    I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days. I'm too anxious because the low humming/rumbling in my left ear is just too loud. It's by far the most annoying of my tones.

    I can relate. This spike I'm going through is very persistent and wakes me up at night :/

    @orenge01 Do you also have the humming/rumble?
    orenge01
    @DorianP No humming, no rumble, just this loud hissing, like a dying lamp :/

    @Ben Winders Hey, I have exactly the same symptoms as you describe for the drone/low hum (noise induced, in left ear and sometimes feels like it jumps to my right ear as well). I've had it for six years now, and I still find it difficult to manage.

    @DimLeb I think I'm experiencing the same thing you describe in your post from Apr 27, 2025. Do you still have this?

    I really don't know, it's weird. There are a few sounds in my routine which seem to have that distortion, but in most other situations I don't hear it. Either I fixated on those sounds, thinking they have a distortion in my ears, or it is a distortion but it's happening in a very specific (and weird) pattern.

    I still do hear it on one TV we have, but in the end it maybe just its bad quality. You can't not be paranoid about sound if you get so many ear problems... I also get terrifying episodes of ear pressure/reactive tinnitus that definitely are distorting my hearing.

    Is complete silence bad for reactivity? Everything I do seems to make it worse, I don't know what to do anymore. I also have this weird distorded mettalic sound with it.

    Salut, I also have a sort of electric/metallic sound that seems to move around inside my head.
    This is one of the 5 sounds I hear that bothers me the most.
    Complete silence is not good for hyperacusis. Your hears have to get used little by little to noise. But loud noise is definitely dangerous!

    This reactivity is killing me. I can't believe it only started because I paid attention to my TTTS again and built up anxiety. I really hope it gets better.

    I've been under a lot of stress over the last few days, and now I'm getting a feeling of ear fullness in my right ear, accompanied by a very strong reactivity to everything. It's so bad I can't focus on anything. What am I supposed to do in this situation?

    I can't believe I managed to be sick at this time of year. I don't even know what it is but it sure makes my T insanely loud and reactive.

    If being sick wasn't bad enough then you have T on top of it. Sorry to hear. I'm sure your T will go down once the illness gets better.

    I don't know what to do anymore to protect my ears when I need to go to the city. Ear plugs occlusion is just too much when I walk.

    I have custom molded ear plugs for going to town, and loud places, but unfortunately the occulsion is as bad wearing those as wearing my other ear plugs, or noise cancelling headphones.
    I'd also love to find a solution as my sound reactivity really reacts to the occulsion

    @DeanD I've had custom molds made twice so far. I asked for them to be deep and with the least amount of occlusion each time.

    The second pair is much better than the first pair, but I will admit that deeply inserted foam are still the best. I can get close to 0 occlusion with foam.

    I insert them until there is barely enough to grab to remove them: https://www.profithearing.com/how-to-use-ear-plugs/

    I second @kingsfan. Deeply inserted foam plugs are what you need. Occlusion is barely audible, if at all
