Hello everyone. I was doing volunteer work at the Espresso House and the barista next to me used her coffee knocker (i.e. this portafilter) to knock loudly on the bar when she was making coffee for someone. You can see an example in the 2 videos, they are from a famous YouTuber who works in...

My doctor told me, that overprotection isn't a good thing. He also added, that sometimes, a little bit loud voices would be "healthy".

Yes it did, but it took me over 3 month to recover from this shock. I strongly warn everyone here with Hyperacusis to avoid these tests. They're not really revealing and if the audiometry doens't show something special, there's absolutely no need of performing a Tympanometry test. The only...

It stars with 40 db, but it goes up to 90 - 110 db. Extremely inappropiarte noise levels, especially for people suffering from T or H. (And even for normal people, it is too loud). Usually many doctors perform some kinda "Tympanometry in disguise" on you. They call it "Impendance Test", but what...

Thanks for reassuring me, Daniel Lion. Yeah, I feel a little better today. Yesterday was terrible. My ear felt like it came from an rock concert, although it was just a small pizzeria at the corner. Yeah, Adventure Time is a great show to watch as a kid and as an adult. It really helped me...

It's still a common mistake, that the tests, performed by the ENT nurses won't hurt you. The most popular in this community board is the Tympanometry test. They perform it on you, without saying anything special ("Just relax. Small children are doing this everyday"). Then they put some...

Yesterday was my birthday and although I had lot of work today, my boyfriend (*) persuaded me to take an evenig off and go to a small restaurant. It was a very small pizzeria with round about 15 - 20 people sitting there, every one talking to each other. Right after I entered the room, I...

Thank you for making me hope. Unfortunately, I found out, that since this day, when I close my right ear, I cannot hear my own voice anymore. Usually I can hear my voice clearly, when I close my ears. But now I don't feel any vibrations in my ear, neither my own voice. Disconcertingly only my...

Thank you for your replies, MSF, Juan, Candy and Bill, It's not really a spike, it's more like everything feels dull and I can't hear on my right ear anymore. Somehow only the right ear seems affected, I don't know why. When I hold my right ear closed, I even hear my own voice quieter than...

He was definitely using loudspeakers. Loud whistling can be very painful for ears, if someone does it normaly. But with loudspeakers it was 10000 times louder. The whole audience was wincing for a moment. I'm asking myself why an university Professor uses such methods like loud-whistling for...

Usually I avoid going to university lectures, because the microphone is always too loud for me and causes pain in my ear. But today was the last lecture before the final exam and the Professor announced that he would go through important stuff for the exam today and that today's lecture wouldn't...

Thank you for your replies, Contrast and Bill Bauer. The spike isn't what worries me the most. It is, that I can't "feel" my right ear anymore. Whem I'm yawning or shawolling, I just feel it on my left ear anymore. Also, if I hear loud or squeaky noises, only my left ear tries to registrate it...

Greetings everyone, On Thursday 16 May 2019, at 1 PM I was waiting in front of my lecture hall, where suddenly, a garbage man was emptying out a trash bin. I was in a conversation, with another student, so I didn't see it coming. The trash bin was like a big drawer. You can see it in the...

The text could be literally written by me. Just replace VEMP with acoustic reflex test and tympanomentry and change the date to 22/11/2018. Once you have hearing loss, you start to appreciate the things, you didn't before. Having full hearing was never a topic to me, because it was a...
