I'm actually glad you are still around and it is good to hear from you. I just couldn't get excited over 5 dB when I am down 80 dB to 120 dB in most frequencies. Totally agreed with what you said though. Many people still clung to hope after the trials kept coming back disappointing. I was...

Wow. I can't believe this is how it ends. I opened this thread 7 years ago with lots of hope but was always cautious after the previous failures. I lost faith after the audiograms didn't pan out, but always held out hope.

This makes sense then. They are going to keep going with the existing formulation and see if they can get it approved as a speech understanding drug. This would allow them to start making money to keep the company going and continue research. The new drug candidate could be what they have...

The marketing was different back then than it is now. Stanford Cure for Hearing Loss... A cure for hearing loss in 5 years. Then it became a cure for hearing loss in 10 years. Then everyone came out and said, hey this is a lot harder than we thought. Then the trials GenVec started and everyone...

When I first got tinnitus, I got hyperacusis to go along with it. The stress of having tinnitus was too much for me. Lots of anxiety... That will cause hyperacusis as well. As I got used the the tinnitus, the hyperacusis slowly went away. My daughter has lots of anxiety and has hyperacusis to...

Everyone's hearing is different and will degrade at different rates. Bad genes and a few rock concerts and here I am... Some people with good genes can hit thousands of rock concerts and have no issues. Eventually we all get older and will feel it eventually. Most people don't care until they...

I was hoping the music industry would get involved at a certain point. They seem to go hand and hand...

It is relevant to the company and their future. That is the only reason why I brought it back up. We all want the trials to keep going and this could derail that. Hopefully it turns out to be nothing. The results from the next trial is still a ways out. This thread would go dead if we didn't...

You just said it. Team of lawyers that costs money even to hold them and for them to get familiar with what is going on. Agreed, until something is filed, there is no reason to do much, but given the number of firms I saw on the list I think it is coming. My only concern is that this starts to...

Right now it looks like it only reaches up to 8 kHz... They will need to figure out something for a delivery method to get further into the cochlea in order to reach those frequencies.

Agreed that it won't be much, but they will still have to do it at a certain point. It just eats into the money the company has for trials, employees, etc. Frivolous lawsuits happen all the time. They won't be able to recover those costs though unless they can prove the lawyers had no case...

Right now they are all working for free. The number of law firms on this is pretty long. If they think there is a sizeable settlement to be had they will pursue it. Fishing is only the first step. If they do this to 10 companies and 2 pan out then they have won. It is common practice for them to...

They aren't just fishing, they are collecting fish. Right now they are waiting for more people to contact them and just taking names of people and institutions that have lost money. They will tell the people that they do'nt have to pay anything and have nothing to lose and that they will recover...

You are right that they are just investigating, and the case could not even have any merit, but I've been through this before. These law firms have the paperwork all written up from the last case they put together. They find the most similar one, change some words, in some cases they even...

There are going to be huge losses from investors due to the run up and then the subsequent drop. Most of those law firms will work for free in hopes of a big payday. Investors will call them because it costs them nothing and they lost lots. Frequency Therapeutics will have to defend themselves...
