After the most recent acoustic trauma I suffered in the beginning of 2020 from a blast to my left ear, I experienced 24/7 deafening suicidal multi-tonal tinnitus in both ears. In the left, 3 different sounds - Jamaican drums, idling truck engine, jingle bells. In the right, loud oscillating...

https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-chip-hearing-a9647306.html In a report by Independent, Musk revealed that the chip will allow the wearer to hear things that they weren't able to hear before as it was out of a human's hearing range...

'The speed with which fascin 2b moves may facilitate repair of breaks in the actin cables of the hair bundle when the ear is exposed to loud noise. Investigators found that what appears to make the hair bundle so durable in the face of such forces is the rate of protein turnover, which enables...

That's terrifying... so if the stria vascularis (blood supply) to the hair cells has died after noise or medication damage... Then does that mean the regeneration of hair cells with FX-322 may be futile? How would we know if the stria has died?

Another article emphasizing hair cell loss vs stria in aging: https://www.jneurosci.org/content/early/2020/07/17/JNEUROSCI.0937-20.2020 This report upends dogma about the causes of age-related hearing loss. Our analysis of over 120 autopsy specimens shows that inner-ear sensory cell loss can...

Supporting the view that the enormous market of presbycusis seniors will benefit from FX -322 and other hair regeneration meds... https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing/age-related-hearing-loss-hair-cell-damage/ Old prevailing view: Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, is generally thought...

Since the bisphosphonate was administered 24 hours after the noise exposure in the mice, do you think it's worth trying a prescription for tinnitus/hearing loss that has lasted months?

Anyone in Cali wanna form support/talk? The worsening has been more than I can handle alone. Thanks.

@HootOwl, I read in your profile that you have similar tones to what I hear - insane metallic bells, distortions, among other things. After a recent acoustic trauma. Can we please chat about how you cope? It's beyond overwhelming. I didn't see an option to send you a direct message. Thanks.

While waiting for the siren sound to abate and hopefully disappear..If you are open to hypnotherapy, it can be very beneficial in re-framing the sound from a tormenting, insanely annoying (and in your case hearing sirens is understandably disturbing because they are meant to cause alarm for...

@Oceans63 Surgery for hyperacusis can include cutting the tympanic muscle. Another procedure is round and oval window reinforcement.

Yes, it's horrific. I hear a distortion- a thud in my left ear - triggered by my voice, cough, sneeze, laugh. It is also triggered by low volume incoming sounds like lightswitches, door locks, plastic lids, appliance doors. Audiologists/ENTs have only guessed that it could be damage to nerve...

Curious... How long do you estimate this reasonable time frame to be and why? I consider you to have breadth and depth of regeneration research knowledge. Thank you! You are much too valuable to us and this world to depart. You are gifted... and I hope a reason for you to wait it out with us...

@dan How does one get Trobalt from Spain? Step by step would be so appreciated. Thank you!
