    Terrifying Fleeting Deafness for Hours: Is It Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

    Oh, we sound very similar in so many ways! Yeah, I believe so too. What I find weird is the rapid thumping—it sometimes feels like it gets “stuck” and becomes super rapid, while other times it’s a slow rhythm. Occasionally, it even flits rapidly between both ears. It seems like it can’t thump...

    Terrifying Fleeting Deafness for Hours: Is It Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

    Ah, I’m exactly the same as you. I find it maddening to deal with my thumping episodes, which can last for hours or even days. These episodes are usually triggered by burps, hiccups, or yawns, but they can also be set off by something as simple as moving my neck or turning over in bed. I also...

    Terrifying Fleeting Deafness for Hours: Is It Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

    I think my hearing loss is slowly worsening on one side, but nothing too drastic. However, it can take several days for the muffled hearing and loud reactive tinnitus to settle whenever it happens. Oh, and I also have MEM and TTTS (along with many other ear issues). It’s very difficult dealing...

    Terrifying Fleeting Deafness for Hours: Is It Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

    Heya! Sometimes, the muffled hearing, louder tinnitus, and reactivity to all noises can last for days, unfortunately. However, so far, it has always returned to “normal,” even if it takes a while. I say “normal” because I have a lot of ongoing ear issues, but these strange, random, prolonged...

    New Tinnitus Tone While Sleeping? Fleeting Tinnitus (SBUTT) Turned Into Something More Persistent?

    Heya, I’m really sorry I can’t provide any helpful answers, but I experience the same thing quite often. It feels like a SBUTT or a muffled hearing episode, but instead of going away quickly, it lasts for hours or even days. The muffled hearing and spike can persist, and it sometimes gets super...

    Terrifying Fleeting Deafness for Hours: Is It Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

    Hey, Sorry I can’t be of much help, but I do experience this quite often. I have a lot of ear issues, and I get these “fleeting” or SBUTT episodes with the muffled or deaf sensation very frequently. They often last for hours or even days, and sometimes they become super reactive on top of that...

    Heya, sorry only just seen this. Actually about to start Carbamazepine to see if it helps :)

    Is a Sudden Increase in Transient Ear Noise Cause for Concern?

    Ah, I get SBUTTs quite a lot! (I do have tons of other ear issues - MEM/TTTS, many tinnitus tones - high pitch variants, crickets chirping, deep revving/humming I can hear and feel & pulsatile tinnitus, slight hearing loss, patulous Eustachian tubes, and sinus issues / ETD at the same time...

    It’s very weird! I get quite a few everyday, sometimes they don’t go away quickly and can stick around all day, alongside muffled hearing, and then it gets even louder and reactive to all sounds too. Bloody nightmare on top of all my other ear issues. Sorry you have this. It wouldn’t bother me...

    Can’t figure out why these fleeting/sbutt episodes are happening more frequently on top of everything else. Very annoying.

    For Those with Middle Ear Myoclonus...

    I’m not sure I’m best to answer this. I have had MEM & TTTS episodes for about 10 years now, but I have a whole host of ear issues on top of that, and have had ear issues my whole life. In these 10 years I have had periods of remission from the thumping spasms (the sort from...

    Loud Tone for a Few Seconds — Fleeting / Transient Spontaneous Tinnitus

    I can’t really give any help sadly, but I’m in the same boat! I get many fleeting episodes, and sometimes they are not so fleeting and stick around for hours on end, and as well as having the muffled hearing/louder tinnitus from it, it also gets reactive and distorted often too and it’s quite...

    Heya! That’s no worries at all! I’m so sorry you’re getting this also :( I still have it yeah, have had it for a long time now, it doesn’t stop when I plug my ears, only temporarily if I hum myself or if I’m in a car with the engine running the feeling of that kind of masks it but otherwise it’s...

    Daily Tinnitus Spikes and Reacting with High-Pitch Squeal to Talking, Flushing Toilet, Tap Running

    Sorry for the mega late reply. I must have missed the notification for this! It ended up going back to normal for a while (just all my regular sounds and other ear issues and many daily fleeting episodes remaining) but I have had this same intense reactive spike / distortion on top of a regular...
