When I wear earplugs, I also hear a deep, loud vibrating sound when my mouth is open / my teeth are apart and not clenched. When I clench them,...

Thanks for the advice! I got Xrays of both supposedly carious teeth. I meanwhile had appointments at multiple dentists and they all said there is...

May I ask what plugs you are wearing? Do you understand people talking to you, even quietly? I tried Earpeace musician eraplugs, they work great...

OK, that is a good reason for double protection in my opinion. In my opinion, this is a very good sign. Now just don't over-analyse your tinnitus...

I have the X-Rays on CD right next to me. Unfortunately, my laptop at work does not have a CD drive -_- will make some appointments today and...

I know exactly how you feel because I am very clumsy and always get into noise accidents also. I will tell you how I try to manage such...

I will get my X-Rays on CD tomorrow. Then I will send them to @Ed209 and will try to get some more appointments with dentists in my region. There...

Thank you Bill, I remember reading through this. Also, I read some other posts where people recommend to use earplugs. I am confused, but since I...

Wow, that is very nice of you, I got my first X-Ray from August last year, which only shows the cavity on one side. I guess it has been still very...

*Update* Have been to my first dentist today. He did another X-Ray and noticed another cavity on the other side. He did some manual work. He was...

Fear Factory! So sad that tinnitus ruined my chances to ever see them :(

I decided to visit the first dentist, which wants to do the ceramic inlay, and confront him with that the second dentist said (of course in a kind...

Thank you for your reply. I am doing kind of bad since I have not progressed in any way. Im am torn between just getting it done or ask for a...

My favorite game series of all time is the Fallout series. But I have not tried Fallout 76 yet as I am very sceptical. I also love hack and slay...

Exactly, one dentist said there is cavity, and one said he can't see it on the x-ray. He also said to be sure, he would remove the filling so see...

I also have not yet experienced this. Maybe there is some wax forming a gap between plug and ear canal? I also use 3m 1100 plugs. They are...

It's hard to tell what my body is trying to tell me and what is actually caused by my anxiety. Maybe you remember my thread about me panicking...

It is true, the noises bother me, but that is mostely because of my anxiety. If I knew those sounds were save, I could easily tolerate them as I...

It was very minor at first. Actually it all startet after my cousin was sitting next to me for a whole weekend while we were playing PC games. He...

I have musician earplugs, but they irritate my ear badly. Plus they give a pretty bad occlusion effect so I can't use them in meetings, since I...

Thank you Ross for your statement. It seems like I need to give some more info and that you misunderstood some things I said. I got hyperacusis...

Thank you Bill for again giving your input. The doors have slow shut-mechanisms, but they still close pretty loud. Most of the doors do not shut...

Mine spikes very easily. For me, a spike is always a new tone/sensation. Volume normally doesn't increase ... well, until now - I'm 6 months in,...

I am experiencing something similar. Since my onset of tinnitus after a concert 6 months ago, it has been an up and down with my symptoms, but in...

Thats not good. My first tone was a hiss (yet is was pretty loud), but the new tones I got in the past months are pure tones and high pitch...

You should look up hidden hearing loss. Yet I have often heard that noise exposure can be a "trigger" for tinnitus, and the tinnitus then persists...

Musician plugs are perfect for such things if you do not need max protection. I just swap them in when I go shopping. Decibel levels might not be...

The whole tinnitus matter made a paranoid freak out of me, thats for sure. I am also asking myself if it is normal or if it means a stressed jaw /...

I do that too, but only on the outer ear canal, so the wax inside the canal still gets impacted. I already wore Earplugs for one week straight...

Have you guys not been afraid of the occlusion effect? The musician earplugs I use (Earpeace) do not have that much occlusion effect when talking,...

What earplugs did you use? Did you clean them inbetween uses also? There is wax on mine every time I pull them out

I got musician earplugs for work as they do not have to be inserted that deeply (so not pushing wax back so deep in). They are handy and easy to...

I wear muffs at home for cooking, clearing the dish washer, when I tidy up the flat and when using hair trimmer. I only have my smartphone to...

I have avoided those foods as much as I could since I became so noise-sensitive (the last 2 or 3 months). When I had some crunchy food, I only ate...

I am even uncomfortable when eating crunchy food without earplugs in. Many people come here and ask if they should worry, because they were...

Thank you, haven't thought about wearing earmuffs inverted, I will give that a go :)

Interesting. If I could just use plugs, I would not pannick either. But I am so afraid about the occlusion effect. I inserted plugs and just...

Zeigt wohl einfach eher auf, dass HNO's international gefährlich sind^^ Ich vertraue jedenfalls keinem Arzt mehr blind, solange ich die...

Thanks for all your replies. I will see if I can get a corded trimmer that is silent and has low vibrations. Maybe then I can endure the process...

I only had beeps and no air sounds. My ENT called that tympanometry. They put earbuds in my ears and played a pretty loud, repeating sound for...

Grüß dich, können ja mal per PM quatschen, aber erstmal auf Englisch ;) The new tone turned down a bit after some weeks, but since I had multiple...

I tried that with different shaving foam, since my scalp is very sensitive it gets very irritated through that. I am having red bumps all over my...

I had tympanometry done 3 months ago. It damaged my hearing as I have more trouble understanding people in noisy environments than before and I...

I had a similar problem last week, water got in my ear while taking a shower. I had compacted ear wax because of ear plug usage. The wax got wet...

I had a little wax build up, it seems like that did go wet after the shower and created that feeling in my ear. He cleared the wax manually and...

Thank you for your replies. I will just keep using desinfection for my hands and keeping my earplugs clean as good as I can. Paranoia already...

Thank you for your reply. I will see if I can find a clinic or some other doctors for an extended audiogram. Good idea. So in this 8.5 months,...

Dear @Autumnly, thank you for taking the time to go through my post and answering. I also read that the ears can take a long time to recover. My...
