    Hyperacusis / Reactive Tinnitus / Hearing Distortion

    I think the terms need to be better defined and dysacusis and hyperacusis not assumed to have one cause. This is as much as a researcher issue as a layperson issue. Anyway, research has shown there is a phenomenon of "central gain" that occurs after hearing damage especially adjacent to the...

    Hyperacusis / Reactive Tinnitus / Hearing Distortion

    ...exposure does not do a thing to my dysacusis, it fluctuates on its own. I have wild pressure changes just from the slightest changes in altitude or even head position. My dysacusis is mathematically related to it, it fluctuates with the pressure changes. I also have vertigo and facial pains...

    ...time have been the high-pitched "eee" which you're experiencing and a feeling of blocked eustachian tubes similar to when you're in a high altitude or flying in a plane. I don't feel pressure but the ears won't completely unblock. As far as Ayurveda, I tried a combo of Yograj Guggulu and...

    Feel Like I'm Running a Marathon with This... Needing Some High 5's from the Crowd!

    ...seems to help to lift my mood.... can I ask... would anyone know or have they experienced a spike in their t because of being at a higher altitude and it being really windy?! . Suppose I'm just no where near habituation as this affects me so much and I hear it all the time. Right now, my...

    In Serious Need of Comfort

    ...as someone else here suggested. Follow the directions on the box; read them in advance. You take the Earplanes out when you reach cruising altitude and then can pop in foam plugs or use noise cancelling headphones to cut the noise from the plane. Put the plugs back in about 30 minutes/one...

    Ear Ringing Started 9 Days Ago...I Don't Know How to Cope

    ...from that resulted a bit of head congestion without fluid. During that time we went camping and my boyfriend and I drove down to a lower altitude, which is when I started to feel a bit woozy in the head. At the campsite I felt a bit nautious (about 5 min) and recovered. We spent two days...

    Tinnitus from Peripheral Neuropathy / Levofloxacin

    ...the Eustachian Tube inflammation would be cured. The blockage was very hard with my ears hurting with all little pressure changes as 200 m altitude changes by car. I undergone Sinus/Turbinate Surgery in November 2020 to help healing the inflammation. Today the inflammation is mostly cured, I...

    The Trifecta: Aural Fullness, Hyperacusis, and Tinnitus

    ...If I go up a fast elevator (e.g. 30 floors), I will feel my ears block up like normal, I swallow a couple of times and it relieves the altitude pressure, but there is still this other pressure that is there that won't release. It almost feels like it is a bit deeper, or a slightly different...

    I'm So Angry!

    ...used to wear earplugs while driving on the highway but I noticed that my ears hurt, got full and popped when I took them out. I don't want to risk with altitude barotrauma. But unexpected sounds happen. I am going to wear comfortable earplugs while driving. What earplugs do you wear when...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    ...multiple times/second. I've never experienced something like this so far. Majority of these were painful. After the plane reached to max altitude, the poppings became reasonable, at least the pain associated with them was gone. The descent was roughly the same, i sighed and did nothing about...

    Tinnitus Kicked Off by Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, Ear Popping

    Silence Is a Gift

    ...Other times the tinnitus sounded like a “roaring” noise, or the constant white noise sound one hears when in an airplane at cruising altitude. I assumed the cause was the cold/fever I had suffered, but I always wondered whether it also could have been caused by a loud white noise machine...

    Tinnitus and Full Feeling in Ears (LPR?)

    Severe Tinnitus Seemingly from Using NeoRhythm PEMF Device

    No Clue What's Going On: Could Clonazepam Have Contributed to My Tinnitus Getting Worse?

    ...I'm 25 years old and my tinnitus started in December of 2016. I was driving to a doctor's appointment and went through some higher altitude areas, popped my ears by yawning as I normally would do. I didn't notice the noise until I was in the quiet of the exam room, but it hasn't left me...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    ...there may have been a little air in the injection as I felt something similar to the pain that anyone who has flown with a cold at high altitude might feel when the pressure finally breaks loose. It was not intense and at no time did I ever feel pain that I would rate over a 1. In fact I'm...

    Theory: ETD the Root Cause of Somatic Tinnitus

    ...deprivation was when I had an actual pressure equalization that seemed to last. That happened only when I was driving to a slightly higher altitude or that the car had uhm, air conditioning but not from the engine, just “air blowing from outside”, it’s some stupid feature. The fact is that it...

    Question Regarding Vaccines (And How Many of Them Contain Neomycin Antibiotics)

    ...it is not foolish and irresponsible to eat salad, to drink Coke, to take ibuprofen, to chew a Hershey bar, to live up in the Rockies at altitude, and to put spices in foods. If we constantly ruminate about the future, we will be unable to take full advantage of the present - not only to...
