It varies from person to person. Hope and pray it goes away. This is a life of complete and utter hell.

I don't see why hiring anyone means a thing honestly. When they put out a working, effective product then I'll give a shit.

I ride my four wheeler still. I had to remove the aftermarket exhaust though being it was too loud. Went back to stock and good to go. Just wear earplugs and make sure they are in deep and expanded fully.

Yeah to hell with that. The USA has its flaws but paying half your wages in taxes, fuck that. Yes, we pay a lot for education. I have a Master's degree and have spent over $100,000 on that and now am unable to work due to this unbearable tinnitus hell.

As I'm reading this, I'm thinking these people are out of their minds. If it's not disrupting your life, I guess it's not a big deal. I would take a punch straight to the face from Mike Tyson if it made my ear stop screaming 24/7.

It must suck to live outside the USA. We have all the trials, only cost $100k to get an education, the Michigan militia has more firepower than North Korea. I feel for anyone that wants to try this and can't. I spoke to the Vice President of the company today and he is hard of hearing and...

What is habituation? It's been 18 months and my ear is screaming just as loud as day one. Why isn't this getting better?

I would take a punch straight to the face from brock Lesnar if it would stop my ears from ringing 24/7. God I hate this shit!

True. Hopefully one of these actually work and soon. This really blows.

So what happens when you only have problems in one ear? I guess I'm out.

Just forget about suicide. I have been down this road and trust me you don't want to go there. Find a way to deal with it.

I know many people who spend time around super loud noise and don't have tinnitus at all. We just got totally screwed in our genetics I guess.

You're wasting your time arguing with some of the people on this thread. I agree with you that the results and improvements are minimal and honestly not worth the mention. My audiograms change all the time and have changed thresholds higher than the results of the FX-322 study. Until there...

Went to the Lima land speedway last night for the first time since this started. Not letting this shit control my life anymore

It's been acknowledged various times. Read back into this thread. Still not sure why this thread is so active. FX-322 is dead.

A lot of times it's saline. It's called a clinical trial. Keyword "clinical."

You're not wrong.

Well hopefully they can figure it out but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm still trying to figure this out. It seems there is still a ton of talk about FX-322 and Phase 1. I don't have a medical background but doesn't this drug qualify for scrap status? It seems there is a lot of thought that a single dose will help. Have they announced a new dosing schedule...

Isn't the purpose of doing this test to know the level of amplification to give the patient, if any at all?

You can't.

Yep. Tinnitus sucks, but the hearing loss added to it is much worse. I can't hear lows or highs at all on the one side. Super lame.

I would love to be able to hear normally again. I wouldn't even care if my ears were ringing if I could actually hear normally. I envy all of you in that position.

Did you do a lot of shooting? I have major problems after exposure to 10 or 15 rounds from a small caliber handgun. Earplug didn't seal on the right side.

This makes zero sense. It's like being a virgin or not. You either are or not. You can't have it your way; it's not Burger King. I'm scratching my head right now.

People without tinnitus think this is a minor inconvenience and nothing to worry about; hence ENT doctors.

I agree with you that they will eventually figure it out. Henry Ford failed twice before founding Ford Motor Company and being successful. Many people fail before they succeed. There will be a treatment, the question is when.

Zoloft is known to cause tinnitus. Lexapro is too which is what you were taking before. It varies by person. It should go away after a while if you get off it.

It really isn't.

The people who lost $50 dollars a share are hyping the stock to try and make their money back.

As a guy who actually attempted to commit suicide and failed, I would not recommend it. I suffer as bad as anyone here and it's not worth it. Figure out a way to deal with it.

No military service. Just avid sport shooter and hunter; well at least I used to be. Only takes once to ruin your ears in some cases I guess. Dumb.

I didnt' notice a difference when it went from 70 dB back to 50 dB. I could definitely tell when it went from 25 dB to 50 dB though. At 25 dB loss I could still hear birds chirping on that side. Now instead of stereo I only hear them in mono. It's super weird walking outside and hearing birds...

That is what happened to me. Mine were Howard Leight brand though. Shitty.

Might as well be. It's not a medical forum either but a lot of medical doctors apparently reside here. True, but I've gone from a 25 dB loss to 70 dB and up and down with farther and farther from baseline each time. Same in the lows. Who knows.

I could confirm my foot in your behind if that will help. From my own experience of this hell the gains shown are nothing. Maybe in milder loss but in severe/moderate I haven't noticed a difference. Go on and continue to rave about this drug. Actually you should take a second mortgage on your...

That's true. I'm also confirming the Phase 1 data everyone is raving about is absolute horseshit.

How do you figure? Just to show another discredit to your theory, I had a hearing test on December 30th. I was at a 70 dB loss at 8 kHz. I had another hearing test last week, I was at a 50 dB loss at 8 kHz. My hearing loss has floated 20 dB in under 90 days. Can I hear better now; nope. I had...

There is no way to confirm it. I have progressively worsening hearing loss for no reason after the acoustic trauma. In all reality I was exposed to not a lot of gunfire. However, hearing loss along with pressure and fullness pain is still present 1.5 years later. Low and high pitched tinnitus...

If you don't have any actual hearing loss then maybe. A standard hearing test isnt going to tell you that. I have tinnitus from gunfire and Meniere's disease. It doesn't get much worse than this. I'm sure you will be fine.

The odds of losing at the casino and on this stock are not in favor of the house. Hang it up dude. The stuff doesn't work.

If FX-322 shows no change in the upcoming trials, the stock will be worth pennies on the dollar. I guess if you can afford to lose money then go for it. Money would be better spent at the casino.

I would like FX-322 to work as much as the next guy but it doesn't. The Phase 1 results were debatable as well. I doubt the next trial will result in any useful information beyond what is already known.

I think that is a pipe dream. The compound doesn't work, the trial just confirmed that. Back to formula.

I have both and men are much easier to hear than women and children. I would much rather have my high frequencies repaired. Too bad FX-322 didn't work.

Dr. Shore's device should be written off like Lenire. It's not going to work either.

You would be a good candidate for a hearing aid. Those frequencies are critical for speech.

If I could hear to 12 kHz again and other frequencies normally I would be thrilled.

I'm sure this has been discussed but I cannot find it. If you have cochlear dead regions, will FX-322 help? It seems all my EHF have gone from where I could hear them to nothing at any volume.

They don't know if the drug even works. Of course they aren't going to hurry it along. Come on McFly.

Most here have tinnitus from other things, not firearms/military service. A few do but most have other problems. I have it from a handgun and it was mild at first. A year later it's unbearable. I have found nothing to help. I'm in my early 30s and disabled due to it. I have no idea how a person...

It's a rabbit hole. You may find something to help but specialists are worthless. Hopefully it naturally gets better. Wish I could say you will recover but I have no idea. I'm in hell everyday and wish I could have silence again.

Hopefully. They can cure 100 different kinds of cancer, but we're stuck in the stone age with hearing loss. Still relying on hearing aids from the 50s and cochlear implants from the 80s. The field is sad. I wish I could figure out how to function so I could research more.

I'm not sure why there are so many on this site who just assume a drug is going to ultimately be released. The drug may never make it past trials. A lot of people are upset about timelines when it's not known whether the drug even works or not. It's the same for FX-322. People want it out now...

Hopefully Otonomy can test their other drugs. Would be a shame to see this company fail being I think OTO-413 will help. So will OTO-6xx.

No balance issues. Just horrendous tinnitus, pain, fullness, distorted hearing. I've done diuretics with zero improvement. Done all the other crap they say to try as well. Nothing helps. I wish they could just remove the inner ear at this point. They won't approve me for a cochlear implant even...

I live in metro Detroit. I've done the steroids in the ear which have seemed to make the hearing worse. I'm not sure. I wouldn't think that after this long the trauma would still be getting worse. I probably do actually have cochlear Ménière's, it's the only thing that makes sense. Fml.

No clue. I was actually taking Prednisone when this happened. I've been to many, many doctors all whom which cannot offer a thing. It's a lost cause at this point. I did have a trauma in the right ear but it happened almost a year and a half ago. Who knows, just keeps getting worse.

Hi Danielle, I've tried hearing aids with no improvement. I woke up this morning completely deaf on the right side. No clue why this continues to worsen. I just turned 34 years old.

Sleep, wtf is that??
