It's probably just a placebo effect. I remember that one guy from that study that involved drilling the cochlea from a while back. He kept claiming that he thought he could hear a little better as the weeks passed but in the end, there was no real improvement and he eventually even admitted that...

Sounds like it's pretty much proven that it doesn't work. At this point, in the best case, it has extremely minimal effects. I wonder if the in vitro study was faked or if there's just something that makes FX-322 not work in vivo.

I remember when I was a kid hearing medical professionals warning us about protecting our ears. When we were getting one of those required hearing tests at school, one of them warned that anything close to a cure for hearing loss won't be seen in our lifetimes or even in our grandkids' lifetimes...

Personally, I really don't see how one could get into the cochlea without causing more damage to the hair cells. The diffusion method was our best hope. The only other option seems to be making a hole but that's going to be extremely difficult to do without it being very high risk. I know a guy...

It's small due to the logarithmic nature of sound frequencies.

I hear ya. I'm a designer and I generally work on the computer all day and there are times when I have to work on something tedious that takes hours to complete. My mp3 library on my computer helped me so much in being productive. It could make any boring process fun. Not anymore though. Now...

Same here. I used to work on music every week, but now I rarely write or even listen to music anymore. It doesn't sound that good and I am too afraid of damaging my ears further. Also, remembering how much better everything used to sound makes me more depressed.

My memory is a bit hazy on this, but way back before the trials, I remember Frequency Therapeutics mentioning that they had several different compounds that they could test in order to get the deepest penetration into the cochlea. Does anyone know if they already did pretests that whittled it...

True, though if you're at let's say 40 dB, going to 30 dB would be a significant improvement I would think. That is if it could improve frequencies lower than it does at the moment. If it could improve 10 dB from 1,000 Hz upwards, I'd definitely get the treatment once it's ready.

Wow, thanks for all of the replies! Your responses have given me a little more hope to hold on to. I'm just basing it off of how things sound when you significantly boost that range on an equalizer. It makes the audio sound like it is coming out of a cell phone speaker. Human hearing is about...

Long time lurker here. This is the first I've checked this thread in about a year, but I must say 6500 Hz-20000 Hz seems pretty disappointing to me. I tested that range with various audio files on my computer with high-end speakers and I guess I'm not seeing how improving that range is really...
