I'm sure H is the brain's way to protect damaged ears from more harm. If the H goes, great, but stay on your guard, or the T will spike.
... but the brain compensates by rewiring. My higher frequencies have come back.
Great to hear(!) of your recovery. My upper frequencies seem to be coming back too. My acoustic trauma was in Oct 18. After that all music...
The docs says ears don't regenerate (we know better!) Plus I suppose the brain is rewiring itself, reassigning hairs to higher frequencies.
Gradually hearing cymbals again! Although they don't sound the same as I remember them. But they're coming back...
@MarkX Also have non-somatic hiss in L ear. Got T through years of drumming and one particular noise trauma last Oct.
@MarkX All this somatic T has completely disappeared twice for 8 hours or so after consuming large amounts of curry and alcohol.
@MarkX ... and I get a hissing crunch in my ears with each footstep. This can also be almost removed with the same actions.
@MarkX I can largely stop the static buzz and pulsating whoosh with neck movements or pressing down on my cranium.
8 months in. H is much better :-) somatic hissing/static pulsating T still bad :-(
Hi Paul... stress level has been very high for months, but due to changing circumstances should come down soon. The footstep hiss is always...
@PaulFi Hi Paul, thanks, it's so rare to hear from somebody who has the footstep hiss! Is it improving? Mine isn't. Although one night after a lot...
My somatic T *completely* disappeared the other night after eating a very hot curry, consuming a fair amount of beer and chatting to friends. It...
Curry+alcohol *completely* silenced my somatic T last night. How? Back again today though...
When I lie down in bed, my tinnitus goes mad (this left-ear hiss goes tonal, the right-ear whoosh sounds like a tsunami). On a good night, it...
Rare to find a beautiful song about T... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiC-JAND_u8
Watched the film "All Is Lost" last night. Great film, plus the ocean and storm sounds were very soothing for lug-holes :-)
Damn, def increase in hissing in both ears today after foolishness 3 days ago. Delayed spike. Slid down a snake to where I was 2 months ago.
I think this is a very useful thread. I like the opening window/door slamming advice. I've learned the hard way too. I always wear earmuffs in...
I regard all that as the new 'silence' and I'll be happy if I get to that stage permanently.
Hi Bill Even when the hiss has 'gone' there's always something- the softest hiss or an ambience which is not quite a tone but not silent.
Hiss disappear for an hour or so today, so back to intermittent :-)
Hiss now constant again. Will update if it returns to intermittent, as many people are interested in spikes.
Drum was in owner's kitchen(!) Prob around 100dB, like a very loud door slam.
L ear hiss intermittent until yesterday, when somebody whacked a bass/kick drum before I could protect myself.
Thanks Michael! I've found your reply very reassuring. It sounds like you symptoms were much worse than mine, especially the H, but they sound...
Hi again all. This thread is confusing my addled brain. In my R ear I have a pulsating whoosh which is absolutely 100% perfectly in sync with my...
I have noise-induced 'normal' T and a pulsating T that appeared a few weeks afterwards *at the same time that my hyperacusis appeared* The PT is...
Thanks Michael. Actually, I read your advice 'to do nothing' several weeks ago and took it to heart. I stopped my notch therapy, and stopped using...
I'm pretty sure I'm a member of this club. I have pulsatile T in the R ear that gets very loud when I lie down, but if I jam my cranium up to the...
On this forum he states that he lost the hearing in one ear by 'walking in front of a speaker at Notting Hill Carnival'. He doesn't seem to...
This is all good. But it's H (I think) that is making music distorted / unenjoyable for me. So I don't listen to my favourite stuff any more. I...
@Lex Hi Lex. Your post about more or less recovering from hearing music as distorted and weedy has halted a massive panic/grieving episode I've...
Thanks Greg. I've normally (but not always) used ear protection with acoustic drums throughout my career. I don't mind that the sound gets...
@Ross - same here. I have, in reverse order of vileness, T, PT, and somatic PT (there's a thread about that on this forum.)
Thanks Greg. Yes that's me. I do have e-drums too. I've recently done a gig on cajon, that was fine. I'm seriously considering attempting a band...
@Contrast But many sources say that PT can occur because of heightened sensitivity of the ear... which can occur after audio trauma. I believe...
Thanks James. I have friends who say "don't worry about a little buzz in your ear, you'll get used to it" but when you have a troupe of tinnitus...
Hi all, As we know, pulsatile tinnitus is the sound of blood cruising around and through the ear. Can lowering blood pressure make this sound...
Hi all - my tinnitus arrived after a DJ gig in a small club 7 weeks ago. It wasn't particularly loud (I was able to chat at near normal volume)...
I have PT from acoustic trauma. At least, that's when it started. My tinnitus cocktail is (in reverse order of nastiness) 1) Intermittent low...
