I'd suggest trying not to tale those. Seems like it'll only make you worse in the long run...

Hey, Can you give example of which food you're eating in your low sodium diet ?

I think you should buy headphones that have a high noise isolation rating. Then you can try them with the volume low and see if it affects your T. Personally I can't use them even at low volume now as it affects my H and distorsions

It's likely because the base noise level is lower indoors. So when there is noise it goes from zero to lots of noise, and as something is wrong with your middle ear it create a spams or something. I used to have this as well but it faded. The more you think about it the more it will happen...

If the test that the ENT wants to give you is an audiogram then you can definitely do it, it won't cause any harm.

I think this article is refering to the Audion trial.

According to Charles Liberman it will also help for hyperacusis

Nice work! Which new features do you plan to implement? Maybe I can help... Maybe answer in the original thread.

You can't deny that the U.K. has one of the best healthcare systems though...

Hey I've been to an amusement park since getting T and H, and the loudest is not the ride but the people screaming... They were destroying my ears on every ride, though my T hasn't worsen permanently. With some earplugs you should be fine. I can recommend you the earasers hi-fi with the...

We don't have the detailed result of the trial yet, just a statement from frequency tx saying that it has been successful

I doubt it but that's exactly what I have so fingers crossed...

They're using the same kind of product than AM101, which is having a hard time at showing efficiency... I hope that they really improved the formula :-)

True... I just hope they won't have trouble finding people for their trial, as identifying hidden hearing loss seems quite challenging...

Sounds like another Auris Medical...

I don't get why they won't also try this on people with tinnitus and hyperacusis? In the research around this area there are some good belief that this could alleviate hyperacusis and tinnitus.

Well that's what they'll do. They'll focus on their hearing loss program given the fact that their attempts with other products haven't been really successful.

They're going to be 50% off on the treatment from mid January to mid February. It can be a good opportunity if you're in a hurry though it's probably safer to wait for official treatments http://cmclinics.com/2017/12/26/50-discount-for-the-korea-grand-sale/

Otonomy said they'll annonce the plan and timing for heir hearing loss program in the first quarter of 2018, so we'll know more soon. I'm quite exited about that ribbon synapse restoration.

For me habituation is when you hear your T only when you think about it, and when you think about T only once in a while. It's like you forget you have it.

Last February they told us 12-18 months for the trial. Since the phase 1 trial has been a little delayed I guess it will probably start around the 18 months mark, so at the end of this year.

A phase 1 trial focuses on safety. In most cases efficiency is not monitored. Patients from the clinical trial had cochlear implant surgery just after the procedure, so efficiency couldn't be measured anyway. We have to wait for phase 1b/2 for this.

Congrats ! Hopefully it will last ! :-)

Ok thanks. And did they inject the cels directly in your ear ?

How long after getting T did you got the treatment ?

That's more than enough for a house party at 95 db. You shouldn't worry especially for one or two hours

Since getting T I've been to several parties and bars with earplugs and appart from a spike of T and H for the next day, it didn't worsen anything permanently. Just don't go to loud clubs or concerts (even with plugs) and you should be fine.

Do you have hyperacusis (pain or discomfort while being exposed to moderate sounds) or reactive tinnitus ( increase of tinnitus when being exposed to normal sounds like conversation or traffic) ?

Taking all those pills have way more chance to do some damage to your body than a phone ringing next to you. Be careful with clonazepam, one of the side effects of quitting it is T and hearing loss....

This video is BS.....

Man relax. Those kind of sounds aren't going to do any damages. In my 1+ year of reactive T and H, those sounds have never increased my T permanently. They only gave me small H setbacks and at worse a louder T for like a day. The sounds you should be worried about are things like loud music...

In my opinion it's more the shity sound quality of phone calls and people putting the phone directly to their ear at max volume that give T than the radiations..... Sometimes you can clearly hear the conversation meters away it's like having loud headphones.

Mine comes and go depending on if I've been around lots of noise or not...

Tinnitus or not it's not advised to use headphone to mix or master... Get a good pair of speaker :-)

I used to do the technique above to hide my earplugs but once they got stuck and I had to go to the ENT to get them removed... Now I use the Earasers with the highest filter: https://www.earasers.net/collections/musician-s-hifi-earplugs/products/earasers They are almost totally invisible...

Does it seems like BS or not ? Never heard of PRP...

Maybe Michael misunderstood you... If by harm you meant pain then yes it can but irreversible damage to the auditory system (such as HL) I don't think so not at 50 dB. Might give spikes that last for a week or more though. When I said harm I was reffering to permanent damage to the auditory system.

@Michael Leigh I don't get it you're the one that's always saying that normal sounds does not harm and that you're suppose to get expose to those sounds and not stay in silence to improve H but now you say that listening to music at normal volume can be harmful ?

Have you try listening to some pink noise for your H ?

If you don't want deep bass cut all frequencies under 70 or 60Hz (assuming you speaker even play that low...). Personally I can't stand bass under 65 Hz especially with kicks like in hip-hop for example.

If you're listening to music from a laptop you can download an equalizer like this one : https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/ Then lower by 5 or 10 dB all frequencies under 200Hz. You can also try to find which frequency bothers you. If you're playing music from your phone it...

How's your H and distorsion those days? Are you getting better ?

Looks like the guy's back... He reactivated the previous posts and is posting new cases on his website. http://cmclinics.com

Just hoping everything is not just a scam...

I find it actually not that bad. What's funny is that audiology or ENT isn't even listed in the disease categories... If our category is in "Other", then the chances are 16% which is quite nice. They don't mention regenerative medecine either

Hey do you have any news about the guy ?

I think this is different than the trial Aaron were talking about for Ménière's Disease ? This seems to be for protection

If I remember correctly I think they said that they needed another year or two of preclinical stage before they start the trials

@Michael Leigh you indeed have the right to speak your own opinion and claim that H can be cured but stop saying "Don't listen to X or Y because he's wrong and he knows nothing about T or H or whatever he is talking about". That's what offend people, at least in my case.

Does your son have pain or only discomfort / amplified noises ?

I'm almost certain that a cure of T will cure H in many cases. A cure for hearing loss might also help with T and therefore H. The term hidden hearing loss also refer to H. If those things don't cure your H, you might want to get your muddle ear checked as the problem would most likely arise...

Bad news for the Frequency trial... The date of last participant enrolment has been pushed back to 28/01/2017 from 15/10/2017 because they have trouble recruiting patient. That's not really a surprise considering the inclusion criteria...

Those speakers shouldn't be too harsh on the ears at least way less than the tv ones. I don't think bookshelves would make that much of a difference. Maybe if you can use an EQ to smoothen the treble it can help. Do you feel that treble sound are more tiring for your ears ?

What speakers are you using ?

It's because those speakers only produce high frequency sound, and your ears must be way more sensitive to then. Try to get some decent speakers for your TV and maybe you'll be able to watch at very low volume

Recruitment start date (planned) is 15/09/17

They are anti inflammatory. They keep the inflammation down. Anyway. Everyone has his own opinion...

Wow man I think you need to educate a bit more on the subject. Excuse me but what you wrote is the stupidest thing I've read here... And what is the fuss with the steroids? This is the only treatment that seems to actually do anything for now, if taken within 24 h after onset of course. Otonomy...

Everytime there is a new thread this debate brain vs ears comes up it's really annoying. If you could stick to the topic that would be nice. No one knows anyway.

Knowing a bit more about OTO-4XX and the synapses regeneration would be awesome as well.
