A cure for hearing loss? They're working on it!
FX-322 helps renew only the cochlea's very high-frequency hair cells. Because FX-345 is designed to penetrate much deeper into the cochlea, it may stimulate progenitor cells at much lower frequency ranges. As exciting as this all sounds, we'll have to wait for the results of clinical trials to discover if these medications are effective in restoring hair cell function and, in turn, enhancing hearing.
