It's amazing to read that this device is actually helping some people. So much has happened since three years ago!
Well I just went.. they tried to watch it a bit, but I still think I got exposed to way too much noise.. So far im not noticing anything...
Oh man... Well I guess I will just have to face this. My appointment is in an hour, pretty nervous lol. I'll explain my situation to the dentist...
Hi everyone! It hasn't been too long since my concert question, yet I am already facing a new challenge. I am going to have to get fillings...
Hey! Of course not! I've reported back a page ago I think haha. But the venue was between 95 to 105 dB at peak levels. I skipped the opening act...
Hello everyone! Just thought I'd report back here. I went to the concert. Stood in the back and only went for the main act and skipped the...
I'm going to see Hatari :D :whistle: :oops: hahaha. The venue is apparently medium sized, not too big not too small. And I've even sent an e-mail...
I really want to do this, but I am worried that once I walk out I won't be able to get back in or that my spot is gone. How do people manage to do...
I was just naming an example. If it's consistently over 100 dB I'll probably walk out. And I don't just have earplugs I'll also bring ear muffs...
I definitely understand where you're coming from. And I definitely don't want to seem disrespectful or anything of everyone's experiences here....
I do appreciate everyone's advice. Of course I know that regarding my hearing, it's the best decision not to go, that's obvious. And your advice...
I am actually going this coming Tuesday! I have to say that I'm quite nervous, but I'm super prepared. I bought foam plugs that have been rated as...
I have to say you guys did not really supply me with the answers I was hoping for lol but I was already expecting this. I just wish there was some...
Thank you for all the replies. I think i'm just going to bring foam plugs as well as peltor muffs. I have to say that I'll always be nervous to...
For the first time since getting my (probably somatic) tinnitus, I am going to go see a concert. I do however want to protect myself as much as...
Whenever I get a fleeting tinnitus episode at night that makes me anxious I take cannabis oil and valerian, and mostly it manages to calm me down...
I am also dutch and I do have to say your problems sound eerily similar as to what I have been through. Mine has been pretty mild so far (thank...
@Greg Sacramento I am starting to suspect I have some cervical radiculopathy going on in my neck. Is there anything I can do about my situation?...
Ears are spiking at the moment, and had already 4/5 fleeting tinnitus events today :arghh:
Wow, I am actually very surprised as to how many people are experiencing the same type of symptoms. Its kind of scary how all of this seems to be...
I have the same experience after a workout. My ear starts making some new sounds and my normal tinnitus definitely increases in volume and...
Noises sounding too loud definitely. It's not necessarily pain, but my ear just feels really uncomfortable around loud noise. Only when the noise...
Apart from my tinnitus, I have other symptoms as well, which I am just curious about if they are related. Next to tinnitus I also have TMJ which I...
Yes I have. My tinnitus is very somatic I believe. Yesterday I had a bad spike as well, it made me pretty anxious. No idea what caused it since i...
Hahahahaha i don't know if i should be laughing but I cant help it this thread is hilarious :LOL:
For a few weeks I have been hearing a very soft morse code type like sound in my ear. It seems to come and go because I don't hear it all the...
I wonder this too. I got it shortly after my aunt got it and we talked about it. I remember saying:' what a terrible condition, I wouldn't wish it...
What I personally think would raise the most awareness is just exactly that.. how common it is, and how this affliction can affect anyone,...
Is there any knowledge on what causes unilateral tapering (fleeting) tinnitus, and why these events seem more prevalent in people with chronic...
Hello everyone. I have had mild tinnitus for over a year now, and since getting this condition I have stopped doing a lot of things and take a...
It was the same for me really. No direct cause, just woke up one night with a loud tone in my ear (fleeting tinnitus), which went away, but the...
I bought a disinfectant spray for my ear plugs, I probably wear them on average half an hour every day, and I clean them once a week, mostly on a...
The people who post stories here with: ' I just woke up one day and it was there' terrify the absolute shit out of me. Makes me so scared of mine...
I personally wouldn't but maybe I'm overly cautious. I used to wear headphones all evening after work. I'd wear them going to the gym, travelling,...
Im doing a lot better mentally luckily (knock on wood) since I wrote this post. The tinnitus is actually either the same or a little bit louder I...
Do you have tense shoulder muscles? Or TMJ? Im pretty sure after months of being scared of noise and everything related that my tinnitus is...
@dpdx I remember you were struggling a lot with a loud spike and floaters. How are you now? Are you doing better?
It varies a lot. It really seems to depend on my posture and positioning of my jaw/neck etc. I have some control over it by massaging my shoulders...
No nothing new unfortunately. I've tried countless nasal sprays, antihistamines, steaming etc. But nothing seems to work :(
I'm still struggling with the exact same thing. Constant crackling and popping when I yawn and swallow. And a constant feeling that my ears need...
I've had something similar happen to me. It comes and goes and it also freaks me out quite a bit, but for me I've noticed it has to do with...
Yep same here. Seriously do not freak out about noise, it can give you a whole lot of other problems like hyperacusis, ear fullness, emotional...
I think mine is somatic. Noise does not seem to influence it half as much as a day of bad posture seems to do. I once had a spike from eating...
I still think mine is also possibly related to an exposure of noise, but my hearing test came back flawless, which made me doubt that. Just be...
To this day Im still trying to figure it out. Because I just randomly started to get fleeting tinnitus episodes at night, and then the static...
I understand, I was just commenting on the eye floaters because i have aalot of experience with them. I have both mild tinnitus and hyperacusis...
I know exactly how you feel. I can't say much about the tinnitus, because mine is very mild so far and I thank god every day for that too....
Im very interested in this. I have something similar where my own voice, and those of other people seem to sound a bit off. Like there is some...
Mine tends to change a lot too. I have a lot of fleeting tinnitus, at least once a week on average. And sometimes random new sounds that come and...
I open my mouth slightly, and basically stretch it a little and take away the muscle tension I feel. Hard to explain haha, but that is it basically
I can actually lower the volume and can make it almost disappear by relaxing my jaw shoulder and neck muscles. Is that common for tmj/somatic...
So far not that much improvement in my tmj I'm afraid. I'm wearing a splint everyday and seeing a jaw therapist once a week, but my jaw opening is...
You know what field is even worse than a tinnitus treatment...the eye floaters one. Literally nothing happening there apart from one intrusive...
How do you guys avoid building up wax? Or avoid developing hyperacusis? I have used ear plugs a few months ago nearly every day because of my...
Mine also seems to be louder when I lie down. I think it has to do with the positioning of my neck and shoulders
Yeah but you have a very mild case of eyefloaters. I have like 15 brown ones (as far as Im able to count them anymore) some large some smaller,...
Isn't it maybe just a sound in the room? I have the same thing. Tinnitus seems to be the loudest in my living room, but I'm suspecting that's my...
I dont know but I have had floaters since I was 16 years old. They're big and brown and kind of blur my vision from time to time. They've been...
I've been suspecting for a long time that my hissing tinnitus had something to do with my neck/shoulders/jaw because I could influence the volume...
