    First Post — 16 Years of Tinnitus and Now Middle Ear Myoclonus — Also Some Words of Advice

    One ear. Though since this issue started again I've noticed the left ear occasionally gets a quick jolt like spasm. Completely different feeling, as I believe it is the eardrum quickly shaking for a brief second as the feeling is very, very close to the outer ear, unlike the right ear vibration...

    Hello

    @attheedgeofscience Sorry to say, but it's really drives me mad when I read so much stupidity coming from a Tinnitus sufferer:mad: what is your next step on this matter, are you gonna tell me that all the people on this forum have exactly the same intensity/level of tinnitus that is to say no...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Yes, the mods should feel free to move the last couple of messages to their own "Stapedotomy details" thread. Actually no, it got infected. It almost never happens, but hey, almost never is not never. Topical antibiotic helped healing. That's nothing, it's just superficial. I'd happily trade...

    Tinnitus Tamer

    Just bought the tinnitus tamer , trying it now. Without using Tinnitus tamer and doing my own trials I have found that when I listen to my exact tinnitus frequency it disappears for maybe 2-3 seconds and then gradually fades back in. Not a very long time indeed but still , exquisite 2-3...

    Detinnitiser

    I've just downloaded the two different mp3s for $9. The first just sounds like white noise. It does the job of masking like most white noise generators do. The second one is a minute loop that you play on repeat. Every 6 seconds or so there are 3 seconds of short sharp bursts not unlike the...

    Amplified Frequencies. Does Anyone Else Have This Kind of Tinnitus?

    After the acoustic trauma incident, my hearing was in normal range, but the bad (heavy) ear did improve over the next few months (thresholds) compared to the first test. However despite taking supplements, and protecting my ears well, I developed SSNHL in the bad ear about a year later... so...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Yeah, I experienced this. However, before the trial round, mine was already fluctuating, where it would be loudest in the morning, and lower by evening. But after the injections I began getting fluctuating and fleeting T. Some days of silence, some days with low T. That has continued for the...

    Music at Low Volume — Safe?

    I feel like the fact that music varies in frequency and can have quite strong bass sounds means that this puts extra strain on the ears as opposed to ambient sound at the same volume. I always find that my T spikes when I listen to music for too long (1 hour or more) at low volumes. Bass-heavy...

    Cars/Motorsports

    I have a loud car too, unfortunately it's just a civic with a dumb exhaust on it (have wanted to return it to a stock one even before I got T). Anyways, I wear my earplugs if I am going to drive high speeds for awhile because the drone can mess with my ears. But when I get a new car I probably...

    I'm Baaaack...

    @SilverSpiral There was no "medical cause" of my T per se. I have a lot of high frequency hearing loss from noise and a bout of ETD that has never quite gone away. As or music, I pick and choose my battles. I am still involved in ways that I can protect my ears and still find fulfillment. If...

    Hopeless

    I find the worst part about my T is the feeling in my head, I can always feel it, I don't know how to describe that feeling. For me its a prickly feeling like neddles and electricity constantly moving around. One second it's behind my eyes, the next in my ear. I definitely feel mine as pain...

    Need Advice — Why Did My Tinnitus Got Really Loud?

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there is someone that can give me some advice. I have T since 15 Months due to a diving accident which cause high frequency hearing loss above 8khz everything is gone. I did take part in the AM-101 trails that sadly did not help. After that i started TRT...

    Screwed Up at a Concert — Recommendations for My Early Stage of Tinnitus?

    Ok, yet an other update. I went for another hearing test today, this time with a testing also in the 8kHertz-16kHertz. Turns out my hearing is almost pristine o_O. I also heard 15-16kHertz so clearly that there must be some hyperacusis there (not something I noticed during the day, as these...

    To Those With Severe Tinnitus

    Well... loud. So loud it´s ridiculous to the point i sometimes actually laugh about it. I have hearing loss in my sick ear, in speech/voice frequency. T is in three-four different tones, the loudest is about 16kHz. "The more you have hearing loss the louder the T feels", said one ENT. makes...

    Tinnitus Texture/Physical Feel in Addition to the Sound

    I think these are all valid although I can’t say any of them are similar to mine. My tinnitus feels like when someone plays something high pitched next to your ears and your nerves kind of itch for a second. I guess as people with physiological feedback we are in a rare subtype overall.

    Is Using an Earbud Bad for You?

    I wasn't personally recommended not to use them, but it was actually on another tinnitus forum. On the British tinnitus association forum, the tinnitus support contact there, Michael Leigh, wrote that it may be bad in some cases. I'll quote it here, in case you're interested to read it...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    Can Yelling/Shouting Make Your Tinnitus Worse

    This info should be available online, also I spoke to our audio director at work (who also have T) that told me the same thing. I understand your reason, didnt mean to criticize, I was sure you had a good reason for yelling, but yes, sometimes people can forget how much a yell can damage, so...

    Tinnitus Tamer

    Wow Karl! You are great at explaining that stuff! Thanks a bunch! I kind of get the concept and it absolutely may work. I am kinda chicken right now as I am doing so many other things and I don't want to get another tone added like before or intensify the T right now. I am working on it...

    SaluSTIM — tVNS Therapy Device

    It is worth quite a lot I think. Excellent find! It seems fairly OK now to say that if anyone wants to perform this treatment on themselves then they can do so very cheaply by buying a low cost TENS machine, the electrode suggested by ChrisJ (or similar), and by making notched sound files or...

    Pinpoint the Moment

    My T happened to me when I was 19. I was in the Army and serving in what was then West Berlin. My unit was training a unit from West Germany in how to fight in built-up areas. I was crawling through a tunnel when some one threw a hand grenade simulator (a very large fire cracker) in to the...

    Head Feels Pressurized

    My head and ears feel full. I don't know if this is the deafness and tinnitus or if my ears are not equalizing properly? My ears do crack when I swallow, but I'm pretty sure they have always done so, even when I had no ear issues. When I bend over or do push ups, my head and ears seem to roar...

    Newbie to Tinnitus and Need Any Help I Can Get

    Hey man, I have one more year of college (well, a year and one fall quarter) too and I know your pain. I got Tinnitus a month ago (prolly from a combo of listening to music a tad too loud, having very slight high frequency hearing loss from when I was a child, and ETD) and I'm still having a...

    Coming Into New Awareness

    So I am now past 4 weeks after the event and am off the prednisone. Overall, I think there is some hope and that the T is less than before. I’ve woken up with almost zero or T=0.1 the past three days, and mostly only had a high of T=1.0 or 1.5 (on my scale) lately. Even with some hope I have...

    Even Quiet Music Leaves My Ear Feeling Full

    A few weeks after I first got T I went to an ENT, who checked my ears and tested my hearing and told me that everything looks fine. I'm doing my best to ignore it in the meantime... Good to know that the sensitivity should get better with time. I actually listened to some more quiet music...

    Tinnitus Spike After Pfizer COVID-19 Booster Jab

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    Imagine if we went to paralyzed people and told them we could help their paralysis and we just wiggled their feet around and told them to get over it. Then gave them a bill for $5000. That's my view of TRT.

    Need Help Understanding Pulsatile Tinnitus

    This is my guess but I think the definition of PT is broad, if your T goes with your heart beat or blood flow then it is PT. I don't know if tonal PT is rare but I haven't heard from someone else having it. Classic PT is caused by turbulent blood flow near the ear, or blood flow that is too...

    Texas Roadhouse CEO Kent Taylor Took His Life After Battling Severe Tinnitus Caused by COVID-19

    Does Hearing Loss Keep Getting Worse?

    My hearing loss occurs mostly in the 4000 to 8000 HZ range. Really no loss in the low range or speech range. According to audiologist I have about 95 percent speech recognition. I have had hearing tests on a regular basis since about 1970 when I entered the military. I had about a 45 DB loss...

    Is It Safe to Attend Concerts with Ear Protection?

    Just curious about this. I have noise induced tinnitus since I was 17 from attending a metal concert in the front row for 4 hrs (I didn't realize you could damage your ears at the time) As in a young adult, I really noticed how much I missed music. I have attended two metal concerts (3-4hrs in...

    It's Not Your Hair Cells! It's the Stereocicilia and Resulting Ion Balance!

    Oh you got it! you said that earplugs change your T. If your T was from damaged hair cells, your T would go up with earplugs. No doubt about it right? your T should go up. AHAH MOMENT but what if it's not a permanently damaged hair cell what if the increased pressure from endolymph fluid...

    Hello

    All, Thanks for sharing your experiences. As bad as the hissing in my head is, the worst part is probably the anxiety of feeling alone in this experience, a feeling that is aggravated by doctors dismissing it because they cannot test for it or measure it. Initially my tinnitus was a loud...

    Tinnitus improved after travelling?

    ...for 10 days in the high desert -- 5000 ft., very dry climate (the opposite of Austin Tx). My sinuses opened, as did my ears, and the low frequency T that has been so distressing went away completely. Stayed that way until we got back to Van Horn, Texas. I got out of the car at a hotel and...

    Glossary of Tinnitus Sounds

    I've been on this forum for a few months now, and I noticed that people use different terms to define the sound of their T (e.g. fluttering, buzzing, tonal, etc.).

    Otoharmonics (The Levo® Therapy System for Tinnitus)

    Yes, numerous studies talk about tinnitus filling in the "edge" frequencies of hearing loss--rather than tinnitus being a homeostatic adaption to one's maximum hearing loss. But I don't believe this. If there is "filling in," I believe it's in the hearing loss region. Here is an interesting...

    Waxing and Waning of TMJ Tinnitus

    Hey @erik, That's certainly true. Though, again, I can silence the T completely by taking prednisone. I can also silence my T entirely if I shift my lower jaw in the direction of the ear that I'd like to silence. I just look really goofy, and it's kind of painful to do it. If hearing loss...
