Otonomy experimentation

Ho everybody, anyone of you Heard about a medication called oto313 (glacyclidine) to heal Tinnitus?

There is NO magic pill for tinnitus. Anyone who tries to sell you a pill is looking to make lots of money, Go to the British Tinnitus Association website and look for their pages on what does and does not help.

I'd say, if it is successful, it's more of a Magic Injection into the middle ear...🤔

OTO-313 is an intratympanic drug, and the progress from stage 2 to a stage 3 trial in the US is positive. This is significant as it involves many more people than the earlier stages and is often where the effectiveness of pharmaceutical products is demonstrated or found to be unclear, due to the larger pool of participants whose variables can support the effectiveness of a therapy or indicate that it is best suited to a sub-set of users.

The unilateral tinnitus caveat is something to be mindful about - like a lot of approaches to treating or managing tinnitus, it may work for a specific group. People with tinnitus present bilaterally are not currently in the scope of this trial. If good outcomes are identified for test participants with single-sided tinnitus, that's a step in a very positive direction.
