Tinnitus Research at University of Laval - Quebec

Erlend, I don't think anybody here is that sick minded as to come on here and pretend to be Guitton.
Also a researcher would be able to answer technical questions.

 

I can contact him as i have already corresponded with him.

Could you guys list a few questions that i can send ?

 

Please ask him what prothesis means and if the new drug is meant to work for acute and chronic T !!!!

 

Could you try to sneak in some stem cell questions?
1. Do you think that IV injections with human cord blood stem cells have a chance to repair damages on the human cochlea?
2. Would there be a way to optimize the chances in this kind of treatment ie. different approaches, supporting medicine, enzymes etc.?
3. Do you think a treatment of the above kind could have a positiv impact on tinnitus?

 

Thanks, i've contacted him to ask if he's willing to answer a few "non confidential" questions. I'll keep you posted.

 

Too bad, Dr Guitton declined our invitation to answer a few questions.

 

...Did he give you a reason?

 

Yes, he told me discussing on forums as too time consuming and he prefers to do research instead. From a precedent experience, it went a bit far and wasn't positive in the end.

 

thanks anyways for contacting him. I guess I already knew that he wouldn't answer to our questions...

 

Oh well, as long as we see results in the end.

 

Too bad lets find others,what about those from Harvard.one lady had t.

 

Any recent news on this? Out of all of the possible "treatments/cures," this actually seems very promising.

 

I agree with Jake. This is one (next to AM101) of the few threatments/'cures' promising some hope!

Since, today (08.11.2013) my hope for the Mutebutton diminished a lot due to the latest posts!

 

How could you build hope on something so absurd?

 

whatever dude when am101 turns out to work for chronic sufferers we're all gonna be ok

 

Forgive me or call my stupid for being in my early stage of T and still hope for a miracle device or cure soon!
Call it wishful thinking but without hope everything will fade (except T) ... isn't?

 

Unfortunately i couldn't find any positive report from anyone who was included in the am-101 trial neither, so i don't believe this will be a breakthrough some of the patients even said that it made their Tinnitus temporarily worse..

 

The only one i've seen said that she got tomporarily worse, so she quit, but then it went almost completely away.

Oh, and another one who says he got pretty much cured as well. Those are the only two i've seen.

Where did you find am101 participants?

 

In two German forums, I read of 3 people and none of them is cured. Can you give me the link to the reports you read please?

 

If you are fishing for testimonies of people having tried AM-101 i have and old one from 2009 in French: Forum de France Acouphènes :: Voir le sujet - AM-101 : un retour d'expérience (bon courage pour tout lire)

Shortly he said his tinnitus diminished: he said he felt it replaced an "ear" tinnitus by a more soft "headish" tinnitus if i dare say so.

Google translate works rather well with this text. Also, this drug targets the cochlear nerve if i recall well so long term tinnituses or those with a brain/other nerve than the cochlear nerve origin should not be concerned.

 

very nice, thanks.

Quelques commentaires

J'ai rappelé ici les conditions draconiennes d'admission dans l'étude, et l'on a assez glosé sur le forum sur le fait que le médicament soit susceptible de marcher sur les acouphènes anciens. Le médecin qui m'a suivi me disait qu'il n'en savait rien, et qu'il fallait des études plus poussées pour le savoir. J'ai quand même l'impression (et les conditions plaident en ma faveur) que le médicament tire son plein effet de deux choses"


I think this is a comment on whether it will work for chronic T. Can someone translate?

The reason I ask is that the google translation of this part (which really is most relevant for this forum!) makes no sense, hehe.

 

It says that the doctor who overlooked the trial said that he didn't know if am-101 might be working for long-term Tinnitus and that further studies would be necessary to find out.
I marked the sentence for you..

 

His work does not involve either of the Auris Medical drugs - AM-101 or AM-111. Auris Medical is in clinical trials with those drugs on humans. Also having personally dealt with Auris Medical during my research days, I can tell you that this is an unlikely scenario.
