeneration Project

    Definitely not mid 2020. They're just starting phase 2 of clinical trials. If the results are positive, they'll start phase 3.

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    ä Assume someone with hearing loss and tinnitus. If this drug improves hearing but has no effect on tinnitus, it could still seem like the person's tinnitus has improved because of his better hearing. They really need to find a way to objectively judge whether tinnitus improves.

    Analysing UK Biobank Data Together

    I LOVE this idea. But, is there a possibility to include hyperacusis?

    Great news! Even if this only heals acute damage, knowing that my tinnitus and hyperacusis can never get worse would be a huge relief.

    Where Does Hyperacusis Stand in Terms of Ongoing Research/Treatments?

    Could you give me a link to that anecdote? On topic: the Brai3n clinic in Belgium offers hyperacusis treatments. It involves placing a small membrane on the eardrum to relax the tensor tympani muscle. I have no idea about the success rate...

    PILOT: Vote on Your Favourite Research Paper!

    I wish I had the time to read them all :( EDIT: Stupid me. I'll try to read all the abstracts. But to be fair, it's hard to judge a paper by its abstract.

    No Ear Pain from Noise, Just Pressure in Ear?

    It is a form of hyperacusis.

    No Ear Pain from Noise, Just Pressure in Ear?

    You probably have Tonic tensor tympani syndrome. You can google it. Give your ears some well deserved rest.

    I'm still very skeptical but please let this be true. Curing hearing loss with a simple pill would be amazing.

    Lecture ("Tinnitus: Ear or Brain") by Dirk De Ridder in Belgium on April 22, 2019

    Neither my tinnitus nor hyperacusis are of such a level that I'd consider experimental treatment.

    I'm not convinced. You could say the same for so many other drugs who do get adequate funding. Why can Frequency easily get funding while Hough's pill is supposed to be better?
