Looks like HOPE is back on the menu, boys.

I do my best to spread positivity. I feel terrible that he ended his life. RIP Joe. My point was he had this new spike for less than 6 months. It took me 18 months before I had any real recovery and return to a normal life. I was just trying to tell him to hold on and maybe he would get better...

I put most of my stock in OTO-413. I look at it very simply: Shotgun bang, nerves fried, tinnitus starts. Heal nerves, tinnitus ends. Looking forward to Q4 results. I am positive.

Perhaps there are very subtle differences between the groups of hearing loss. For example hearing loss from a shotgun blast of 180 dB might have different kind of damage compared to a decade of being a musician. This may explain why some respond and others don't. Different kinds of damage...

IT'S WORKING, PEOPLE! ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN! CHOOO CHOOOO.

I have two theories for today's stock spike: 1. Things are looking good in the trial. Perhaps some insiders are leaking info to their friends/relatives. Some might say this is not likely, but do you guys remember the sketchy sell offs in the days before the bad Phase 2 came out? I personally...

Hi Joe, You have a lot of natural recovery coming. Do your best to get some sunlight, exercise, and socialization. When this condition is bothering me, I like to use the mantra "It's not bothering me." Me continually telling myself "it's not bothering me" is working pretty well for me. It...

Hello, I got depressed too last year, which made everything worse. I can tell you it will calm down when you calm down. It will take some time, exercise, socializing, and taking on more responsibilities (obviously while continuing protecting your hearing from damaging noises) Being hyperaware...

Can someone explain this in layman’s terms?

I'd rather Otonomy does a good job and develop the best drug possible, than give me some half baked drug that might do half the job. I'm suffering just like everyone else, but at least this isn't 30 years ago when none of these companies or drugs were even an idea yet. At least today we have...

I want to put this out there in case any researcher is reading these posts, as well as for my tinnitus and hyperacusis comrades. This is my personal theory: I shot a gun and went deaf for 10 seconds. Totally normal hearing and ear function for a week. One week after the shot, I woke up with a...

There is evidence of restoration. They restored some hearing function, which means they restored some hearing structures. That is what we’re all waiting for. Restoration. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m dancing around in my underwear.

Where is the hype people!?!? Clinically meaningful improvements!!!!!!

I bought in. I figured God nerfed my ears to make me rich off this stock. So when the results come out it'll be double jubilation or double agony.

First day of Autumn. Persimmon season has begun yayyyyyy

Thanks for your story. Did your tinnitus fluctuate a lot the first few years? I feel like every few months it gets worse for me.

You'll be back to baseline in some time. Don't fret, friend. I've been kissed on the ear many times since my T started (my people do the two cheek kiss to say hello), some fullness and spike, but no lasting damage. You'll be good.

How are you doing now buddy?

What did you set out to do in your 20s? You've accomplished all your hopes and dreams?!

I haven't really shopped around yet, but this is the first one that came up...

I am going on 8 months with tinnitus that started from a single gunshot. My tinnitus bothers me for about 20% of my day, and I am being less and less bothered by it as time goes on (the subsequent visual snow syndrome is another problem but I'll save that for another thread :eek:) What really...

I had a spike from a concert. It gradually got louder over two weeks. At week 5 it started coming down and is 80% back to baseline. Hang in there, you'll be good in a few weeks!

OH MAN AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF SPECULATION WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO KNOW! I have a good feeling about this.

It's been 2 months since my tinnitus spiked from stupidly going to a concert. Huge spike. Didn't start coming down until 5 weeks later. I'm getting closer and closer to baseline, and still improving. I'm about 75% back to before the spike and still seeing improvement. Again, no improvement until...

Hello Glynis I've seen a lot of your posts and firstly I wanna thank you for the constant positivity. I can't imagine what you're going though. Try to stick to your routine, add some regular exercise if you can. Don't block the emotions, just let it out. It may take some time but YOU WILL BE...

I'm curious if it helps anyone else. It would be cool if someone tries and reports back. Its one of those low risk high reward situations.

They are about the size of my palm. I believe they are the Fuyu type. I started with half before breakfast and saving the other half for lunch, but I upped my "dosage" to one for breakfast, one for lunch. Not sure if my recent spike is subsiding, or if its actually helping. It does have a...

Hello friends. I've recently added persimmons (the fruit) to my breakfast and lunch meals and I am noticing less intrusive tinnitus. I am not saying this will work for everyone, I am just putting this info out there in case someone wants to try and see if it helps. Since there are many types...

Hello friend, how is your ear fullness now?

I have a feeling we're not going to see this interview until next week.

For acoustic trauma tinnitus: Are tinnitus, hyperacusis, ear fullness, and hearing loss all caused by a singular issue in the cochlea? Would a treatment/cure for one affect the rest?

Very interesting idea. Might be worth a shot. A skeptical person might say this user opened his account yesterday. A skeptical person might also comment on how polished this user's answers are. A skeptical person might think this person is literally an oil salesman. But I like the...

I understand the psychological issue. Any loud sound is a possible threat to the remaining quality in our lives.

Thanks for sharing. Glad youre doing better. Did you have any other symptoms that got better over 10 months? Ear Fullness, H, hearing loss?

Hello Taylor, I saw your old posts when you first got H. So its safe to say you don't have any H now? Looking for some hope. Thanks

Hang in there! There's hope! You'll be better!

I have similar feelings in my ears. Doesn't feel like fluid though. The T is worse on my left side and so is the fullness. I had fullness, H, and ear pain when I got my initial noise trauma but it went away after a month or so. I had a recent spike a month ago and the fullness came back. I...

Thanks for the positive story. Did you have any spikes from noise events that made the fullness/H get worse for a while?

Allen it can only get better from here. Can you at least please wait for mutebutton? There is hope.

Hello chaLLas. I am in the almost exact situation as you. 5 Months ago I shot a shotgun one time and 2 weeks later my tinnitus began. I had ear fullness, pain, and mild hyperacusis that passed after a month or so. The tinnitus didn't bother me too much, it was bearable. 2.5 months after...

Hello friends. You guys keep mentioning your supporting cells and whether or not they're alive by the time treatment comes. I'm assuming that's where the hair cells regrow from. How long do they stay alive for? I have a feeling the answer is somewhere in the 83 pages of this thread but I'd...

Hey buddy I am in a similar situation. I had the MRI 2 weeks ago and for the past week I've noticed above average tinnitus. I am wondering if it is a delayed spike from the MRI. How are you doing now, has the spike subsided?

I wonder if there are any members involved in the FX-322 trail. And if so will they be able to discuss it with us?

RFM. It’s been 2.5 years since your post. How are you doing now? I am very curious. Did you continue to get better, can you still hear the ringing? DD

Hey Frankie it’s been a couple months. I had a similar incident to your story and I’m wondering how you’re doing now Thanks in advance
