Separate names with a comma.
Did you get a hi-res CT scan done? I understand what you mean when you say no one is interested in your hearing loss: it took me persevering...
This is generally the rule indeed, but I am proof that it doesn't always follow this pattern. In my case, it first presented as SNHL as well, not...
Are your losses conductive or sensorineural? Have you ruled out otosclerosis?
Do you equalize the pressure on both sides of your eardrum when the airplane climbs or descends? You can do that by yawning or swallowing. I've...
Where is that list? Can you please share a link?
It seems to me that your tinnitus feels louder because your hearing is diminished. Once you heal and regain your hearing, I would expect your...
Yes, within a day or two of the last pills in the treatment.
No effect on tinnitus. But it did leave a horrible taste in my mouth.
This is a controversial topic and you will find many answers here. You also can search the forum for more posts about this. There is even a poll...
So they don't expect their mechanism to actually lower the volume of tinnitus? They hope that something else will take care of that later? I'm...
We don't just hear fundamental frequencies, we also hear harmonics. In the case of the human voice, the harmonics make for an important amount of...
I can't think of a reason why it would make a difference. The sound waves hitting your eardrum aren't that different if they come from a headphone...
The research I've read about this indicates that this is unlikely and that tinnitus has a physiological root cause. Unfortunately, the root cause...
Until we find a better way? I'm quite happy that we are not waiting for objective measurement before we deepen our research and knowledge. The...
No. My tinnitus is extremely consistent: always very loud, without any fluctuations, no matter what I do. Not that I can pinpoint, no.
My ears have always clicked when swallowing, even before my ear troubles. I don't know that it is an unusual feature of our bodies. When...
I'm in a similar predicament (cochlear otosclerosis) and have both conductive and sensorineural losses. My hearing was degrading very fast (from...
Looks good to me. I'm jealous!
I'm certainly curious to hear more about this, as antibiotics are a typical treatment for middle ear infections, if bacterial of course. Were you...
In theory, yes, but you've already stated that you've been around loud noise almost your whole life (since you were 16), so it is reasonable to...
Yeah that makes sense as a recovered sentence, but I'm wondering how they could not maintain a seal. Were they struggling when they did the test?...
It's a bit more nuanced than that: there are 2 kinds of "Sudafed" for congestion. One of them has been the target of the FDA's advisory. As far as...
I can't parse the grammar there - seems like most of the predicate is missing. Is it handwritten? Acoustic reflexes can be indicative of some...
2 questions: Did you have a perforated ear drum when you put the drops in? What did you get these drops prescribed for?
Not OP's as the solar system is not turned on. There is no current generation. No current means no EMF. They're just getting heated by the sun,...
I doubt your tinnitus has anything to do with your solar panels.
The way I look at it is that you have a "perfect audiogram" (almost). Clearly your hearing isn't perfect as you suffer from tinnitus. A perfect...
I was down with COVID-19 for a couple of weeks. I started Paxlovid almost immediately (on day 2) and turned negative pretty quickly (within a...
In my mind the logic goes the other way around: the increase in occlusion effect and pressure is positively correlated with how tight a seal they...
They do, but because what they emit is opposite from the external sound, the waveform that hits your ear ends up "flatter" (it's called...
Day 2 of symptoms here. Finally tested positive this morning. Started Paxlovid right away (i.e. around noon time).
I suppose that the difference is that, as an IV, Lidocaine gets into your blood stream, and therefore can reach your cochlea. As ear drops, it is...
MML is a different characteristic of your tinnitus. It can also be established, but it doesn't have to match your tinnitus volume. Here is some...
If I recall correctly, it was 55 dB above hearing level, which, coincidentally, is also 55 dB, so probably a masking stimulus around 110 dB?
There are certainly challenging scenarios. For example, in my case, my tinnitus can't be masked in a shower, but I still went through the MML...
This method is routinely used to measure tinnitus loudness (as well as MML - i.e. Minimum Masking Levels) with patients. There is an analogous...
Aren't you supposed to just leave it in for a few minutes?
It's surprisingly difficult to find the right terminology. Many of the live events today are not only transmitted digitally, but they're also...
The usage of the term "digital" is confusing then... it has a very specific meaning for audio, which is different from what you are trying to...
He also has a few things in common with folks in here: he had an acoustic neuroma and lost his hearing in one ear. Not sure if he has tinnitus...
Can you provide some pointers to that evidence? I'm curious to see how they define "habituation" in those studies, given how hard we struggle to...
Even if true, that only addresses the "safety bar". A medical treatment also needs to address the "efficacy bar", i.e. the treatment must yield...
Fair enough. That small piece was focused on Masaru Emoto's experiments on water, with claims that are very relevant to physics. After all,...
You may find useful info here: Wikipedia: Craniosacral therapy.
Yes, see Doubling Power vs. Doubling Output. Not "half as loud" different, but noticeable.
I'm afraid that isn't how CBT works, @Nick47 - please check out CBT on Wikipedia. In particular, there is no reason for CBT to "tell you" things...
What do you think CBT can help you with?
Same here. I was about the same age when I started wearing a hearing aid. It turns out that nobody notices it, actually (it's a "Behind The Ear"...
That is not just for you... it's for everyone. The higher the sampling frequency, the more high frequency sounds we can digitally capture, which...
There are many possible root causes. You can use this diagnostic flowchart to narrow it down.
After surgery you mean? It didn't really die down. It's just that it felt better when they removed the packing, as the ear was now able to hear...
He makes an interesting argument at 1:45. [MEDIA]
CBT and TRT are 2 different things. The former doesn't involve sound enrichment. The latter does.
That makes sense, but how did the doctor determine that the cause was a virus rather than bacteria?
What's the benefit of this "special needle" compared to the other traditional methods used for Dexamethasone injections, for example?
As far as I can tell, the sources you quoted are related to systemic ingestion of Ciprofloxacin, not ear drop application. The risk profile is...
PubMed has data you can peruse (for example here or here). Type "ciprofloxacin ototoxic" in the search bar and dig in.
That's what all medical professionals told me when I asked them (I asked my neurotologist, various ENT doctors, a few audiologists). It also makes...
