    Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Mechanism Discovery

    Yeh, it's more of an otoprotective article, but in reality all of these topics are deeply related. Research like this might be easy to shrug off, but this team has been working on this for years now (since at least 2006), and it tells us that once hearing loss is restored, the cause of the...

    Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Mechanism Discovery

    Personally, I find this article very encouraging. I had been wondering why my hearing was so easily damaged compared to others, and the results of these studies provide some answers. Now I have a better understanding of the source of the problem, and I have hope in the humans working to fix...

    Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Mechanism Discovery

    I agree, it's so nice to see how hot this research topic is at the moment. In fact, all of this auditory stuff has been exploding with research over the past few years. This article is particularly interesting to me though, as I was exposed to a "safe" level of sound which caused my hearing...

    AM-102: Auris Medical and KCL Collaborate in Drug Discovery for 2nd Generation Tinnitus Treatment

    I have had tinnitus for about 4 and a half months now, could you elaborate as to what options I have? I am not sure if this is still considered "acute" but as the window is really just an estimate, I assume anything done soon is better than later. Note: I was signed up for AM-101 but the...

    Any Musicians Looking to Connect?

    Hey @RaZaH, nice to meet you =) Do you have a Soundcloud or account I could check out? I know how you feel though, music has always been one of the most important parts of my life and it is definitely a difficult adjustment. That said, we have two options: adapt or do not, and I would...

    Any Musicians Looking to Connect?

    Hey everyone, I am a (former?) musician who has not made music for the past 4.5 months. I previously made EDM, Pop, Indie type music and I am wondering if there is anyone here who would like to connect and share music and get possibly back in the game? Obviously we can't go to big concerts or...

    Autifony Therapeutics Phase II Study for AUT00063, for the Treatment of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    @Markku, thanks for the information, I enjoyed reading through the slides. I am now wondering how Aut will affect our ability to process speech, although, I believe for many it would be preferable to trade some processing power for silence.

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Wow, this is amazing news. I just wanted to highlight a few things that I found most promising while reading through the article. I will focus on the non-regenerative information, as this information is more practical in terms of applicability at the current time (I'm not a professional in the...

    Levetiracetam (Keppra) — Another Possible Potassium Channel Modulator?

    I have now had tinnitus for a little over 3 months, and I was enrolled in AM-101. Unfortunately my doctor agreed that dexamethasone injections would be a more definite alternative to AM-101 and I declined the trial. I received the injections 1.5 months after onset (although I requested them 4...

    Tinnitus Waves

    Thanks undecided, I believe this is what it's called. I found a post online with input from a number of people who also experience tinnitus. It appears this may be nothing to worry about: http://www.actiononhearingloss.org.uk/tinnitusforum.aspx?g=posts&t=2954 Thank You

    Tinnitus Waves

    Hey Everyone, Does anyone else here have waves of new tinnitus tones that occur randomly? The past few days I have been sitting in quiet rooms when all of a sudden a new tone comes into my ear at a very loud volume and then usually seems to fade within a few seconds. I have noise induced...

    Questions Regarding AM-101 and TRT

    I was a participant for the trial, but I backed out because my doctor agreed that steroids were the better option at the time. I regret the decision, but in the process I did learn that you will have the choice of which ear to choose. So, they will specifically ask which ear you prefer the...

    Questions Regarding AM-101 and TRT

    Yes this that is true, in the post I was going through the theory as it has been given in the AM-101 publications. I think much of the theory can be separated in part from the effectiveness of the AM-101 trials though, as there have been many publications regarding the function of glutamate...
