Update... now at about 18 mos. since injury. 90-95% improved. Still a bit sensitive to HVAC noise but overall my hearing injury does not limit me outside of being more cautious around loud environments. I'm writing this for anyone reading that is generally healthy but had a loud exposure...

I just wanted to update for anybody reading this thread. I am now like 80% better. 8.5 mos. after being at the loud concert. I feel my otalgia is secondary to a protective tightening of my middle ear muscles. This seems to be easing. I can reduce it greatly when it gets bad by taking a...

They are supplements by a company "standard Process". Regarding the burning... it seemed no matter what by mid day until bed time my ear would burn... no matter what sound I was exposed to... I guess if I sat in a quiet room I wouldn't have the burning. I attributed my burning pain to middle...

Chiropractic... spine doctor.

I generally don't have pain with any sound at this point. I've always felt my best in the mornings. So in the mornings regardless of whether it was low dB sound or high dB sound, it didn't bother me. but as the day went on I got ear fatigue. Regardless of dB i would get a burning sensation...

Just an update for anybody that follows this thread... It is now 3.5 mos. since my acoustic trauma... I feel like my pain hyperacousis has taken a significant turn for the better. It was like over a period of a week where things seem to have turned a corner. I'm am having less burning in my...

I went to neuro-ent at a big local hospital system. He had nothing to offer. Actually seemed like he had not ever seen a patient with my symptoms of noise induced ear pain. It actually surprised me quite a bit at his lack of experience with my presentation. Told me to give it time and...

Thank you. I ended up taking a small dose of Pred. from the doctor and within 12 hours my hearing returned to baseline. I'm not sure what did it but I had a major inflammation spike. Felt like my whole left ear was numb. Never had that sensation of numbness/deafness before, either prior to...

Wow. 3 yrs and still struggling with the pain. That is not great to hear. Have you ever talked with or known anybody to get better outcomes than you? I mean I was hopeful that within a year or so I could recover from this chronic pain. It is quite annoying and borderline disabling. A...

JohnAdams. I have had some noise exposures trough life associated with rifle shooting/hunting. I’ve been to several loud concerts through college and such. But The loudest I ever went to was in October 2018. Metallica indoor show. Immediately following the show I had 3symptoms...

Jesus! I was just on here writing how my sense of deafness and tinnitus we’re improving and my burning pain was the only remaining issue. Then 4am this morning I wake up with intense tinnitus and a profound sense of hearing loss! I retested my Audiogram this morning... for the last 3mos...

JohnAdams, I am absolutely amazed that there isn't some kind of OSHA regulation on noise levels. I mean everything in the US is soooo regulated now, I can't believe this isn't something that they regulate. Like why the hell don't they have someone with a dB meter keeping an eye on noise...

Contrast. The itching is just my best way to describe the sense of something moving inside my ear, like there is a bug in there or something. Make me want to stick my finger in my ear. Seriously I mostly have very little T. Just this pain like an earache/burning sensation that worsens...

No, I am a healthcare provider, not a noisy environment. I did have issues with a computer fan but I moved that computer. Digital Doc, I see you have noise induced T, do you have personal experience with single acoustic trauma like mine? Did you have the same symptoms? Did they generally...

I just started using the WNG because I thought maybe it would help my cause. I wake up feel 'ok' but by noon, my ear fatigue kicks in and I start noticing the sensation of something crawling in my ear and then eventually itchy pain. I definitely don't have any problems with any soft sounds...

Thank you

Thank you Juan for the reply. Have you dealt with this personally? In your opinion is it better to overprotect with ear plugs, or no ear plugs and just protect from dangerous sounds, OR proactively use something like constant pink noise? I've been using a sound machine at night this whole...

I attended a loud concert 3 months ago... 3 hours of unprotected exposure from the 4th row. I'm a 39-year-old male in good health and I do not take any meds or have any known pre-existing hearing problems. After the show I knew immediately something was wrong, ear fullness, tinnitus, and a...
