Using Stem Cells to Cure Hearing Loss?

I had such a sensitive hearing when I was a kid. Although music has always been my life, I could never go to concerts, it took me 8 years to get used to loud sound. I am now feeling like I am not really that able to hear the very very very high frequencies. Like, 21 000 hz, which I used to hear at 14 years old. I am now almost 19 and I now cannot anymore. I am starting to panick. It would be a heavenly blessing to find a cure to this. May God help all the scientists who are working on this! And oh, for the love of God, STOP listening music with headphones for over 2 hours straight and with loud volume, no matter how good that song is, especially as a teen!

[@ArizonabearDown910]

I AM ALL IN! I would like to devout my life on helping scientists find a cure for hearing loss. I am young adult struggling with mild to moderate hearing loss. I am living in a loud city where it is hard to connect with people my age. With having to wear earplugs everywhere to protect my ears is very stressful and embarrassing. I feel like my life is wasting away because a lot of people my age are going out to loud places. It is 2024 and it is time for scientists to recognize that the world is only going to get louder and louder. People with hearing loss are being left behind and hearing aids not that advancement where it can feel like a having a new set of ears.

[@janetgreen3553]

[@gvillarreal79]

Hi Doctor, I love it when you talk about future cures for hearing loss and wish you did it more often as it gives us hope, love u brother, wish we had more audiologists out here in los Angeles that are as good as you and and as attentive for the success of the client.

[@DrCliffAuD]

You've got some really good audiologists out there in the LA area. Check out HearingUp.com

[@bobbray4696]

Would be nice. We'll see. Hope it doesn't fizzle out like FX-322.

[@Jean69100]

Cure hearing loss for good? Im definely interested! It would be the most significant discovery in medical science !

[@barryalanlevine]

Thank you for not saying that the solution is probably about "10 years" off because everyone has been saying "10 years" for the past 20 years and I'm tired of hearing "just 10 more years." That said, I've got no doubt that the advent of AI will help to accelerate progress exponentially, as it should for most medical breakthroughs. So who knows...maybe "10 more years" may now be a realistic ballpark...though personally, I'm hoping for five.

[@kilgary]

When FX-322 failed, I got my CI. Happy with my decision. Streaming this to my processor. Voices are still a little too deep but at least I can understand all the words again.

[@markignaczak9709]

Great content as always , Dr.C. It’s been interesting to watch the hearing loss drug/treatment pipeline increase over the last few years. I’m confident that the potential market size will drive large and small pharma to a cure and / or treatment. Looking forward to that day. 🙌🏼👏🏼💪🏼

[@janetgreen3553]

Drug is better than .stem cell treatment coz it may lead to something else we have live suffering

[@mdavis05]

We need this, praying.

[@JRMSS4]

Thanks for the truth about curing hearing loss, will not keep my hopes up any longer😥

[@richard9827]

In about 2015 I had a hearing test analyzed by a retired professor at Stanford Medical Center Hearing Clinic. I asked him what the future looked like for hearing aids. He volunteered that stem cells were being studied and he was hopeful. Nine years later here we are. Cool 😊

[@skm203]

Absolutely interested in stem cell therapy!! Wow, hope they get this figured out!!!😊

[@Focus1094ST]

I could never fully hear and always thought that how it was for all. When I joined the military at 18 I learned I had hearing loss. Almost discharged me for it. It's been over a decade since being told and my condition has worsened along with my quality of life. It's frustrating saying what 10 times to finally hear everything. It's impossible to go to loud or crowded places. All the noise overloads my brain and I get angry. Saw a hearing doc couple years ago, they seemed to think it's genetic. So if this actually works sign me up, I've tried several hearing aids to no avail. I'm still "young" and knowing one day I'll wake up and not hear anything haunts me day to day.

[@Magroei]

Same,no hearing aids work for me and my hearing ability worsens each day,May God hear our cries .

[@janetgreen3553]

Yes it's tge only hope do yoga for hearing improvement every day watch ancient yoga for healing india

Great research has to be fueled by funds and people's voices!

[@professorjack2099]

A car tire exploded in my left ear when working at Toyota in my early 20s. Sucks, I constantly listen to things with my right ear vs left ear and it's depressing. At least my right ear still works.

[@severian17]

I loved this video, even though it does not give me a lot of hope for a stem cell cure any time soon. At least it describes how difficult this type of therapy currently is and why! It seems the other two approaches may have results sooner. Doc, I don't know if you have an answer for this: if your audiograms show a slight decrease in levels, however your speech discrimination is going down significantly, does that indicate a problem with your inner hair cells vs your outer? is this discernable? Also if a virus or autoimmune condition is affecting your hearing , is it likely some frequencies are affected more than others? or is it a generalized deficit? if this question is too technical/medical is there another area/site I can inquire about this? Thanks for all you do!

[@davidr1620]

If you have hearing loss or tinnitus, call to get an appointment right now to get a hearing aid! It won’t restore hearing completely or get rid of tinnitus completely, but it helps significantly with both. My tinnitus symptoms went down tremendously and most of the time I don’t even notice it. My Hearing isn’t what it was, but it’s probably a good 40% improvement. And they are pretty affordable now and will be well worth your money. You don’t have to get a super duper high end ones, but spend at least $1500 on a set (or $750 on a single one if you have one bad ear like me). Costco has great ones.

[@hookookadoo9483]

Having stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, I feel we are likely 7-10 years away from this being a reality, but it will happen. Five would be a best case scenario but possible. This video also seems to suggest re-generative medicines might be an easier approach than stem cells. Not to say that doesn’t have huge challenges too. Hear(pun) is the silver lining. I feel hearing aid tech will exponentially improve in the next 5 if not 3 years where I feel that hearing aid “hearing” will be super close to real hearing. That is my prediction. Peace out. Need to check out.

[@jesseworrell9853]

I am greatly interested

[@jesseworrell9853]

Also I participated in the FX-22 trial. I learned at the end of the study all I got was the placebo.

[@lauramaeda7214]

Although it would be wonderful if a cure was discovered,i do not think i would choose this as an option. I believe that i am currently doing well with hearing aids. I have also been treated in the past for BPPV and i have had tinnitus since 1982. The tinnitus is not always bothersome even though it is present 24/7. Even the possible risk of vertigo would definitely be the dealbreaker.

[@jedventura1]

Good luck getting stem cell researched approved.

[@jarekogarek1987]

Hey Cliff i have a question i tried to use your tutorial for pair my phone to Resound One and i have a trouble i can use my app but my aids didnt connect to bluetooth i mean i have two devices called User's Hearing but i cant connect with these no matter what and because and of this i cant to stream my sound from the phone in the meantime when i turn off my bluetooth my app stops working.

[@homeontherange733]

Correct me if i am wrong. As we wait for stem cell tech to repair hearing, if we choose cochlear implants, We can't later on go back when breakthrough like stem cells become available. Is this true?

[@janetgreen3553]

Stem cell treatment may turn into something else worse make u suffer Doctors can find a drug which can make the hair cells function normally

[@macstreamer8943]

In fact, with today's technology controlling the cells inside the cochlea so that they grow correctly, perhaps nanorobots in the future will be able to help with this. We need billions in a set of new research and technologies to try to achieve something in the future.

[@trs8696]

There are also uncertainties about degraded neural functioning downstream from the cochlea. At any rate, this technology was "at least a decade away" twenty years ago. Today it still seems to be "at least a decade away." It's something to be hopeful for, but it should in no way deter people from treating their hearing loss today, with today's technologies.

[@megaworldbuilder4369]

I’m cautiously optimistic there will be a cure some day in the distant future

[@Deconstruct-nh4yk]

If this does happen, I imagine the surgery required is going to be SO expensive.

[@DrCliffAuD]

Yes, but surgeries are often covered by insurance.

[@saifulhoda6963]

I am a hearing aid user since 1992. I watch and enjoy your youtube program very much. I came to know that Resound Nexia 9 and Jabra Enhance pro 20 are almost similar hearing aids. Will Aventa 3 work for Jabra? In other words can Aventa 3 be used to program Jabra hearing aids?

[@EarplugEmpire]

I would love to be in a clinical trial for this! I'm also passionate about hearing loss prevention and would love to collaborate if possible.

[@riccardoesse6994]

Hi, looking at the current situation realistically how many years will pass before a cure for hearing loss will be available?

[@michelleault6770]

Does anyone know if this helps for tinnitus?

[@jhonmarkgoite4424]

Well, tinnitus was kinda a result by the loss of your hair cells in cochlea so yeah

[@skm203]

Oh wait……commented before I watched the whole video! That’s nuts risks involved! Kind of nutty all together!!! Why’d you even do this video.

[@DrCliffAuD]

People need to know where the research currently is. Many people are waiting to treat their hearing loss until a cure exists, but it will be a long time from now.

[@BigJackCreeper]

Stem cells can not be controlled. We can not determine what the cell will grow into. The only known current use is bone marrow replacement therapy for cancer patients.

[@DrCliffAuD]

I don't understand your comment of destroying the music community.

[@DonAlderOfficial]

@@DrCliffAuD AI music is starting to replace a lot of artist music, perhaps not this generation but the next gen wont care who is making the music only the people making money from it which will be labels who are currently suing AI startups like Suno and Udio. Udio is a year away from really doing music and voice characters well. Laves are suing because they want their AI investments to take over and partner with spotify. So yes destroying the artist community that wants to be authentic and putting in years to develop their craft. I suppose 4-5 generations will swing back to live original music. Same with movie theatres. Less and less people. I like big screen but they may also disappear in the next 10--15 years

Since damage to the auditory nerve is rare, except for cases of acoustic neuromas, there is not as much urgency to solving nerve damage issues.
