Thanks @Lane Will definitely try it out.

I agree. What u meant to say was that I wonder how my hearing will be affected as u age now that there has been some possible damage.

What caused the hearing loss is a question I baffle with daily. I cannot say exactly. Too many possibilities. I have not been exposed to loud noise and i don't work in a noisy area. Audiology tests are very strange. As mentioned in my earlier posts. They told me the OAE test is the most...

Hi Lucaas_79 Unfortunately it has not stopped. I am now convinced that I have ETD as well. My ears feel clogged most of the time...I saw an ENT who confirmed that my tubes are blocked and prescribed a nasal spray to use over 3 months. I think the medication may have also caused chronic...

Nothing Is Impossible With God!

Hi @John53546 I know this is an old post but it caught my attention. DPOAE and hearing are complex things. I met a lady who has no DPOAEs in all frequencies but normal hearing. No one really knows for sure what the results mean for your furure hearing. Im of the opinion that because everyones...

Hi guys. Can OAEs really improve over time? I was told they can. Also, can we really link OAEs to tinnitus or its just a theory?

My cousin also got tinnitus from a single gun shot. It completely cleared in 2.5 years. Hamg in there. He went through a really tough time but now its gone.

This is great news. Thank you for sharing. I read your intial post and noticed you were quite convinced it wont go but here you are today and its gone. Your story gives many people hope. I am curious though as to why you still lurking this forum? Did you by any chance share your success story in...

Hi Guys, So I've been wondering; How come some people with detectable hearing loss (on an Audiogram) don't have tinnitus? I also know of someone with normal hearing but no detectable OAE's and has no tinnitus. For those wondering what OAE's are - it's a test used to detect inner ear hair...

Think of it this way...What will happen to your eyes if you wear shades all the time to avoid any form of light? Your eyes will eventually become very sensitive to light. Your ears need stimulation but in moderation. Everything in moderation. So i think what they are saying is that Yes do...

Did the medication list T as a side effect? Medication can definitely trigger T-i know this because I've never been exposed to noise in my life or have any history of hearing loss and my T started while taking medication but I was also very stressed out and anxious days before the T started so...

I agree. Severe pain is harder to ignore compared to mild pain. I really pray and hope your T gets better and I believe it will. When my cousin had it very bad he would get up and walk out the house at night. They had to keep the doors locked so he doesn't get out. He was probably 12 years old...

Habituation is definitely the first step. For me habituation is the process when the subconscious mind has built so much resilience to the T that it can easily block it out the same way it's able to block out the sound of your fridge. Ever wondered why you sometimes don't hear your...

My colleague recently went for an ear operation to repair his eardrum and he doesn't have T. Even after the operation there's no T. His ear is also partly deaf but no T. He told me his eardrum got damaged from an infection which was not treated. My advice is stay positive nomatter what. Anything...
