My personal belief is that reactive tinnitus (at least how I experience it) could be occurring as a result of synapse damage. If degraded synapses lead to hearing difficulties when presented with noisy environments, it would seemingly make sense that tinnitus would elevate in the presence of...

I got maybe two years in me. Maybe. For me, it’s either some improvement via Ebselen or game over.

Totally get where you’re coming from @Zugzug — and appreciate your valued input as always, especially taking a bearish approach — but maybe a 10 dB shift can have massive implications in terms of tinnitus reduction depending on type of damage and location of frequency. We simply do not know how...

The FDA is a bureaucratic institution that does more harm than good. Case in point.

Not a good day by any stretch, but I am not fully convinced the drug is dead. Could FX-322 not be efficacious after all? Absolutely, but I think more due diligence must be performed before drawing that conclusion. Clearly, there was a case of issues that could have prevented a successful...

Nope. Wishing for death.

The Hill: 62 percent say third political party is needed in US Since we already have two right-wing parties... How about a party that DOESN’T hate poor people?

We need to stop letting mild-T habituation stories become the main representation of tinnitus suffering. It can be severe. We need a cure.

Sign me up for some social democracy, please and thank you. There are some days where I feel like going total socialist but then I remind myself of just how unfettered U.S. capitalism is. The innovation from capitalism is great (Frequency Therapeutics), but the inequality needs to be addressed...

I continue to worsen. No noise exposure. No ototoxic meds. I don’t see myself making it through the year. All hope is dead.

If President Biden wants a public option installed, he could get a public option installed. He’s in the pocket of private insurers after how much he received in donations from Anthem and Centene — and the CEO of Independence Blue Cross headlined his first big campaign fundraiser. In the words of...

More like seeing the glass as what it really is instead of letting mainstream media tell me what it looks like.

That’s exactly the problem. A Democrat President, a Democrat-controlled House, and a Democrat-controlled Senate... and bringing a public option into play would be too much? That’s where we’re at. I get that it may not be indicative of his full plan, but still. I don’t have much hope. I guess...

Unless he revamps his plan, he seems to have pulled back on the public option. His proposal is a dream for private insurers.

Sorry to hear that. These conditions are so brutal and know no end. You become bitter after a certain point. This life is not exactly what I would deem fair. For some reason, my issues have worsened even further. I’ve been homebound and avoiding noise to a strong degree. It’s a sick joke. I...
