Two reactive tones, I'm really getting scared, can they subside ?

“Can they sibside” Mine has, but then I’ve gotten setbacks. I believe they can subside fully and permanently with enough time

@danielthor thank you :D

Hey @Farida thanks for asking. Made me smile :) I’m not doing so great atm. I have a lot of stress at home to deal with. And stress = louder T. However, work is going great. Anyway, enough about me - how are you? Xx

@Steph1710 same actually, I have this new Typewriter Tinnitus, it's mild but actually reacts to external sounds or ty moves, so I'm actually really anxious about it

@Steph1710 can this actually be caused by anxiety ?

The only pattern I've noticed is that it gets worse when I'm stressed or have been forced to listen / talk to people a lot. Certain environments have an impact, too, tiled floors e.g. or naked / merely painted concrete walls. It gets better once I'm alone and in a quiet environment again - so self-isolation really wasn't a problem for me :)

@Matchbox wow so it's a noticeable improvement for you, that's grand news, I'm sire they will completely dissipate for you.

@Leila thank you for your trply ♡

I suspect some kind of middle ear origin, but can't find a doc to diagnose it or help me with it.

Is it a crackling when you swallow or just a random crackling?

@martinberryhorse both + sometimes random with fluttering in ear

lol, I can see that @Farida.

He reminds me of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon (from Yugioh):

Noble but deadly.

Crazy cat people...:O
It’s a small tiger for gods sake:D
If it was bigger you’d be a steak;)

lol @Exit!

Have you tried giving Trisse prednisone @Stacken77?

Maybe he wants some and that's why he scratches...

So this sound appeared after the Valsalva? I feel i screwed up my hyperacusis as well - it is now worse than it was. I also spiked a tone that i slightly heard yesterday... How much time did it take to subside for you?

It took one day

@Farida The main hissing sound I have basically subsided. However, I obviously made the other two sounds ( which used to come and go) permanent. The one I heard yesterday for a few minutes and it went away. However after Valsalva, they have not given me any rest...

@Farida, it also got much better.

Hi @Farida I think your assessment is right. This is all theory but part of the role the tensor tympani plays is to dampen sound. When that broken sensation happened it really felt like something was rumbling in my ear. I think the sound tolerance has been lowered for when that muscle is supposed to function.

Good news is anecdotally if you feel something move it seems those cases tend to somewhat alleviate if not disappear all together as time passes. There is a irreversible surgery that is hit or miss than you can do as last resort if it's truly hampering your quality of life.

No, this is an aspect of interdimensional travel.

Basically, you've somehow teleported yourself into one of the several realms of hell.

There's one where the walls don't breathe, but bleed.

Let us know if you find it.

I have some visual snow and also see surfaces "breathing", but I only notice it when surfaces have certain patterns.

I'm 28 years old, and what I most wanted was to leave home and get married and be able to have children, everything has stopped thanks to T.

20 is very young plenty of time to figure that all out but ppl should respect your life decisions !

It was brought on by extreme stress, in my case.

Thank you sm for your answers ♡

@Steph1710 yep I did

Yes, I had something similar but with people’s voice around late June. I’m noticing improvements this month September.

Absolutely. But it's supposed to go back after a couple of hours.

Mine becomes really blurry, but only for a couple hours, and then I m 95% floater free for several hours......love those drops!

I recently went to an ophthalmologist too. I got those drops too. Kinda annoying because for me they take about 24h for the effect to fully go away.

That’s me. I would probably be recovered if my son didn’t scream 90-100 decibels near me almost daily lol

I got the Monkees theme song

Man I was that ws me

Then imagine having severe pain hyperacusis as the cherry on the top (hello me :( ) I am envious as fuck of people who only have tinnitus (unless its very severe and can not be masked)

I pray for regular maskable tinnitus every morning

Imagine getting beeps and whistles over most sounds. And then you have friends who say 'just ignore it lol'.

Cause of your acoustic trauma was a baby? @Farida

@SD7 I suppose it's most likely to be the case

Sorry to hear @Farida hope you recover

@Vassili my vidion gets completely blurry until I blink, then it gets back to normal, can it also be tied to VS ?

My vision look like im on LSD or something like that, always. It seems shaky, like all I am looking at is moving a bit, colours look a bit off + floaters, light visual snow, BFEP, afterimages. It's f***** :(

@TheDanishGirl it fucking sucks.

My VS got much better after 22 months but I think I understand what you are talking about.

@Vassili were you exposed to any loud sounds during your recovery ?

Yes, and often. You can't predict everything living in the city.

Seriously though, I love @Farida, and how I choose to interact with her is no one's concern except mine and her's.

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, @Farida. My Dad also got severe COVID at the start of the year and was rushed to hospital unable to breathe - but he is fine now. Recovery took a while, but he is pretty much back to normal again. I hope your recovery is speedy.

@Tanni thank you a lot ^^ my father is also a lot better now

No problem with hearing, but having some distortions while talking

Will take some Zinc today

@Wrfortiscue actually Ibfeel like shit, barely able to keep my balance and want to throw up, cn also be anxiety though, but MRI had to br done in order to rule an acoustic Neuroma, hope I didn't fuck anything up

I already took a vitamin that has Magnesium, Zincin it hope it helps
