So the fullness has eased, but everything still sounds slightly off-center. For example, I need to set the balance slider to around 0.02 for sounds to feel centered. I am also struggling with any type of background noise, which makes me believe I may have cochlear synaptopathy. I will be...

Hey everyone, all of my issues resolved themselves around the end of May to mid-June, so roughly four to four and a half months. Unfortunately, I had more sound exposure about a month ago, which brought back the muffled feeling in my left ear. This has caused everything to sound off-center...

This looks really promising, not only for SSHL but also for tinnitus, and perhaps even for OHC loss and cochlear synaptopathy. With so many regenerative therapies currently in trials, such as CIL-001 and Rincell-1, we as a species must be close, in research terms (about 5 to 15 years), to some...

Hey, I would say it’s around 80% better. I still have occasional days with slight hyperacusis discomfort, but now, at three months since the trauma, I feel like I am improving each week.

I am very interested in how Cilcare will be testing for cochlear synaptopathy outside of speech-in-noise tests and ABRs. I believe they are working on a way to test for this alongside their regenerative therapies.

Yes, it has been approximately two months and ten days. I feel like I have good and bad days. I am trying to get booked in for an ABR to see if I have cochlear synaptopathy, but that means going to a hospital quite far away since my local one does not have the facilities to perform it.

Hey, the tinnitus is back to baseline, but I still have ear fullness and muffled hearing in my left ear. My hearing test is unchanged compared to the one taken before the spike, and all of my tests are coming back normal, so I am a bit stuck!

Thank you for checking - hopefully their slow response is because they are busy setting up their clinical trials 🤞🏻

How long did it take them to reply? I sent a similar email a little over a week ago, but I have not received a response yet.

I really hope this is successful. The hearing loss is starting to stress me out even more than my tinnitus.

Remember, everyone—one day at a time! Each day that passes brings us one step closer to the device becoming available!

Hello, everyone! Tinnitus sufferer since 2019 here. I’m currently going through my first major spike—it’s been ongoing for four weeks and two days so far—after some noise exposure. After lurking here for a while, I figured now was the perfect time to create an account! I’m hoping this settles...
