Wish you well buddy

How do you get a sinus scan? I've had sinus congestion for years, but when I mentioned it to my ENT doc, he just said "oh yes lots of people have that" and changed the subject.

@Mister Muso Hm, go to another ENT/GP that is more concerned about your condition ? My GP just told me to get a sinus scan. I didn't have to ask!

Any treatment options?

Sorry to hear that man, hope you feel better soon!

Did dysacusis subside again I hope?

Oops : Dysacusis is back, a phone tone above shower etc... Yay!

Hi, what told your dentist about numb jaw muscles, i think, that i have same issue and Im afraid to do not get trigeminal neuralgia

@Striveon Nop !

@Striveon I first stopped wearing protection at home.I use to not be able to stand dishes being put on counter and I always thought the TV was too loud even when on very low volumes.Someone putting a spoon in the sink was the WORSE.I stopped wearing ear muffs at home now,but the first few days I made sure to put them back on if something caused pain or discomfort.Now I can tolerate everyday house noises very well.

@Striveon *Continued*

Took about a week or so for me to get to that point,I think,in my case,that I made my noise sensitity worse due to protecting too much.We are all different so listen to your body/ears and heed their warnings if something doesn't feel right.

As for how my story started. Years of drumming followed by playing electric guitar using headphones. Happened as soon as I took off the headphones.

Hi ! Sorry for the late answer. I did not see your question.
Nop, I do not suffer from dyacusis anymore. It usually come back when I experiment a sudden loud noise (not dangerous) close to my ear and it last for maybe a week.
Ignore it, It will disappear with time!
Maybe your dysacusis is gone now ? I hope so !

Wonderful to hear yours went away. I've had mine for 2 months and I hate it so much. Also came with hyperacusis, which also has not improved. Also it has made my T run absolutely wild where before it was a 2/10 and did not bother me.

Thats the ear cleaning itself out.

Are you advising people to ignore the risk of getting a new acoustic trauma? Would you advise a diabetes sufferer, whose passion is chocolate, to eat a lot of chocolate?

It's going to be louder for a little while now that you're off. This will settle down in a week or two in my experience

What are you taking antibiotics for if I may ask?

@Mathieulh @TheDanishGirl I dont know much, He said "Your eardrum is inflamed, take this this and this, bye."He didnt explain, So I just follow the treatment, Prednisolone and antibiotic. No side effect. But the eardrop hurt my ear canal for a couple hours.

Sorry about that. Hope you feel better soon and have no trouble with the antibiotics in terms of the tinnitus :) I have personally been lucky to never have needed antibiotics.......I fear them greatly now, and hope I will never have to take them.

Fullness in ear, pain, Eustachian tube dysfonction. I dont know if it will help my T, but at least my ears wont hurt me anymore !

Related or unrelated to your T, do you know?

Symptoms look similar to mine, keep us posted!

Whatcha playing?

I get the same....although no more than a minute.

Likewise, shower is literally the only thing that masks my tinnitus.

Sooo jealous. I haven't heard it yet. Been close once or twice but not yet. The ear fullness/dullness is most bothersome currently

I’m happy for you! Keep your positive spirit up.

that's how you get misguided. Success stories can be regretted after made.

Look for physiotherapists specialized in tinnitus. They might not know a lot about T, but they do understand it more than doctors if the cause is physical. As in jaw, neck, tension, muscle related stuff

With respect Blodorn, you haven't listened to acted upon any of the advice that I have given you. I really don't know why I bother as it's a complete waste of time. If you are not careful, you are going to make your tinnitus much worse like someone else in this forum that didn't listen.

Leave your tinnitus alone and stop monitoring every little change, this is quite normal. If you continue this behaviour and wanting to seek treatment you are likely to make things a lot worse, then you'll really have something to complain about. Leave the tinnitus alone!

The less you focus on the tinnitus the better you will feel. Don't try to use pink noise or any type of sound to mask or kill the tinnitus. You have to give it time, at least 12 to 18 months to recover. The more you concern yourself and worry over the tinnitus, the longer the habituation process will take.

Good, I hope you got some rest :)
I tried to take a nap today. It was impossible.
