Call me stupid but wouldn't we need to regenerate the auditory nerve before we regenerate hair cells, at least in the case of people who have had hearing loss for more than a year?

No, work doesn't really stress me. I enjoy my job. I'm sure it's the noise of work that causes inflammation.

I think inflammation is right on the money. I took a week off from work, and the dysacusis got a little better. Went back to work, it got worse. We must be close.

Here's my guesses. 1) loudness hyperacusis of certain frequencies coupled with dips in hearing 2) tonal remapping in the auditory cortex bringing your brain the wrong sound 3) damaged OHCs that have lost their tuning ability 4) damage to the basilar membrane or middle ear bones Or even a wacky...

I would just like to say Hoot I have almost the exact same symptoms - even the whistling sound over wind and water. I wonder what it could be. I spent a week off work in my silent room, and seemed to get a little better, went back to work, and now feel worse than I started. Very weird. It must...

I work construction and add a new tone every month. It's almost nice, I can pick which tone I want to focus in.

Assuming FX-322 actually regenerates hearing effectively, it would work for all frequencies. The problem with regenerating lower frequencies is getting medicine further into the cochlea, not the medicine itself. Otomagnetics claims they have a delivery method that would get medicine all the way...

Still nothing on their website or the ClinicalTrials.gov page...

"You will be compensated for your participation" so for time, yes, travel expenses, no.

Not a troll. Just someone pointing out your nonsensical CBT hatred. I see this garbage metaphor everywhere too: "It's like getting stabbed by a knife and being told to ignore it." Sorry, no, it's really not. Because stab wounds will heal. Stab wounds have real treatments. There is nothing for...

So many garbage answers! Always funny seeing you and Contrast squealing against CBT. "Why is this our standard of care???" Hey guess what it's probably because the other option is nothing. And doing nothing isn't care. "But it doesn't stop the ringing wah wah CBT bad" no shit Sherlock...

Ok. Youre an ENT. You have a patient with severe tinnitus distress and thoughts of suicide. What do you do/offer/suggest to help this patient?

Hi FGG, I have hearing distortion too, making things sound tinny or metallic, for example paper sounds like I'm gently rubbing two pieces of copper pipe together. Furnace has a whistling sound over it, like some bird. Thing is I have never been exposed to any medications since it started, only...

So many no nonsense no cussing high IQ individuals in MPP. Kinda cringe. I bet they watch Rick and Morty and understand all the subtle nuances and metaphors too!

Isn't that for drugs? Don't medical devices only need 2 trials?
