@__nico__, how are you doing after your MRI? Any spikes or worsened symptoms? I have been having some neuro issues lately and my ENT wants to do an MRI of the inner ear/head. With my hyperacusis and tinnitus, I am freaking out, but don’t think I have a lot of options. I am really concerned...

Hello all, I am supposed to be going in on Thursday to meet with a new audiologist for the first time. I suspect she will want to conduct an LDL test, among other testing, to discuss next steps. I am just wondering how is the LDL test measured? I know it is based on the discomfort of an...

Update-3/9 Hello all, This past Friday-Sunday my ears were feeling more normal than they had in a while (I almost didn't believe it). I had dinner with my in-laws on Saturday and dinner with my parents on Sunday. Both were low key affairs (at their houses), but more noise than I had been...

Update: Hello all, Thank you for taking time to respond. My situation is worse than it was when it first started. The pain that developed last week has persisted and has movements where certain noises cause it to be unmanageable. I have pain most of the day and have noticed that I am...

Today I went in for my weekly acupuncture appointment and the room had an older fan running in it. I have been doing better as of late with fan noises and didn't think much of it. So the appointment starts and I get needled and am lying there... suddenly my left ear slowly starts to hurt, like...

That’s a victory in some way. Good for you. I completely understand what you’re saying. It’s like I can tell myself that they don’t sound the same, but my brain hears the same kind of high pitch distorted pitch. I have noticed though that refrigerators used to really set me off, and either I’m...

Update: I saw an ENT and Audiologist last Thursday (6 days ago). Both listened and took their time, didn’t feel rushed. Hearing exam came back normal, no hearing loss. ENT was perplexed by my symptoms, but after a look at my sinuses, put me on a 10 day course of Amoxicillin. He thought my...

I agree. I feel like it made it worse for sure. How are you doing? Have you seen any improvements with either?

@Matchbox, thanks for responding. I have heard this from a couple of people, but haven’t seen where it comes from. What makes you say that? Just curious as to the source/reasoning behind this. I am hoping you are right.

@__nico__ Did things get better with time after being on the steroid pack? Did time lessen your symptoms? If not, did you do sound therapy? I am about a week off the meds, while I am still suffering from sensitivity to running water, fans, etc. It seems less volatile than before. I still feel...

@Gerard M @Gordon Steinberg @Orions Pain I have just recently started to go through something that sounds very similar. I started with tinnitus a couple weeks back and now I am getting weird sound distortions at some high frequencies. I first noticed it in the high pitched noise coming from...

Hello all, I (30m 6/4' 215lb) have been reading through various posts over the past several days and I am looking for some guidance/support. About three weeks ago, I got a standard sinus/ear infection that included some pain in the ears, but had largely resolved itself within a few days...
