Do You Get What I Get? Intolerable Pressure...

Hi all

Anyone get this.

I have my hearing aids and they take the edge off my T.

I have the Acoustic CR neuromodulation in my ears for 6 hrs a day.(has not helped just use it as a masker)

Now,when I have just my ears "naked " to the world with nothing In them or no noise in the surroundings ,my ears start to build up an intollerable pressure and the T gets louder. Nowthe louder could be perception only but this pressure build up Isnt.

Any of you fellow members get this ? Its horrible, only word for it.
Or any Ideas whats going on

Keep fightin ,Pete

 

Hi Pete, how long has that been going on?

 

Hi Karen,Hi Louise. Basically I had habituated for 20+ years then 2 years ago i had a cattarh infection which got Into my ears ,I woke up one morning at about 1:30am with my T noise at 10/10 (im not kidding) and a pressure In my ears that was so bad I couldnt lie down.Had heard about T and panic attacks never had one till that night.I got up and paced around all night ,next 2 days and nights I cannot begin to tell you It was a nightmare In my head.Those next two nights spent walking the streets trying to get away from my head if you know what Imean.

Fell into the GPs that morning ,she said I had an ear infection. 8 weeks later and 4 lots of antibiotics cleared it and ive been left with T which Is a lot louder than it was before this episode and ears which feel ruined ,lots of pressure, again a lot calmer than the "episode" but not good .Frustatingly as probably for all of us ive had all the tests ,E tube pressure test and all sorts ,all they can find Is "sleight to moderate" high freq loss.

After this episodehade made things worse i saw privately an Ear dr who said hearing aids would take the edge off my T ,and he was proved right ,it also strangely helps the pressure as I said. Take them off and its like the pressure slowly builds because my ears are straining to hear. But strangely If the ears can lock onto noise like TV then the pressure eases as well ,very odd.

Thanks for listening ,Pete

 

I have had this but a milder form. I've had a feeling of my ears 'turning themselves inside out' to try to hear something if Im in silence (which I never am now).
It also used to feel like my head was going to explode.

Wont it be the Tensor Tympani at play?

 

Hiya Markku ,yes buddy Ive got you now as well.

..and like you when im on these forums ,I think of that guy. A lot of people on that Forum thought he had psychiatric issues. Im 70/30 that he In fact was suffering horrendously with T and that infact was his only Issue.
He ,If you recall went to belgium and saw Dr De Ridder (name?) and got no joy.

Markku ,I often wonder if he took a certain course of action If you get my meaning.

Great Forum Markku ,well done. That RNID forum was great ,then they shut It for acouple of weeks to open up In a new format and sadly lost a lot of members ,why I couldnt understand.

 

Wowwee youve got some memory ,It is indeed me I am a London Taxidriver,and thanks for those kind words buddy.

Much respect Markku.
The fight goes on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
