Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

The concern is that if one has perfect hearing on an audiogram but has profound losses in the higher ranges, where their tinnitus frequency resides, then hearing cell restoration may not work and tinnitus may not theoretically be alleviated.

 

Why wouldn't this work on high frequency hearing cells? Because it's profound?

 

Now I'm concerned. I mostly have high frequency damage.

 

Yes that would be the issue. It would mean profound hair cell damage would also presume non-regeneratable progenitor cells too. I don't know if that is true of course, I'm just speculating from Frequency's admission that profound hearing loss may not be recoverable with FX-322.

 

Hopefully though it could at least regenerate enough to eliminate tinnitus.

 

I have been watching this thread and others, but can’t always keep up with it. I have heard some on the forum claiming that a hearing loss cure (aka, one that brings back most of someone lost hearing) could be ready in 5 years or less. Is this true?

I had a massive issue happen recently and could really use some hope and very stressed right now.

 

Only if the community is vocal will Frequency Therapeutics have a higher chance of success.

If you care more about normie things then we'll be here another 15-20 years riding the carousel of palliative medicine.

I myself have no interest in hair cell regeneration, as I have very little hearing loss on the tonal audiogram and my hearing loss is nerve related, not hair cell death but still I understand it's needed for millions.

 

Yes, it's true. 'Cautious optimism' is the byword.

 

@SashaG

My hearing damage was caused from a mixture of NSAID overuse and loud noise from a guitar amp.

 

Yes, it is very possible. The technology is viable and restoring hearing will alleviate or eliminate tinnitus. There is already an effective treatment being performed by a pioneering doctor in Seoul South Korea and I know this because I have gotten it. For those that don't trust him there are other companies going through clinical trials right now with drugs that will achieve the same results.

 

Great to hear that! I hope that many more will be able to profit from these treatments. I often wonder where we could be today, if we wouldnt think too much about "what is right and what is wrong" if we talk about maniplulating cells and organ material.

I hope your recovery will go on!

 

Would you say you are 80-90% back to normal? I had a large bowl of mongolian food yesterday (I should have known better) and my head is hissing something fierce again. Have you tested your ears out recently with salty or spicy food? It seems damaged inner ears act up with salt and MSG for quite a few people with tinnitus.

 

It's kinda hard to put a percentage on it. Because it switches on and off now up to 3 times a day. When it's off it's like 90-95% gone and I have to plug my ear to hear it at all. I only slept like 6 hours last night so its here today, but only in my left ear and it's very low.

I can't tell if any food affects it. I'm thinking no.

 

Sleep definitely does. Get 8 hours as much as possible.

The exact purpose of the support cells is unknown, the effects of their removal or even modification are as of yet unknown. Salient questions you ask.

A Cure for Deafness? Frequency Therapeutics...

Do we have any reason to believe that this may help hyperacusis too ?

 

They were put there so that us losers with tinnitus can have our lives back.

 

If hyperacusis is caused from disruptions in auditory input and restoring hearing fixes that then yes.

 

Did prp improve your h?

 

My HA has improved, however, it would be dishonest to claim it was a result of my treatment for a fact.

 

Cool, glad it's improved... why for a fact? What's your theory.

 

Because there is certainly a chance I recovered spontaneously. Do I think that's the case? No. But the chance is still there and I would be dishonest not to acknowledge that.

 

Is it a specific NSAID or just NSAID in general?

 

Exactly which nerves, if I may ask?

 

Well i was taking a brand called BC Powder.

 

Just did a quick Google search. It seems to contain Aspirin. I wonder if that's not good for our hearing
