  • Anxiety has been killing me. T doesn't even seem that much worse. More bothersome than usual? Sure. But the way that my ears FEEL is getting to me. I can't help but to feel like I'm on borrowed time.

    @LukeYoung at least my right ear (the problem child) feels dull, sensitive, fatigued and full at times. left ear is okay but sometimes sensitivity here and there

    @Sodlin yeah i keep telling myself that dwelling on it is not gonna help and just amplify it more 😩 i know i need to give it time, but i hate that we're all stuck in the cycle of "waiting to see what happens".

    I exaactly know the feelingf and i do the same "mistake" aswell. With time you will notice tho that it is your own mind that makes u feel most of the sensations. I had a 70 DB sound for like 5 seconds i freaked out about and that made my ear full for like an entire week. At the same time ive been exposed to 100 DB noices that didnt "freak me out" and those didnt even make my tinnitus spike.
    Audiologist appointment next week and I guess the gist is to avoid every test besides the standard hearing test correct?
    damn i really need help in the mental fortitude department

    Me too. Good luck with your classes; hopefully they offer a decent distraction :)
    Had orientation for college on Monday and had to sit in a gym. Luckily, I was somewhat accommodated and they let me stay outside until it actually began (the announcer was rallying up the students before hand) and I got to leave a little before it ended to avoid the cheering as they called each major. It was such a long and loud day but so far i'm feeling okay! 🙂
    Had a bad night yesterday and today it's been better, but still has me on edge. It once again reminds me how mentally weak I am when it comes to dealing with spikes and such.

    @BrOKeN_1 Thanks, I've been doing okay I think! Thankful to still push forward! Hope you're doing well too brother man.
    If my right side TMJ and ETD let up, i'm sure i would experience ✨some✨ sort of relief.
    Starting to think the exploding head syndrome episode i had earlier last week was a real loud boom and maybe that's why my right ear has been more bothersome the last few days?
    Firework went off so close to me, this might be the end. I have no insurance what do i do if it's bad?

    Almost 24hrs, and so far it's okay. Bought vitamin A,C, and E and took Mag and NAC. Just gotta play it cool for the next week or two.

    Still feeling okayish.
    Would be cool if my TMD and ETD stopped so I gauge my T without them interfering.
    Yeah going thru a spike. Feel like it'll subside at some point (hopefully), since it's not too bad but still pretty noticeable.
    Truck honking their horn which sounded like a train horn. No idea how loud it really was, i was on the freeway. I can't catch a break :/
    Roommate is going to a concert tonight and asked me for earplugs. I feel proud lol.
    Keep getting these brief moments throughout the day where my right ear tenses up and T slightly increases. Feel like it may be ETD related.
