    Delix Therapeutics — Neuroplastogen for Hearing Loss

    Wow! This one is rather mind-blowing. I've just had conversations with two people about how microdosing Psilocybin for a month or two greatly helped their depression. Paul Stamets claims that microdosing has more positive long-term effects than taking a larger dose. I haven't touched the...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Good luck with finding the right volume to play it. The volume changes drastically throughout the recording. The low parts are silent if you set the volume low at the peak. If you put the volume a bit higher, then it's hard to sleep. After several weeks of trying, I found the whole thing...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    I agree. Self-reporting isn't going to get it done. Four years ago, when I tried Tinnitus Mix, I thought my tinnitus was fluctuating daily. It took me a while to realize that my tinnitus doesn't fluctuate at all, but my perception of it does depend on a number of things, mostly having to do with...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Throbbing Gristle is easy listening compared to Tinnitus Mix. I'll never again listen to it through headphones while I'm try sleep, but I'm certainly going to keep it in my collection. Desperation makes us humans do silly things.

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    It helped me by making me laugh at myself by trying something so ridiculous. That's when I realized that chasing cures for something incurable causes more anxiety and just makes things worse. Once I just went back to my normal routine and bad habits, I started sleeping again without the aid of...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I don't have MS but I know people who do. Apparently, they have more faith in it than they have in FX-345. Makes sense from a drug delivery and testing standpoint. A single oral dose and some imaging compared to drugs that may not even be hitting the target. As much as it pains me, I understand...

    ERBB2 Activates Growth of New Hair Cells — White Lab at the University of Rochester

    Some people thought computers could never be faster than 200 MHz, never mind fit inside of our pockets. That wasn't all that long ago. I thought I was a negative person, until I joined this forum. Being in reality does not mean being unreasonably skeptical. Maybe White Lab has it figured out...

    Frequency Therapeutics — FX-345

    They've already dosed several people with FX-345 and they're not going to collect any data. How much more money does it take for a few hearing tests on a handful of people? Was that really going to break the bank?

    Frequency Therapeutics — FX-345

    I was banking more on FX-345 working, FX-322 seemed like a long shot. Hopefully their MS drug works, there's way too many people who suffer from it. Then maybe they can return to hearing restoration with a load of cash to do so.

    When I first found myself on this forum, I was desperate like everyone else. I have some Koss headphones (for Tinnitus Mix) sitting on a shelf in my bedroom to remind myself of that desperation.

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I'm one of the few on here that can live with my tinnitus. I'm more interested, at this point in time, in hearing restoration since I know that my hearing will only get worse as time passes. Also, I generally don't like the idea of being on a prescription drug if I can help it. That's why I...

    Here's a qoute by SoundBound in his Success Story post. "R. David Case Tinnitus Mix sound file - definitely worth a shot if you don't have hyperacusis. Seemed to work the first time around at first but second time I tried it about a year later didn't have the same effect." Not exactly...

    Asking for verification is not bashing. Pointing out that this sound file was invented to be a tin foil hat to stop satellites from scanning brains, is not bashing.

    I strongly disagree. Case just made some more claims he's not willing to back up and tried to dismiss us as trolls. This is coming from a man who didn't realize there's a Success Stories section.

    They would post in the Success Stories if this worked beyond a short term placebo effect. The fact that there isn't one Tinnitus Mix success story posted in that section is a valid point that I'm sure Mr Case will not accept. People will come back after a successful mushroom trip but they...

    It's extremely hard to be reasonable and care about the science and the bigger picture when you're desperate. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a large number of people who lied. Do many people sign up as guinea pigs for any type of experimental drug strictly for science, without some great...
