Well, I think that creating new hair cells is one side of the medal. The other side is the reconnection between hair cell and the auditory cells and nerves... Herein I see the problem... I've once read that in principle nerves are able to regrow and regenerate, but very, very slowly. But maybe...

I see my relationship with my new "friend" having him since 2019 in a way that it is not me who have to live and deal with the tinnitus. In an opposite way I say that the tinnitus himself has to live with me. That doesn't mean that we both have fallen in love to each other, but we have a kind of...

Still having my new friend.... But he has to live with me ;-)

Hopefully (optimistic) it will be available in 5 years or so. What do others here think?

I hope they will tell us more about the improvements in hearing that they mentioned in April!

Well, as far as I have understood, Frequency Therapeutics had only patients with massive hearing loss in their trial, whereas REGAIN tested their drug in people with mild to moderate hearing loss. That's a difference of the research/treatment... Or do I interpret it wrong?

Thank you :-) That's a good site! Well, so let's hope! I think that in the near future we will have the cure!

Well, I think that we have to wait and see... I am optimistic about both of them, but especially so about FX-322. Don't ask why, but it sounds bit better... ;-) but hey, the more research we have, the better it is, or? BTW: Cocktails are nice ;-)

43 companies?? Please list them.

Better slow than nothing.... And I really hope for a breakthrough! I want to be able to hear!

If they say "improvements in hearing", I'd say yes. But maybe I am wrong about that? Now I've seen the post by "FGG" and I'd like to agree with him/her! The new hair cells may form new synapses. But they probably partially use the existing ones of the previous hair cells? If so, I think that...

Don't forget the number of people who potentially need this cure (young people who are heavy headphone users, who attend loud parties, go to loud concerts, etc. and also people who have had a sudden hearing loss).

I agree with that. But it is impressing that the initial test with the drug seemed to be so successful that even with a low (safety) dosage they experienced improvements in hearing! With regards to tinnitus, we will see, because people without hearing loss also have tinnitus... But maybe the...
