Has anyone ever heard of stapedial tenotomy being done through a perforation in the eardrum, instead of cutting around/lifting the whole eardrum like a flap?

So you've had multiple tendons cut multiple times, and no side effects? No tinnitus, hearing loss, or hyperacusis? That's very reassuring if so...

Have you noticed any effect of DMSO on your tinnitus, positive or negative? And if so, what kind of tinnitus do you have? Thanks!

I have experience with this. I've described it below in relation to my experience with earplugs (copy/pasting out of laziness), but I've had the EXACT same thing with pushing my tragus... When you push in or take out earplugs that create a seal, you cause an increase in pressure (or...

When you push in or take out earplugs that create a seal, you cause an increase in pressure (or suction/decrease in pressure, respectively) on the eardrum/ossicles attached to the eardrum (which make up your "middle ear"). Basically this action causes very mild barotrauma. For most people this...

Where did you read about this suction damaging the bones in your ear? I'm very interested, thanks!

I've run into serious long term ear/tinnitus issues to do with earplug pressure/suction. See here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/worried-about-suction-from-silicone-earplugs-causing-damage.36315/page-2#post-521732 I've tested so, so, so many earplugs foam and otherwise to figure out an...

So I have a 1400 Hz-ish tinnitus that was caused, and flares back up/gets worse, when pressure is applied to my eardrum (like inserting earplugs or headphones not carefully, or slamming door while inside car, etc), so basically very mild barotrauma I guess. Flare ups usually last about 30 days...

Looks like the circle has shrunk/almost gone. Symptom still the same though... Can't go to ENT at the moment, but thanks for the help

Could it have anything to do with this circle on my eardrum?

When I burp my right eardrum expands outward painfully. It only happens with my right ear. Shouldn't this air be going out my eustachian tube, not pushing out my eardrum?

I have sensaphonic and westone custom molded/silicon earplugs. Both create a seal, by design. Taking them in/out isn't so much of a problem with these though, as much as sleeping with them, lying on one side pressure to the earplug pushes/creates pressure in the ear canal/eardrum.

I've used a number of foam/silicone/custom earplugs and all of them seal well as a feature. The problem is when I put them in/out the suction effect hurts my eardrum, and worsens my 1400 Hz (objective) tinnitus. Does anyone know of any earplugs that don't seal much? Maybe some porous foam ones...

Dihexa is back in stock at science.bio. Going to give it a try soon. I've used dihexa before back in 2017 but that was a period where I didn't have tinnitus...

I ordered all the individual ingredients, and I've been trying them one by one to figure out which is helping. B12 worsened. Magnesium worsened (or maybe just made me more uncomfortable, so I was more bothered by the tinnitus). Potassium worsened. Biotin did nothing. Niacin significantly...

Ingredients are on this page: https://www.oneaday.com/vitamins/vitamins-for-men/multivitamin-for-mens-health/ I'd really like to figure out which specific ingredients are helping, so I can avoid over-supplementing the others (and because taking them all makes me feel not so great generally).

I've got a 1400 Hz fluctuating tonal tinnitus that lasts about a month whenever I blow my nose too hard or let water hit my eardrum in the shower. Pressuring my ears changes it, and Ibuprofen reduces it. What might be the mechanisms at play here?

I'm looking at Westone Tru Customs currently, and was wondering if anyone had any insight?

Bump? I'm sure someone here has the knowledge to answer this pretty quickly, since there's a lot of clues..

So I have a tone in my right ear that appeared after an ear cleaning (with tool/vacuum by ENT) in 2015. It changes in volume, and changes slightly in tone, in response to many factors. Pressurising my ears, blowing my nose, water in my ears, lying down or standing up, lying left or right side...

I've had the hyperacusis since the incident last week. It seems to be getting worse unfortunately.

I developed tinnitus in 2015 after a music concert, a ~16 kHz tone. Then I developed a ~1.5 kHz tone in my right ear after an ENT exam/cleaning. The 16 kHz tone is constant, but responds to 15-17khz external tones (goes away for about 2 mins at a time). The 1.5 kHz tone is very variable...
