This isn't the only company to be slowing down now. The cost of short term loans for businesses in the US is absolutely skyrocketing. That and inflation is still very high so the cost of carrying out the trials is now much higher than they first would have expected.
Their Phase one trial was finished back in 2015. The current inflation and interest rate rises didn't cause companies from picking up the drug back then. They were even ahead of Frequency Therapeutics.
Lol, let's give a drug that would potentially help a lot of people to just one person, give other people hope they will get it too, then shut everything down and say screw you, nobody else gets it. But then let's have the one guy speak at an event about how it helped him and rub it in all our faces. I can't, I just can't. It actually makes me laugh thinking about how amazing Hough Ear Institute and Oblato are. 
Are we sure it worked for that person? Maybe they are going to say it made no difference.
Yeah, even Hough Ear Institute would not be stupid enough to have a patient testimonial saying "nope, didn't work"
Yeah, I don't think they would have him come speak at an event if if didn't work for him, tbh.
Lol, Hough Ear Institute are claiming NHPN-1010 will give people complete silence. Does that make anybody else laugh? I'm sorry, I'm going to keep saying this, and many will agree; any drug that would completely cure tinnitus, would take 8 years just to get to Phase 2. They were making all these claims and statements 6 years ago in 2016 when I got tinnitus. 6 years later nothing has budged. Hey, I understand they are a private company and need funding, but I don't know, if the drug worked as well as they say it does, there would be no issue to find more funding. And they did get $2 million from the government a while back too.Another email sent out by Hough Ear Institute contains this story by tinnitus sufferer Scott. At the end:
"I am a rather skeptical person by nature, but from what I've learned of HEI's progress with NHPN-1010, the future for me (and for so many others) looks a lot brighter."

Please be true.
One of its ingredients is NAC lol. I believe we could already assume that 50% of the pill is useless, seeing how NAC rarely (or not at all) helps people's tinnitus or hearing loss. Hough Ear Institute is a joke.
A drug on its own and two drugs together are completely different. You're being overly pessimistic.
That it makes the future look a lot brighter for people with tinnitus.
I understand. Do you think it's all fake just to get funding or why do you think Hough Ear Institute makes these posts?
Glad I could do something.
@star-affinity, I know it's fake! From what evidence I can scrape together (not much), they have a pill that is otoprotective. In layman's terms, if taken just before or VERY soon after exposure to very loud sound, it will prevent permanent hearing damage/tinnitus. Nothing more and nothing less.
Fortunately, for most, tinnitus improves. So finding someone like that is not difficult.
This scares me so much, a recession/depression leading to a serious conflict will kill funding for the [insert hearing related term] Therapeutics companies. Russia/Ukraine and now North Korea/Japan scare me oh so much.
Recessions don't last forever though. A year or two and inflation will be fine again and the FED will be back to handing out cheap loans to everyone.
I find the above kind of noteworthy. Respite or habituation from tinnitus occurs most often within the first weeks or months of onset. For the chronic variety it is much less frequent.
I wonder that too. It would be interesting to know what the person who had taken the pill said.
Did they not give the pill to many different people in the Phase 1 trial? I can't find any information on the results.
