Poll: Is Your Tinnitus Caused by Noise?

[Arseny]

The observation of a pulsatile character of tinnitus does not really need attention either.

Could you please explain what do you mean by that?

I have a pulsatile tinnitus in my left ear (it's synced with my heartbeat) and in general my tinnitus started from there and then spread further. I suspect the progression was caused by either antibiotics or regular noise exposure to already damaged ears. (from what I don't know and I'm not sure if they are damaged at all)

im more concerned on how difficult it will be to repair functional hair cells/synapses. i'm extremely skeptical at this daunting task, so many bio-logical complicaitons exist when it comes to regenerative medicine, repairing cochlear hair cells and ribbon synapses, and you seem to consider it a walk in the park. That is why ed209 called you out mostly because we don't know what the hell is going to happen by December, let alone the shit that is going to do down in stage 2 or 3 trials.

By stage 2 of the trial that is when serious questions are going to be asked and answered such as effects on tinnitus and noxacusis, but right now we do not have sufficient information about Frequency Therapeutics trial and speculation is just a waste of time.

once again I really really hope this trial succeeds and the FDA does super fast track it, but their is a lot at stake and this is how science works.

no offense to your optimism, and I hope all is well with you.

just because the questions aren't being asked doesn't mean it isn't happening. think about it.

if the questions aren't being asked, ask them.

"hey did your tinnitus go away after you got fx322?"
yes/no.

it's that simple.

also the endpoint is restoring hearing, which you agree, should reduce tinnitus.

guess what Mr. Man? they already showed it restored hearing in mice.

Yes it was caused by ipod and concert, it was worsened by ear irrigation (Caloric Test) and CVEMP. Which resulted in inner hair cell damage.

noise induced tinnitus guarantees hearing loss.

There are a lot of people without hearing loss and noise induced tinnitus.
And for sure a lot more people without tinnitus and noise induced hearing loss.

We should be comfortable with the fact that not all tinnitus patients have hearing loss.

Hearing loss is only one of all possible causes of tinnitus, and experts dispute whether this working hypothesis is relevant for 80% or only 20% of all patients.

The causal relationship between acoustic trauma and damage to the inner ear has been proven without question. It is also known that many sound trauma patients develop tinnitus.

Overall, however, the significance of damage to the inner ear and tinnitus is completely unproven. Perhaps inner ear damage is only relevant for a small subgroup of all tinnitus patients. The size of this subgroup is unknown.

Nope, been ages I was in a loud place. Came from extreme stress. Horrible stress day after day during a certain period of time.
