    Desperate for Help with Severe Reactive Tinnitus and Life Impact

    Long story. I spent years working in noisy environments and was doing very well until 2022. One day, I was sitting with a colleague in a work van when he slammed the door with all his strength. I immediately felt a sharp pain in my ear. It was likely barotrauma. From that moment on, I became...

    Desperate for Help with Severe Reactive Tinnitus and Life Impact

    He also has multi-tone tinnitus. This condition takes everything from me. Combined with noxacusis, hyperacusis, tonic tensor tympani syndrome, and other ear problems, it becomes extremely difficult. My advice to you is to protect your ears, because you never know when things might get worse...

    Car Honked Close to Me: Tinnitus Spike and Hearing Loss Concerns

    Socializing with Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS) — Any Activity Suggestions?

    I hope everyone finds their own way to cope with ear problems. Today I decided not to protect my hearing at a house party for my daughter’s first birthday.
