Separate names with a comma.
Personally I don't believe in sound generators nor do I believe in total silence or TRT or even CBT. What I do believe in is time (lots and lots...
Last time I checked I don't owe you an answer but I'll indulge. As far as I can tell Brian is one of the unlucky few who gets this sh*t...
If people's success bothers you that much, then why reply to their post? Like someone said, you're the one in the wrong for sh*tting on their...
So posts like the above are acceptable? Who is @Brian Newman or anyone else to say those who got better were mild? And please quote where...
@sjtinguy, thank you for coming on and sharing your success story. The replies you got are why I generally don't bother posting anymore. God...
Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. When I was at my lowest (I'm talking rock bottom, ready to leave this mortal coil low) I promised...
Yay Guy Fawkes night. A T and H sufferers nightmare!
IMHO you'd be seriously unlucky for that to cause you hearing damage! I'd suggest it's more likely your ear doing what it's supposed to do and...
I read it more as @Aleph trying to be positive and trying to help the OP. Nowhere did he gaslight. In fact his argument was constructed of solid...
How can you say it's objectively wrong when no one fully understands the mechanics of hyperacusis? That's my point. And I believe that @Aleph was...
Why all the hate for @Aleph? The guy (or gal) comes on here with a solid argument and gets shot down in flames just because his ideas don't fit...
If it helps, I suffered an acoustic shock and am now much better. It just takes a very very long time. Almost 2 long horrible years in my case....
I'm almost 100% sure it's psychosomatic and involving the middle ear muscles which in turn irritate the trigeminal Nerve. Like you, if I hear a...
Hey Abbie, For starters your life is not ruined, not even close to ruined. Even if the hissing/ ringing sticks around you will get used to it....
Well I woke up this morning to less hissing and less ear numbness. I thought I was heading in the right direction. I was driving to work when a...
If i didnt have bad luck i'd have no luck at all. Rock hit windsceen of car and made my good ear ring for a second or 2. Really give up.
Well, no real change. Neck and face tension continue. Ear hisses all the time. No hyperacusis or noxacusis that I can tell. To make it worse,...
Aye, trying not to think about it but every fibre of my body is on edge again! If I felt this way with no obvious trigger then I think I'd be OK...
Hey, The whole thing has been very weird for me as I don't *appear* to fit into any kind of category. I can still listen to music, drive the...
Well I was doing great lol. Now my face is numb and I have some burning again after the compressed air incident. I'm hoping it's just my mind...
Hey. Sorry, I really wanted to write a success story but was terrified of jinxing my progress. I went from constant burning ears, even in...
Thank you :) You've set my mind at ease slightly which has relaxed me a little. That's exactly what happens. I hear a loud noise. Panic. Go into...
Hey, You may or may not remember me. I was the guy who got a possible acoustic shock from his brother's car. After almost 2 years I'd recovered....
Don't panic. Easier said than done I know. Chances are all you've done is impacted the wax, which diminished your hearing and made you more...
Funnily enough I've just got off the phone to the doctor. I came off Tegretol because I felt it wasn't helping and was put on Lyrica. The doctor...
Thank you for the reply :) I get horrible tension in my face, jaw and ear. Tonight I've taken another Lorezapam and it's all gone away. Someone...
I get the tightness even without sound. Wish someone would tell me what I've done so I can at least try find something to help. Feels very...
It's more the feeling of pressure I get in my face and head than tinnitus.... My tinnitus is basically non.existent. Just been for a walk and my...
High pitched sudden noise from my brother's car. It was apparently his faulty differential. The noise startled me. After that the symptoms built...
My very old tinnitus is from a single concert and a few years of unprotected ears riding motorbikes. I'm not sure I have hyperacusis... Sounds...
I'm sorry it doesn't work for you :( My hyperacusis or whatever the hell I have has always felt very muscular in nature so I wonder if the muscle...
I just took Lorozepam and 75% of my symptoms have gone away! Gone from sitting on the sofa with ear feeling discomfort and tingling to feeling...
Lorazepam took all my horrible ear symptoms right down. Tingling and aching are almost non existant. I know this isn't a long term solution.
Hey, I'm on Lyrica for face, jaw and ear pain. Have loads of tingling in my ear and fullness. Doctor thinks trigeminal neuralgia (I know it...
I'll never make it 2 years.
Hey guys, 14 months of ear problems from an acoustic shock and possible Valsalva and I think I've reached the end. I've tried before and...
I have the same problem with pressure and pain. I really believe mine is caused by the middle ear muscles tensing. At its worse I can feel the ear...
Tensor Tympani muscle I'd guess. I should contract before speaking, eating etc so you don't hear your voice etc loud in your head. Mine makes a...
Try your best not to expect it to get better day by day. Your just setting yourself up for upset. Ear problem progress is usually measured in...
My symptoms have changed over the year. I used to have constant burning and fiercer aching. Also more fullness and tingling. Now I have constant...
I've had the same problem for a year now after an acoustic shock. It started out as a bit of fullness and developed into jaw pain, ear pain,...
Very glad to hear it :) Totally agree with the relaxing round sound... I had a great weekend after been neutral to sound etc... Back to work and...
How are you doing now? I have a lot of these symptoms. The line is very blurry between ASD, ETD and Trigeminal Neuralgia. I've had symptoms for...
@superworm, stop blaming yourself :) There was no way you knew riding with earplugs was going to give you tinnitus. Just as there's no way you'll...
Hi, For starters, don't blame yourself. I rode for years as a teenager with no earplugs. It was only when I got tinnitus after a concert that I...
Hey, Thanks for the reply :) My audiogram is perfect with very little change from 5 years ago. However, my right bad ear just feels bad all the...
Hi John, I have very similar problem which I have also put down to TTTS. I was exposed to a second of loud high frequency noise which triggered...
Hi, When a single-sided hearing loss is suspected, most doctors will perform a hum test. Basically you hum and if you hear the hum clearer in the...
Not really. My jaw and Eustachian tube do pop on yawning. I also can't pop my right bad ear by soft Valsalva. However, I've read that's common...
My understanding is the Tensor Tympani muscle (at this point in spasm) innervates the Trigeminal Nerve which in turn causes pain in the branches...
Hi, I've been suffering with a variety of symptoms for nearly a year brought on by my stupid brother's car. When he pulled off, I was exposed to...
Hey, I've had ear pain, jaw pain and constant fullness for almost a year now. Brought on by 2 seconds of high pitched noise from my idiot...
Be very very careful with this! Read up on kiss of deaf... The suction can cause irreversible damage by pulling on ear drum, ossicles and inner...
Don't do it. An ex colleague of mine was a rampy and ended up with hyperacusis and tinnitus from years of Jet engine noise. I work at an airport...
Hi, I'm suffering the same with ear pain. This has been an ongoing issue for me now for almost a year. It started after a loud wheel spin and...
Hey, Same problem here. It started after 2 seconds of subjectively loud noise (wheel spin). I have had jaw ache and burning ever since. That was...
Hi, I'm in exactly the same position! 10 years ago I got ear pain, fullness, jaw ache etc from a jet engine. It lasted 5 long years 24/7 until...
@Benjaminbb, I know you're right and for a few months I accepted it... Pain and all but then I slipped back into bad thought pattern. I think...
How are you doing now mate? I fluctuate from doing OK and coping to the pits of despair. I think it's improved over the year but I'm not back to...
Hey, You've described my ears perfectly! In fact you have pretty much the same story as me! Left ear has always been my better ear. When I cover...
