I find myself asking the same question. I’ve been using a steamer every day (morning & night), it may be helping slightly.

Also trying my best to resist the urge to pop them by swallowing and sniffing.

@makeyourownluck yes- you’re right, don’t pop them. I gave myself one of my worst tones by popping my ears to try alleviate the pressure.

@makeyourownluck I try not to but when the pressure keeps building its hard. I think mine reacts to the weather sometimes which doesn't make sense to me because I thought the fullness was from the noise trauma.
@Steph1710 I think I did the same very early on when I didn't know any better with my ear that originally didn't have tinnitus, only the fullness ☹️

@Steph1710 its stories like yours that have made me try and stop. The pressure can get so intense though. Piping the became a habit.

@Ngo13, I also think mine is correlated to the weather. Things expand in heat so maybe that why? Idk. I really would advocate for a steamer, it’s the only thing that has even slightly helped. That and reducing my earplug usage but this is risky. Mine has a wee bit for essential oils.

@Steph1710 How did you pop them? Valsalva?

Mines has negative pressure on every hearing test I take. I don't know how much longer I can take this. My sound sensitivity is so bad that my body sounds are so loud that T is screeching. It's used to screech but be in the back of my head. Now in front. I don't know everything I did made it worse
