If what they're doing isn't based on something they read in a peer-reviewed study, but on a holistic "medical" news site, I doubt they care...

If you believe it makes you feel better, then absolutely try it out. I don't see any harmful effects from going barefoot in your backyard or...

Reactive tinnitus: Some years ago I started hearing sharp feedback whenever I encountered some frequencies in music. It responds noticeably to...

God, every song on the playlist (damn Christmas songs) causes my tinnitus to react loudly now. Just a year ago it was only the sounds of cars,...

Exact same symptoms as everyone here. Running water, driving noises, fans, cause feedback in my ears and instantly ends when the noise stops....

After taking it for some years, I'm going to say I personally haven't found that NAC prevents tinnitus spikes, temporary or permanent. I can't...

Like @Stacken77 said mine also reacts to my voice if I speak, only the left eardrum though, also like yours it only reacts to certain noises and...

It's happened to me several times. I recommend sleeping on your back to avoid pressing your ear against the pillow, it's never caused significant...

I take 1000mg twice a day. I've yet to turn yellow, but I wonder if I'm in danger.

Burping... Air goes into my ear canal for some reason and I can physically feel my eardrum stretch, like holding in a sneeze. Usually followed by...

No, it's not a rule that it'll get worse. You do get that impression from being on this site though because people whose tinnitus went away no...

I feel you, my left ear experiences a loud pop everytime I swallow food. It sounds like I'm breaking a seal after getting out from the pool.

You'd probably want to ask a medical professional like a GP or ENT that question because there appears to be minor tear to me.

That's just how messed up things are. You can travel all around the world without tinnitus and not suffer any hearing damage from air travel, but...

Sad that things just get worse and worse with time, thank you for the suggestions though, oral steroids are hard to come by here unfortunately....

I was exposed for a minute or two. I already took NAC beforehand since I made it a precaution to take 1000mg in the morning, though I don't know...

I realized my hearing was off when I woke up the morning after, got a hearing test a week later and the test showed a 5-10 dB drop in the mid...

Ultrasonic cleaning caused me to permanently lose some hearing in both ears without a spike, but this is a pretty rare occurrence. I would highly...

Usually most people who got tinnitus through hand-to-ear contact got it from a hard slap, usually from another party. I think you'll be fine the...

I know how you feel astaff... the people at my workplace tip over pallets after dragging them to the backroom to unload them instead of lowering...

Unfortunately, it hasn't. It's actually gotten worse. Honestly nothing to do but accept it.

3-4 sounds right. They're all people I've known since high school.

Noise-induced hearing loss is definitely where smoking was in the early 20th century. I remember a lot of gatherings at school in the auditorium...

I rarely get spikes, but when I do it seems they're always permanent increases.

Sorry, I've been busy so I've missed your post. Yes, I have a full feeling in my right ear, I don't have a tight feeling though.

Your ENT didn't mention ETD? Yawning, chewing, swallowing usually opens the eustachian tube when it's closed, which is why you might be...

Thanks for the reply, John. I was naive to think I could get away with watching a movie without earplugs for one day, tinnitus really doesn't give...

Have the exact same problem. Whenever I burp, air sometimes forces itself into my left eardrum, it's driving me insane since I don't know if it's...

Yup acoustic shock from earphones, turned up the computer volume to very high to listen to a very quiet Youtube video, opened a .webm link with...

Only did it once, a long time before I started noticing this problem.

I've had this problem for years now, but never found anything on the internet about my problem. Telling the doctor about it got only a "huh,...

Hey, Joshua, if you search up "Valsalva maneuver" and "inner ear barotrauma" you can find many links explaining the danger behind the Valsalva...

Had the cleaning two years ago Steve, similarly to you I was happier than I'd ever been so I thought nothing of the cleaning at first.

Hey Steve, I had the same experience as you, though I didn't get the assistant cleaning my teeth to stop, this procedure ended up being 45...

It really depends on the person, many here would suggest you shouldn't 1. irrigate your ears 2. have the earwax manually removed with a curette...

Firecrackers can be as loud as gunshots. 150+ dB is quite common. I'm not sure if Prednisone would help hours after acoustic trauma but it won't...

You should get a hearing test if you haven't already. It helped give me a sense of perspective following an acoustic trauma.

It depends on the type, for me the random, high-pitched truck backing up beeping in my right ear can not be ignored. The constant CRT static...

Usually nothing happens, but this one time it was enough to hurt my eardrum, it was after that I felt like my tinnitus spike. I was also eating...

[MEDIA] My left ear has a habit of suddenly going fully quiet to the sound of a loud screech, it usually returns within a few seconds. I almost...

Hearing feels a little weaker, it might just be anxiety though considering I don't have vertigo, nausea, or dizziness. I notice the tinnitus in my...

It depends on your wax type, my earwax type is of the extremely soft variety, which means oil does absolutely nothing for me when I apply it, and...

You did the right thing. I had my first ultrasonic cleaning in November, the whole appointment took around around an hour with breaks throughout....

Don't trust hearing tests for accurate results, from professionals or phones. Your hearing test results can fluctuate from ±5/10 dB sometimes up...

Also happened to me. Was waiting at the spot where the bus door would open and as soon as the bus brakes made a sound like expelling gas it was...

Shouldn't this be moved to General Chat? The continuing debate is anything but supportive, or related to tinnitus.

Absolutely not. My speakers fail to produce anything lower than 250 Hz and anything higher than 15,000 Hz. When I asked the audiologist to test...

Yup, cicadas or crickets in my left ear. Though it doesn't bother me since I feel like it's a sound I'm familiar with. The random truck backing up...

Firecrackers in China probably. 150-175 dB, and on Chinese New Year you have people igniting ropes of these things and watching them 10 feet away....

It seems like both you and your mom need support, as glynis said you should have a sit down with her and listen to her concerns as well as...

I get this sort of thumping or pounding in my let ear all the time. It's harmless and it usually goes away. My left ear also thumps in response to...

Ecclesiastes 7:10 -Do not say, "Why is it that the former days were better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this. No...

It could be the ultrasonic scaler that caused your tinnitus. The day after an hour-long appointment for dental cleaning my hearing threshold...

Had my teeth scaled using a ultrasonic scaler in November when I decided to go to a different clinic for a change. Given that I hadn't gone to the...

I know how you feel. Avoiding noise is like trying to avoid second-hand smoke in the early 20th century. If it's not an alarm, it's a dental...
