It's not news that Acousia Therapeutics works with Boehringer Ingelheim ad they cooperate with Kyoto University
But it's new to me that they compare their approach diractly with the Novartis Trial.
I did misunderstand.I haven't checked forums about tinnitus since 2009
Yes interesting. It does look like that to me too when I read the summary. Already preparing for competition?But it's new to me that they compare their approach diractly with the Novartis Trial.
The first thing I focussed on was the word "preserved". This would be too late for me.i liked these lines from the decibel article.
" Data suggests "by restoring the synapse, the inner ear hearing circuit can be preserved, and hearing can be restored and maintained," the company said. "
So Acusia, Boehringer and Kyoto are working together?
i actually do the same, not daily but every month i buy lottery tickets so i can donate!!Everyday I do the lotto and the funny thing is I couldn't care less about the money,I just want to win so I can donate it all to this research lol

If you want to make the most of your money for research, you're better off giving the money you spend on lotto directly to research, and not buy your lotto ticket.
That's how, statistically speaking, research is going to get the most money from you.
You'd be surprised how much you can collect that way. It adds up quickly.
I don't think the money matters anymore. Too many start-ups now competing for a multi-billion dollar business. Money talks and companies listen.
Lol yeah your probably right,I don't know why but I hate giving little donations as it seems minuscule in the grand sceam of things but it's all I have to give right now.I dream of being able to send 10,20,30 maybe even 40 mill to worthy caring organisations that are genuinely trying to fix this problem,presuming that my numbers came out for the EuroMillions.I know though,it's nearly impossible to win but screw it who knows,nothing would get those labs working harder than 40 mill getting thrown their wayIf you want to make the most of your money for research, you're better off giving the money you spend on lotto directly to research, and not buy your lotto ticket.

Not tinnitus, hearing loss. We are in the inner ear hair cell regeneration thread, but Yeah good point. No one cares about T. Hair cell regeneration could help or cure T though as a side affect if the T is caused by loss of hair cells. That is probably a ways out though. I'm thinking the first treatments will get people from severe/profound to moderate. Even that won't cure T since even moderate is at least 50db away from perfect hearing and you can get T with as little as a 10db loss.Too many startups competing for a treatment for Tinnitus? Are you joking?
Nothing would get them spending more than having 40 mil thrown their way, working not so much.Lol yeah your probably right,I don't know why but I hate giving little donations as it seems minuscule in the grand sceam of things but it's all I have to give right now.I dream of being able to send 10,20,30 maybe even 40 mill to worthy caring organisations that are genuinely trying to fix this problem,presuming that my numbers came out for the EuroMillions.I know though,it's nearly impossible to win but screw it who knows,nothing would get those labs working harder than 40 mill getting thrown their way
I am thankful to you too sir.they are very very thankful and it's also a motivation if they see that people care about their work.
Which institutes are worth donating? I donated once to harvard and once to some UK instituteI am thankful to you too sir.
Just think. People that do experience hearing problems (tinnitus, hyperacusis, Ménière, etc....) have difficulty understanding to what extend it can effect one's life. There already is much better understanding if someone in ones family has hearing issues.
Don't expect people to donate to research if there is no personal experience in this debilitating affliction.
I too donate what I think I can spare every month. (I need to put money aside for a future cure though)
I am thankful to all the people that donate!
I am donating to Action On Hearing Loss, Stanford initiative to cure hearing loss and Hearing Health Foundation.Which institutes are worth donating?
yes i mean standford not harvard. and second was HHF so its same.I am donating to Action On Hearing Loss, Stanford initiative to cure hearing loss and Hearing Health Foundation.
Unfortunately I have to agree with you there,seeing 40 mill sitting in their account brings out the greed in people with complete disregard for the greater good which is why I probably wouldn't give to them in one big payment but more so spread out payments in an effort to cut out reckless spending.Theres no point even discussing this though,sadly my numbers aren't coming in anytime soon lol.Nothing would get them spending more than having 40 mil thrown their way, working not so much.
I mean Bull shit for that est., so, reading is argent. member 8930yes i mean standford not harvard. and second was HHF so its same.
It is difficult to choose. There are more universities that do excellent work.
I choose HHF and Action On Hearing Loss because they are not commercial undertakings.
Also they bring together different researchers.
On a you-tube clip from 2012 Stanford talked about a 10 year "roadmap" initiative to cure hearing loss. (First clinical trial in ten years from 2012).
I have not yet heard that this 10 year estimate has changed. So they are still "on track"? Or at least no big disappointments.

more than 13 years ago, some companies wrote that hair cell regeneration will be available today. The 10 years term is equ than "we don't know but there is a chance to get there"
But when I look back the last 10 years, we have some clinical trials running now, that's great! Next 10 years will bring even more exciting things imagine we could enhance some sensitivity in hearing or lowering T for some degree....I don't thing there will a diamond treatment soon.
I hope one of the companies like Auris can earn some big money and invest in more advanced treatments like regeneration.
I am disappointed now. I did not realise this.All that 10 year talk was replaced to within our lifetime. I'm pretty sure that whole 10 year thing is out the window as they realized it wasnt going to happen in such a short period of time.
Could it be like this?: For a drug based treatment researcher need to understand in detail how to manipulate cell division/trans differentiation. All the molecules, steps, processes, etc...Probably the timeline for stem cells and an application for a treatment is more in the future than a drug based treatment developed from the knowlegde aquired by stem cell research in the auditory system.
