(2 of 2) Was definitely inflammation and not a sudden death of thousands of cochlear hair cells like I originally feared. Still gets annoying sometimes, but a little rest, some water, and stretching my neck and jaw, and I'm better.

(1 of 2) Four year mark: right now it's kinda like if I had just listened to a tape on a walkman and it's at the blank part at the end and I forgot to switch it off but there's some tape hiss. I listen to whole albums in the car and it's mostly great, with occasional annoying moments.

48+ hours of the calmest, quietest, least reactive T since November 2020. This is at about 3.5 years.

Three year report: I don't feel like writing much, but I'm doing well. There has been real progress in the third year, just as in the second year. The light hiss is mostly staying in the background. Occasional flare-ups, can be triggered by stressful situations, but not as bad as before. I had...

Three year report coming up. Should be a pretty good one.

This is one of the best accounts I've read on here recently, thank you. I'll be hitting three years in a few months, and improvements have been glacially slow; but whenever I do something I haven't done in several months—go certain places, listen to certain sounds under certain conditions...

This just a couple of weeks after my two year post and I just want to point out that part of my baseline tinnitus sound, the "fuzz on top", has been thinning and receding into nothingness or near-nothingness for the majority of time over the past few days. This is after two years of mixed...

Two years: well, right at this moment I'm doing pretty well, but I still wouldn't call it "out of the woods." I get flare-ups when I'm tired and/or stressed. Sometimes at work I go for as much as an hour or so without even noticing it or thinking about it, though it usually ramps up a bit when I...

If it stays roughly where it's been the past few days, I might consider declaring myself "out of the woods." Very cautiously optimistic.

99% sure there will be no new info. It doesn't happen at these events. When they have something to announce, they make their own announcements. They should be doing safety trials for the newer FX-345 soon, though, so keep an eye out for that.

I was going to wait until the two year mark (November) but since you asked, I seem to be slowly getting better all the time on average. It still has its ups and downs, but fortunately I don't think I've hit a plateau. Right now it's really soft and gentle, but that can change if I stress myself...

Hi, it's the 18 month (1.5 year) mark. Nothing earth-shattering to report; mostly doing OK. I think I'm going to go for a longer stretch before posting more updates on this thread, as I suggested previously; if there's anything major to report in 3 months, I'll let you know; otherwise, see ya in...

...Seventeen months? I guess? I worry a bit about plateauing and not quite achieving the elusive "non-issue" level. It's OK most of the time, but as I get tired over the course of the day, the shrill tones are more prone to peeking out over the top of the gentle hiss. I'm sick of having to lie...

Late spring/early summer is when I had gotten back into making lots of jokes at work, settled into a normal sleep pattern, and was eating normally. So between maybe five and six months. Also, quick 16 month update: the difference between now and my worst period is night and day. The sound just...

15 months (short update) - long stretches of tinnitus being more "in the background", with irritating and annoying flare-ups that don't last horribly long. Much of it has that "static" quality some people talk about. I almost always wake up to a really calm hiss, tends to get more agitated if I...

14 months, a pretty good update. I've had some stretches of several days where the tinnitus sounds are weak and thin. I've noticed something about the high pitched stuff, it's not actually the highest sounds that bother me the most, it's the tones just below them, which are now sometimes gone...

True, but there is no context given for the words in these tests.

A little early to post my 14 month update, but at this point it seems like it's going to be a good one.

To be fair, though, they might have had to crank the volume for him on the tests. I wasn't aware for some time that they actually don't have a "set volume" for word tests and will adjust it to what you can hear.

If there are no trees falling in the woods, but someone hears them falling anyway, is there a sound?

At 13 months I am noticing extended periods of time when I completely forget I have any tinnitus... maybe not hours, but something like 20 to 40 minutes at a time (extremely rough and unscientific estimate). The one consistent thing this whole time has been fluctuation, but the bottom end of the...

A hum in a mixer/sound system can be caused by many things, but if it's caused by a faulty microphone cable, and you replace the cable, the hum won't be "stuck in the mixer", it will stop.

In the absence of science, pseudoscience will rush in to fill the void.

One year. I was finding it annoying and screechy a few days ago, but for the past 72 hours it has been pretty mild and thin. So I guess three full days is a pretty long time for it to not be too bothersome without roaring back. I'm sure the difference between what I do and don't find tolerable...

If a cow could master circular breathing and "moo" without stopping... that's one of my sounds.

Probably because self-reporting is so unreliable. All those things do need to be looked into, but they'd be counting on everyone to describe their sounds accurately, which is probably a tall order for anyone without an audio background. At this point, I don't think there are just tones or...

Please show me an example of someone here being "jumped on" for being "too negative."

Eleven months, not much different than at 10 months. Have had a few exceptionally good periods lasting maybe a day and a half here and there, but I'm tired of the overall thing and just want normality back.

An "ear [...] specialist" who can only diagnose the canal & drum is like an "auto mechanic" who can only change wiper blades.

Does anybody know when the next FX-322 results will be out? Thanks.

I tolerate music when I'm around it, but don't yet trust my ears enough to listen to music I like of my own volition. Maybe in a few months.

One of my best shifts since this began. I have to keep reminding myself the T is there.

Once again, it's about the other people on the forum, even in response to me trying to point out that you're obsessed with the other people on the forum. I don't think you can write a post about the drug or the company without alluding to your disappointment in other people here.

You need to stop making every post about other people here who have disagreed with you. This obsession is unhealthy.

Went to bed early, woke at 10 PM and experienced TRANQUILITY in a way I haven't since pre-pandemic. I am healing. For real.

Ten months, same general trend. By now it sounds like more of a thin sizzling than a hiss. It often drops to inaudible for a bit when I putter around, but then ramps back up again... but to a level that's tolerable, even with foam plugs in. Still annoying though, and still disruptive to...

Projection ain't just a method of displaying images on a screen.

I don't know if there's a special term for this, but there are cause-effect relationships involving distinct events, which is what you are describing, and there are cause-effect relationships that are continuous or ongoing.

How are his clinical trials going?

I'm going to guess no. They don't seem to do "reveals" like that at conferences; it will probably largely be a rehash of things we already know, except maybe some hints as to what R&D has been working on.

Milestone: this morning I could hear my refrigerator AS A REFRIGERATOR from ~15 feet away, not as a low budget slasher soundtrack.

Last November... I hope it was the subwoofer... because my chance of ever doing that to myself again is exactly zero.

Glad to hear you're doing well and hope you only continue to get better!

Pretty mild trip to the grocery store. Let's see how my class goes this afternoon.
