    A whole year endured with its many ups and downs. The future remains uncertain as ever. Wishing the best for all going forward. Persevere.

    B-Complex Vitamins?

    I will report that I recently just finished a bottle of Thorne's B-Complex #12, taking one a day, in the morning, no food, and a glass of water. No noticeable changes occurred over this period, though I should note I was taking other supplements as well. I am hesitant to continue trying it...

    It's really hard to tell either way. There's tinnitus concerns with getting COVID-19 and there's tinnitus concerns (less so, however) with getting the vaccines. Everything's a damn gamble. May you not experience any lasting side effects!

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I agree. As shitty a thing it is to do, it's also pretty shitty to have to live with such debilitating conditions. The responsibility is really on the biotech like Frequency Therapeutics to ensure they can properly detect and screen out possible fakers (or exaggerators).

    Life's just a complete bitch sometimes. You can do whatever you can think to do and it hits you with curveballs regardless. With some luck this may just be a temporary occurrence.

    Should I Give Up on Earplugs? The Ringing Drives Me Crazy When Wearing Them

    Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer to this. The absolute riskiest you can be is to follow the guidelines for normal, healthy ears, which you may find at this link by the CDC, though keep in mind that this chart is not law and could be too strict or too loose for some people. The...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Just spent the last hour or so catching up on posts since the news dropped. I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I thought it was going to be this Thursday instead. I was utterly shocked when I checked $FREQ and saw it brought down to single-digits. The feeling in my chest echoed the sharp...

    Should I Give Up on Earplugs? The Ringing Drives Me Crazy When Wearing Them

    My personal recommendation is that under no circumstance should you go out in public where you anticipate loud noises and not have hearing protection, at least for a few more months. I know exactly what you mean by things getting intensified to a high degree with them inside, and it makes going...

    It was crushing to hear about OTO-413's postponement, but it was devastating to hear about FX-322's disaster. Where is the hope?

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    All this means to me is that it's a good idea to buy, buy, buy as it'll inevitably shoot to the moon after the successful results! (Kidding, of course.)

    Newcomer Seeking Support and Guidance: Noise-Induced Hearing Loss May Have Caused My Tinnitus

    I've got an update to share with those who are interested. Unfortunately, I am not yet cured of this nuisance, but I do perceive that I am making personal improvements, even if slightly, as the weeks go on. Noise Evaluation and Emotional Response Unfortunately, I don't think there's really been...

    Has Valerian Made Anyone's Tinnitus Worse?

    Coming back to report that I had tried two bottles of the above Valerian Root and can report that I received no measurable benefit from taking it, either in terms of reducing the intensity of the noise or improving my mood or emotional response. It is very possible that you simply need to build...

    No success story to report just yet, but I am making progress in handling it all day-to-day. Small improvements will ultimately coalesce.

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I'd checked FREQ's stock history today and thought after seeing the decline that results had been posted and weren't favorable, but I'm relieved to see that isn't the case. I guess this is just the typical volatility of a biomed offering. We're almost there folks. Really hoping and praying that...
