Let me measure life according to its excesses rather than its deficits, and may my mind be untroubled by these strange maladies that hang on us like a curse, polluting our experience of consciousness with abominable intrusions.
Let's Talk About the Things You'd Like to Achieve in 5 Years
- Thread starter victoria9273
- Start date
1. Get totally comfortable with life and get started on the next chapter, whether it be through an eventual cure or just not caring about a dumb phantom sound anymore (getting there!)
2. Get over my fear of recording vocal tracks and finally put out this giant vat of music I have sitting 90% towards completion. I know it's ironic to want to make music with tinnitus, but I would literally trade some of my life force to get this stuff done. I tell myself that good art comes from pain, so maybe the extra pain I've endured will make my art slightly less of a burning trash heap.
3. Get a new friend circle/move to a new place and get a lot of new experiences under my belt.
Feeling very positively about it lately!

Love this mentality. Life is good for me now, but when the day comes that it's cured we'll be the happiest people on the planet. Like spending years putting stock into a floundering company only for it to hit the fortune 500 out of nowhere.

My Man Do it Up!
It's coming man in 5 years or less. Record those vocals tinnitus aside as far as anyone knows you only get one go around. Travel, live, laugh, love.
I want to see more of this this thread. It's motivational. Everyone's got hopes and dreams. Right now as we speak we have several amazing companies, Frequency Therapeutics, Otonomy, Sound Pharmaceuticals, UMichigan, Rinri Therapeutics, UPretoria, working day and night so that in 5-10 years we can all get our hearing, our health, and our lives back, no more ringing, no more pain, no more "WHAT", no fear of sounds, and no more sleepless nights laying in anxiety wondering whether or not this hell will end.
What planet are you on bro? There is nothing... Your best bet is RL-81, but even its developer isn't sure at all about it.
FX-322 reported 10 dB improvements... some people here also reported 10 dB improvements after some HBOT and dexamethasone treatments and they still have tinnitus.
We will all die with tinnitus and hyperacusis, unless you can live to be about 200 years old.
Member10-15 dB improvements after 2 years with one safety dose—evidence suggests that an initial injection is needed to start the regeneration process and the subsequent injections are much more effective. We also don't know how it affected frequencies above 8 kHz, but it seems logical to assume that it positively impacted high-frequency hearing which is what tinnitus sufferers care most about anyway. We will find all this out on May 21, 2021 anyway. Qualm the pessimism.

In 5 years when my hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis are gone, before I settle in France I'm going on a road trip across Europe stopping and eating in every major city from Lisbon to Moscow, and purposely getting as lost as possible along the way. I want to see, hear and enjoy the beauty of this world, free from this hellish sound and medicine induced prison.
