    Tinnitus/Hyperacusis After Years of Loud Music — 3+ Months of Hell on Earth

    I've been doing a lot of thinking this week, trying to untangle the web of ear damage symptoms that have followed my acoustic trauma, and I've come to a similar conclusion. I have high frequency hearing loss that is greater than yours and Benjaminbb's (30ish dB at 6 kHz and 40ish dB at 8 kHz)...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I'm not aware of the specifics on that. You can always try contacting them. This is a good question. I'm not well versed enough to know the answer (I'm not sure anyone really is when it comes to the mysteries surrounding this condition...), but it really boils down to whether the damaged cells...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Not sure what you mean by industrial approval, but the first trial is supposed to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.

    Huh, never thought of that aspect. Interesting speculation for sure.

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Yes, according to these slides (page 17 and 36), there were 4 (out of 13) subjects that saw 10-15 dB improvements at 8 kHz. https://investors.frequencytx.com/static-files/6d161090-16f5-49f4-9606-8caceb5a88a1 It also looks like they only tested up to 8 kHz in the trial(s) that the stat comes...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Well, FX-322 only really touches the higher frequencies, so yes, that's where it works best, because that's the only place it could work. The only audiogram improvements in any of the trials were seen in a few patients at 8 kHz. I don't believe any of the extended high frequency audio testing...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    In theory, yes. In pure terms of physical proximity, that's the case. But there might be some other factor at play. The crux of this question is very interesting to me and I hope they're trying to figure out why the outer hair cell improvement is lagging behind the inner, especially in the...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Yeah, just over two months since onset. Just going to give it some time and see how things go.

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Very interesting. Your hearing loss issues closely mirror my own. Moderate loss at 8 kHz and my ultra highs are pretty shot as well. Had the steroid shots a couple weeks back but it doesn't appear they've done much honestly. Still glad I had them done. Maybe I'll have some delayed improvement...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    What caused your hearing loss and what frequencies was it at?

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I'm very interested if the potential for multiple doses is there as well. It seems like the scientists at Frequency Therapeutics sure thought so, but making the dosing schedule so compact was obviously a big mistake. We'll have to wait and see, but I'm sure at some point in the future after the...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I've seen this image before but never looked that closely at the differences between regrowth re: inner and outer hair cells and at different frequencies. They treated the mouse cochlea in a more direct manner than your typical IT injection, right? Would that change the outcome for outer hair...

    Intratympanic Dexamethasone Injections Greatly Helped My Tinnitus

    That's very interesting. Could you expand on this a bit? Did you notice no improvement for a while after the shot and then gradually noticed it coming back over a certain time frame?

    Thanks. Hoping you see some positive results with this. Definitely worth a try.

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Definitely going to follow your results with the PRP. What level and frequencies of hearing loss do you have?
