    My Story Started 2 Months Ago

    Though noise can be a cause very well, infections sounds likelier to me. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/18837228/ Especially in young adults infections are often linked to tinnitus. It might disappear for you, at least it's good your hearing result shows no indication of damage.

    Does Anyone Still Use Power Tools?

    True, but I want to avoid that I'm overprotecting or create a unnecessary fear of sounds. I notice I've because reluctant due to the tinnitus, to use a lot of tools. Just out of fear of t worsening. thanks for the feedback.

    Does Anyone Still Use Power Tools?

    Approx. 99, 100 according to the db meter. As per the tool manual it is lpa 72, lwa 84 and lpcpeak 84. And that confuses me.. is the manual wrong, or is my db meter strongly deviating...

    Does Anyone Still Use Power Tools?

    Anyone got an idea how loud certain tools are, e.g.: (Edit obviously that's not me; I would use hearing protection!) And for example drilling in concrete with a small jack hammer, screwing with an impact, or sawing with a circular saw for example? I've bought a dba meter but it seems...

    Pain Threshold (in dB)?

    Not a scientist, but in essence a protein which can be triggered to signal Notch. And with Notch they theoretically they could initiate creation of hair cells. E.g. what Audion is doing with LY 3056480.

    The way they phrase could also be to protect the shareholders. This fund is clearly ment for research and not development of any drugs. Those are entangled of course but formulation could make clear that it entitles US government to nothing. But that is me speculating.

    As I mentioned earlier, the fact that Edge was founder of Audion, but also of DX would make me think Audion is chanceless and more feels than a EU funded research to be applied by Edge at DX. If Audion would be so promising, with Edge on board (though currently only advisor), why would a vc as...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    As indicated earlier by Aaron, it's indicated with profound (i.e. somewhere around 95Db loss) the supporting cells would be gone and FX methods would not work, not with 50. See earlier in the topic, thought the source was a quote by one of the researcher on Reddit.
  60. Berik

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Yes.. though technically there could be conductive hearing loss which in some cases can be fixed operative. Or potential nerve damage leading to hearing loss. Anyways, the hole purpose of FX approach is triggering regeneration of those dead cells.
