Thanks for replies. Universal @kingsfan
Anyone have earplugs recommendations for concerts? My sister has lots of gigs coming up so I want to get her a pair (she doesn't like foam)
I hope you have a nice time! Your friend sounds very considerate- I'm sure you'll be fine:) it's also good to get out and test to see what your...
Thank you. Not experienced it before. Occured the day after I spent the evening at a friend's drinking/playing video games
I've been experiencing sporadic pain hyperacusis over the past week - split second shooting pains in my left ear. Praying this disappears
Yes it's possible but might require asking others to speak a little louder when they talk to you
I think consensus is foam plugs are best for circumventing occlusion effect
The devil's orchestra in my ear playing the loudest set in months. Turn it down please guys people are trying to sleep!
Ergh I hate them & they just seem to be everywhere. I can barely stand the *beep* noise contactless card machines make..
Great stuff mate, happy for you. Just remember to stay vigilant!
Walked into the local Sainsburys for 30 seconds without earplugs. What happens? Piercing anti-theft alarm goes off 3 times right next to me!
Fellow T/H sufferers, do you state that you have a disability when you apply for jobs?
Pretty sure isotretinoin played a part in my tinnitus. I was on it at the time of my noise trauma, but others were also exposed to the noise and...
That's horrific. I'm so sorry.
I second @kingsfan. Deeply inserted foam plugs are what you need. Occlusion is barely audible, if at all
Unsure atm, would like to pursue a phd though! Glad to hear your t is easing. Ah habituation is a nightmare isn't it. I hope you continue to...
Best description I've seen
Hey @Strawberryblonde! On the final stretch.. just need to write my dissertation. Ears are a bit shite but can't complain too much. Thanks for...
I think this is the one my Mum wanted me to go to once. Good thing I didn't. Sorry for your experience there
I find chess helpful
Halo 2 was the game of my childhood!
*also a high pitched whistle sound which is more common than the alien insect noise
@Sammy0225 Most things. Sometimes I hear what I can only describe as an alien insect noise over everything. Fortunately it's settled down a bit
Some snaps from a trip to West Sussex. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I love your hoodie man!
Ah well glad to hear you're doing ok at least. Hope you have more ups :)
Thank you @Strawberryblonde I appreciate it! :) Hope you're doing okay? x
My left ear T reactivity is terrible right now. Feeling sad.
Thank you Nadia. A minor spike so far, hoping no damage was done.
3 weeks into my masters, the fire alarm in the library goes off right next to my ear. Didn't go off once during undergrad. Go figure :')
What are they made from? I need some no occlusion customs
I'm sorry you're having a bad night @Strawberryblonde :( Fwiw of all the success stories i've read I would surmise that the rate of recovery is...
@Steph1710 No just my foam plugs. Tbh I forgot how loud the tube was :o a trip on the Jubilee line is what I imagine being dragged to hell by a...
@Strawberryblonde No not yet! Decided I'm going to see how I fare on campus with my foams first
Return of the reactive inside head noises since taking a 4-stop trip on the London underground last week. Oh how I've missed you :')
@Steph1710 lol!! I bet you looked fab ;) @MaxRabbit I just want something 'normal' (i.e. not bulky ear defenders) to wear while I'm walking...
I have a pair of Senner 20db plugs but I've never been able to get used to the sound of my footsteps when I wear them- that's why i've always used...
I might get a pair so I can wear them around campus & not have to fiddle around with foam plugs multiple times a day
Does anyone wear over ear headphones (no music on) in public places just to soften the noise?
All the best my guy!!!
Does exercise not exacerbate your pulsatile tinnitus Steph? The last time I got my heart pumping during a mild jog it felt like my head was going...
Went on the London Underground yesterday (earplugs in). Immediately regretted it. Forgot how horrific the noise was, yikes.
Good luck twa!
I get similar thoughts when I go through spikes. Give it time, I know it's tough
Maybe because it's hayfever season but my ear canals have been unbearably itchy recently
I miss that carefree feeling of sitting on a bus with a pair of headphones on watching the world go by!
@Wrfortiscue Different! It sounds like a bug/insect & is reactive @Christiaan Haha why thanks - it's a privilege!
You and me both aura! My emotions are fluctuating literally minute to minute. Feel like I'm going crazy. We'll get through this!!!
After 2+ years T has finally spread to my good ear. A little reactive buzz that I can hear above most noises. Feeling blessed :)
Ah hope the spike has receded since you posted this aura! I'm going through one myself, hence why I'm on here. My Mum mentioned n-c headphones...
@Rockman Something to do with the engine's vibration perhaps? I didn't want to take a risk and take the plug out incase it was even louder!...
On a bus today with my plugs in & the engine sounded overwhelmingly loud. Convinced it would've been quieter had I taken my plugs out. Odd!
My left ear was a bit sore but I'm ok. Yeah it's so stupid! I hope you've been keeping well? xx
Today I instinctively launched a mug against the wall out of frustration at losing a game of online chess. It was loud. I am very stupid.
Anyone here with experience of taking Colchecine? On a 3-month course to treat Pericarditis
Thank you Capstan. Great to hear from you! I hope you're doing ok
My T always gets a bit crazier when I take ibuprofen
@kingsfan do you use foam plugs/custom plugs for different things? Since I began using foam I pretty much stopped wearing others. I barely get any...
Thanks Steph ♡ though I don't think I'll be going on another anytime soon while this spike persists lol. @aura hahaha I like figs! But I like...
@buttercake haha yes she was very nice!
