    Outer Ear and Ear Pain When Stretching Neck

    I'm trying a stretching routine I found somewhere on here for somatic tinnitus. One of the stretches very oddly makes my ear go a bit numb, and it hurts while stretching. I put the link below. It should stretch the anterior scaling muscles. It feels really tight and it kind of gives a needles...

    How Much Force Should the Valsalva Manoeuvre Take?

    I mostly use this as an indication of how closed my Eustachian tubes are at the moment. Sometimes it hardly takes any effort at all, and at other times it won't work at all, even at the highest pressure I am comfortable with applying. My right side also tends to be more closed for some reason...

    Pulling on Earlobe and Massaging the Area Around the Ear Creates a Soap-Like Sound

    Hi, whenever I pull on an earlobe and kind of massage the area around my ear, it sounds like having soap in my ear. Like hearing tiny bubbles popping very close to my ear. I noticed this in one ear month ago, and now I can also do it with the other. It's not actually soap, I'm sure about that...

    Hyperacusis, Mostly Just for Quiet Sounds

Yet when it comes to low volume sounds, it tends to be worse somehow. Listening to a video in bed...

    How Could (Even Quiet) Noise Be Making My Tinnitus Temporarily Worse?

    Hi. Whenever I have noises around me, my tinnitus gets worse. Just temporarily though, and even for very mild noises, like from perhaps 30 decibels upwards. Usually the noise causing the increase in tinnitus masks the tinnitus, so I don't notice it, but today I was traveling in the train, and...

    What Influences Your Tinnitus?

    Hello friends, I was trying things to see if anything influenced my tinnitus. And to my surprise, pushing my upper jaw upwards (with my fingers or just by biting my jaws closed) increases the pitch and volume of my tinnitus quite a bit. More experimentation shows that pushing on my skull about...

    Hello! Does Anyone Share My Tinnitus Symptoms?

    Hello everyone! English isn't my native language, so apologies in advance if I sound weird. I've had tinnitus for over 4 years now. It started for no obvious reason at the time, and the doctor said nothing could be done. (Not that he did much to make that judgement, he only listened to my...
