Thank you for the reply, @Suzerman. I have actually been lead to believe the same thing since this post. My condition has actually worsened since the onset to where even my wife's normal speaking voice and the rattling of a paper bag cause me discomfort and the "clogged" feeling. It took a nose...

Hello, All. I just want to thank everyone for the support shown by this forum. Truly glad that I can come on here and be among others that are suffering just the same, although I wish none of us had to deal with this. I really need a reason to keep going. Every time that I think I've struck...

Hello, everyone. I've been experiencing mild hyperacusis for two months now and had made good progress last week. I was almost back to normal, when I got in the car and found that the volume was turned waaaay up on a loud song for some reason. I was hit with about 85-90 dB for about half a...

Thank you everyone for your kind words. This has all made me feel bipolar. One moment, I'm crying hysterically, the next I'm throwing things in rage, then i feel better and optimistic. Thankfully my wife got me into the better and optimistic mood for the rest of the day. I don't want to speak...

Hello, all. I feel like I'm about to completely lose it. I've already had multiple breakdowns a day for the past week and don't know how much more I can take. I've had tinnitus since August from a loud movie that started in one ear. I got used to it until a sneeze from a co-worker made my...

I started out with one tone in my left ear that sounded like the back of an old TV. About a week later, an intermittent ringing sound started up in the left ear. It started to fade, then one of my co-workers let of a loud sneeze right next to me and it came back even worse. I took a muscle...

Hey, I know that this is an old post, but I feel like I'm having the same issue. I took Flexeril earlier this week and woke up with both ears feeling extremely clogged with dull hearing. I've got another layer of more annoying ringing as a result. Been hard to sleep since. :( Did yours ever get...

Just to add, it seems like I got another louder ringing in both ears two days after taking this that hasn't went away. Someone please help. :( Feeling suicidal again after getting used to it before.

Hey, everyone! I was wanting to see if anyone has had this issue with taking Cyclobenzaprine. I took a 5 mg dose Tuesday evening before bed. The next morning, I woke up with extreme ear fullness in both ears, almost like I had cotton stuck in them. The feeling went away as the medicine wore...

Hey, Michael. I just want to say that I appreciate your positivity and love reading your posts. I'm one of the unfortunate people that developed phonophobia and hyperacusis after first getting tinnitus, which I mostly attribute to posts that made me fear anything remotely loud. It got so bad...

Hello, All! I wanted to see if anyone could help me diagnose exactly what's going on with my right ear. About 6 weeks ago, I had a co-worker sneeze very loudly within about a meter of my right ear (he sits directly beside me). This was after an acoustic trauma to my left ear 2 weeks prior. At...

I know this is a little old, but I was prescribed Prednisone 2 days after my acoustic trauma. Started taking it on the morning of day 3 (about 60 hours after the initial trauma). The tinnitus appeared two days into the initial dose. I am unsure if the tinnitus was brought on by the Prednisone...

Hello, Jan64. Yes, I had a hearing test after both exposures at my ENT. Both were within the range that showed no detectable hearing loss, but I believe that I have with high-frequency or hidden hearing loss. Since my right ear trauma was within the 6 week period, that is what led me to try...

Just wanted to share my experience with HBOT. I found a clinic in the Northeast USA that was able to get me in quickly and for relatively cheap. My T is in both ears, the left from a noise exposure on 8/26, the right from a noise exposure on 9/19. My right ear also has some fullness and a little...

Hello, Everyone! Just wanted to say, I appreciate all of the support that this forum provides! I was stopping in with a quick question about habituation. My T stared a little over 5 weeks ago after what I believe was an acoustic trauma followed by extreme stress brought on by Prednisone. About...
