Thank you for making me aware of this. I wasn't really walked through the diagnostics...The tympanogram showed nothing unusual, and my MD checked my ears and throat. Not sure if that would have ruled it out? One site said that otosclerosis would typically show worsening hearing loss between the...

That's interesting about the adjustment... I wonder how unreliable the test is then. I forgot to mention another possible cause is the amount of OTC painkillers I was taking recently; it had never been a side effect before but I was taking them a little more often than usual. They say the...

I've regularly listened to music on headphones and in the car a lot, at lower levels in recent years but maybe averaging at the 70% volume range, not super loud but not too safe either. And I've always gone to loud shows if not very often, and didn't really go for the loudest areas in the venue...

I guess this thread isn't as interesting as the others? Any input would be nice. I've searched for answers to my specific questions on this site and elsewhere without much luck. The shorter version: 1) Is it more crucial to avoid noise in the early days of T than later on, if I probably have...

I posted several days ago about my occasional T -- it seems to be non-stop now. I went to a doctor and got referred for a hearing test and was told my hearing was fine except for a noticeable dip that was still in the normal range. Though they didn't test me at the higher frequencies so I'm...

This is an old thread but I was hoping you could tell me what your tinnitus sounds like? I've been to two therapists (for my chronic joint pain) who think I have a moderate case of TOS, and just recently developed tinnitus. I doubt for myself it's necessarily related because supposedly TOS...

I have experienced temporary tinnitus (the high whirring/ringing) several times recently, probably never for longer than a couple hours, but the fact that it happened multiple times within a week or two definitely has me concerned that it will continue to develop into a chronic problem. I know...
