    People with Dysacusis, Distortions or Loudness Hyperacusis — Describe Your Symptoms!

    If it's about any inner ear injury or inner ear condition that intracranial pressure elevation might cause or affect then it's not only about weight-lifting. It's about all kinds of excessive straining. Because for example once you had an implosive trauma (slap on the ear, loud blast, air travel...

    Could Ear Cleaning Cause Meniere's Disease?

    @Mila9828 We treated hundreds over the years with labyrinthine concussion which is a condition which occurs following trauma to the head and/or inner ear.

    Tympanic Neurectomy for Noxacusis

    Interesting. It does appear that this procedure has a high success rate for otalgia. It also seems that the side effects are not too bad. I will keep this in consideration for the future.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    No one, even scientists, knows the exact mechanism of noxacusis (pain hyperacusis). The Type II neurons theory is, after all, just a theory and needs further investigation. We don't know if Dr. Shore's device helps pain hyperacusis but let's hope calming DCN also regulates Type II neurons firing.

Is there a way to break that info down somehow so you could see, for example, most of the people who responded well to steroids got tinnitus from noise but not from some other cause. Or most people who didn't respond to Ginkgo, for example, got tinnitus as a result of a head injury.

    Head Injury

    Yeah, I think people suspect noise when it is not the cause, because they hear a sound. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) alone can cause tinnitus. Your auditory system includes nerves that extend into your brain. You may have suffered a concussion and not even know it. Tinnitus is just one symptom...

    I was stuck with a new bad employer and a stressful job for weeks before my head injury. Not sure if I have a physical cause or stress induced T. Though my GP told me that my concussion could have been a trigger for T after years of severe depression and anxiety. My guess would be that it's...

    Why Does Tinnitus Take Up to 2 Years to Go Away?
