However, I feel that exposing myself to too much silence might be a factor that can actually contribute to exacerbating the reactivity when I introduce myself again to those harsh frequencies, so finding a balance is important

Hey Andrew, unfortunately I felt like I didn’t had escape when reactive tinnitus was constant. Going to a quieter place or exposing myself to non reactive frequencies was my solution.

Thanks for the advice @DeanD! If they offer me microsuction, I will avoid it at all costs. Not worth the risk. I can tolerate over the ear headphones, but no way that headphones can be compared with a loud microsuction gun inside the ears.

But at the same time, I’m not exactly sure if the the ocasional flare up I get might be due to the accumulated earwax, because the first time I heard ringing on my ears, I had excessive earwax.

So that’s the main reason why I’m kind of skeptical, since I myself believe that mine was caused due to earwax removal and I know that a substantial amount of people on this forum also got tinnitus due to earwax removal as well, regardless of the method used.

Thankfully after just two sessions of ear drops in the same day, I could hear properly. However, right now I feel in the borderline between being blocked again despite the fact I can hear well. Tinnitus is reactive but it has improved a lot, I would say 75% of the time it is not reactive and...

@DeanD So about three weeks ago, I woke up and could barely hear from my left ear. Turns out that I had excessive earwax. I believe it got blocked due to the position I was sleeping. Ocasional in-ear hearing protection overtime may have contributed to this as well.
