Stem Cell 21 primarily uses mesenchymal stem cells, though I'm told they will have induced pluripotent stem cells in 2020. Further, their delivery sites can include the ear, nasal passages and systemic circulation. This Dallas one looks like systemic only, and with poorer choices for treating tinnitus (adipose and bone marrow). I doubt you would get any benefit for tinnitus from them.
You're talking about embryonic stem cells. The absurd beliefs your talking about are the belief that little babies in the womb should not be violently dismembered and ripped out. Guess what? They don't even need to end the life of an innocent to get embryonic stem cells anymore so cool it with the bloodlust.
Sorry to crush the hope, but I'm not so sure if iPSCs will be an option. I read the following in a study:
You do. They have to be induced, which can be successfully done, but they never replied to my email about whether they can do it.
If I unterstand it correctly you would first have to make iPSCs (which is mostly established by now how to do it, although still quite complicated), but then you would have to differentiate them into hair cells and then inject them so you don't get teratoma (man they are disgusting
). But I don't know if such hair cells would integrate into the cochlea in the correct way. FX-322 seems more precise in that matter. Although we can't ignore that stem cells have benefited other users here before (and I've added them to the list of my options in the case I can't deal with my tinnitus anymore, though I'm waiting a couple months/years first to see whether I can habituate to this new louder noise). 
But umbilical cord blood stem cells, the next best thing after IPSCs, are multipotent stem cells and not pluripotent, so they can't proliferate without limit, so there's little / no risk with tumor formation.
He still purports to be fine with minimal tinnitus. He is still on here every once in a while.
I think the notion that stem cell therapy is still in its infancy holds true across most of healthcare - if you do get stem cell treatment, it's more of a shotgun approach to see what sticks.
Reports of cancer from SCs are rare in general. There actually isn't too much scientific evidence proving SCs exacerbate cancer growth and it's a theory for the most part. The thing with SCs is that it's difficult to target a specific area or malady with them and the shotgun metaphor is likely accurate. Clinics do things to try and help along the targeted use of SCs but in reality it helps very little. Mostly, SCs will go where they are needed which is why sometimes people with comorbidities see improvements in many areas while getting treatment. I believe that SCs can help things like ear disorders but you take a gamble as to how much improvement you will see.
Unfortunately after getting tinnitus I realised how many scams there are for different illnesses around the world. I guess waiting is the only option. I hope someone finds the Penicillin of the tinnitus soon.
Ozzy has tinnitus too, right? Would be interesting to know if it did anything for that.
This would explain why his was a success.
@LJMD said his tinnitus was noise-induced.
Is he still active? If that's true then that would be amazing.
You shouldn't opt for a stem cell treatment unless you're prepared to take a chance.
From what I've read so far (not much), ATEOS had mild tinnitus since childhood. Could this be the autoimmune disorder that @jer here is referring to? ATEOS said there could be made no doubts about the efficacy of the stem cells, since it could by no chance be a coincidence, seeing improvements in that tone so suddenly after so many years. He got another tone by (possibly) a hit to the ear some months before the treatment, and about 3 months after the treatment he saw improvements in that too. That tone could simply have resolved on its own by that time, coincidentally. Don't you think so?
This study here seems very promising:
He's not active anymore so one would assume he is better. You can go through his posts to see.
And now they seem to have deleted this section.
