"And by studying why some cells populations become depleted, the research team may be able to identify a population of cells that do retain the ability to regenerate, and, crucially, to understand why."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlear_nerveExactly which nerves, if I may ask?
Maybe that's what Otonomy is going to use for the upcoming hidden hearing loss clinical trial?Can anyone give me a straight answer as to why they aren't testing NT-3 on humans since they have proven that it restores cochlear synapses in mice?
Anybody?
Its BDNF. That is promising too.Maybe that's what Otonomy is going to use for the upcoming hidden hearing loss clinical trial?
When's the trial?Maybe that's what Otonomy is going to use for the upcoming hidden hearing loss clinical trial?
Phase 1 will start later this year I believe.When's the trial?
Ok thanks, I've been looking on ClinicalTrials.gov and haven't seen anything. If you find a listing, please post.Phase 1 will start later this year I believe.

Thank you so much, I'm super interested and would love to participate.

This is the one near term thing Otonomy is doing that I'm very interested in learning the results. Honestly people on this site should be a lot more interested in these nerve targeted products. Shame on all the members here for missing an untapped and less complicated target for new drug candidates. Still while everyone else is asleep at the wheel @JohnAdams and I will be in on these Tinnitus fixing drugs and living the quiet lifeOTO-413 (BDNF)

Also want to see what solution they produce with OTO-613 (hopefully sooner rather than later). OTO-313 is unlikely to work so I've been skipping over mentions of that product.
because when the hair cell regenerates it produces chemicals that the nerve sniffs out and then starts forming new connections.I'm confused; how is regenerating hair cells enough when there's other parts of the puzzle, like loose synapses?
So Prp would result in new synapses too ?because when the hair cell regenerates it produces chemicals that the nerve sniffs out and then starts forming new connections.
Well, if the end result is better hearing, then wouldn't that have to have occurred?So Prp would result in new synapses too ?
Because mice hearing and human hearing are not that similar. Actually mice, rats and humans are not really that similar at all but studies are done on them all the time and studies that work initially in mice and rats often fail in human trials.Can anyone give me a straight answer as to why they aren't testing NT-3 on humans since they have proven that it restores cochlear synapses in mice?
Anybody?
Yes, it is very possible. The technology is viable and restoring hearing will alleviate or eliminate tinnitus. There is already an effective treatment being performed by a pioneering doctor in Seoul South Korea and I know this because I have gotten it. For those that don't trust him there are other companies going through clinical trials right now with drugs that will achieve the same results.
Where can I read about your experiences in South Korea?
We will actually be interviewing Professor Rivolta next week for one of our upcoming Tinnitus Talk Podcast episodes.Rinri Therapeutics raises €1.6 million seed to reverse hearing loss through stem cell technology
Rinri is based on the pioneering work of Professor Marcelo Rivolta, a world leader in the field of sensory stem cell biology. Rinri's technology is based on innovative stem cell research, and seeks to reverse SNHL through the repair of damage to the inner ear, which occurs when there is damage to the hair cells in the cochlear and/or the auditory nerve.
I highly doubt dry fasting will regenerate sensory hair cells, but it wouldn't hurt for anyone to try as long as they don't buy snake oil e-books that advocates for this controversial view as if it were fact.Hi everyone,
Effects of fasting on future hair cell regeneration. Let's speculate...
I would like to try fasting. The whole notion of forcing your body to give up damaged or dead (hair?) cells makes sense to me. And not only to me, Yoshinori Ohsumi, who figured this out, received a nobel prize for this research.
I will discuss how to do it safely with my GP next Monday.
Some people even claim autophagy helps for tinnitus! And if it doesn't, at least my body got a good detox. No harm done right...
In the best case I will get rid of some damaged hair cells debris that is now just taking up valuable space for the new ones that FX or Audion will regenerate.
But then I thought about auditory nerves...
The real magic of hair cell regeneration are the auditory nerves that have shown to reconnect to newly grown haircells. Even after lying dormant after quite some time.
Would autophagy potentially kill these off too?
I know we are just speculating here, but I would love to hear some angles on this.
Do you think fasting will increase or decrease my chance of success for future hair cell regeneration? Or have no impact whatsoever?
Don't get me wrong, @Contrast. I don't expect fasting to grow sensory hair cells in itself, but I do wonder if it could make room in the inner ear for FX & co to do their thing... more as prepwork... Clean out the debris if you will.I highly doubt dry fasting will regenerate sensory hair cells, but it wouldn't hurt for anyone to try as long as they don't buy snake oil e-books that advocates for this controversial view as if it were fact.
Are you saying the reason they aren't testing it on humans is because it might not work? Isn't that the point of a test? To find out?Because mice hearing and human hearing are not that similar. Actually mice, rats and humans are not really that similar at all but studies are done on them all the time and studies that work initially in mice and rats often fail in human trials.
In Canada BC Powder is British Columbia Bud. Two very different products.Well i was taking a brand called BC Powder.
Don't dead cells get flushed out by the body anyway, like just deteriorate to nothingness?Don't get me wrong, @Contrast. I don't expect fasting to grow sensory hair cells in itself, but I do wonder if it could make room in the inner ear for FX & co to do their thing... more as prepwork... Clean out the debris if you will.
But I fear it killing off dormant nerves that we need to reconnect to newly grown hair cells.
If my gp gives an ok, I will consider starting a thread to share any progress or worsening.
I've done both dry and water fasts, it helped the first time I had tinnitus, I've since had a worsening (noise trauma) and have only been able to go for a couple of days here and there due to the extreme stress of the new tinnitus.Hi everyone,
