Hi @TheDanishGirl , thanks for the interesting post, let us know how it goes, I consume a lot of dairy and have somewhat tolerable but unpleasant...

Very well spotted! I think the song probably is about Tinnitus. I'm a lifelong Radiohead fan but somehow I've never heard this song, admittedly I...

I had Tinnitus, quite bad for the first few months after my acoustic shock from exposing my ears to stupidly loud music at a nightclub a few years...

Hey Jack, I almost pulled the trigger to shell out for WNGs earlier this year. My girlfriend was shocked at the cost (circa 3500 euro) and...

Thanks a lot for this information. This gives me hope. I have H (and what seems to be TTTS) for almost three and a half years and it's barely...

I'm just about to order the following devices and some programming sessions. https://valuehearing.com.au/hearing-aid/widex-unique-220-passion/ I...

Thanks @Michael Leigh for the reply. Yes I agree with you that the kind of sound enrichment I am currently using probably will not help all that...

@Michael Leigh Thanks for your comment above Michael. I have a related question. I recently bought the S-650 and am using it most nights, I have...

Hi @Sen, are you still using these noises to help your ears and have they improved since you started with this?

I was about to buy one of the Sound Oasis Sound Machines but now that I think about it, my other half will also give out stink to me if I have a...

Contact Michael Leigh, he knows a lot about such things and about ear problems in general, and is very helpful....

I take Curcumin from Solgar, it's expensive but it does seem to help somewhat. I would say it reduces the pain and discomfort in my ears by about...

Hey @Felix Dujardin, they are kind of improvised hearing aids, and are not used to help your hearing in this case, but to play certain tones of...

f&cking TTTS in my left ear, so uncomfortable, the H I can mostly handle, not this though, looks like expensive WNGs are only possible cure.

struggling with bad ear fullness,pressure,clicking in my left ear and a little in my right too.

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't looked into this, although I was with an osteopath a couple of years ago and asked him about my ear problems...

I'm not an expert by any means, but my audiometry results don't really indicate ETD, they point moreso towards TTTS. The pain I have has subsided...

Yes, anything which causes negative ear pressure is going to cause pain. But negative ear pressure (which I have in one ear ) is associated with a...

@Yashin Many thanks for all of this information. This is really useful. It makes sense now that the Hyperacusis-like symptoms come from TTTS and...

Hi @Adam L , from what I recall, it was a high pitched sound initially, but gradually it changed from that to a kind of 'bristling/rustling'...

This pdf is quite useful for anyone with T/H and suspected TTTS due to ASD. The last line is what I'm banking on (and I've seen this said in other...

Well, while I didn't have a sudden acoustic shock, I did have an hour long or so ridiculously loud speaker playing music not far from my head,...

Thanks @dingaling. I remember going in for those tests and I'm almost certain I was not doing any Valsalva or any other techniques to try and...

I haven't located my Tympannometry results from 2016, so I need to contact my original consultant re getting those sent out to me. However I did...

Hi @dingaling, I need to look them up, have them at home, but I remember the ENT saying my Tympanometry results were normal. Not sure that I had...

Many thanks @Yashin, this is really useful information. From reading your descriptions above, yes it does point moreso to TTTS than ETD. I do...

Thanks for replying @Yashin Answers to the questions: 1) I saw two consultants, the first diagnosed me with Recruitment, but the second (better...

Hi @Yashin, thanks a lot for your reply on this. Now that I think of it, I did self diagnose with ETD, but when I went to the consultant, and...

Hi Rick, Thanks for the reply. I will check your success story now. The nasal spray did nothing for me unfortunately. I have another appointment...

Hi Rick, my ear specialist (consultant) has identified me as almost definitely having ETD. I also have Hyperacusis but it affects me less than...

@Juan Do you know if any improvements in H (whether just due to time or through the use of WNGs) will also see a reduction in ear fullness? My...

So I have another ENT appointment tomorrow in Dublin. Am hoping this guy will be better than the last one who offered little in the way of help or...

@Flamingo thanks for your story and good to hear you're recovering! can you give some examples of classical music pieces with this kind of wide...

@Paul10 Interesting re Dymista, haven't heard of that one, but I've been trying Flixonase daily for the last week or two (using the special...

Thanks to both of you for replying. I've just bought some Flixonase and will try it for a number of weeks to see if it helps (with the eustachian...

I've also read recently about Vitamin A's potential benefits, particularly for ETD. It certainly helped this person, she also used some Zinc and a...

Hey, thanks for the good wishes My H is still there, although some days it doesn't bother me unduly as am not in loud(or high frequency sound)...

Not sure if my hearing was affected, perhaps slightly. Yes 'elevated middle ear pressure' is a good description of what it felt like. The exercise...

@Coyotesheaven Here's the video clip I was referring to: [MEDIA]

I've always been able to do this as well, but only recently realised what it was that I was doing. In an effort to try and improve my eustachian...

Thanks to all of you for the very useful and informative contributions in this thread. I've learned quite a bit just from reading this thread...

Hey @MC in NC. I'm sorry to hear that brother. Just to share with you a bit, my story, as I think it will help you. I'm 44 so a good bit older...

Hi Jay_Dee63, this procedure you're referring to, is it using a grommet for the affected ear? Or was it some other kind of tube? I have PET and am...

Hi @Enzo312, can you let me know if your PET improved from doing the activities you menioned (coffee, diet, music, etc)? Thanks

Hi @beeeep, am not sure what you mean by this, is it that your PET can get worse if you do nasal irrigation and the Valsalva manouevre?

Hi @Dana, I hope you're right. I didn't know what I had as no consultant seemed sure, but having researched it myself, it looks very much like...

@Emmi, I have something similar. At this stage I'm pretty sure it's a condition called 'Patulous Eustachian Tube'. How to cure it though, well...

@Steve Thanks for the info Steve. My T gradually faded away after about five to six months, but the H is still there, albeit not as pronounced as...

@April yes he has already done some manipulation of bones in my neck area but also in my pelvic/very lower back area as he believes that a...

Am wondering if it's worth getting this to help my Hyperacusis (my Tinnitus is practically gone now). I will be in Switzerland soon and I think...

I think it's down to what level of each(T and H) you have. I know that when my T was at it's worst, it was truly horrible, incredibly...

It's hard to say, I think you have to hit it from all sides, supplements, regular exercise, sleep, good clean diet, relaxation techniques,...

@erik Are there particular mobile apps that you would recommend for pink, brown and white noise? My hyperacusis is probably about 20-25% better...
