Has anyone ever heard of stapedial tenotomy being done through a perforation in the eardrum, instead of cutting around/lifting the whole eardrum like a flap?

So you've had multiple tendons cut multiple times, and no side effects? No tinnitus, hearing loss, or hyperacusis? That's very reassuring if so...

Have you noticed any effect of DMSO on your tinnitus, positive or negative? And if so, what kind of tinnitus do you have? Thanks!

I have experience with this. I've described it below in relation to my experience with earplugs (copy/pasting out of laziness), but I've had the EXACT same thing with pushing my tragus... When you push in or take out earplugs that create a seal, you cause an increase in pressure (or...

When you push in or take out earplugs that create a seal, you cause an increase in pressure (or suction/decrease in pressure, respectively) on the eardrum/ossicles attached to the eardrum (which make up your "middle ear"). Basically this action causes very mild barotrauma. For most people this...

Where did you read about this suction damaging the bones in your ear? I'm very interested, thanks!

I've run into serious long term ear/tinnitus issues to do with earplug pressure/suction. See here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/worried-about-suction-from-silicone-earplugs-causing-damage.36315/page-2#post-521732 I've tested so, so, so many earplugs foam and otherwise to figure out an...

So I have a 1400 Hz-ish tinnitus that was caused, and flares back up/gets worse, when pressure is applied to my eardrum (like inserting earplugs or headphones not carefully, or slamming door while inside car, etc), so basically very mild barotrauma I guess. Flare ups usually last about 30 days...

Looks like the circle has shrunk/almost gone. Symptom still the same though... Can't go to ENT at the moment, but thanks for the help

Could it have anything to do with this circle on my eardrum?
