What are the exact mechanisms by which muscle stiffness in the upper back/shoulder area causes tinnitus? My tinnitus seems to be 90% muscle-related. I recently experienced a very loud spike in my right ear, along with a "feeling of something blocking the ear canal" for two days. At first, I...

The concerts and regulations vary a lot. At least in Finland, if it's situated in urban area like these electronic music weekend festivals, I think the regulation is actually pretty low, like 75dB. That's doable even without plugs if you stay at the back, but I would add plugs for short volume...

If you have something like 35dB ear plugs, and you know the decibel levels and general regulations in your country well so you know where you're putting yourself, it will of course be safe. At 100dB concert/bar you would go below 70dB, that's safe to listen for hours. I think the stories about...

I think I will get myself an appointment and try to get it along with muscle relaxants. If the increased blood flow would give it tools to heal even a bit.

It's not ear pain, more of extreme irritation and stress response when even a car passing by or normal conversation situations causes the inner ear muscle to go insane and make everything distorted and crackling. I guess you could say it amplifies the sound internally to cause it to activate, I...

Has anyone tried Betaserc for hyperacusis? When I got my tinnitus in 2010 I was prescribed it, but it didn't have any effect. However now I have developed hyperacusis distorting everyday noises in the left ear, probably by a loud event with plastic boxes coming down next to me. It's been a few...

Is going to a doctor for hyperacusis as useless as with tinnitus? The best they can offer is "you're own your own" and maybe give some TRT papers to go with?

Yes, today I stretched out so it didn't act up at all - but now immediately after doing 3x 10 push-ups it's terrible again.

But why is it enabling or disabling itself with muscle tension?

Past month my left ear has become incompatible for normal louder conversations. The ear drum muscle will go insane and everything's distorted when someone talks loudly. Then I found out it is because of muscle tension, as it appeared same time I started doing push ups. When I stretch out my...

I've heard a story that goes the other way round, tinnitus was gone after being subjected to a rocket launcher blast.

Great news!

Are they still available? A game I want to buy is on humble currently, and I thought the humblebundle would be a damn nice way to raise funds. A proper campaign where you wouldn't have to search for it yourself, but it would be instantly selectable by everyone, would probably get some good...

If you can make yourself get up every morning to do a full time job I'd say you are very habituated. I can't even imagine doing that.

Bone gives more protection than earmuffs...

I wonder how many of these who wore plugs in concert and had T get worse inserted them wrong, assuming they're using foam plugs. It's very easy to not have them give full protection. I mean if youre in a outdoor concert blazing at 124db, 50m away from the speakers should mean around 90db, and...

Luckily I've only experienced a second of this once when I was really tired and went to bed. Just as the dark figures started forming I got so incredibly scared I jumped up. I'd probably get a heart attack if I had to experience it paralyzed there proper... damn.

What about Amoxin? I just finished treatment for sinusitis and my T is still louder even though other symptoms have been gone for days. Seriously, if this is permanent I don't think I can handle this, my old T took 3 years to start even feel somewhat acceptable.

Is it not possible to measure tinnitus by the activity of hearing nerves? I read on the other tinnitus forum about this guy who visited some belgium tinnitus clinic and they could see the tinnitus as electrical overactivity on the nerves.

You aren't taking 430mg, your body can only absorb a bit over 100mg per dose and everything else goes down the drain. You should be taking 3 times a day to actually reach even that 400mg.

Finally some real explanations related to my tinnitus.

I'm pretty sure we all have hearing loss, my tinnitus sounds higher frequency than the standard hearing test that goes only to 8000Hz, so even though I don't officially have hearing loss I'm pretty sure there is a dip there somewhere at 8001-20000Hz.

Using ear plugs all the time actually makes it worse and worse. The sounds aren't more damaging your ears even if they act retarded so just try to ignore it the best you can. I found that listening to white noise even at a very low volume gets rid of my hyperacusis while its on. If I stir a cup...

Basically it is pain, but the ears way of telling pain is emitting a sound signal.

I started a discussion about tinnitus on a military forum, and a guy who had had tinnitus for as long as he can remember, got his tinnitus to completely disappear after being accidentally exposed to a rocket launcher shot without wearing protection. Has anyone heard of similar cases? There are...

Not just pain, I got rid of my horrible social phobia because of tinnitus occupying my mind. I just don't care anymore to fear for little things like that now that I have a real problem.

Take a look at this, seems very easy and effective way to reduce stress hormones from your body, which will also keep tinnitus down of course.
