Hi everyone, I suspect I have a ruptured eardrum after my brother slapped my left ear hard. I have the following symptoms after the incident: - High pitched tinnitus - My left ear feels full - Some pain on my ear which I didn't have before It's been about 7 days and I still have the same...

...and they cause a little explosion in your ears, so you get permanent damage. I sometimes compare tinnitus to a scar, or phantom pain, or whatever. People get tinnitus from getting punched on the ears once or twice. But, I am sure you can get tinnitus if you lightly slap your ears many times.

They could have dips and loss in the frequencies higher than 8 kHz causing the tinnitus.

I may have forgot to mention that prior to the slap to the ear about 3-4 months beforehand. I was simply sitting in my room doing laundry listening to talk radio at a pretty low to regular volume and suddenly I had a pop in my right ear followed by T. However it only lasted for about 4 to 5 days...

That’s right, thanks for clarifying. I had SSHL in my right ear at 12,000 Hz to 18,000 Hz from ear infection. I am very well aware those frequencies are not needed for speech hearing ability, but tinnitus/my brain doesn’t care about that. All it recognized is that all of a sudden, there was a...

I wouldn't venture into a supermarket or mall without a pair of good ear muffs at hand just in case. Better than plugs you just slap it on in a second and don't worry about noise There will be loud noise ! we were all kids and definitely quite loud back then that's normal There is a limit to...

Eugh you're probably right, she could have at least said a younger age...

I have identical symptoms from a medium slap to my right ear on 4/7/19. Huge vibrations when I burp or yawn. I'm 1.5 years in and have had very limited improvement. Do loud noises aggravate your tinnitus for a period of time? For instance if I ride my motorcycle for a while my tinnitus gets...

When I walk on hard surfaces while wearing muffs, I can hear that too. I wouldn't worry about it. I can imagine that if someone where to slap your muff, it would be bad. I think you are on the right track as far as protecting your ears from sounds that your body is telling you are too much...

ENT: I'm sorry sir but there's no treatments for tinnitus. I'll recommend CB... *pulls out Mutebutton* "What were you about to recommend? You're supposed to be a doctor who helps your patients remember?"

Ugh so my daughter - who is not yet 2 - slapped me in my ear twice and now the nice buzzing has turned into a higher frequency - not louder but different. Is it screwed up for good now?!?! My hyperacusis is worse. Maybe because I've been so anxious about it and clenching my jaw - and a full...

...sure that you have a TMJ problem. The ringing maybe does not comes from your ear injury, but from your Temporomandibular damage because of the slap. Go with a dentist specialized in TMJ, or with a maxillofacial specialist. Of course it would be very good idea to go first with your GP, as...

I am a little frustrated by your negative attitude on every post. If the Dr said it looks swollen, and the T has spiked following a slap, once the swelling goes down, the hearing should return and in turn the T spike should subside. I understand you are having a tough time but i'm pretty sure...

Hey there @AnonymousHamster - We have a lot in common, I use a CPAP machine as well. I didn't know the filters could go bad, glad you got it fixed. Yet another thing in common. I also have hearing loss. In my case, I have mild/moderate hearing loss in the high frequencies in both ears (although...

...UNSUCCESSFUL USUALLY. https://vitrectomyforfloaters.com/inducing-a-pvd-during-fov/ That's my left eye in the video above, I did both eyes with him though. I'm happy to say that I'm floater free now. Now I have to get rid of the TINNITUS from a slap to the right ear on 4-7-2019. ~Scott

Got hit in my ear on the 29th of december with a slap to the ear went to doctor last thursday they said that i had dry blood in my ear and no ruptured ear drum or infection but the buzzing in my ear where i got hit wont go away its a very quiet buzz i can only hear it when i go to sleep. Is it...

I don't have any reason to think that short-term use of benzos is neuroprotective in a way that would prevent damage from occurring after an acoustic trauma. "Spike" is a nonscientific word that means different things to different people. I imagine most people taking a 10-day course of...

In the context of this thread, do you think a 10-day course of Clonazepam could prevent a possible progress after getting a spike from such an incident as a slap? Also could a 10-day regimen be risky for possible complications on hyperacusis?

...better. One more question, could the poking of eardrum which first attempt didnt go right when one wound scab have created harmful inner ear pressure? As my T started because of a slap on my head. Thanks again for your quick reply. I post an update Sunday eve, hope I am not driven nuts by...

...hear it again, and as you've been ignoring it, it probably sounded louder. I find that if I'm able to mask my T and sometimes even forget about it momentarily that when I do hear it again it seems like such a slap in the face and it gets me down. Hopefully it has settled down already for...

The good thing about Lenire/Neuromod is at least we've actually seen data and research backing up their claims whereas other companies just slap some bullshit number on their website with no evidence.

I have a spike which started in last week of November after an accidental slap on my left ear that had tinnitus. It's still not gone. In fact I can hear tinnitus in right ear too now which wasn't there before. My right ear had some hearing loss but no tinnitus. During the Christmas season I...

@DanKH hearing looks fine, you will recover provided you dont re @Jason37 conversation is 60 db and my car is 60 at highway speed but its a quiet car 70 is quite loud that's when I plug in or slap muffs on - this is really the best to give your ears a good break from loud sound for some recovery.

My dumb boyfriend decided to slap my ass as hard as possible, even after I spent lots of time complaining about how loud jarring noises at work made me feel so much worse today. Then gets mad when I get mad at him! Why can’t the people closest to us even bother to try and be quiet or god forbid...

...so much that T is absolutely nothing to him anymore. In his words, it's a complete "non-issue" today and if he could go back in time he would slap himself upside the head for all the anxiety he went through with his T onset. He enjoys life and only notices the T if he takes his hearing aids...

This is probably really unhealthy but I found when I slap that ear it makes my tinnitus go away for like 10 minutes. No effect on the other ear.

...cooler next to me and i can sleep most nights, guess i'm lucky considering what some people here go through. Where ever you go u see a bunch of people with headphones in/out of the ear(not sure hows this called in english) blasting music, and u can't just walk up to all of them and slap them.

I am also new to this tinnitus thing. Mine really picked up about 5 weeks after an ear slap from a friend of mine.(unintentional) more importantly though try some Lipo Flavonoid vitamins, you end up taking 6 a day for 2 months. I'm only a 12 days in but they can't hurt. Also, just try and relax...

...it doesn't mean other members don't have similar conditions. Just that those guys may not be reading this post. So perhaps you can do searches on key words like 'ear slap', or 'ear injury' or 'ear drum injury'. You should be able to find many discussions on this type of T. Good luck. God bless.

When I first read this, I thought you'd accidentally posted a private email! :eek:

She's definitely in the wrong profession if she doesn't care about her patients.

Haven't had a panic attack from the tinnitus at this stage, I've been trying very hard to go easy on myself, I've cried a lot of tears probably from the sleep deprevation and the fear of it never going away. I have booked an appointment two hours from now with the doc, hopefully he can prescribe...

...it can and does kill. Comparing tinnitus to cancer and other potentially lethal conditions may be meant to be reassuring, but can be a slap in the face of tinnitus patients by invalidating their suffering. 5. Ototoxicity is underrated. 6. I know it is kind of a Catch 22, because certain tests...

...come too often. The memories of lost ones, friends who passed at early ages, has always brought on a deep sadness. Those memories are a waking slap, and with that and all the memories slide down my face wet. I'm thankful of my wife as her strength keeps me afloat. Then my granddaughter...

...on the membranes (eardrum or oval/round window). Types of IMPLOSIVE pressure: Sudden loud blast of music can cause the same injury like a slap on the ear, an airplane descent barotrauma, scuba diving surfacing too fast, or like water skiing accident. EXPLOSIVE pressure is obviously lifting...

Remember they lump all kinds of tinnitus symptoms under ETD because they have no idea what they are doing.

If T started after your ear was slapped, then that is the reason for your T. I remember reading about at least one other case like yours (T after a slap of the ear) on this site. The fact that T sounds louder after you move your jaw, does not mean it is TMJ (as most T sufferers can make T...

...loss. Were you hoping for the tinnitus to only subside or also getting your hearing back to perfect? My right ear has hearing loss from a slap on 7th April, 2019. Attached is my recent hearing test. Do you think I should wait a bit longer if I was to go see the doctor?? Money isn't an...

Hi everyone, So 4 months ago I was being an idiot with my friends and let one of them slap me in the face. Being really drunk at the time i didn’t notice any pain or effects until the morning after when i noticed heavy ear fullness. I was immediately put on prednisone which cause a sensation...

...ear muffs - if I feel people get too loud or the car is too loud or the street, shopping mall, restaurant whatever situation is too loud I just slap my big peltor muffs on and issue solved ! I don't even bother with plugs much unless I'm in a business meeting or date where "looks" matter...

Girlfriends appear hazardous for the ears in many ways. In theory a direct slap on the ear can cause an airwave triggering the tympanic membrane, the stapes and consequently cause inner ear damage due to the force of the wave. The bleeding indicates your eardrum might have ruptured, which might...

This is just a slap in the face. 'Just' diagnosed with T.. that shows how uneducated most doctors are. Probably they never find a doctor who prescribes the lethal medication for a patient suffering extreme T because those doctors usually have offed themselves already.

i got T due to a hard slap on my left side of the head = ear -> perforated ear drum etc. So in my case left ear. Of course they ask you where the T sounds is most present in my case left and center of head. This means that ear projects (how they call it) the sound from left to center..

...because they irritate my fucking tinnitus. I am mad as hell... It just seems to unfair and everyone telling you to "stay strong" is like a slap in the face when that is all you are doing. I wish there were better words out there to help alleviate the frustration and defeated feelings...

The bad news is that a slap can lead to a very serious injury of an ear. The good news is that your tinnitus isn't a high pitch tone (harder to ignore, and a signal of serious damage). Many people with a perforated ear drum end up losing their tinnitus months after their ear drum heals...

Hey jennifer sorry your hurting but I don't agree that you just have to just endure it. Have you looked into things like TRT and cbt?

Ahahahaha yea, if this shit works, we finally have something. I am sure after that it will just be a matter of time until we figure out how to eliminate tinnitus completely. I will probably buy one just to slap a certain german ENT with it @Autumnly :D

I am pretty sure that the earplug saved you from a lifelong problem. Slaps can be very dangerous. I am glad you had that earplug to protect you! It could make a difference, but surely our reaction can't lead to permanent T. Keep this in mind and consider the fact that some of the things that...

...feels a bit sore/stuffed. Hearing is not muffled but my regular tinnitus is crazy loud. Should I go to the ER? What damage could I have done? Could the sound probably be gunshot loud? Could I have caused harmful pressure like a slap to the ear? Is this possible or am I paranoid? I'm so...

I did have issues opening my mouth for wisdom teeth removal a couple months ago, and straining my jaw does cause a substantial increase in T volume. Perhaps it is TMJ related. Thank you I’ve never considered that. Should I do something? Talk to the ENT about it?

...feeling as much as a sound, it makes me want to drop to my knees and just grit my teeth. Right now I'm just trying to focus on work to take my mind off of it, but god it makes me so irritable! I feel like I wanna slap the closest person to me right now lol. I hope we both can get relief over...

...can accept it. There’s a lot of other really great things in my life I just need to accept, adjust and proceed with life. It shows you how to slap yourself and stop being so self centered. There are things are worse than tinnitus. Mine is high pitch hiss 24/7. My friend has ALS, now that...

I have stopped drumming and playing plugged in, I can however, still happily play my acoustic guitar and even slap on my acoustic bass. I've noticed spikes from singing though. We are all different with different levels of damage so just test the waters with your toes and not your head.

Hard slaps are incredibly dangerous. Your injury might be similar to the injuries received by the people whose eardrum is damaged as a result of a terrorist bomb. If that's the case, you are in luck, as most of them recover months after their eardrum heals. Check out the first study in the...

Hey everyone, This is probably a really bad idea, but I've noticed when I cup/slap my left ear (the one that developed tinnitus recently) it makes my T disappear for about ten minutes, but then it comes back. I tried it with the ear that's had T for a decade, and all it did was make my ear...

@Herlinde Nope. And that's what makes it so scary, because I don't know if my entire recovery is ruined because of this one stupid slap, because its now 2 weeks from that day, and my left ear sometimes still whines in the silence when my right ear momentarily goes quiet, though I don't know if...

Can someone answer questions for me i got slapped on my ear by gf really hard and it caused ringing for a hour or so and hurt badly then for 2 days after the slap couldnt hear then my hearing came back to normal.then i started hearing a buzzing noise in the ear that got hit and i hear it all day...

Gabapentin is basically a GABA molecule, the sort that comes in food supplements I'd guess, onto which they probably slap a hexane ring or something to make it liposoluble. That would help it cross the blood brain barrier and make it work its magic. Your typical synthesized, basic GABA molecules...

...hum or if other people talk at a certain volume, or if a plane flies over, but then it comes back straight away. The really weird thing is if i slap my left ear, the humming stops for a few seconds, then comes back. Also if i bend my neck upwards, the sounds reduces. My doctor put me on...

Maybe just a good old slap on the ear should give him a little taste of what we face daily, you know.. Just for fun.. :-) Joking apart I feel for you... What about making him listen for 5 minutes to a T sound through some headphones so maybe he can understand a little better and maybe be a...
