If it's any consolation I experienced this and also distortion at certain frequencies (so some noises sounded more unpleasant than others and shrill and nasty) but it's calmed down a lot over the past few months.
It became more noticeable in the last month. If I go to sleep I wake up with a drilling sound. Increase stress and the shakes. What do you do to deal with it?
If you read the comments the author is not worried about the recent selling of some stock by insiders. He has a very positive outlook for this company. Also interesting to note the May report of Frequency mentions Astellas paying them in case of any Phase IIb or Phase III trials in Europe and Asia. I think there's a chance they'll do American and European trials starting from Phase IIb to speed up eventual applications for approval in the biggest markets (US and EU).
She said yes? You qualified for the trial? What does your hearing test look like, may I ask?
What was the tone of her voice when she said "yes"? I can't imagine many responses to the question "these are exciting times" other than some kind of positive response. But how someone says it can say a lot. Though then again, I may be reading too much into this.
Mask it with YouTube videos and phone apps with phone under pillow at night playing rain. I function normally with masking.
Unfortunately, masking reactive tinnitus makes it worse for a lot of people (myself included). Any consistent external noise causes my tinnitus to react. I'm best in quiet rooms, but I try to have some exposure to reasonable sound levels to avoid further sound sensitivity. Some believe this condition is a subset of hyperacusis. Regardless, reactive tinnitus is no fun.
Her tone of voice was very hopeful. Also told her a lot of people are looking at this trial and hoping for the best.
Fully agree with you. It only makes sense that they are likely looking for a word score sweet spot. They are trying to get it fast track approved specifically for "clarity" so they need to find people who have this problem to begin with.
I think that FREQ thinks that with a phase 2a study they'll b able to move straight into phase 3. That's why they're being so picky with enrollment now. I remember her saying that (if that's the case,) they'll need a lot of subjects for phase 3 (and thus implying they'll not be as picky).
I really hope that's the case. They are probably trying to be picky for Phase 2a since patients will receive 3 additional doses rather than 1 dose only for Phase 1b.
I don't think they will move to Phase 3. They themselves call this Phase IIa and they even state they will receive money if Astellas initiates a Phase 2b in Europa or Asia.
They stated that with COVID-19 they could still have fewer participants than their estimated enrolment. So it's still possible the delay might not be that much.
They're presenting at a conference tomorrow (virtually) so we may get some updates then.
A good portion of it cut out for me. Anyone able to watch this in its entirety?
