Not sure where the right place to ask is and I imagine it's already been mentioned somewhere, but anyone thinking of attending this who either...

No eye pain or blurred vision, still a lot of tension in that part of my head and am experiencing the gloomy dark and sometimes static like...

@Greg Sacramento didn't you say the meds are ototoxic as well?

At what point do i worry then? Just feel a bit confused. If it brought on a massive pain in that area, those visions in the area that have lasted...

@Greg Sacramento Also, do you know anywhere I can read more about this? I looked up hypertension, but didn't see anything about those weird...

I wouldn't say I have any abdominal pain or slowness peeing. I feel like as soon as something is mentioned these days though I'm sensing it,...

Hi Greg, I was just wondering if you know anything about migraine auras? Kriszti said I could try asking you. I'll paste my message to her...

What NRR are your custom made plugs? I worry that if I ever go to a party/loud bar I won't know whether it's too loud or not!

Thank you Kriszti. I definitely calmed down when I realised it was likely to be more temporary. I plan to sleep now, hopefully for a long time,...

Thank you. I'm certain it's that now. Lack of sleep and constant stress do sound familiar. Although I'd say it was more lack of sleep at the...

Hi @Elfin Looks like you're probably right. A scintillating scotoma is what it looked like: [ATTACH] It was that exact shape as well, although...

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I've been proper freaking out about it. I did read about migraine auras, but I'm not really sure what...

Thanks for the advice. I just meant using them purely for their noise cancelling capabilities, not to play music. So like when on an aeroplane,...

Hi John, Did you ever find any link between the two (psoriasis and tinnitus)? I actually got psoriasis many many years before tinnitus (but...

@Kvothe @Michael B @boliston @Mister Muso Thanks everyone for the advice/suggestions. Turns out it was pretty quiet in the end (well, apart from...

That's a good idea! Do you feel the need to wear earplugs at any time, or find it overly loud in certain situations? Thanks.

That's good to hear! I guess it probably seemed like a bit of a ridiculous question then haha. I really had no idea how loud they get though....

Ah ok, my bad! Sorry for interrupting! :)

Doesn't it cost a lot of money for the appointment/trial to use Lenire? I can't imagine, ethically or perhaps legally, that they could put some...

no problem. Yeah, definitely consult with a doctor or better yet ENT before putting anything into your damaged ear. The loud sound when you tap...

Hey Yas, I've had tinnitus for about the exact same length of time as you, and this might not be the advice you're looking for but, personally, I...

Thanks for the reply. I haven't heard of those ones, but yeah, I imagine if your hyperacusis is really severe then you'd want the strongest dB...

Thanks for the quick and well written reply, Matt! In particular I liked this paragraph, thanks for these words, hopefully it's the case! I...

Hi Juan, Just wondering if you know what brand of custom earplugs you bought and what filters you were using? I think I probably will get some...

Hi Matt, I realised on this forum you don't get a notification to posts below yours unless someone tags you or you quote their post. So, in case...

Fingers crossed, thanks! For one ER filter it is 60NZD (40USD) and one ACS Pro filter is 45NZD (30 USD). So not a huge price difference, the...

Actually, it might just be because I'm distracting myself from the sound even when there's something quiet playing. Or maybe it's related to...

Interesting theory! I've just been discussing with another member of this forum about some neck exercises to do. Although his Tinnitus is...

I sure hope so! Glad yours has reduced for you :)

Hi @foam Thank you, I hope so! What do you mean by this though?

Will do @Michael Leigh I just looked and he's started 46 posts, but I'll definitely read ones that look relevant. Thank you

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has commented on my post with their advice. There are now far too many comments for me to reply...

I intend to take it as slow as possible in order to recover. My recent scare has signalled to me that I'm not ready for some environments yet....

I thought hyperacusis was when you experienced pain when hearing sounds? Day to day, prior to going to that bar, I hadn't really worn earplugs...

I should've read/replied to this post first, as it seems to answer what I'm experiencing at the moment! Maybe I do have a mild form of...

Thanks for the thorough rundown, Tom. The ACS and ER filters look different (link below), do you mean that they're interchangeable whatever...

Hi Matt, Thank you for the advice, some very interesting points that I wasn't aware of previously and will have to look into more. Temporary...

Thank you for this clarification. I actually thought I was being careful to be honest. We avoided many bars that I would call noisy and settled...

Hi @Mister Muso I just saw your message after I replied to the previous one. Yeah, I believe you're right, especially based on my incident the...

Thanks for the info @Tybs . I haven't had any recent trauma or taken any medications lately that could've caused it. The only reason I thought it...

Hi @MattS For almost 4 weeks now. My apologies though, I think I must have incorrectly described what I'm experiencing, I don't believe I have...

Hi Michael, I will take time to read them more carefully. As I've mentioned in my original post though, I've been hearing/reading conflicting...

Hi @Michael Leigh I have a bluetooth speaker that reproduces a much wider frequency range than my phone. I'll try using that. Thanks for the...

Hi @Tom Cnyc I just wondered what you meant by saying you couldn't handle a bar after 3 months? Did it make your tinnitus worse? But after 6...

Thanks, @MattS. Think I'll go for the 17 and 26 filters, with maybe the solid insert for any particularly loud situations I might find...

Hi @Michael Leigh What would you advise in terms of sound enrichment? I mentioned up the page how I've been using a phone app called 'Sleepa',...

Hey Tom, What custom earplugs do you have? I was thinking of getting the ACS Pros, which have the following filters: 10, 15, 17, 20, 26, 27 or...

Was my post moved into this thread? Or did I do it accidentally somehow, as I'm pretty sure I created a new one as this one doesn't really answer...

Hi everyone, I just got tinnitus a little over 3 weeks ago and would like some advice on which custom earplugs to buy. I have read quite a lot...

I'm not really sure if I've been exposed to any loud sounds since I first noticed it? I haven't been to a bar or party (or other loud event)...

I'm quite happy to be wrong, but I was under the impression that I do have something wrong with my auditory system? I know tinnitus is understood...

Hi Michael, Apologies for not replying to your post back when you first sent it. I imagine you're probably right, I think I was just hoping it...

Thanks for the link, Bill, I've seen that post of yours before and it was very helpful. Is the jaw thing common whatever the cause of the...
