AM-101 TACTT1 Results Released

Sorry to hear that..mine started after playin drums and my dad was on guitar and he was using a tube amp and it was a pretty small room.. Prob as loud as a concert and i forgot to wear headphones like i usually do.. And both are ears were ringing afterwards but his went away.. But im just glad mine dropped down to what it was for the first two days.. Its not so bothersome now since its not loud or even noticeable unless in quiet rooms but my anxiety bout it is just horrible.. Just fear of it gettin worse.. But gotta stay possitive... Something no one ever thinks bout before it happens but i like to stay possitive that everyone that has this at all levels will be cured in all our lifetimes.. Even if its 30 years SOMETHINGS gotta work.. Wish i could figure this thing out.
 
Hey all.. New here...im 23 I got T on november 14th 2013 from real loud exposure... And had a really loud ring in my right ear which dissapeared after 2 days.. Thought it went away but few days after noticed it just went down to like a really quiet ring.. When i cover my ears theres a high pitched ring ( really quiet) and then another noise that fluctuates like a bell or something.. And my right ear hisses kinda like static when im in a quiet place. Deff notice it when sleeping so i have to put a white noise masker under my pillow which masks it all. Went to an Ent got my hearing checked and still have near perfect hearing.. Doctor said i was really lucky cause i was basically partially deaf with that loud ring which recovered after two days.. And that the noise thats still there should fade into the backround. Most of the time it does but i dont know bout anyone else here but before i had T i would get the temporary ear rings for like a few secs that would go away.. And i still get that like every two weeks or so where
My right ear will just spike up for few secs then drop back down and each time it happens my panic and anxiety just goes crazy cause im afraid one these times its not gonna drop back down in level. But idk im trying to accept that this most likely will get worse and im gonna have to deal with it. But i just pray that we can all be cured in the next 5 - 10 years.. But if all of these trials are for acute T.. In 5 years all of us will be chronic sufferers and I fear that it wont effect us :-(.

Its true but if you look around in this forum you can find that treatments for chronic tinnitus are also being worked out. Yes probably there wont be " a cure" for maybe 20-30 years but in 5-10 years there probably will be better treatments which will help avoid spikes and enable people to keep a normal quality of life. Also, medications like Am101 will probably also enable to find methods for chronic Tinnitus. Most of the important scientific discoveries and treatments have been made in the past 10 years so the development has been enormous. However I think that many patients with T need repeated treatment and it may not work on everyone.
 
Your story sounds exactly like me. I'm 26, and I had my loud noise exposure in a bar 3 days before my 25th birthday. Same deal with the ENT, same deal with freaking out when one ear spikes like you are talking about. Absolute panic. I have the same concerns about AM101.

Hey both of you... you sound just like me years ago. If you would like to speak about it more specifically feel free to post a support thread. My experiences parallel yours very closely and I could at least give you some insight as to what you can expect and deal with.

Evening all - I hope everyone has had a quiet day today and tomorrow is even better! :beeranimation:

Apologies if this has already been posted here, but the company is stating they aim to have data by 2015. Given this, and the clinical trial is a success (fingers crossed!!!!!!!), do you know how long these sorts of drugs take to get to market. Lets say they have the data and get FDA approval in June 2015, how long would it be until its available and how does it work with Doctors in various countries "learning" about the new drug/how to administer it etc?

(Lack of medicine degree and research makes me ask!)
 
update on the site: The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the study drug, AM-101. AM-101 is tested for the treatment of tinnitus that started as the result of an injury to the inner ear or due to middle ear inflammation (otitis media). Subjects with tinnitus can take part in the study, if their tinnitus started within the last 3 months or within the last 4 to 12 months.

Amelia, no reason it won't work for long time sufferers and every reason to be positive!! When I say "work", even if this drug has the capacity to dampen down the loudness/level of discomfort from tinnitus, that will be enough for many people. I know within myself if I can get any improvement, quality of life will be substantially improved.

More pertinently if Auris Medical succeed in getting the to market, you will see a lot more investment into tinnitus as they will attain a monopoly position on treatment and will make an absolute killing. Remember also that Sofinnovas Ventures & Soffinovas Partners have invested c. $51m into Auris' two lead drugs and they would not have done this without some convincing evidence that this will succeed. In my opinion that is too substantial a number to take on a punt.

Roll on phase III, but if anyone can answer my previous question regarding when this could potentially be available, please do let me know :)

Dear,

Coming back to the e-mails below I regret to inform you that after further follow-up and verification we will not be able to allow you to participate in the study due to legal aspects. It is required for study participants to be residents in the country where they participate.

I apologize for this inconvenience and hope that your tinnitus will become more manageable through other means.

Best regards,

Study side is in Belgium and I live in the Netherlands (although we speak the same language due to legal aspects it is not allowed :unsure:) Bummer!
Hopefully others are more successful
 
Well thanks for trying Meestijn. I was going to try to get in, but then I found out the trials were located in Germany. Why do they get all the brand new medical testing?

As far as I can tell there is nothing even close going on in America despite the government throwing $2 billion in the garbage every year paying for tinnitus "therapy." You'd think America, with it's thousands of vets suffering from tinnitus, would spend more on tinnitus research.
 
I belive most of us here have chronic tinnitus.Are you people hopeful that this just might work for chronic tinnitus? (I would be happy if it could prevent my tinnitus to get louder).
I feel like if this work only for acute tinnitus, than the pressure to get a treatment for chronic tinnitus will be lower :/

I think in order to use it for chronic tinnitus they need to draw some sort of borders or do additional testing. Also, no one knows when the difference between acute/chronic tinnitus starts so that might need additional testing. Probably each case is individual as well.
On the bright side, I think the information available to us is rather limited and there is probably more research going on.

I think scientists are gonna be shocked when they do more trials and see that this is gonna work just as good with someone who had it for 10 years then someone with 3 monthes!!!!

Plus the fact that some may discover leads by accident

Actually, there are US sites enrolling people for the phase 2 AM-101 trials now. One is at the University of Miami. I will post a contact number when I get it (someone PMed me and asked for it). I believe there are other sites in New England. The issue is, as I understand it: You need to be no more than three months from onset for at least the Miami trial. I think the EU trials are allowing people up to one year, but not here in the US. I am checking on it now.
 
the positive effects of AM-101 are irreversible for that specific case it was used for. Don`t know how long it will protect you form getting tinnitus if you suffer additional hearing trauma or loss of hair cells.
 
Shall I tell you honestly what I hope?:

That brave people some cool dudes just enroll themself regardless how long or what kind of T and this t*ring slow trial gets to speed the hecked up!


I meet all the criteria for eligibility and will happily sign up for this trial despite the fear of a needle through the eardrum. Yes I'm brave, the picture says it all ;). Problem is I live in North America, Vancouver, BC and I really can't find any trials out here anywhere. If someone could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it. Meanwhile I'm going to talk to my doctor and call up different Universities out here to see if I can find anything.


Thankyou all
 
I know another side in Michigan in Henry Ford Hospital, near Ann arbor and Detroit.

The needle entered my ear drum three times now, nothing serious, it is okay

I would happily receive 100 times of a needle through my eardrum if that's what it takes to stop T!
Don't miss the chance man...
