Did you get any relief or reduction with the Botox? Also curious of the locations they injected. Assuming both masseters, but anywhere else?

Thanks for putting together the list of success/improvements. I've had it for about 4 months now. Two types of pain, one which came just recently...

How is it now? I don't grind my teeth either, I know mine is sound-induced, but I also wake up clenching my teeth a lot. The clenching won't show...

It's still happening on and off the past 3 days, though not nearly as severe as the first day. I'm absolutely sure it's the muscle tensing up now...

In my case I feel that it's a mix of both physical and psychological. I think any physical injury is going to hurt more if you think more about...

A few important notes about this: About the Frequency of Opening My Window 1. I said "a few times a day" initially. I want to clarify, it was a...

It's really hard to say because I was exposing in a more controlled way, but also taking in more silence. By controlled way, I mean it's a hotel...

Update for those who may encounter something like this: The unbelievable pain lasted 3 hours. Still very painful but not emergency room level. I...

Thanks Annika and I'm so sorry you're dealing with this too. Hopefully, you've seen some improvement since you last posted, even if a small one? I...

That's what I thought, but one of his other posts mentions "pain in ears" though doesn't describe what type.

Did you have the searing/burning delayed type of pain that lasted for hours/days after sound or the type that makes you flinch/feel like...

Did you have searing/burning pain that lasted for hours/days or the other more common type? I can't find any description of your symptoms in all...

@Contrast, @Taylorslay You both mentioned you had pain before and it got better. I think the obvious question anyone with pain hyperacusis...

I've since changed my theory as I've found many people who said theirs started out as hissing first. I also found a study, which I can't find at...

Many studies I've read mention that tension/pain in the ear can be caused by the Tensor Tympani muscle contracting and pulling on the eardrum....

I know I'm replying to a really old comment, but just for the sake of building anecdotal data on this... I believe mine may be from TTTS. I have...

I have pain hyperacusis in both ears and also have what I believe is TTTS with spasming in my right ear. The psychosomatic process I do feel may...

Mine is pulsatile 80% of the time and in sync with my heart. It sounds exactly like they described in this study you posted, a high-pitched type....

I'm new to this as well, so mainly just posting to let you know that I'm going through the exact same thing from microsuction/irrigation 2 months...

In that thread Dr. Sedley said: So this would not be an option for anyone with reactive tinnitus I imagine, right? Am I misinterpreting this?

I do now. I've had two major setbacks in one week, and noises outside like construction nearby or even just car doors shutting are really setting...

The researchers in this paper seem to think so... "The tensor veli palatini muscle is well known for its role in opening the Eustachian tube...

I get the spasms you mentioned as well, but mainly in response to only specific noises. Water from a faucet hitting the sink is a big one that...

Oh god. They need to ban microsuction already. Sorry I made you repeat yourself about the incident with your husband, I wasn't sure if that was...

This is what I have been wondering too as I was protecting from the very beginning and I do feel maybe it came about as a result. Not sure if...

I mean it's really just been reactive since the second week I had tinnitus, so I'd say microsuction/irrigation caused it (what I believe caused my...

This morning the new tone wasn't there, thankfully. I took 5 mg of Prednisone as I only had 15 mg left and knew it wasn't enough to be significant...

@russiancarl, thanks for that. I ended up taking 5 mg of Prednisone last night before going to sleep and this morning the new sound is gone, just...

Unbelievable. Yeah, reactive tinnitus is the most frustrating, agreed. I had a mishap a few hours ago where I dropped a mug on the ground and now...

So sorry to hear you have it too. Did something happen 8 weeks ago or did it just change out of nowhere for you?

No, I didn't. Yes, I know. I'd rather not dwell on what I should have done. I didn't know these things and it's too late to go back and do these...

Yes, this is exactly what I have. I have pain hyperacusis (feel burning hours or days after exposure to sounds like shower water hitting the...

Damn, that's the main one I wanted to see if maybe one of the muscles was involved in all this. I know it wouldn't be conclusive but might give me...

I would just like to know the degree of the damage.

I've had a hearing test already, minutes after the ear cleaning that caused my tinnitus and hyperacusis 7 weeks ago, but the other tests I'm more...

Mine was caused recently by an ENT doctor in a hospital in Thailand. Microsuction/irrigation, woke up at 4 am the next day with loud ringing in...

Completely agree. Microsuction needs to be banned. I've had a few milder days this week but it's very reactive with pain hyperacusis to sounds...

This is exactly what I have now 5 weeks in and I'm really struggling with this particular sound and how reactive it is to other sounds. I have...

That's a good point, I didn't think of it that way. I have been looking into this and asking people since and have realized that it can simply...

@Aaron91, I did start oral Prednisone 2 days afterwards for 15 days but it didn't work, even if it reduced the sound while on them. I should...

From a Facebook group: [ATTACH]

@Darwinism[/USER, did you see any more improvement since the last time you posted? I have tinnitus from the same thing and on my 4th week now. I...

I agree with Bjorn, that if the reactivity part went away it'd be much easier to cope with the regular tinnitus. I feel I'd actually be...

This is exactly what I have. It's always there but noises set it off worse and I can't turn my fan on because then it really gets pulsatile like...

Yes, I realize how old your post is but I found it by specifically looking for someone who had the same. You described my most annoying sound...

Thank you, I appreciate that advice. This is what I thought, to protect since day 1, but then you hear others saying you need to slowly expose...

Have you been avoiding sounds for the most part or trying to gradually reintroduce them with increasing volumes? I wish we knew how to go about...

So sorry :(

How have you been handling it? And no noticeable improvement since January? Are you trying to slowly increase your tolerance to sound by purposely...

I have tinnitus in both ears but my right ear (which was exposed to the sound) is still painful a month later. Regarding the reactivity, did...

Did the reactivity go away or improve at all? I'm 4 weeks in and dealing with the same thing and have only left my place for food while wearing...

I believe this is what caused mine. I was exposed to a loud sound through an earbud 4 days prior which only made my ear ache. I went to a doctor 4...

Not sure but I just tried this about 20 minutes ago for a second and it created a horrible, strange headache in the back top part of my head. I...

So sorry Dave :( I just looked in your posts and read your story. I'm glad you've taken charge of your life and found ways to do the things you...

Thanks for the replies. Mine was pure tone for the first few days, then started with the hissing and a week later turned into that plus insect...

I was exposed to a loud sound 3 weeks ago in one earbud in right ear. I went to the doctor 4 days later because I worried about the aching I had...
