Active Noise Cancellation headphone recommendations, anyone?
Yes @ZFire, it's coming up. I'll have two flights, one later this week and one early next week. For what it's worth, last month I had three...
I do try to yawn and drink a lot of water, especially on the ascents and descents. Interestingly, both times that the issue occurred were when I...
Hey y'all, this is not technically a tinnitus issue although it does most certainly coincide with a temporary increase in tinnitus. Out of my...
RunningMan yeah it's certainly a problem. Especially sad after I just watched Hbomberguy's video about vaccines
Got my 5th(?) Pfizer covid vaccine. No problem here
I use times like these as a compass to look back on when sh*t gets bad. So many times my T has spiked bad for a while, and I would think the...
2022, tinnitus was unpredictable. There were many days I didn't pay it much mind, but it was rare that I could go more than a week without T...
Logging in today just to say that I've been well. More in the subsequent comment-
That day the doc confirmed that there was fluid build up, which is common when you get on the plane too soon after having a cold.
Update- this seems to have resolved itself but it took a few hours. I'm in the urgent care just to make sure my ear drum didn't pop or something,...
By the way, to follow up on an earlier status - 4th booster did not have any effect on my hearing disorders. I got it in the winter, no prob
Felt pretty severe pain in my right ear drum after landing from this airplane flight, and my right ear now sounds occluded.... Ugh!!!
I can't say my H is fully resolved. I am shaken by >80db sounds if they come without warning, and don't like to expose myself to near 90db even...
They improved as in I don't hear them at all. Occasionally, some frequencies of my hearing are extra sensitive and this might be considered...
[MEDIA] Here is a video from CBS, covering one of the patients who saw improvement from sudden deafness a month after their dose.
I have heard really good things about the Sony WH-1000XM4, but I have not tried them myself. A friend of mine told me "I remember you saying...
From Frequency Therapeutics' tweet just now: Join us Tuesday for our virtual investor event as we look to the Q1 readout of the Phase 2b study of...
I gotta get a 4th booster. First 3 Pfizers had no negative effect on me, anyone here have experience with getting 3 Pfizers & a 4th booster?
I gotta get a 4th booster. First 3 Pfizers had no negative effect on me. Anyone here have experience with getting 3 Pfizers and then a 4th booster?
When you went skiing, was the wind noise mostly blocked by your helmet? I used to love skiing and I have not gone since I was in high school but...
T is back to mostly non-intrusive, after blaring full-blast for a week. I had something stressful to get through and now I'm able to relax.
I wanted to provide an update for future visitors of this thread: August was very up and down, with some rough and depressing weeks but some...
This has been a tough year for me because my tinnitus is so up and down. I think I have a pretty low baseline but my spikes this year have been so...
The rumble is a different sound that I've been able to make since i was young. This is just a quick twitch
There's barely any sound to it at all, I'd say? If there is it's very low, at a very low frequencies. I just kinda feel a thump.
Love that game. The composer and I used to talk about music regularly not long after I first developed tinnitus, and his insight has definitely...
Anyone else have the ability to make one of their eardrums twitch on command? I can do it with my left eardrum. I have a feeling I shouldn't
Some times it sticks out quite prominently and intrusively while driving on the highway even without earplugs, but sometimes I barely notice it...
T loud after concert- The music wasn't too loud actually but the occlusion effect hit my ears kinda hard a couple times while talking... lol
September was great for the most part, only like one bad day and a handful of somewhat-annoying ones regarding T. Best month I had all year.
This year my T keeps goin back n forth in loudness a few days or weeks at a time. Habituation is hard because it just doesn't seem to settle
Literally left grandma's 90th birthday party because there are balloons there and I'm worried about them popping even if across the room smh
Some really good days lately and annoying days dotted between em but I think the general trend is towards improvement.
Tfw you sleeping at a friend's place and wonder if you're hearing new aspects of your tinnitus or if it's just sounds their house makes
@Keith Handy It just feels like there's no rhyme or reason to it half the time. Avoid loud sounds. Aside from that, I try to have a diet and...
@SamRosemary very true. The fact that it gets quiet at all gives me faith that I have a low baseline to eventually return to, which is why I am...
It's a lil aggravating how non-linear habituation/reduction is. Yesterday T was mostly quiet! Today it's screamin'. Tomorrow? Who knows!
It's hard to fully forego masking it around here, as there is always the slightest bit of noise that will come from the highway or the breeze or...
Part of my strat is to just sit with it. Put in plugs, face the T directly. Let it suck. Become familiar with it's fluctuations/variations.
A week after earwax extraction, I think my left ear tinnitus is about as bad as it's ever been, but it's fluctuated up and down so much this year...
On the blasting my ears bit, i avoid it best i can. Occasionally it's bound to happen hear and there on accident but i try to get myself out of...
W/ permanent increases or long lasting spikes, going just a few seconds w/o T bothering me is a signal that full habituation is achievable
Sleep is fine. Now and then tinnitus affects my dreams, but i haven't felt much need to try to mask my T for sleep since it first became chronic 6...
I don't like to catastrophize about my tinnitus but I'm having one of those weeks where it makes me depressed and anxious.
That is to say, I don't hear those tones as well in my left ear. It's subtle in the early 10ks, but once we reach higher up, forget about it
my left ear not picking up on >10k frequencies as well as my right ear rn... smh. I'm hoping things balance out over time.
I left a message with the audiology department that I usually go to. I'll try to get one set up as soon as possible.
Just got home after getting the earwax removed manually (from a different doctor, not the "don't bargain with me on the phone" guy). I wasn't...
Thanks @AnthonyMcDonald . I have no intention of getting Microsuction, no irrigation either. I am asking for manual removal only. I have been...
Earwax removal appointment w/ a ENT who seems cool on Monday. Hoping for the best and no complications.
One more post for now, and then I intend on leaving the thread alone until after I have my procedure to provide other earwax-havers some more...
Nah bruh just because it was a mild case for you does not change the fact that it killed so many people. "All that fuss about COVID-19 is just...
Thanks for taking the time to reply in detail. Yeah, I'll be looking to get it manually removed, definitely no microsuction or irrigation....
Thanks. It's not as bad right now as it was when I made the post. I was real spooked at the time. But definitely still uncomfortable. I'll try to...
Question... Is it safe to wait until Monday when ENTs are open or should I get the wax removed at a general clinic or hospital right away? Should...
Cerumen buildup in my left ear is too much now.. gotta get it removed, I shouldn't be hearing sticky popping noises when rubbing my ear
Was doin pretty good for a few weeks but T definitelty spiked like 4 days ago and doesn't wanna let up. Not my first time... Annoying tho...
I didn't last too long. My T had been relatively low for 10 days, and today i swear it's better than it's been in a while.
Anyone ever get a long lasting T spike from blowing your nose too hard? Lol.... Threw my E-tube out of wack. Sniffles just now popped my ear
