How do I find my tinnitus category (level)? Is it measured by an instrument...?

Yesterday I got a second opinion from another ENT. The audiogram confirmed the first ENT. Very good, no sign of hearing damage, although a small drop was found for 6-7 kHz (but still within the normal range). I believe that the T has changed slightly, but I'm not sure. Maybe I have started to...

I'm surprised that such high NRR rated foam plugs were not sufficient. Are you sure they were fitted properly? See link:

About 1 month has elapsed, H is back to normal, although the T is very annoying. I will go to a new ENT on tuesday to get a second opinion.

@newbieT What kind of earplugs did you use?

After spending the night reading, I suspect that I might fall into the category 'hidden hearing loss' (Schaette and McAlpine 2011) as I have some difficulties to hear speaking at crowded places. I was only tested up to 8000Hz. Although, it is just a feeling, I haven't tested it. Tinnitus with a...

Hi, As mentioned in the introduction post about myself, I got a high pitch tinnitus after a concert 3 weeks ago (had just a very mild tinnitus from before + hyperacusis, which did not bother me). The high pitch tinnitus is much worse, and at the moment I find it very hard to deal with it. Today...

I have been to ENT today. They did not find anything wrong. The audiogram was also very good, no sign of hearing damage:) She agreed that I have T and H in addition on my left ear. Since I had no signs of hearing damage she said I had good chance to recover back to the «normal» mild tinnitus...

I have struggled to describe the new high pitch sound I have got in addition to my mild tinnitus after high sound exposure 3 weeks ago (rock concert with too low rated SNR musician earplugs). It's a bit similar to cricket sound, although not pulsating (but varies a bit). Still the sound is very...

I would like to add that I got the cold (runny nose, sore throat, and little bit sneezing and cough) one week after the last noise exposure. I still have symptoms of cold, and I have one last hope that the high pitch sound in addition to my mild tinnitus is caused by this and not by the sound...

Hi, Before going to the ENT I have been experimenting to map types of sounds that creates pain in my left ear. So far «s»-sounds during speaking (incl. my own), tapping water, scratching paper and some type of fabric, handling dishes and so on. Indeed I feel the pain in the left ear, and feel...

Yes, I agree. But I should have known the importancy of the SNR rating. The concert was likely to be 120db, standing in the front with peaks to ~130, and protection of 16db gives exposure to db above 100db...

Hi, I would like to check if someone have the same feeling in the ear as I have, also to hear others opinion might make it easier for me to put words on what I feel. I have a my mild low frequency tinnitus + distorted sound at the left ear, which has been there for almost 20 years (due to...
