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.

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 it mild since a child. Got bad I believe through noise exposure at work over the years. Sudden worsening in late thirties. But I do also have tmj and some facial nerve pain at times which could contribute to it.

Yes it will go down, when I got my second acoustic trauma while doing that ovemp test. My T went from a 2 to a 10, literally I had a huge engine sound in my head and I felt like my head will burst open. That reduced from 10 to a 7/8 where I am currently, so give it time. You also have a second...

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...

...is listed in many professional articles. A bend forward neck from improper posture lifting, bending, dental procedure, accident with head trauma, muscle spasms and being under stress are all reasons for getting somatic tinnitus. Next on the somatic list is the jaw and problems in the mouth...

Well my good ear which started up 3 months after my trauma, is indeed the highest volume, but it has the most stable noises so I often don’t recognise it at all... Mine is like yours, when the noise gets to a certain sound/noise level it feels to be coming from the brain or better put from the...

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...

...you have a history of noise exposure, loud music, concerts, loud cars? Any medications recently that may have caused it? Any history of head trauma? Any genetic hearing loss in your family? There are rare cases where removing ear wax through irrigation can go wrong and damage hearing...

When I asked my ENT for a prognosis for my T (due to acoustic trauma), he said that the outcome of a concussion is impossible to forecast. He went on to explain that both conditions have to do with brain neurons, so recovery from T is also difficult to forecast. The reason I am bringing this...

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...

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...

Hey Thomas, I meant to comment earlier on your initial post. There are a couple parallels with what you're going through and what I've been going through. One, I have had low level tinnitus for years in both ears, nothing that bothered me much. In my case, I think it was due to having gradual...

@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...

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"...

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.

Hi Blane, Any exposure to loud sounds? Have you had any trauma recently to the head, face, or neck? TMJ? Have you been on an airplane recently? Any recent dental work? Have you been sick recently? If you go to the ENT, he/she will check your ears for wax build-up and you can also ask them...

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...

You need to tread carefully and not rock the boat. When I suffered my noise trauma 25 years ago, my whole head was completely numb. I could hear but it felt like my head was under water. I was so frightened I kept it to myself, so friends and family only knew I had tinnitus and hyperacusis. The...

...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...

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...

I'm glad I brought this out, and hope it explains the trauma the brain absorbed from the falls. We don't understand what happens but soon we feel the side effects from it. Stay strong.

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...

Well, @DeanD, my tinnitus had slowly been climbing between the ages of 13 and 19. Then 2009 saw me develop an ear infection off the back of a concert I attended. To this day I'm still uncertain of which event to credit more or less for my life as it is now. But it would seem my lifestyle was...

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...

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...

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...

...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...

Tinnitus is so frustrating. I remember this study in which Amitriptyline had been studied as a treatment for (and purportedly shown to improve) subjective tinnitus. Efficacy of amitriptyline in the treatment of subjective tinnitus

@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...

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...

@Tom_Tom, may I ask where are you at now with your buzzing? I have a very similar type buzzing but not all body shocks. Have you improved at all? Mine seems to be related to dehydration/dry mouth, but I am not sure.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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).

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.

When I developed tinnitus and hyperacusis 24 years ago I experienced many symptoms in addition to ringing and oversensitivity to sound - hyperacusis. The burning in the ears you have mentioned and on top of my head. The whole of my head felt completely numb as a result of my noise trauma for 6...

I used to get this every time, but now it only happens sometimes in the mornings if I've been lying on the side opposite where the main tone is occurring. It only started after a severe noise trauma back in June, so although the main tone is still there, it's more faint, and the related tones...

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...

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...
