    No, mine doesn't feel weird really.. can you describe your reactivity? Mine is like a static overlay to certain frequencies.

    @Guywithapug T is 3-4 fluctuating tones & a static/electric sound which is the main reactive sound. Any sound can make static increase, but mainly things like fan, water, etc. When it’s very reacted, it’s like I can feel the static in my R ear. In the past few days I’ve been getting fleeting tinnitus feeling in ears, but not a loud tone w/ it, just in & out of the feeling. Wondering if I should be concerned.

    @ErikaS that's interesting, by no means am I trying to alarm you but I had a similar experience right before I found out about my acoustic neuroma. I would get fleeting tinnitus episodes and then reactivity started. It went away the first time but then came back and I've now had it for 2 years.

    @Guywithapug i had MRI and CT done and both were clear so I think Im okay in that regard. My sleep has been awful the past 2 weeks so just could be exacerbating T symptoms.

    I understand your concern @ErikaS I an familiar to all your symptoms/what you describe. The aural fullness feeling will lessen over time. Well, at least that my experience. Fleeting t can be annoying, but usually nothing to be concerned about. How long are you in with this?

    @MindOverMatter I developed the T just over 3 months ago in R ear with ear infection. Started as high electric hiss, now 5-6 tones with reactive hiss and distortions. I know it takes time to get better, but what I do not understand is why getting worse?

    @MindOverMatter i took a leave from work, do not go around very loud sounds, do not wear protection in the house and have low background sound on from something. But going in the car sends my reactivity up and recently the R ear is now “feeling” it through this sensation rather than just hearing it.

    @ErikaS You seem to be doing "what you should", in my humble opinion. T winding up while in the car is, unfortunately, very common for many with different versions of sound sensitivity and reactive t. "Feeling" it, yes. I know what you mean. It will get better with time, 3 months is not a long time. There is a good chance for you to feel at least better within a time frame of 6-9 months.
