Don't miss the opportunity to attend Tinnitus Quest's online Q&A with Dr. Susan Shore and Jon Pearson, CEO of Auricle on October 13. We will hear the latest about the Susan Shore Device.
@Strawberryblonde you are right about the weight lifting. I still have hard days, but I have much better coping skills so I manage without crashing and burning
@Strawberryblonde its a burning type of pain and sometimes it feels like something scraped my ear canal and i feel the lingering pain. I want to know if its because of the plugs or my H but its hard to distinguish.
@Merlin L @MadeleineHope
Yes, I have seen some small improvements. A little less stabbing pain at certain noises and a little less burning pain that I have 24/7. Mainly because I haven't been exposed to any digital noise and haven't talked much at all, and of course also because I managed to...
@BeMagnified - when you mention 'deep pressure' in your ears, does it feel as if a muscle is contracting or tightening in your ear when you hear certain noises? Any burning sensation?
...I think my tolerance has gone down after each setback and it takes a bit longer to heal, to be honest. I have loudness H with discomfort/burning and aural fullness. Symptoms fluctuated a lot - my last setback actually brought up some new symptoms that really scared me (dysacusis and reactive T)
Hi @Michael Leigh!
Did you ever experience burning or stabbing pains with your hyperacusis? Thinking I might be ready to slowly start sound therapy with Treble Health. I am planning to start only with the sound machine and no maskers. I know you had success with this, but I have seen mixed...
...recently, I sometimes feel dizzy in bed when I'm awake at night. Maybe the vestibular nerve is starting to get enervated too? Not to mention burning ears...
Besides it is very logical for nature to build in a warning system in the OHCs and not the IHCs for extremely loud sounds. The OHCs...
...what was used in studies.
Cheers,
Maddy
I get delayed & lingering aching pain too. I agree that the aching may be a more minor form of the burning; I get burning too. I think it's likely a matter of the intensity of the sensation.
That is curious though that you don't experience any...
I wanna say I was borderline I was starting to get deep stabbing sensations and nerve pain started shooting around my jaw and neck. I didn't get the burning but I feel it could have gotten to that point @Moni97
...vibration is only on the right side of my head. Sound is so strong I feel it in my ears too. Like much tighter vibrations in ears but more burning. Sometimes, not always, my entire head is full of sound. Full. With both ears and all of this. I cannot at take listening to that YouTube video...
I also have this burning ears sensation, they also can become itchy.
My ENT suggested taking Alpha-lipoic acid, this reduces inflammation.
I remember him saying this was also prescribed for people that have a burning tongue.
It has been about a year since I had this burning sensation again, but...
Thanks so much for sharing @Mymlan! I wonder, did you also experience burning pain in your ears & TTTS symptoms (e.g., ear fullness, sensation of fluttering in the ear(s) )? And how were you with artificial audio - was it a problem for you or were you okay with it?
Congrats again on your...
...unfortunately.
I don’t think it was just the placebo effect; almost every time, I could feel some tingling, heat, or even a slight burning sensation during the sessions. Right after each session, my tinnitus would be about 50% quieter, though only for a few minutes.
Toward the end of my...
@Ellaenchanted868 thank you! I tried my best to focus on my goals and not to think about it. I had severe sound sensitivity. I had burning or sizzling feeling in my ears. I also had muffled hearing, headaches and tinnitus. My husband's footsteps were too loud at first. I could barely watch...
...the fact that it has been changing is a good sign. Ear fullness is just a sign that your ears got hurt - that ought to eventually go away.
Burning is a rare symptom. I can recall only two people posting here who mentioned burning. Basically their tinnitus got better after a year, but they...
...an acoustic shock in June last year that led to my worsening. (Tinnitus was low-level and non-reactive up until that point). I had pain and burning in my ear last year, but that subsided in a few months.
This all makes parenting so much more difficult! Reading your comments gives me hope for...
That's very strange, Marin. I'm obviously not a doctor but fact so many supplements are causing that reaction would tell me that the problem is not with the supplements but that something very peculiar is happening in your body. I can imagine this must all be very stressful for you too. Have you...
...and tinnitus start immediately after the concert or was it a delayed onset? Did you ever experience any Ear fullness?
How long was it before your ear burning went away?
Was the burning only from sound or independent of sound (burning in silence)?
Did your tinnitus ever spike from noise?
...to. Trying to find new lodging and making all the necessary phone calls would be overwhelming. Even a ten-minute phone call can leave my ears burning for six hours.
So we’ll see what happens.
To @Sydnears:
Thanks for your understanding and support. My life isn’t totally bad. I have some...
...one in Canada and one in the United States.
It describes how sounds are overwhelmingly loud for hyperacusis sufferers, causing ice pick or burning pain, and suggests a few mechanisms/underlying causes. It also gives a detailed history of both patients and their prior history of noise...
I listen to lots of Reggae bands. My favourites are Burning Spear, Culture, Black Uhuru, Peter Tosh, Don Carlos, Bob Marley, Damian Marley, Ziggy Marley, Stephen Marley, Dennis Brown. I keep diggin' and finding more artists.
You answered your own question. I'm in your category.
Instant pain, no burning or facial pain = sensitized type II afferent nerve fibers in cochlea.
Delayed, burning an facial pain = MEM problem, probably trigeminal nerve involvement.
I guess one could have both. Ouch!!!
Fuck the medical...
...like this. What remains is a forum full of chronic sufferers who refuse to consider any other opinion.
Three years ago, I was in constant, burning pain. No, I wasn’t a mild case—I almost ended my life because of this problem. But three years later, I’m living life again. Yes, I’m careful...
@Sash -- I didn't have burning in my ears until a few months post onset of tinnitus/hyperacusis. At about that time, I'd been learning from my practitioner how to do a little self-acupuncture on myself. Even though I hadn't noticed much improvement in the sessions I'd gotten from him, I...
...At home, I can mostly be without earplugs, though I like to have some silicone earplugs hanging out of my ears a lot to dampen sound a bit. I do sleep with earplugs - mostly silicone, but lately foam because I live in a busy area & my ears have been burning more lately after my doc appt.
I have some ear canal burning in my right ear, and inner ticklish vessel movements/micro-spasms (TTTS?). For me, the burning is not always associated with sound but sometimes it is; it is hard to tell. I thought it was related to hyperacusis.
I hope you find some relief soon, I have been suffering from burning nerve pain myself for a couple of weeks, they don't really seem to find what's causing it, been prescribed Trazodone+amitriptylin, it helps but now my tinnitus is spiking, nerve issues can take a while but things will improve .
Hey, would you be so kind as to describe your pain symptoms? Burning pain (reactive or in silence), acute/stabbing pain, etc.
Could you quantify the pain reduction? What isn't painful on Gabapentin that is painful normally?
Are you using other medication simultaneously with Gabapentin?
What do you guys think causes the burning sensations in our ear? Not burning from noise but that feeling of acid in the ear canal? It doesn’t seem cochlear because it intensifies if I put in ear plugs and pull them out.
I also notice that if I touch my face in any way or like if I rest my...
...more common when you start to expose yourself to sounds again (like you do know), but it should be temporary. In my personal experience, the burning/warm sensation is more present when stressed and ears are fatigued.
Yes, it will take time to return to "normal". I'm in it for the long run...
...for 8 months, loudness hyperacusis for 6 months, and now I am having increasingly more frequent signs of pain hyperacusis/noxacusis onset. Burning feeling inside the ear canal, appearing with a delay after an increased period of exposure to sound. I am going to further limit exposure to...
I have had pretty severe burning noxacusis that has lasted for weeks and even months at a time. Currently I’d say I’m 80% recovered. The main reasons for my recovery are time, avoiding harsh speakers at all costs, and consuming lots of ginger.
I still get noxacusis burning occasionally for a...
Hi thanks for posting this - I am new and this is the worst thing I have ever had to deal with. At present I have quite a new symptom fleeting burning sensations in only one ear. Happens a few times per hour and lasts seconds. Is this familiar to you?
