    Can I Go to a Concert (Slow)?

    I also got "do things that make me happy" advice from doctor and it was the worst advice I got. Best advice would be "wear ear protection and never go to any loud venue ever". Just because you have no hearing loss doesn't necessarily mean that your ears are fine. You may be one of those people...

    Sensitive Teeth Affecting Tinnitus?

    I've had really sensitive tooth, but in my case it was tooth decay. Dentist "fixed" it. He drilled twice without lidocaine and both times it made my T permanently worse. He drilled once with lidocaine and it made my hearing and T much better for a week until the next drilling. I still have...

    Sensitive Teeth Affecting Tinnitus?

    Yes, I've noticed the same thing too. My guess is it has something to do with trigeminal nerve being aggravated? Try using tooth paste or mouth wash for sensitive teeth for a while and see if it has any effect.

    Yes, they are this reckless. I've been told many times by many ENTs that I'm making stuff up. I've also been told by my current ENT, that I shouldn't wear ear protection otherwise I will get ear infection and that my hearing can't get worse unless somebody shoots gun next to my ear... :eek: I'm...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    Hi, I've been reacting positively to local LLLT, which is 820nm 300mW continuous and pulse. Lucky laser with shipping and import duties costs 2400 or 3100 EUR, which is a LOT. Is someone here considering selling their Lucky Laser? :)

    They both did. It isn't about the device, it's about the 100W IR bulb. That's why I was asking month ago about wide and narrow beam mode on IR torch. And I know this did it. The difference is big and it's instantaneous. I don't know if it hit the eye or some nerve, I'm just reporting that it...

    Pressure from Ear Muffs

    I've been to 1 ENT already. When I tried to describe my condition, he stopped me and told me Meniere's. But I'm pretty sure now that eustachian tube is full and maybe inner ear infection. Gonna try new one tomorrow. Thanks.

    Pressure from Ear Muffs

    Hi there. I bought 3M Peltor ear muffs. I've just tried them and they created something like negative pressure on my ear drums. I've had them like 30 seconds and my T is raging. Also my balance is not OK and I feel this weird pressure around the ear. Anyone knows what it could be? Thank you.
