Hi, yes it definitely got better but also took a few months to get better, mine was more with loud Basy music, what helped me was some supplements like NAC, magnesium, and calming my nerves, it was very stressful in the beginning. How did yours began? Mine a few days after a loud show and infection

How are you, @in_LA?

Yeah, I was hearing things earlier too, but because of T, not cause I'm crazy. =P

@SarahMLFlemmer I have to ask my wife if she hears certain sounds as well because I don't know if it's real or Mr. T.... UGH!

I had this and ended up having fluid in my ears that turned into an infection. I don't know if you've been checked out but doesn't hurt.

@Mo8409 Thanx, it's slightly better today, I had some ear drops i was prescribed for inflammation 2 months ago, and it made a small difference

@Ngo13 I recently was at the ENT and found nothing, I was prescribed fluticasone and don't like the way my eras react to it, don't know if I should try it again

My ears feel heavy.

@SarahMLFlemmer I know the feeling

Fans make my Tinnitus louder. So I can't really mask it because it reacts.

Fans are the devil

Why I'm I just seeing this? Lol

Isn't musical ear where you can hear noises. Like if you hear a bird chip then you'll hear it in your head and etc.

sorry to hear that, man. I may have Celiac's sadly - but would take having that over T 100x over.

Me. I got it a few months ago from using CPAP. Did the Epley manoeuvre and it went away, Hasn't come back.

@Uklawyer dude it one yesterday and it kinda worked for me the one that helps the most is half sommesault

Not sure what that one is, but do whatever helps. I'm happy it helped me - hopefully you'll sort it out.

@in_LA This seems to have happen same time with your fatty liver diagnosis? Feel you need to update you PCP. There is info. online to try yourself under ear crystals, epley maneuver to try yourself, (which takes time). Drink lots of water too.

@sakrt been drinking lots of water, i tried the Wiley and it kinda helped half somersault is what worked for me so far

@Marshall from eating too much good stuff, i gotta go on a diet, and sadly will always have to watch myself.

@ZFire hey bro my ears haven't changed too much from 2 weeks ago, still taking NAC and I'm hoping I'll be better by next year, what about you?

Gotta go with a healthy lifestyle. Maybe T was a Sign..??

I know bad health can 100% make T worse. You got this man!!

Used to happen to me every morning until i got T. But it's starting to happen again so i think that means i'm bothered by t less and less

@Marshall I'm glad your t bothers you less, and hopefully it goes away completely. Yeah I remember i could always hear my thoughts and now it seems my brain wants more music,i used to always have headphones before so maybe that's whymy brain miss music.

I like to think when I’m playing music in my head it’s like filler for not wanting to actually think lmao

Try not to stress bro.I’ve had many tinnitus tones and noise come and go.

@ZFire thanx for the comment bro, i hope this is the case, today in the lobby I couldn't hear it so that's good, just my good ol T lol

Could you tell me how loud the MRI was? Was it a 3T device?

@Labyrinthine my MRI was loud but was able to wear double ear protection, it was a Philips 3T machine, make sure if you get one to wear double ear protection.

So considering it's loudness, it was tolerable with double protection? What body part was scanned in your case?

@ZFire bro I'm beginning to suspect shores device might end up being vaporware, it's taken forever and their funding has been inconsistent, but I could be wrong, do you know when they're supposed to release it?

@ZFire not going to lie I was hoping hearing regeneration would've had some good results in trials by now, but as you said it'll probably be another 10 years before it reaches the market.

@in_LA , regarding shore’s device, your guess is good as mine…

@ZFire my palinacousi is very inconsistent, lately I've been taking music home but it's definitely deminished and less intrusive, but still noticeable, since they play Basy loud music at work for 8 hours my ears I guess have a timer of how much they can take before the music is triggered.

@CW Dragon how did your accoustic trauma happen? Make sure if you go to an MRI that you can use double protection, and ask for a queit mode for the MRI,some machines have it.

The worst thing you can do to your ear, impulse noise from a firecracker about a meter in front of me. Damaged my left ear but my right remained the same for some God forsaken reason. I got 32db rated ear foam plugs, but I'm not sure how effective they are since I keep forgetting the scale is logarithmic. Will use my trusty ear muffs too

Yeah tell me about out it bro. There’s no decency or regard for us.

How long does your palinacousis usually last for?

@ZFire sorry for the late reply, my palinacousis usually lasts about 3 hours at its loudest, after that, it'll get fainter but still annoying. Though I haven't had seriously loud ones In 2 weeks which is nice, still I hate vents and fans when I get even minor ones cause they produce music or chatter.

@ZFire right, do you have ETD? If so does it get better?

It’s gotten better overtime. Still not where it needs to be, but far better than a year ago.

@ZFire i sometimes have good days and bad days, my ears will wake up achy, or simply irritated somewhat, like today, not extremely bad but definitely noticeable.

Bro it's sad my T is under control but my palinacousis drives me mad, I'm afraid of the mri but I'm still going, want to make sure nothing is wrong. Btw what state are you in?

@in_LA I have, but it was back in 2010 when I had no issue with sound and still playing gigs and clubbing regularly. I still remember it being LOUD.

@in_LA I would not get one now with tinnitus unless I was having obvious signs of a brain issue, like slurred speech.

Its loud and I would only do it again in the next 5 years when my life would depend on it. However if you want to have peace of mind that nothings wrong with your brain then do it.

peltor x5a and x4a are all plastic and should work. you can get them on amazon

@kingsfan the thing is it's a brain mri so I can't wear earmuffs and I'm trying to double protect, I don't wanna take loud noises home. Is there a way I can do this?

Foam earplugs coupled with sleeping earplugs plus the muffs they give you

https://1of1custom.com/products/pro-10-custom-ear-plug-2 they have many options. Try to see which one will work best for you. You have universal ones too.

Btw I replied to your post regarding palinacousis if you didn’t see.

I got mine in NY and the brand is Micro Sonic.
