Thank you both for your responses, at least I now know what to ask the doctors about (open MRI possibilities space for ear muffs etc). I would...
Hi guys, Haven't posted in a while - I was supposed to have an MRI this evening but made the mistake of researching it out of anxiety before I...
yes! I posted a story in the support forum a week or so ago. I'll see if i can put a link to it here.......
Yes that's exactly what happened to me! I must have spent such a lot, I never added it up but Christ. I'm so glad I'm not there any more.
That's awesome, I'm so glad you're so much better!
No I don't have any of it left. I do still get very anxious in loud environments which causes a kind of anxiety fuelled return of the hyperacusis...
For me, the hyperacusis was the worst part. I totally understand how debilitating and soul crushing it is. I couldn't tell you why it was that...
Hi all... I haven't posted anything in a while, even though I was a near constant presence not all that long ago. I realised yesterday that I...
Hiya, I’m no expert but I’m sure @Michael Leigh and @Bill Bauer will be happy to help you out, both were very informative and kind to me when I...
hahaha oh my god yes
Their word seems to be the truth? That'll be why only 5.7% of cases are convicted then, and why a guy (Brock Turner) who was literally witnessed...
https://www.facebook.com/notjusthollywood/ read the stories on here if that's your argument. These are all true, all from real women, all...
What you say would ruin your day is very often what happens to us.
I didn't realise people had responded to this thread I forgot to mark it as one I wanted to watch. Yes, false accusations of rape and sexual...
Went to a kinesiologist today and she did this thing she claimed was special chiropractry where she flicked me on the head with her fingers, I...
1) yes mine gets worse with a cold because is *apparently* caused by ETD so I guess the blockage gets worse 2) I don’t know if it gets worse or...
Sorry to post again, I don’t like to keep bothering all you wonderful people but there’s just no other place with anything approaching answers....
I’ve just started using Beconase which is a corticosteroid spray like Flonase - I can’t tell if it’s making me worse or not? I was having a...
@BillBauer my t is not noise induced so that may work in my favour, and yes there are a few people travelling but I don’t have a big family so it...
there is no experience close to rape. I see where you're coming from though, maybe just say you feel violated or something in future. Rape isn't a...
I'm not planning to have any music so that's my thinking as well, I think I'll be able to tell pretty fast if it's going to be too loud so if it...
I really wouldn't use the word rape so lightly if I were you
I think I will look up some of those tips, I'll have to - not like I can avoid transport completely and walk 150 miles! My mum and I had quite a...
i just don't know what to do, I did have a talk with mum this evening and she was actually really good, agreeing to be as quiet as possible and...
I might give it a go, she’s not normally very receptive to that sort of thing at all (her way is the only right way doesn’t matter what I think...
So annoying right? I’m tempted to hide something that makes a constant noise in her handbag so she can experience it for a few days (I won’t of...
Hi all, not doing so well today. Long story short I had been doing much better but since coming home on the train and my ears popping/being unable...
you're right sorry - wasn't acoustic trauma, just came on with a bout of tonsillitis about 3 months ago, running diagnosis is etd
For anyone who doesn't want to to read all this which would be totally fair enough because it's boring, my question is: has anyone found that...
did you get any progress/answers with this? I get a similar thing
I'm hoping that's the case, I'm no medic but I'd hazard a guess that the fact you can make it quieten is probably a good sign so don't lose faith...
That's so strange, what a weird condition this is! I've had a few other symptoms besides, but they could be totally coincidental (who knows :p )....
@lucluc you and I are on a similar timeline then, I've had mine for 2.5 months now - I'm sorry to hear yours is getting worse although glad to...
you say it got worse, did it go back down again?
After two months of doctor appointments, sore throats, swollen glands, headaches, earache, jaw pain and tinnitus, doctor has decided I've got...
Thought I'd get a conversation going on here about the whole #metoo thing, I know it's a bit of a hot button topic and it's nothing to do with...
@Jenni8619 Oh I’m definitelt not going clubbing, just makes me sad that I can’t because it was always so much fun. Not sure I’ll ever go again...
People really don’t get it haha, I have a friend in a band and he was trying to persuade me to come to a gig (they always play ridiculously loud)...
Can I have an update on your problems? Quite similar to my symptoms and I’m going out of my mind a tiny bit :p
Have you had any answers to this?? I’m only 2 months in to start with and it was set off by an illness, there was the ringing but no real pain,...
I just don’t understand because this wasn’t noise induced in the first place, or at least not by a specific acoustic trauma, so why the crap is...
I am always so torn as to whether to follow your advice or advice like Michael’s which says not to overprotect, I wish I’d followed yours today...
I’m trying but it’s nigh on impossible in a house with three other people in it I find myself completely banished from the kitchen and living room...
Tinnitus spiked massively with extra tones and head vibration plus pain in right ear after half an hour of conversation with a washing machine in...
Thank you for your advice - I have not used any sort of headphones since onset. It was also not noise induced but came on seemingly randomly with...
@Michael Leigh I would be particularly interested to hear your thoughts on this if it’s not too much trouble? I have already read tinnitus a...
So I’d been doing my best to stay positive in the face of the massive anxiety all this has caused, had made myself take a couple of trips into...
I’m glad you think it’s realistic, you made me feel better just by saying that! I am doing my absolute best to stay away from any excessive noise...
Thank you, I’ve been nervous of taking anything at all because everything seems to have been ototoxic to someone and made the tinnitus worse and I...
@billie48 keep calm and carry on ;) You’re right of course, could have been any combo of all those causes - just so frustrating!! Not helping...
I keep reading about these peltor muffs, where can I get them and are they expensive? The only reason I haven’t been is that the ENT I saw told me...
I have a very similar story, haven’t tried decongestants or anything though as no doctor seems willing to listen to me, they just tell me to wait...
@Greg Sacramento Thank you so much that’s really helpful <3 just finding it really hard to tell what’s going on because it wasn’t noise induced...
Had some stupid bloody setbacks today. Yesterday I felt quite depressed and the noise and anxiety was really stopping me from sleeping. I...
Not bad thanks yourself?
Hey
I have had an insanely emotionally stressful year and generally quite stressful so maybe I’ll ditch all the music and loud stuff for now and just...
