    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    How can you just make such an assumption and sell it as a fact, people may believe you! As far as I know, we have one statement on Reddit: "If supporting cells die, the epithelium is practically gone, and this would present as profound hearing loss." This is a statement of the Form "if A...

    Poll: How Often Do You Hear Your Tinnitus in Your Dreams?

    This is exactly what happens to me, too. Just as you wrote, when I am about to loose consciousness and am aware of it, my tinnitus goes away to complete silence (but also all other sounds).

    Why We Don't Hear Tinnitus in Our Dreams and Why It Is a Clue

    Hey guys, as this is different for everyone I thought, it may be interesting to see, how often Tinnitus Talk users perceive their tinnitus while asleep, and created a poll: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/poll-how-often-do-you-hear-your-tinnitus-in-your-dreams.27252/

    Poll: How Often Do You Hear Your Tinnitus in Your Dreams?

    In this thread https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/why-we-dont-hear-tinnitus-in-our-dreams-and-why-it-is-a-clue.5721/ I read that people often do not perceive their tinnitus while asleep. Within that thread, the discussion was controversial, so I thought maybe we can have a poll: How often do...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Yes, it very much sounds like Audion's phase 1/2 trial, because it is conducted in the UK and it uses a gamme secretase inhibitor. Later in the article they talk about frequencies FX-322 trial.

    I think effifacy is referring to the diffusion of FX-322 into the cochlea

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    First: I didn't read about anyone from the industry saying that a cure is in near sight. When you are talking about reverting hearing loss, then audions trial is the best candidate for a treatment in 5 years, in my opinion, because they are already conducting a Phase I/II trial. I really believe...

    Auris Medical AM-111

    For people with SSNHL who went to "profound" (>90db) AM-111 showed significant better improvement than placebo - 42.7db improvement VS 26.8db. This is so much better than having no medication at all...

    The Effect of Korean Red Ginseng on Symptoms and Quality of Life in Chronic Tinnitus

    Hi, I looked through the paper. As tinnitus is not a real problem, but hearing loss, I looked for effects related to hearing loss and I have found something. Another paper from 2014. I states that Koread Red Ginseng has an otoprotective effect. The paper was only cited 4 times since then, so...

    Audion Therapeutics Trial

    As I think those treatments will not fix your hearing completely, ENTs will use a combined approach with regeneration and hearing aids. I think they are not "enemies".

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I am very sure this is no full hearing assessment. I tested my hearing between standard frequencies and I noticed great differences for example between 4 khz and 4.25 khz. Maybe you should search for "gaps" in your hearing. Try this: 1. use a frequency generator program (for android: search for...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    I didn't ask him for the name of the company, because I was there for a medicinal examination and time with him was short. I thought that the company can be found by searching for his name. Unfortunately I had no luck, now I regret not asking him. I will ask him, the next time I am there. His...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    I agree, there is for sure not enough information. But given that my finding about Minbo Shim using IGF-1 is correct and complete, it will not affect supporting cells. IGF-1 does not induce some kind of transformation of supporting cells into hair cells as far as i have understood. Here is the...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    This is off topic but: Wow, I have read across the paper which is mentioned in the article and I think they got it. In short: they discovered a mixture of chemicals and developed a protocol to give raise to new hair cells in an adult cochlea by first cloning supporting cells which then...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Do you have any source about future trials? I think the doctor is legit and that he is using IGF-1 delivered through the middle ear and Stem cells intravenously. In my opinion his main treatment target is hearing loss. Also I am looking at his treatment from the hearing loss perspective...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    On which google page did you find the website? I had to go to page 4 :) The clinic has uploaded a presentation which shows selected audiograms and few information about the treatment. It is more like an advertisement. Nevertheless for your information...

    Hearing Aids

    I am wearing hearing aids for 2 years due to bad hearing now. I am 29 years old by the way. At first I was having the same thoughts as you now have. But guess what, when you are confident in yourself, everyone else is accepting you as you are and no one bats an eye. Just be open with that topic...

    Saffron Cure for Tinnitus?

    Hey guys, how much saffron do you take? Read this: Noorbala, A. A., et al. "Hydro-alcoholic extract of Crocus sativus L. versus fluoxetine in the treatment of mild to moderate depression: a double-blind, randomized pilot trial." Journal of ethnopharmacology 97.2 (2005): 281-284. It does work...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    I was thinking the same. As I understand, the death of cells is not a sudden moment rather a process which takes time. Cells maybe survive a long time, before they die. Maybe thats why. As I now am convinced that I have an idead about what he is doing, I am seriously considering going there...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    I think I have found out, what he is doing. In this picture (date: 2016-06-21) in the russian Facebook presentation of the clinic he says "there is hope" for hearing loss with IGF-1. From what I have understood in some papers, IGF-1 is the "Insulin-like growth factor 1" and is linked to two...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    I think, that the audiograms are not faked and he is doing what he sells, regarding the "scam artist" doubts. I want to explain why: There are scientific papers that indicate possibilities to influence the hearing. There are ongoing and planned trials with humans for substances to regenerate...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Did not see any information about it. Just speculatius. Thus my question is, if someone knows any information that is close to that topic: Regenerative medicine in the broader sense of growth factors, stem cell therapies and cancer development.

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Same applies for me. Does anyone have information about growth factors and/or stemm cells and correlation to cancer development? I think, when growth in cells is stimulated in "abnormal" ways, could this lead to abnormal growth, like cancer?

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Dr. Minbo Shim obviously reacted on the e-mails regarding the worsening of the high frequencies.
