    Unfortunately indeed. Sound Pharma advances pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials in Meniere's Disease Quote from source: “Additionally, SPI-1005 treatment reduced tinnitus perception or tinnitus loudness (TL) by a statistically significant difference (p-value <0.05 using Fisher's Exact test) when...

    I don't want to be a big party pooper. But I did the same as you. Asking for compassionate use. Emailed them 3 times. Called 5 times. Let my doctor email 2 times. I never ever received one single response. So don't get your hopes up. "Boosting up the habutation :wacky: o_O"

    Walked by a Loud Jet Engine That Made a Loud Sound: Now My Tinnitus Is Worse

    Flying to Finland to meet my girlfriend's family. 2th time flying. No biggie with good protection. It's all smooth. For the next part I couldn't be prepared for. I went out of the airplane. We had to go outside, old school no tube to walk back into the airport. The engine from the airplane was...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    I've lost track of which research is going on. There is a lot going on. I can remember somoene made a nice overview of all the type of research (modulation, regeneration, etc). Do we have thread for this? Like a research track thread overview?

    Checking in from the Netherlands: Got Tinnitus from Using a Hammer Drill

    I have been to Amersfoort as well. The waiting list was about 1 month and they still have one machine for an extended audiogram. So you should call them up. Best of luck! Cheers, Fellow Dutch Sufferer.

    Transcranial Stimulation Treatments (rTMS & tDCS & tACS)

    Why are we not so postive about these studies? I mean this study shows a lot of promise (see link, below)? Or do I miss something?

    Same here @ruud1boy. When I was sixteen and went out, I always had it. It went away always. Like you, I had never heard about tinnitus and the consequences of it. My friends never had it but I got stuck with it at age 18. From then on I always went out with earplugs, while they didn't. Fast...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    For me it's simple. At this very moment in time only FX-322 (not mentioning other things because they still take 5-10 years) seem to have a possibility of lowering tinnitus. So why wait 3 years for maybe compassionate use? It's not like anything else is going to solve anything for us in the near...

    I was thinking that as well, but I can't find anything about the possible side-effects. I (or anyone in that matter) don't want to ruin any changes for FX-322. If it depletes supportings cells like you mentioned audion's drug did then it's better to wait. I saw this statement "No serious...

    So let me use my brain. It says: -sudden hearing loss -noise-induced hearing loss -age-related loss where sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus are prominent features So this would mean that it's not only for acute stages :angelic:?

    "These improvements in auditory function further support the use of SPI-1005 to treat sudden hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss, and age-related loss where sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus are prominent features."

    Oh wow! That is crazy. I had a similar encounter yesterday. I planned to remove my earwax. This time not my usual ENT (who is really good and understanding) removed it, but a different one. We discussed tinnitus briefly. I told him my hearing looks fairly normal on a 8kHz audiogram. He then...

    FX-322 restores the OHC, IHC and the underlying/attached synapses as I have understood. It won't restore a broken synapse if the OHC, IHC are still intact. But do we have an idea if broken synapses or damaged OHC/IHC cause tinnitus? Or what damage would make sense for causing tinnitus?
