I had a tube removed because one day, all of a sudden, I felt a shock go through me that caught me off guard. It went from my ear across my head. After that, I became dizzy and developed tinnitus and severe pressure. I went to my ENT, and they saw that my left tube was crusted over and blocked...

sometimes i hit stuff bcos im mad at T and then it makes a bang and spikes T lol :)

No, it’s not strange. Hearing tests done by audiologists who sell hearing aids do not record enough data points or cover a wide enough frequency range to give accurate information about your hearing loss. You need at least four data points per 1000 Hz, and you also need to extend the test to...

I thought you lived in Ireland, like Rosie O’Donnell, to escape your TDS. Apparently, President Trump is still living in your head rent free.

I imagine your tinnitus is due to the noise from powered instruments, such as drills and microdebriders, cutting through bone during your procedure. These noise levels can reach up to 95.5 dBA. The resulting sound pressure levels transmitted to surrounding structures, such as the inner ear...

Great, we should contact Auricle now that the matter can be put to rest. 🙄

Pain in the ear is probably an ear-related issue, but a lower activation threshold of the acoustic reflex is entirely a brain issue. The central nervous system controls every skeletal muscle in your body, including the tensor tympani and stapedius. This is well established.

I do not support anybody who commits sexual crimes, especially those who victimize people under the age of legal consent. Do you support the use of capital punishment for child sex offenders?

What’s going on, everyone. I’m a 34-year-old male with chronically bad ears. I’ve had about six ear surgeries (five on the right, one on the left) since I was little. My right ear is the main culprit. I have a bit of tinnitus and occasional popping in that one, while my left ear gives me almost...

And now the real show begins. Trump will do anything illegal to stop voters. It’s unbelievable how American democracy is going down the drain. He doesn’t seem to understand basic principles or ideology. It would be best if he simply disappeared from politics altogether and reflected on the harm...

It hasn’t been long, but I had sphenoidotomy surgery on both of my sphenoid sinuses on October 28. Four days after the surgery, I developed a ringing and buzzing sound in my ears that has not gone away. It’s constant, 24 hours a day, every day. My question is: is this common because of...

I'm not saying he was in great shape before but he literally looks like a blob of pudding now.

I tried NAC 600 mg three times, and each time it doubled my tinnitus, which then returned to normal within two to three days. I suppose it makes sense that something helping one person’s tinnitus could worsen another’s, depending on which specific subtype of tinnitus they have. So my suggestion...

There is a study that shows NAC has little to no effect on hearing loss: Effect of N‐acetyl‐cysteine treatment on sensorineural hearing loss: a meta‐analysis

I can adapt to tinnitus, but with severe hearing loss is I didn't expect to get, will the second shot save me or no effect? Despite 3-week onset, will there be improvement despite my odds is 1/3? What if I live like this forever? What if it really does work? If it really does work, I hope I can...

It has been a few more months with musical tinnitus. Now it only plays one song that my brain has made up, and it goes on all day. I listen to the car radio often to help cover it. I am going to see an ENT in January, which was the earliest appointment available. I have also developed an...

Hey! I also have dysacusis and palinacusis, and I think they are connected. Dysacusis manifests as an overtone in relation to noisy sounds such as traffic, fans, showers, electric kettles, and things like that. It is usually a high-pitched overtone, but sometimes it gets lower in frequency, and...

I actually have a theory about this. If the device truly works, consider the lived experience of Group 1 (active treatment first) and Group 2 (sham treatment first) during this period. If the device is effective, Group 1 experiences improvement while Group 2 does not during the first six...

Trump will address the situation after the baby has his nap time. Dozy Don asleep again!

I’m curious about these tests myself. I’m tired of hearing about them from doctors. In my experience, the tests are unreliable and harmful to the patient in every way. The results often show that everything is fine when, in reality, it’s not. They end up blaming it on the psyche, confusing...

Hey Gabbie. Just saw your post from earlier. I believe as long as your Dentist is fully aware of the situation and you have good ear protection then all should be fine.

Look into laser root canal. Talk to your dentist about whether he can do that, or shop around for one who can. Also, keep in mind that the suction thing they use for saliva is also incredibly loud. Maybe ask if they can avoid using that as well.

Hi, I have suffered from tinnitus and hyperacusis for about 25 years. I need to have a root canal treatment or an extraction, and I am worried about the effect of all the drilling involved, as well as the stress. Could it make my condition worse?

And after a horrible few days I come to my once a month easily manageable morning buzz day (natural hormone fluctuations I guess) where I sleep like the before times and my pain and pressure settles for a few hours... I could easily live a normal happy life and feel very much like my old self...

A lot of screen time definitely increases my tinnitus symptoms.

I wanted to make a post here to say that I have the exact type of tinnitus most of you are describing. It’s a high-pitched ring combined with a low buzz that I can stop by plugging my ear, shaking my head, or listening to a fan. The ring stays no matter what, but the buzz can disappear briefly...

Harmless for healthy ears, maybe. Read into Megan Beer Wood's work.

how old are you

Is there any long term medication i can take for my panic attacks and anxiety im scared i might harm myself (jumping out from my window etc.) i am fairly suicidal can anyone help me please?

Quotes and sources to back this, please.

Hi everyone, I can hardly believe I’m writing this, but after three months of dizziness along with the buzzing in my ear, I’m finally better. I tried every possible option, and it turns out that my C2 vertebra in the upper neck was misaligned. Read about the effects this can have on the...

I just want to let you all know that I can now successfully watch TV at volume 15 without my tinnitus competing with the sound. No more crickets in the background. It also no longer competes with my fridge when it turns on or makes noise to adjust the temperature. Now it competes with my heat...

How are you doing now, @Sonia554?

Hi Tracey, I am 65 and have permanent high-pitched tinnitus. Mine developed gradually from hearing loss and eventually became permanent. I’ve been told by more than one doctor that there’s no cure, but there is help. I’m now debating whether to go to a tinnitus clinic to see if they can offer...

Well, I went today, and unfortunately, nothing changed in the audiology results. Another doctor gave me another steroid shot because he believes my hearing might improve since I mentioned that I can hear my own voice better. But the delay is so long, and it really sucks to live with severe...

Hi Sonia, I found out the emergency room Doctor misdiagnosed me, it seems not Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, but my nerve unofrtunately

Update 10: It turns out my hearing loss isn’t caused by Eustachian Tube dysfunction after all. I was misdiagnosed by the emergency room doctor. The first steroid shot didn’t show any improvement, although I did notice that I could hear my own voice better. Another doctor gave me a second shot...

You would want to know if your hearing aids are programmable to increase only frequencies where you have hearing loss. For example, I have moderate hearing loss at 4250Hz +/- 250Hz. I would want to increase the volume just in this range. In both ears. I also have catastrophic hearing loss...

Most credible sources will tell you that a few seconds of exposure to sounds in the 80 or even 90 decibel range is harmless to your hearing. I’ve experienced aural fullness, pain, and tinnitus from sounds like that, but I don’t know whether it means I have actual hearing damage. According to...

Hello @Cmspgran . Setback again. What's been occurring? Found anything useful? Patches trialled again?

No.

Out of curiosity, do antihistamines affect your tinnitus? I was told that at low doses, Mirtazapine acts like an antihistamine.

There's no point in cutting and pasting TFI statistics because I'm only focusing on loudness reduction. Also, we don't need hunches, hope, or mystery. We need hard data. One breakthrough in Susan Shore's work lay in the fact that it would finally (as much as possible by today's standards in...

A novel approach? Outside-the-box thinking? Uncovering every last stone? But just wait for the statisticians to sift, sort, and parse it. In my view, since noise damage is clearly and unquestionably the most frequent trigger of tinnitus, maybe tinnitus is the cause of the changes in the gut...

Business, profits, investing, yadda yadda... just get rid of this damned ringing already.

It’s generally not recommended for hyperacusis. However, it can help reduce tinnitus in certain cases.
