        I'm just so sorry. I have never had much connection to fireworks, but now I'm so scared of them. New Year's Eve was a horror. Raging tinnitus, anxiety, double protection. I'm just trying to mentally prepare myself for our national holiday when there will be even bigger fireworks.

      Stupid. Freaking. Migraines. I'm glad that I had that two day break from the constant battery, but I think I'd give my leg to have it again

      My migraines technically haven’t stopped the whole time I’ve been pain free, but the H is coming back as the M intensifies.

      I read some of your posts and I am so happy for you!!! It is wonderful that you have experienced improvement. We all must appreciate the good when it happens even if things are not perfect.
      I too am wondering what medication you are taking?

        Thanks LindaS! If you guys already know, I don't have hearing loss H, I have migraine H. None of the many drugs I've tried have touched it and suddenly out of the blue these new ones started working! Feels good to finally have a break, even though right now a new migraine is starting up again.

        So the med I'm taking is gabapentin (a nerve pain medication and migraine blocker). I've been told this is ototoxic as of yesterday so keep that in mind. But at the same time I was put on propranolol, another migraine blocker, so I don't know which one is stopping the ear pain. I am still having migraines at the same time the ear pain is gone so IDK what's going on I just know I didn't hurt

        Doc said noise exposure won’t make H worse in the long run, but too much can trigger a migraine. So yeah I’m totally risking triggering another migraine and going back to the pain, but it’s more than worth it.

        Ears take forever to heal, so improvement is a great sign and in a year or two you will probably have a lot more improvement.

        Are you doing this because in the past you got a spike when they were in the nearby rooms and you weren't wearing your muffs? This lasted at most an hour, right? You are spending most of your time at home Not wearing muffs, right?

        H goes away a lot more often (and faster!) than T. Chances are that in a year or two you will be over H.
