Sorry I'm a subscriber and didn't realize it was behind a paywall. I will source the above and your questions with screenshots. Yes this is points 3 and 4. Point 2: Point 1 and to answer your question it does not seem he had tinnitus prior but I think it's fair to say that the...

I'd like to add an addendum to this story. In a wonderful article by Fortune here: The founder and CEO of Texas Roadhouse caught COVID. 4 months later, he committed suicide. Family and colleagues detail his final days and legacy I have found 5 interesting things that were not present in the...

Any have word on @Brian P or @Jon R.?

I think the fact that the volume has been cut in half in time is a good sign and I hope it continues. The first point is indicative of some hearing issues, going forward be vigilant about volume and if you're in a loud area there's nothing wrong with popping in some earplugs. Sadly, it's not...

It's real ;)

Five if you consider super-slow-way-behind-everyone-else-but-oooo-gene-therapy-Decibel-tx ;)

Interesting... Also I don't think you'll go deaf or even have bad hearing earlier than most people. Just be vigilant going forward. You're right they should. I only mention age because the older population didn't respond as well to the regen. This could be because of either lack of support...

If I remember right they used Gentamicin for uniform destruction, I don't remember them presenting pictures (this happened before my ears were damaged). During their last R&D they showcased a Mouse Cochlea which had recovered a huge chunk of their IHCs and some OHCs where there was nothing...

Right. I mentioned that part because you had said "High frequency hearing is significantly better and actually reflects higher amounts of hair cells." It's important to remember that the audiogram only attempts to see if the outer hair cells are functioning, not the inner ones. I don't think...

Hearing isn't cumulative in nature like that unfortunately. Each subset of frequency is independent of the other, so it's possible to be able to hear 7000 Hz better than 250 Hz. Knowing if one could hear 20 kHz doesn't give any indication of how great ones hearing is with respect to the lower...

Headphone volume is also decibel measured. Moreover you should stop testing your hearing. It's easy to damage your ears that way. Word Scores or Speech in Noise. It will probably be impossible to know how much of the hair cells are regenerated but you for sure don't need anywhere near 100% of...

I don't want to impute on @Diesel's character my understanding reading his past posts is that he's been pretty consistent. It's just hard to imagine that Frequency Therapeutics would read out the TFI even if they were good given the backdrop that these same members mislead to get into the trial...

I think Diesel's point is that it's tainted regardless.

Must be Covid related.

Theoretically both, however practically it heavily prefers the inner hair cells.

Let's hope not :S

Same, like I can function at work and with loved ones around but it's an act. I'm still grieving all that I've lost. I think there's an upper bound to positive thinking and it's tied to the severity of one's condition.

You can look into theories about hidden hearing loss where some articulate that the hair cell is intact however the synapses have been undone. This is what Pipeline Therapeutics is attempting to amend. There are individuals who have no distortions or issues with audiograms yet struggle with high...

The delivery critique is well warranted and they are working on it in the reformulation of FX-322 and the upcoming FX-345. It's not as rare as you may think, f, s and t can breach that upper bound depending on the pitch of the speaker. You're right there are most sophisticated ways to perform...

This is true!

Right, that other was actually meant for other people. Moreover, I am sincerely sorry your son has missed out on so much. I can't imagine how painful that is as a parent. One thing everyone in this thread can agree on is hate for the disease that has displaced so much of life and has left many...

This is the sentiment I have the most issue with. When COVID-19 was running rampant last year COVID-19 deniers wrongly and consistently brought up the so called "99%" survival rate as a way to diminish the severity of the disease. As you pointed out correctly, this is a false view considering...

This is by far my worse symptom. S's are so hissy and mumble sentences and add a tinge of burning after being hard. It is so absolutely awful I hate it so much. I can't enjoy music, movies or even my f*cking loved ones speaking to me. WHY WHY WHY I keep wondering continuously did I have to get...

I can't live with these distortions 6 months and I've only been continuously tormented

Life is truly unfair.

Yea I'm still pro-vaccine there's not doubt that the vaccine works and moreover there's a chance of COVID-19 running havoc on the auditory system as well. And in the grand scheme of things I'm just one person, my countries collective health is more important than little me. It's just no one is...

My life may be indirectly ruined by this. No one told me that my ringing was vaccine related until months after now every ENT/ hearing place I go harps to me that they've noticed increased anecdotal reports of ringing etc. Even my ophthalmologist knew about this. I got my first dose in April and...

This number is vastly underrepresented. But it's still a minority so no one cares.

There's no point in this suffering, no lesson, redemption factor just a diminished quality of life.

Month 5

I have a coworker who swears that TRT alleviated his pain hyperacusis. He still struggles occasional pain but his setbacks are more rare and shorter to bounce back from. It has taken him years to get here. I on the other hand have undoubtedly got worse with noise. Originally, I thought I was...

If I didn't have this, my quality of life would be so much better. I hear it over S and Sh's when people talk its a constant painful reminder.

My possibly vaccine induced tinnitus was reactive as well. I didn't even know what was happening since I've never had tinnitus but it was reacting to my modem and car air-conditioning.

Sorry Buzzy! I shouldn't have been so ambiguous. Anyway its a copout answer but my tinnitus used to be super reactive and absorbing to high pitched noises. The musical tinnitus has since evaporated I can only credit time but it was awful for a while it would copy bird noises, vacuum sounds etc...

Hi @Forever hopeful, I'm so sorry you're going through this. You're narrative and copious amount of kind-hearted posts haven given me strength in the past. No one really knows the answer sadly, some things mentioned above have merit in the literature including diet and stress. If there's...

Being blessed to have loved ones reaching out and checking in on me. Cursed that I always have to let them down with bad news.

I wish I had connected the dots. Why could I all of a sudden hear my internet modem and be bothered by it. Why did bike brakes start bothering me. I should have known. God why did it have to mess with my auditory system.

Hey @tenforce. I sadly wasn't able to do the ABR test as they first did an LDL test and my LDLs were sadly too low and they decided not to move forward until some time passed as the ABR test can get up to 90-100 dB. In the states I had an ENT familiar with hyperacusis refer me to an...

Wave of sorrow Do not drown me now I see the island Still ahead somehow I see the island And its sands are fair Wave of sorrow Take me there

Hey @tenforce, first and foremost I'm sorry you're going through this nightmare. It can very well be exhausting. We can't turn off our ears and so much of our perception is dictated by the ears, second only to maybe the eyes. I too am excited and hopeful for @Tau's results but in the mean time...

I just don't understand what it did to our ears. My first Pfizer shot I just had the generic sick for a couple of days. One week after the second one I started having reactive tinnitus and in retrospect sound sensitivity. Then I heard a high pitched sound on my iPhone without headphones and...

Month 4

I don't mind waiting, even years! It'd just be nice to know if ears heal. I can live with the tinnitus but the H and distortions it's horror

Anyone think as we get older and naturally lose our hearing, that distortions will fade.

After image follows my hand for slight second after I move it. Never had any vision issues before. It's as if everything is breaking.
