@jjflyman, thanks for the update! It's great to hear that you're doing well. I am starting to habituate. There are times where I forget about it,...
Hey @GH123, thanks a lot for posting your story. I think the stories where people go back to normal lives even though they don't recover...
@jimH, you've had T for more than 30 years? Wow. Now ten months seems like nothing in comparison.
Ten months today. I'm happy that most of the people who were new when I joined the forum have moved on. A little sad that I haven't.
If you want, you can message me under "Inbox" and then "Start a New Conversation". That way you will not be limited to 140 characters and you can...
Yes. I've had this since about three weeks after this whole thing started. You may want to ask the dentist to check for TMJ symptoms. Also...
It was never an issue for me before the acoustic trauma. It didn't even start immediately, but rather about three weeks after the initial event....
Hey @Elinor, what would be an example of a cause for chronic ETD? My ears still occasionally feel full almost ten months after the initial...
Thanks for coming back to give us an update! I'll consider your advice when I fly at the end of the year.
You remind me of this post: Bee Sting Eventually Stopped My Tinnitus. Your case may just be a coincidence, but I really hope it's gone for good.
Enjoy your trip and let us know how the flight went! :)
Same here, for me the feeling of fullness started about three weeks after the initial noise exposure. It's more than nine months now, and I still...
Take magnesium glycinate if you can. Try to avoid magnesium oxide, because let's just say it's also used as a laxative.
Hey @Melike, thanks for your reply. I hope this is the beginning of some real improvement for you. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of...
@Melike, how were you diagnosed? I went to the dentist and he said I don't have any signs of TMJ, but I have jaw pain and clicking sounds in my...
My way of dealing with that is to keep some Peltor X5A's somewhere easily accessible in my apartment, that way I can grab and put them on before I...
Awesome! Sounds like you may yet make a full recovery in time :) How is the ear fullness, has that improved too?
I hope it calms down soon. The past month has been especially good actually, I have no idea why I woke up to much louder T this morning.
On Sunday it was so quiet I couldn't hear it even while plugging my ears, then again today it's the most bothersome it's been since July.
Hey @Santiago Biagi, my audiogram looks almost exactly like yours. My biggest dip is 15dB in my right ear at 1kHz. Regardless, the ENT still...
Thanks for the link. How is that device different from just doing the Valsalva maneuver, though?
Hey @TheDanishGirl, don't be so hard on yourself. I'm already more than eight months in (so twice as long as you) and I only very rarely forget...
That sounds horrible. Your noise exposure is fairly recent though, there is still a chance that things will improve for you. It's difficult to...
I've never really thought of myself as an anxious person, and up until this I've usually been good at handling stress from work etc. I have to...
I may ask him about this. Have you had this done?
Hey @Reinier, thanks for posting and that's a really good question. I did some searching, and I came across this article from 2016 (emphasis...
Thanks for the information! I suspected that the ENT won't actually be able to see into my Eustachian tubes. I had a test done that I think was...
Hi everyone, it's hard to believe it's already been seven months since I joined this forum, and eight months with tinnitus. I've received great...
Very well said! That's exactly how I feel too.
Hey @jjflyman, a few weeks ago I was sure that it was fading, but now it seems to back to the same level as before and I haven't noticed any...
Eight months now, and I'm still struggling to accept this as my life from now on.
Two weeks ago I thought it was fading for sure and I even enjoyed brief moments of silence, but it's now back to the same level as before.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure that they'll survive this. From the article linked above (emphasis mine): I interpret the above as that they'll...
I think that's the key. I don't think artificial intelligence will necessarily be better than humans at discovering drugs for chronic illnesses,...
@Salih, this may sound dumb to you, but I'm really not sure. Back then I would obsessively listen for it, these days I almost never listen for it...
Hey @Salih, it's not completely gone, but to be honest I don't really think about it anymore. Sometimes I can still hear a whistling from the car...
Yes, it's the Ninja Professional 1100 Watt. Even though it's seriously noisy, I didn't experience it as uncomfortable at all wearing Peltor...
I ran my blender (with earmuffs), and it maxed out at 100dB according to SPLnFFT. There was a time I would run it every day without issue.
That article has been discussed over in this thread. Unfortunately, I would treat that article with a healthy dose of skepticism. Otologic...
Does anyone have more information on this? Otologic Pharmaceutics hasn't had a press release since 2014:...
When did you first start noticing improvement?
Very happy for you my friend. Please continue to post updates. I'm seven months in (same cause as you) and I think I'm finally starting to see...
The feeling of fullness in my ears started a few weeks after the noise exposure, and it's still there after seven months. The ENT checked my...
Did it just suddenly go away for you, or was it a gradual process? Can you remember how long it took? I'm going back to the ENT for my six-month...
What's the longest time you've heard of for it to go away, @maltese? I still have ear fullness seven months after an acoustic trauma, and it's...
I agree. It's not like I could've done anything differently.
I have no idea. It was still light outside. I only heard the explosion and saw the cloud of smoke. It exploded above a high school parking lot,...
Thanks @Jake007, I hope you're right. I had some ear pain later, but that's quite likely just because I was a little stressed afterwards.
It sounds like your T is considerably more intrusive than mine. I'm really glad to hear that you're able to ignore it at times despite that :)
Some clown set off a firework for no reason in the middle of the day. It was about 300m away and up in the air. I should be fine, right?
Are you sure it's a spike and not just Exploding Head Syndrome? Sometimes I'll hear a very loud beep just as I'm drifting off to sleep. It's...
I'm pretty sure that I have some form of ETD, but every source online states that the only real treatment is to wait for it to clear up by itself....
Dentist drill? That sounds like a very high frequency. Have you ever tried to measure to determine the exact frequency? I've given up on trying...
Hey @Christokp, I'm assuming you mean 9kHz, because I don't think humans can hear as low as 9Hz (the generally accepted range is 20Hz - 20kHz)....
Hey @Christokp, if your audiogram shows no hearing loss greater than 10dB from 250Hz to 8kHz, then I think most ENTs would argue that your hearing...
I hope your spike went down again? I don't think I'll ever go to a live music event again. Yes, I haven't yet given up hope that it may still...
Hi @John Meyers, I notice you have had T for almost two years. Have you noticed any improvement during that time? I'm just over seven months in...
Hey @orbiter12, I'm not sure if it's an option for you, but I've found that the gym is often way quieter first thing in the morning before they...
Hey @eldudebro, what do you mean you're living life like before T started? For me the biggest concern is that I'll never be the fun, relaxed, and...
@Lex, @TheDanishGirlKD, at this point I don't even know what moving on would look like. Even if my T went away completely, there's no way I could...
