For fun I grabbed 100 shares of this company.
Maybe I should sue Ozzy Osbourne!......................
I’ll have to see how it does on the market, can’t really hear how it does !!
I got my hearing aids for meetings and sunday school. I retired so I no longer need them for meetings. But I try to wear them now whenever I’m around people. Also, even when wearing them now my wife will ask me sometimes if I have them in. She’s disappointed when I say “yes”.
Fortunately they are bluetooth compatible and I use software in my phone to turn them up or down, change the area of sensitivity, and increase or decrease treble. It helps.
I do what the VA says - I deal with it.
I have several relatives with diminished hearing, so this news makes me happy. I’ll have to share this story with them.
Yes, this is years away, but not a lifetime away. But, they already have tested on people, and are starting another clinical trial this year. If all goes well in the trial, maybe 5 years out? The most concerning bit is that they did a trial without positive results, which might mean this treatment is only marginally effective, or effective in some people.
The company has dosed more than 200 patients to date and has seen clinically meaningful improvements in speech perception in three separate clinical studies. Another study failed to show improvements in hearing compared to the placebo group, but the company attributes that result to flaws in the design of the trial.
Now Frequency is recruiting for a 124-person trial from which preliminary results should be available early next year."
“..Let us hope and pray the FDA puts it on the fast track like they did with the vaxxes....”
ROTFFLMFAO!!! FD who????? They’re bout as useful as teats on a boar hog. They’re nothing but a weaponized political entity these days.
Mine is like cicadas and tree frogs.
Blood pressure enhances it as well.
Any idea how I can sign up for the clinical trial?
I remember back in the late 1980s getting all excited about minoxidil.
What gift that would be!
Me too!
As long as it won’t increase my tinnitus. Already overbearing....
It seems like a cell therapy, not a gene therapy, so I’ll look into it. No green frog and tomato gene splicing for me!
IMPORTANT info left out — Recent clinical trials showed no major difference between this drug and a placebo, and the stock price for the company tanked. So, for now, the research continues.
Two weeks after you are dead.
That's how I figure it for me. Just bought a new phone from CLARITY which is supposed to help those with hearing loss - not impressed, nor surprised that I am not impressed.

Coincidentally, I had just done the same thing a few minutes ago. At $1.36 I couldn’t pass it up - let it ride.
“Mine is like cicadas and tree frogs.”
Mine is/was like cicadas and digger wasps after a probable short bout with Omni Crud earlier this year.
No cicadas in N. California, and no digger wasps that I know off.
My wife and visiting family and friends never heard them. So I quit asking if they heard them.
They disappeared or my hearing changed and haven’t heard them for a couple of weeks.
bookmark for a better future perhaps.
