I don't like how final this sounds... Have they given up on FX-322?

Sorry in advance for the ignorance, I have no idea how these things work. When (if, knock on wood) Frequency Therapeutics releases FX-322, how would I go about getting it? Do I simply visit my local ENT and request the injection? Would I have to wait long for them to receive FX-322?

Are you certain your tinnitus was caused by sinus issues and not noise? I would advise you not to use any in-ear maskers. When I first got tinnitus I would use my ear buds to listen to music to drown my tinnitus out and it made it worse. Even listening at low levels. Unfortunately, I had to stop...

Just some advice— I would forgo the MRI. It's obvious you just have noise damage. Doctors do not understand tinnitus. One doctor repeatedly kept prescribing me allergy medication, which, of course, did nothing. My new gp is also recommending me to take an MRI but I won't because I know now that...

How would we do that? Aside from e-mailing, because I feel like those get largely ignored

Does anyone else find that their hearing gets better when they eat/drink better? I'm a heavy soda drinker and when I go a few days without any (drinking water exclusively) I think my hearing gets better. But my mood gets worse because I'm not getting any of that caffeine/sugar which in turn...

I only remembered this after I got tinnitus but they taught us about the dangers of being exposed to too much loud noise back when I was in middle school, I think it was. (I am 22 now). I remember learning specifically about tinnitus. Talk about foreshadowing. Anyway, I forgot about all of it...

Maybe she does have plans to release the device next year and is just trying to keep our expectations low in case something comes up. Which is understandable...I feel like giving tinnitus sufferers a date to look forward to and then not delivering would deal some major mental damage to a lot of us.

Do you have the link to the website that implied her device might be released next year?

Lately I've been struggling more than usual. I was deeply depressed before tinnitus, and now that I have tinnitus, it's like all the fight is slowly draining out of me. I can't see this ever getting better. I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel even though I know the chances of this...

People have asked but she won't answer. I understand she most likely isn't allowed to discuss it while trials are still ongoing, but still. I wish they would just come out and say if they believe this treatment will work for those with more severe hearing loss. If it does, then it gives us hope...

With a fast track, how long do we think it'll take before this drug hits the market, if all goes well?

Y'all still think it's possible for this drug to hit the market within 5 years?

So, I have both noise-induced damage and some kind of hereditary hearing loss (might be Meniere's because it effects my low frequencies too :(, but still need to get tested for that) and I already take precautions when it comes loud noises... basically, I try not to go near them and wear...

I assumed her device would have similar hearing requirements as Lenire since they're essentially (at least to my knowledge) the same device/concept. Hoping I'm wrong, though. With as much time as she's spent on her research, maybe she's figured out a way for her device to work for more...

Oh, that's perfect. I have progressive hereditary hearing loss so by the time this comes out I probably won't have enough hearing for Frequency Therapeutics, either. Looks like both my tinnitus and hearing loss are here to stay :(. Nothing quite like having a whole bunch of new treatments for...

I'm not sure how to interpret this. It seems like she's carefully avoiding giving out too much information. Surely at this point she would know how much hearing you need to use her device.

I recieved a reply from Dr. Shore. My question: I am emailing to ask about the hearing requirements for your device. I have been keeping up with Neuromod's Lenire for quite a while and was disappointed to hear that I don't meet the hearing requirements needed in order to qualify for the use of...

Even if it does not cure the tinnitus, at least I will have better hearing! Which will do wonders in masking my tinnitus. And like @ChrisBoyMonkey said, those of us who aren't eligible to use Lenire because of hearing loss will be able to get the treatment in the future. I pray this drug is...

Since I'm not qualified for Lenire, Susan Shore is my next best bet. Really hoping her device's hearing requirements aren't as strict. I've emailed her about it and will let everyone know what her response is, if I get one.

Hi all. Would FX-322 be effective in treating hearing loss caused by Meniere's as well?

I wasn't planning on trying Lenire until it came to America. Which is a good 1 to 2 years away I'd say... My hearing loss is partially hereditary, and likely to get worse in the 2 years it takes for Lenire to get here. Unfortunately, I think the Lenire ship has sailed for me. I might take...

For the last year I've been banking so hard on Lenire. The thought of a potential treatment being available so soon helped me cope so much... and now I don't have that. I know there are other devices being worked on, but those will likely have similar hearing requirements. My tinnitus is on the...

What type of magnesium were you taking?

Well, looks like I'm barely just unable to use Lenire. Lucky me. Oh well. All I can do now is pray my tinnitus doesn't get worse than it already is in the however many decades it takes for another treatment to come out. I'm going to assume the other devices like Lenire will have similar hearing...

Go to 19:07. There's timestamps in the comments for other questions as well.

Sorry if you've already said this. But were you accepted for the device?

I went back and rewatched the part of the Neuromod Q&A where Ross O'Neill talks about hearing loss. Q: So you do actually have to have a certain level of hearing to qualify for the treatment? A: Yes. So I mean, if you're profoundly deaf, if you're a patient that's a cochlear implant...

Hope you're accepted if you choose to go! Let's pray that the exclusion criteria for hearing loss is more complicated than just excluding anyone with anything larger than a mild hearing loss. I wonder if anyone with a moderate hearing loss participated in the clinical trials and if they saw...

Is there anyone else with moderate hearing loss planning to go in for a consultation? Also, was there any people with moderate hearing loss in the clinical trials?

I sent Neuromod an email inquiring how much hearing is needed for Lenire. I also asked if my mild/moderate low frequency hearing loss would exclude me. I have some normal hearing in the high frequencies. I wonder if they're simply excluding moderate hearing loss at this point for business...

Very disappointing. Ross O' Neill made it sound like as long as you had some hearing you'd be able to use Lenire. Hopefully Susan Shore's device will be more lenient in that area.

If I remember correctly, the CEO of Neuromod said you have to have some hearing in order to use the device. I don't think he specified how much hearing. So even if your hearing loss is larger than mild, as long as you can hear the sounds from the device you should be good. That's what I'm...

Maybe after seeing positive results these people were less careful about protecting their ears which caused their tinnitus to return to its normal level? Just a thought.

I worry about the same thing. I'm 21 with mild/moderate low frequency loss.

My audiologist suggested that I cut out dairy and soft drinks (because I drink a lot of those) to help my tinnitus, but she didn't mention it having to do with meniere's. My dad has moderate/severe hearing loss in both his frequencies. His hearing started to decline in his early 20s, which is...

Hi. I'm 21, female, and I have mild/moderate low frequency hearing loss in both ears. I also have chronic tinnitus, which consists of a hissing/ringing sound (do to noise damage, I used to listen to music with headphones a lot) and at some point I also developed a low pitch humming/sometimes...

Oh yikes! Here's to hoping the Lenire device works.

Does anyone have any idea what stage of clinical trials Dr. Susan Shore and her team are on? And when their device might be available? I heard the University of Minnesota is also working on something but haven't heard anything about that elsewhere except for on Tinnitus Talk. I just want to...

Will this device work for people who have mild/moderate low frequency hearing loss? I have a hissing/ringing that is caused by noise damage but I also have a very low pitch droning/humming that I think is caused by low frequency loss. At the moment, it bothers me much more than the high pitch noise.

Does anyone know if you get to keep the device or if it's something you must return after the treatment is finished?

I hope Ross O' Neill was correct about his 2019 prediction for FDA approval. But how long will it take to get audiologists trained and devices sent over when that happens? I'm guessing I'm going to have to travel to another state, as I only see this being available in a few places at first. I...

Not too bad. Was expecting it to be a lot more. Have you noticed any changes in your T yet?

The United States. I am hoping they get Lenire here quickly. Didn't the CEO say he was aiming to get it FDA approved before 2019 ends? But does that mean the device will be available immediately after that or will we have to wait a while more while they get devices sent over and audiologists...

I have had loud tinnitus for about 3 years now. Just when I think I'm coping with it okay I either get a spike or I read something online that makes me a nervous wreck and subsequently makes my tinnitus worse. That's what happened tonight. I usually only come on here to look at treatment...

How much did the splint cost? Would insurance cover it? Would a mouth guard yield similar effects?

I assumed clicking was a normal occurrence with tinnitus sufferers but after reading some threads on here I've gathered that that is not the case. I should back up a bit... I've had tinnitus for about 3 years now. I have hereditary mild/moderate hearing loss in the low frequencies in both ears...

Not sure about a "pop" but sometimes my hearing in my left ear completely drops and I can hear a much louder ringing tone. It goes back to normal after a few seconds or minutes, with a slight spike in tinnitus. I thought this was normal with tinnitus patients?

What other devices? I'm only aware of the one Susan Shore is working on.

I'm not saying they're the cause but I'm just wondering if they can be exacerbating my tinnitus. I have two impacted wisdom teeth as well as TMJ issues. When I press my finger down near the front of my left ear and open and close my mouth, I can hear clicking going on there...also feels like...
