Je weet dat dat scannen niet zo goed is he ;) maar ik weet dat het wel verschieten is. Mijn t fluctueert trouwens doorheen de dag dus ik heb die schommelingen ook leren negeren.

Maar ik maak me ook wat zorgen. Er zijn tekenen dat ik een scheur heb in mijn R trommelvlies die maar niet geneest. Maar voorlopig is het nog wachten tot 6 maart voor onderzoek.

Helpt medrol dan tegen t?

Having T sure is a tough going.

Sorry to hear that, hope it'll calm down in the next few days! :(

That's just rude.

One should rather get a congratulations when he/she have been inactive on the site for a year :D

It really is though, "congratulations, you've had tinnitus for at least a year now"!

I use masking when I feel my anxiety raise and my awareness of T raise, then I put on one of my favorite masking tracks and take "a break" from the T.

I've been trying to -never- hear it, so always have something masking.

Providing the volume of the pillow speaker is kept low there should be no problem. Preferably slightly lower than your tinnitus.

Wow. Interested to know how this goes. I'd ask specifically if he's aware of any negative effects from hypnotherapy. Other than that, it's a whole other thing.

Same. I am helpless in my life right now, dependent on luck. Just stuck in a number of circumstances.

I keep looking for reasons why it is/was worse, I had a friend do a clap a meter from me, might this be enough to give a (temp) spike?

Depends on the sensitivity of your ears and your friend's strength. I do not think that would give me a spike though. I find it strange you are wondering about a clap though, are there not other noises that are louder in your day to day life?

On my b-day my five guests were repetitively blasting the music and told me to "get over myself" when I tried to turn it down. So indeed, that is pretty amazing! I'm kind of jealous now. :P

Wow, that is incredibly sweet! And you have 35 friends who are awesome, too.

You have great friends (and a great girlfriend)!

I have had an event like this every day this week.

I do feel some fullness, don't know..

Well I am hoping getting one of these a day for the past 3 days is not permanent. I will report back later. Generally though I have felt a little better after sleep.

Know how you feel, cause I feel the same. I will forever beat myself up for causing this.

I ruined my life

Life is too short to beat yourself up. We all make mistakes. We are all human. Hindsighting just makes you angry.

Pain is a warning that what you're doing isn't good. Hope things stay this way....

True, but the pain might be located in the tubes, and not the innerear.

I agree. Perhaps leaving things as they are is the best thing to do.

Is medrol for anxiety?

It looks like medrol is like prednisone, for inflammation. I have a crunchy left jaw joint that could be inflamed...very loud noise atm.

DO NOT TAKE MEDROL UNLESS DR PRESCRIBED, READ ABOUT "STEROID SIDE EFFECTS"

JURGEN WHO GAVE IT TO YOU

Ran around today*

Running around like a chicken with its head cut off is normal with T. :)

You could ask him why your neck hurts like hell? And for a Xanax refill.

Ask what the best med is for Sensorineural hearing loss. I thought mine could be neck related but probably inner ear nerve damage.

My neck is better, my T is still louder though, kinda made a wrong move with my neck. Forgot to ask him..

do you work sitting?

No, not all the time. But the last week I did have lots of sitting behind my desk (didn't work).

Check the neck, what the heck?

*hugs*

You didn't and your anxiety is coming down.

I don't know if you can do damage with muffs + plugs tbh if you didn't stand next to the speakers. T can spike due to many causes.

That's my thoughts exactly, but I am not sure anymore. Last time I had such a peak (1 khz) was a week after my initial trauma, I have to say that this peak dissapeared after a few hours though it's still a bit higher.

Enjoy! And take care of your ears. :) Keep us updated!

Have fun!

I'll be super-safe, just hope I can enjoy myself without worying too much!

Now I wonder if the pain was there in real life, or just in my dream..
