Subsonic ammo and a suppressor will be staple gun quiet. Add hearing protection on top of that and it will be very quiet. Now shooting around others there is no guarantee. Wear good muffs with a high NRR and foam earplugs at a minimum.

You probably have the standard 4 kHz notch that many people get. The ringing is hyperactive nerves making up for the loss off signal. Usually the ringing is at a frequency just above the loss at least based on my research.

I just ignore it less. I think some of it is real (the tone is really there) and some might be my hearing.

She won't. My bet is the University will likely look for someone to license the tech to that will commercialize it. Notice on the last page "Product Launch Strategy - To be determined by licensee". Commercializing and manufacturing a product requires a completely different skill set than...

A hair cell is a hair cell and there is no fundamental frequency response difference between cells. However, the location within the cochlea determines its frequency response. The outermost cells being the highest frequency and the most inner being the lowest. I don't think there is any...

I'm speaking on as to how their respective drugs worked in the lab. Frequency Therapeutics is trying to expand the number of LGR+ progenitor cells and then converting those to hearing cells using additional drugs in their cocktail. Regain is not doing any sort of expansion. Both utilize a...

You are assuming both will provide equal results. The literature suggests FX3-22 “cocktail” of small molecules will produce better results than REGAIN’s sole use of just a gamma secretase inhibitor. How this translates in vivo for humans we don’t know yet, but I think your conclusion that...

Yes, but premature loss of those frequencies (8-16 kHz) would be an indicator of hearing loss and could warn people to start making lifestyle changes before it gets to the important frequencies.

Yes, there is a delay of about approximately 10s to 100s of milliseconds before it comes back.

Your average Dr. practicing medicine in a clinic or hospital is just a product of the medical education system. They are taught the literature on symptoms and approved treatments. They don't have the time or resources to innovate and advance treatments that require heavy lifting like tinnitus...

This is pretty cool. Hopefully the only side effect is increased happiness!

In the United States it is now the first to file for a patent that gets patent protection. It used to be first to invent, but that changed several years ago. So this is likely the rush to patent regardless of how well it works. I don't think it is a rush to produce a junk device. Filing a...

The difference in pace is clearly pure market capitalism vs a government grant. Where did you see 2020?

Thank you for posting this. I know first hand that T frequency and hearing loss are perfectly correlated. Wherever I have a notch, there is T right above it.

Elon Musk knew nothing about rockets 20 years ago, but here we are today with the most cost effective solution to putting things into space with SpaceX.
