    Can Someone Tell Me What I Have? Reactive Tinnitus?

    Hey guys, Im a 17 year old student and got my T 3 days ago. Atleast i think its T. What the strange thing is, is that i can barely hear it in silence, but as soon as there is any noise, the T's volume rises to slightly above the volume if what im hearing. Expl: Normal T volume is 1/100 When...

    Hey friend, you’d think I know this answer by now with how much we have conversed over the past months, but I want to confirm just given your improvement. When you speak about your reactivity that is improving, is this the reactivity characterized by T spiking/winding up to those constant sounds...

    @Strawberryblonde thank you for sharing! I really do think it’s the cold as I held it off pretty well but woke up this morning to much sorer throat and congestion. So maybe just inflammation driven. I have reactive T so it’s always tricky to know what can cause a change!

    For never comers with reactive T, you may not notice but those brief moments of silence when you say "if only it could stay like this"... well that's actually your baseline the goal is to keep it at that same level so you can go back to a semi normal life.

I’m determined to use DNRS how Marin did and hopefully reset Limby and have more stabilized, non reactive T!

    @blamingeverything my ENT is offering to do up to 3, so we shall see. Glad to hear your T has improved though. I feel like mine has made the TINIEST improvements lately, but so hard to tell from on moment to the next when it’s multi tonal and reactive.

    Hey @DeanD sorry For delay.. it came on as pressure/fullness in the ears and like I couldn’t equalize pressure, always had to yawn to open e tubes. As uncomfortable as that was. I would take that long term over what I have now with reactive T. How are you doing?

    This is interesting and I think people will have different experiences but my own experience is similar to Diesel's ^. The reactive T flared up when H was worse - particularly in sounds that triggered my facial/trigeminal pain H symptoms the T would become reactive and piercing.

    Slight Hearing Loss and Tinnitus from Ear Irrigation
