It's been much better lately. After 10 months things started to improve significantly. I also got out of a toxic environment, allowing for better...

Yeah, I probably would have been a bit more assertive if it hadn't been for the fact that I have only just started my first internship at a big...

Yes, nothing I couldn't have been better prepared for though. I had a conference meeting about a week and a half ago. There were some guest...

That's what I was wondering back then as well. I'm not able to give a definite conclusion though. I still have random bouts of PET (but very...

Hey @New Guy , great to hear from you again. It's been a while. Hope things are treating you well. I have had some experience with 'head T'. It...

Yeah, and it's quite similar to the sound you are describing. I also have a lot of fluctuations (sometimes I go a few days with a 1-2/10). I even...

All my tinnitus tones are intermittent or morse code-type sounds. They used to be quite reactive as well (to white noises such as a running tap or...

I find that an amalgam of cicadas, grasshoppers and crickets work well to alleviate this type of T. When the hissing gets bad try out this vid:...

First off, make sure you always use sterile water when rinsing your nasal cavity to prevent nasty infections. Secondly, the popping noise is more...

Your spike should settle. It might have been loud, but (ad nauseam) could've sounded louder because your hearing has already become quite...

Same here. I've had a pretty bad track record at the ENT's office myself in the past. I always used to tell myself: "At least I won't be getting...

I wouldn't make a doctor touch my ears unless my life depended on it. And certainly not when it comes to grommets, which have a bad track record...

Hey @Ed209. Sadly enough, it does worry me. My T is quite unpredictable around some sounds. Especially long and continuous noise exposure awakens...

Before you diagnose yourself with cancer, have you checked whether your symptoms match the condition called Patulous Eustachian Tubes? What you...

All my tones are essentially morse code-like or intermittent. I've got ringing, hissing and beeping. Some of them can grow continuous when lying...

Sorry to hear about your new sound.. What a dickhead though. I know people like that as well. You tell 'm you have sound sensitivity/H before...

Seeing as it only bothers you at night and in quiet rooms, my advice would be to use a lot of masking sounds. Sleep with a fan or put on some...

I'd say noice-induced T actually does have a chance of going away. Check out this thread:...

Yeah those are pretty bulky. I'd only use those for the heavy duty stuff if you feel like they're uncomfortable. I've got another pair that...

Any sounds approaching 80db in my car, I put my ear muffs on for. That generally only entails driving on the freeway for me. I'm still in the...

My tones are slightly somatic, I believe. When I yawn or stretch certain muscles in my neck region, my intermittent ringing rises in volume and...

Welcome to the forum! You're not the only one to experience this. Many peopleon this forum, amongst which myself, have the same thing. Some...

Ok, that does complicate things a bit. Despite all, I must say that you are doing an admirable job at staying positive and persevering. I hope the...

Sorry to hear you've been having such a difficult time Mary. I understand all too well what it means to have to go to uni/college and deal with...

Was the tool used something like shown in this video? [MEDIA] If so, I had the same procedure done to me, unknowing what kind of discomfort it...

I've been approaching it from this angle as of late. I had a marvellous few days last week with jaw relaxation exercises and anti-inflammatory...

Great to hear of your improvement. Have you had any further luck treating your TMD or neck issues? I remember you mentioning you got rid of your...

I too notice changes to my tinnitus after consuming dairy products. I also attribute it to the production of mucus and the impact it may have on...

@New Guy I agree, nature is our salvation. It is God's gift. Too bad humanity is so good at destroying it. I am fortunate to live in an area with...

The Mountain Meadows vid is very useful for the type of T that makes your entire head vibrate indeed. This hissing or sizzling I sometimes...

Welcome to TT, @kraleb! Funny avatar you got there, I sometimes feel like that too. T can be a real bitch, but seems you got tabs on it to a...

It could be two things, from my perspective: - Your tinnitus volume increases or new tones appear as a result of (even moderate) noise exposure....

Welcome to the forum @Nightknight ! I'm currently going through my last year of university as well, so I can definitely relate to having to study...

I'm not sure a balloon dilation procedure would help for crackling/popping ears. It seems aimed at people with full-fledged ETD, when the tubes...

It's probably a long shot, but I'm going to bump the thread anyway. Any ideas are still very welcome.

Same thing. They pop when swallowing, yawning, breathing in deeply, chewing, running, mostly. There's probably another few scenarios I'm missing...

You commented on my post a while back that you envy people with a good work ethic. Well, I gotta tell you, I ain't all that perfect on that front...

Hey, @HollowZer0 I feel your pain. It really sucks to be in a constant state of awareness about T and what might influence it. No one has the...

I think this is the essence of the discussion. There really oughtn't be two camps in this forum, just a collectivity of members who take the...

Interesting! Have you ever thought whatever this means is going on in our ears, is also what causes our tinnitus? Or is yours a clear consequence...

Thanks for sharing this Ed. I've been able to do this for quite a long time as well. Someone taught me, when I was getting into diving on...

Thanks for your answer. Yeah, I'm gonna be real careful. Sucks you had to drop it though... It's insane that the body of knowlegde, when it comes...

Hey @Gman , I found this post while searching for similar experiences and I must say, yours is the closest I've found to my own. Since about a...

If you've got a university near you, try to make contact with their ENT department. If someone ought to know more about these uncommon conditions,...

No, I don't think they're the same. Flonase is a steroid spray, but isn't a decongestant either (like Afrin). But maybe you should make an...

So I've heard. Check patient.info, where you can find more people who have this condition.

Well, I'll be honest, it isn't what it once was. I used to set hourly, daily and weekly deadlines for myself during exam periods. I was pretty...

I've heard some people with patulous tubes find ipratropium bromide nasal drops to be helpful. Also, I think you best stop taking nasal...

Thank you Glynis Fortunately, the faculty has proven to be very understanding and they have given me some extra exam time and such. Of course,...

I personally don't see a direct causal link between an infection and a more active tensor tympani. But what could be happening, is that you are...

Man, it seems our experiences are fairly similar. I've had this nerve-racking phenomenon myself since my tinnitus began. I also have it with other...

It's not more dangerous to do it than when you don't have ETD, for instance when altitude is rapidly decreasing. Like you say, you only did it...

@Tom71 These sites are pretty useful: https://www.thesleepdoctor.com/2017/08/10/understanding-cbd/...

Well, the psychoactive component of cannabis, THC, is not present in these oils. I do not think they would show up in a drug test. But I...
