Hi, I'm new and wondering how it's going with the T. Have you gone back for a repeat of the acupuncture? My T might be due to head trauma, I'm not sure. First stop for me will be ENT but first available appointment is May 1 :-( . After ENT, next stop will be acupuncture. Curious, if you still...

Hey @Brooklyn NY Thank you for your thoughts. My ear does feel a bit better although my tinnitus is through the roof and freaking me out. I had a noise trauma recently (loud bell) which has messed up my tinnitus and hypercausis and my head is just so full of screeching. I’m trying my best...

tinnitus and especially hyperacusis with pain seem to develop almost exclusively in hearing loss, tinnitus has some exceptions but not hyperacusis with pain outside of head trauma.

I am not sure who "they" is. The biggest factors in determining inner ear tinnitus outcome is related to etiology (acoustic trauma, presbyacusis, ototoxicity, head injury, infection, etc.) and symptomatology (continous ie. 24/7, on/off, decreasing-increasing over time). Sudden onset of tinnitus...

Hi oceanofsound26, Thank you for taking the time and reading my post. Sad indeed and scary. I am hoping my post will reach others to help them understand what it is like if they're just experiencing this or have already. I have researched Labyrinthectomy as this is what I will be having in a...

Maybe you’ll have to wait a year or so to see improvements, people do improve whether it be ototoxic meds or noise trauma. I have talked to a lot of folks with ototoxic damage, some say they get better after 6 months, some took more time. You really just have to figure out what helps and try to...

...but I am also now being tested for SCDS. Also post concussive syndrome can cause tinnitus and hyperacusis...not saying you have a concussion but head trauma can mess with your ears. Hopefully it's just a short lived spike. Be well @Lisa88 glad to see you've made progress (despite a little...

Yep, same with me. Seems pretty common. My T is from head / neck trauma, and not my ears. I suspect something touching up against my auditory system. Maybe increased blood flow to an inflamed muscle. Overall, I feel exercise is good for me. Do you know the cause of your T? If I put an ice...

Hi - I recently got tinnitus in my left ear that the ENT diagnosed as acoustic trauma induced. The tinnitus has been slowly improving over the past couple of months. But since last week I have been hearing cricket like noises whenever I hear external sounds like fans, fridges etc. These sounds...

I am sorry you are having a difficult time. Even I got T from a head trauma last year in March. No there are no answers for head trauma related T like any other type of T. Neuros and ents are a waste of time. Nobody understands tinnitus and they don't give a shit about it. Period. I have left no...

We tend to forget exactly how things were... But I was in a bad place for a long time. Just moving my head on my pillow and hearing the sound of the sheets made me crumble. I couldn't stand the sound of running water or frying food. I remember going on a trip to a waterfall about six months...

...spike from the motorcycle ride. Lots of folks are wearing earplugs when riding as the motorcycles are loud, and helmets protect you from head trauma, but little in the way of hearing protection. Be sure to consistently protect from further noise exposure, deal with the TMJ issues, and these...

Barotrauma, ruptured ear drums and then ototoxic drugs inc antibiotic ear drops. I was olso hit in the head and had concussion shortly after as shown on a brain scan, I'm still dealing with post concussion symptoms as well, I think? It's been so long and not a lot has improved so not sure. I...

Thank you. I bought the Dandelion tea the same day and it seems to be doing something. I was able to get a telemedicine appointment with my neurologist late this evening and she prescribe me Topamax or Topiramate for the headache. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. I’m looking forward to...

My experience is that the head position can alter the feel of tinnitus just as your environment can. If you feel it’s better, then put on earmuffs and you might realise it’s just the same sounds you hear.

Hi, I'm Drew. I'm a 25 year old musician and writer. I don't know what else to do - I just need to tell my story to someone who will listen and maybe understand. On July 10, 2020 I was visiting my grandparents in Colorado. They live in the mountains, and we decided to go into town for some food...

I'm going to try to make this my last thread here, after this I'll be out of questions and just have to play the waiting game. That being said, I'm grateful for this community always being here when I feel hopeless and alone. :thankyousign: So, I have two main questions: From multiple success...

I agree with @Autumnly Although the ear and auditory system are delicate they are also quite resilient and have the ability to recover from quite severe noise trauma. When I first got severe tinnitus with hyperacusis 23 years ago, due to listening to music through headphones at too high a...

Yes, it's pretty common to ask for a head MRI when you have unilateral tinnitus/hearing loss that you can't attribute to anything (acoustic trauma, etc). This is done to rule out an Acoustic Neuroma, which is a benign tumor (that's what I think you refer to as "cancer"). The odds of having an AN...

@GhostyTMRS -- This sounds like potentially really good news. If you could get access to an HBOT chamber, I think that could be really good. There's not much else than can help heal brain and nerve trauma better than that. Except perhaps DMSO, which is used in conventional medicine to quickly...

Piracetam would always temporarily lower my tinnitus for about a day. But it has recently caused GI issues so I had to stop taking it. I never tried Betahistine. Vinpocetine never helped much. What kind of dosages are you taking of these?

Exactly another doctor thought if was an infection, and one jus said give it time it will go away. Also I was never exposed to any acoustic trauma or accidents to my head and neck, it started out of the blue after a party where I had too much to drink and there was no music there.

Hi Bryson. I’ve been following this thread as I’ve been on my own journey, eagerly watching how things worked out for you. I have a couple questions if you don’t mind? Sounds like you had a centralized head tinnitus and also a reactive tinnitus in you left ear, and the treatment stopped the...

Interesting. In my case the acoustic trauma was on my left side, and my left side was affected more. I had ringing in both ears but mostly the left, then over the course of a few months the tinnitus moved to my head where it has stayed.

It wasn't the cause of my tinnitus, but I have forward head posture. It turns out it's not such an easy thing to correct when you have more than 15 years of poor posture. I have other theories about what caused mine (I think it's more than just bad practice for me).

Same but I haven't experienced any more hearing loss since my last accoustic trauma. Actually what you just said kind of matches up with the type II afferent theory going on in the FX-322 thread right now regarding hyperacusis.

I had head trauma back in January and two weeks later my tinnitus arrived. I went to my neuromuscular dentist who advised I have bruxism and a slight misaligned jaw. He stopped short of saying this is what's causing my tinnitus, but advised it's possible. I'll be using a dental orthotic at...

Thanks for the advice, only a certain select of friends are loud and yes I have had an audio gram of my hearing and it was viewed by an ENT who said it seems all fine. I will choose to keep quiet about my condition as many people know about it but not all, will avoid those certain people though...

Thank you Greg. I’ve been working out for the past few months, doing bench pulls, pull-ups etc, my neck was stiff, my traps would get sore and I would resort to stretches. I had an instance of tinnitus for 5-10 seconds few weeks prior, where I made a sudden neck movement to the right while lying...

Yeah true. It's just weird because I worked out for literally four years and my tinnitus never changed. It started getting worse when I started lifting over 450 pounds. I hope I didn't damage anything.

Most likely it will fade in time, but it may take many months.

Thank you for your reply @Red - sorry, I probably wasn’t being very clear. My head is all over the place, quite literally. It was more of a hearing distortion - like I’ve never had before... I guess I’m just thinking that the noise trauma has caused more damage which in turn has caused the...

Yes I think my tinnitus is somatic. It gets louder when I massage my neck for example. She told me to massage the top of the muscle which goes all the way down my neck behind my ear. I think it's called the SCM muscle and she told me that my pterygoid muscle was tight especially on the left side...

Hello @Gman! My Tinnitus started immediately after I was rear-ended from behind. I was completely stopped and there was an SUV in front of me...a 16 year old driving a commercial box truck hit me at 45 mph and sandwiched me into the SUV in front of me, which was also stopped. My SUV was...

Hello :D Steve here, 58 male. My tinnitus started with the casual and gently "weeee" sonic noise at about in 1985. Hardly noticeable till you rest your head on the pillow for a good night's sleep. Years later, at about 1998, I started getting an much louder oscillating crescendo of "weee"...

Wow. This is apparently super rare. From a brief literature search, the only treatment I was able to find discussed was treating ETD which is apparently an underlying cause. Or if it was post trauma (e.g. tonsillectomy), possible repeat surgery. Is there a specialist for this condition you...

A bolshie know it all attitude towards a doctor will get a person absolutely nowhere. I have never had a problem with a GP. I have a very good rapport with my ENT consultant. She helped me a lot when I was going through a very difficult 4 years, caused by a second noise trauma.

It was just a thought. I’m on a couple BP medications. I know how despondent people get with loud noise in their head. Better to let the Dr. know if you are dropping a BP med. You never want to risk having a stroke.

Ishank, No idea how/what caused my severe chronic T????? No loud music, no trauma, no stress. Just woke up one morning with it. Has remained about the same high level of volume and high pitch ever since onset , with exception of a few wonderful spikes like I am experiencing now during a...

@Mathew Gould There can be good or bad results with device that you point out in post above to place a curve back from a straightened C spine from forward neck injury. Constant pressure on neck muscles may end up straightening C spine more. If one's atlas is tilted to one side, device can do...

The zygomatic process is a protrusion from the rest of the skull, like the bumper of a car. If you are wearing double protection - ear plugs and part of the time headphones in an environment of 80 - 85 decibels, that should bring the sound level down to a safe level. So it's not dangerous...

Not all doctors know how to diagnose or treat these conditions. It is easy to say "everything is OK" especially if patients cannot prove their symptoms (some holes are not visible on CT, nystagmus is present only with vertigo, not with subjective dizziness, not with derealisation or a loss of...

Apnea is listed in the longest list of "probable causes of tinnitus" lol but i dont know... i percieve my T both, ear (left one), head....sometimes... and also sometimes t switches ears lol.

She had a gym injury, excessive straining while lifting, and she started having head pressure/headache immediately and tinnitus a few days later, so it is not clear if it started because of the diuretic she was put on or because of the actual injury. But: After a month she felt better and she...

...meds. I also smacked my head and had concussion days after the ear thing. I had a scan done about a year later, they pinpointed the head trauma and said the injury was still there, and not healing. I don't know, a combo of these things I guess. Why things are progressing still, not sure. I...

No, that's not true -- if it was, they would be excluding ~80% of people with tinnitus, since Salvi in the 90s determined that's roughly the percentage of people who can modulate their head noise with muscle movements. The actual exclusion criterion says Sounds to me like they are just trying...
