I had my surgery yesterday. My doctors let me wear my earplugs in surgery & hand brace. All went well, waiting for pathology. T/H are same.
Can anything be done for the intracranial stenosis?
Was the CT scan loud? I've been avoiding doing an MRI and/or a CT because of the loudness. Did they tell you if anything can be done for this...
@Jupiterman my surgery is the 29th. They postponed it for a few weeks. I'm planning on wearing earplugs. I'll let you know how it goes. :-)

Thanks guys! Did they help you?
Has anyone tried an SSRI or St. John's Wort that did not cause an increase in T?
Has anyone found a quieter MRI machine? I was supposed to get a MRI over a year ago, but have not found a quieter machine.
Does anyone know of a quieter juicer or cold press for making juices?
I would say more tolerance or reaction to it has gotten better. I try to ignore it and go on with my day.

I'm sorry, hang in there. It gets better.
Yes, my doctor gave me antibiotics and a round of steroids. It helped and I also stay on top of taking antihistamines when I feel fluid in my...

@kingsfan and @Joshua Macleod thank you for the suggestions!

Stress, loud environment, lack of sleep, lots of people?
Please give your recommendations for comfortable headphones (earmuffs) for protection to wear over earplugs. I'd like to go to a movie.
Praying everyone has a calm, peaceful day.
If it's a bad day and my ear is really tight, I will take it twice a day with lots of water.

The distortion has gotten better. I've been taking antihistamines & Mucinex to keep a handle on fluid in the ears. I'm also avoiding dairy.
