That is a good point, but I have been off them for a year and a half, and I am proud of that. It looks like the doctors reevaluated my case, and it appears that I have atypical Ménière's disease or cochlear hydrops.

Just 34.

There goes another ISSNHL attack. I’m losing my hearing bit by bit. :(

Sigh. Another ear problem. My hearing dropped again, but when I plug both ears, my voice sounds the same in both. What is this?

Today I checked the AudioCure website, and it looks like something is happening: They were still recruiting 2 months ago. When I checked clinicaltrials.gov, it seems like there might be results by the end of next month, or early next year. And I know this is not for chronic tinnitus, but...

If I understand correctly, their research is currently focused on preserving the hearing you have, improving clarity, and adding some decibels. Outer hair cells are responsible for clarity and can enhance sound by about 40 to 60 dB by targeting those cells. If it works, it will be administered...

Good news! :) Yesterday, 11 days after onset, I had a new audiogram, and my hearing is restored. There are a few small 5 dB differences, but I was told that will improve with time. The only interesting thing I have to deal with now is distorted sound—everything sounds metallic. But that should...

Thank you for your kind message 🙏. My ear is recovering. Right now it’s about 60 to 70 percent of my normal hearing, and this is the sixth day after onset. I’m still missing a lot in the low frequencies, but speech is understandable again.

Imagine you are in city, where is trial for CL-102, you have acute SSHL, but your loss in only 40 db, instead of 65db+. So you can’t entrol in this study 😫

After two years since my last post, I’m back :( During those two years, I learned how to live with tinnitus. I trained my brain to treat it as background noise, so there were no more “paper tigers” in the room. But yesterday I had sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Forty decibels in the low...

It might help, but only for a short time. When you receive stem cells, even your own, doctors need to prepare your body by suppressing your immune system. This is because the stem cells have been altered and are no longer in their original state. However, after a few months, you are taken off...

Right now, no one knows which treatment will be better for you. Only time will tell. But I imagine it might be possible to get both.

From what I gathered from this podcast episode, their Rincell-1 treatment is supposed to replace broken cells, and later, with Rincell-3, regenerate hair cells. So maybe it will help with hyperacusis. Maybe hyperacusis is just overactive outer hair cells, and this treatment could fix that as...

What helped me was never being in complete silence. I always have the radio on as background noise. During the summer, I read books in the park or just spend time outside.
