Separate names with a comma.
I would say mild, but it's all subjective to how you feel about it. If your T was unmaskable no matter what and then dropped to those levels, you...
Crackle when swalling is normal to everyone. I'm not sure why it's seen as a bad thing on this site. Most people dont hear it bc they arent...
After the 2+ years of being on this sight, seeing lots of people come and go. Most people get better one way or another.
@Marina Moon exactly, fluttering is a middle ear (bones) hitting your ear drum in response of stimuli such as noises and other things, could be...
thats all that noise is, just mucus around the membranes making a noise when opening and closing. If there is too much mucus like when you are...
I promise you that your ears have always crackled, you just never paid attention to it until you had ear issues. Your brain is just hyper focused...
This is gonna sound like I'm gas lighting you, and I used to think what and how you are thinking about it. I thought the crackling was a bad thing...
What do you mean by popping? Like your middle ear bones are thumping your ear drum? Or the popping crunchy noise when you swallow? kind of like a...
In my own theory, I would say it is a form of reactive tinnitus, but the big one that is the most worrisome, imo, is the type of reactive tinnitus...
It's diplacusis, not reactive tinnitus. It's your ears that can't completely pick up on all the frequencies being output, usually from a white...
The whole next day until I wake up again
Every single time lol and sometimes it doesn't disappear until the next day lol
Yes, and yes
Is your partner not supportive? Or making your situation harder to deal with?
It's made many people worse. Plus if you have TTTS then your muslces are definitley working.
If you can, avoid the Acoustic reflex test if you have bad T and or noise sensitivity. It plays tones in your ears up to 80dbs.
A lot more people with chronic T have variable T that just doesn't bother them to think about it in way. @gameover
When I first got chronic tinnitus, I would get SBUTT a lot, multiple times a day sometimes, but it's really settled down over the last 2 years. I...
Huge uptick in T with Dentist @kingsfan They sell earplugs for dentists for hearing loss. Hopefully they realize that if they are getting hearing...
After getting T I trained my tiny muscles to be able to pop my E tubes without having to blow air lol
Yes, I had a measured 45db dip at 8K, that reduced to a 25db dip over the span of a year. Haven't had a hearing test in a year, and I never had a...
Luckily we are in the most medically advanced, and researched time period for T so hopefully in our lifetime! CBT is one of the biggest reasons...
There's a ton of reasons. A couple are that a lot of people get to the point where it doesn't bother them, and very few cases are bad enough to...
It'll only get better and easier unless something traumatic happens again. You'll even be able to ignore the bad days.
Brain zaps are a feeling not T, in to which I believe MiaVIL is referring to. Brain Zaps are due to the malfunction of neurotransmitters as they...
does it sound like a high pitch electrical spark? @MiaVIL
Pretty much @ZFire
mine got worse before it got better 6-8 months
I personally know multiple people with T who's theirs went away. And mine has improved. Take that as you will. Once I accepted I had T though,...
TTTS is where your middle ear thumps your ear drum. @MiaVIL
2 years since an urgent care Dr. (That I wasn't even supposed to see) said I had an ear infection and prescribed the most ototoxic ear drops and...
Yes. Make sure you keep your ears clean from infection and keep your protection clean as well.
I used to be very adamant of having pelters in every room bc of those things lol I’m more lax now but I do have a pair in important rooms
I also stopped everything loud in my life, stopped headphones, made sure to be as quiet as possible and wore musician earplugs outside my house...
Mine got worse and worse over the course of 8 months and then finally started reducing over the next year and half, albeit in a non linear...
I always felt that static was soothing, kind of like my own white noise. A lot of the T reducing modes from hearing aides use static to mask....
Was me for the first year... It Will get better. I can fall asleep with blaring T now. When my T is quiet it actually freaks me out more lol like...
Literally the rest of the day.. most the time @RunningMan
2 years* @HearingHell my bad I was typing too fast haha
I’ve been there brotha I’m proof that there’s another side. There’s a lot of people who’ve made it. There’s people when I first joined on the...
And there is people with loud 24/7 tinnitus that they couldn't care less about and doesn't bother them because "it doesn't cause physical pain"...
@gameover ver literally everyone was trying to put me on them, but i stuck to my guns. @HearingHell they slowly went away over a 2 cource, they...
Reactive H isn't really a thing imo. Took my reactive T and H about a year and a half of resting before I saw Signiant change. At 8 months is...
Reactive T = It gets louder to other sounds and/or rides over other sounds instead of being able to be masked. H = When things sound too loud....
I play a bunch of games but mainly warzone. I think it gets quit from Residual inhibition. What about you?
They tried so hard to shove AD's down my throat when I went to in patients but I refused bc of the gamble it has on T. I'm sorry, it like every...
Until there’s something else that’s worse. My worse is my esophagus doesn’t work properly so I can’t eat or drink without throwing up. And now...
99% of the time no matter how bad my T is that day, when I play video games with my 2 speaker set up (like headphones) my T diminishes.
They definitely exist @gameover
Alcohol always quiets down my tinnitus, and I'm sure it has something to do with GABA and the brain. But alcohol will make tinnitus worse in the...
It took me 2 years to mostly not care even when i have the random few and far between severe day. When it's bad bad it's just background noise,...
Chronic pain is no joke either. Everyone has their own battles, I just wish people were able to recognize and empathize more with T, especially in...
I attempted suicide twice, and was in three different in-patient hospitals, hoping praying for a cure, and now I'm the latter. A cure would be...
I'd say that it's pretty normal. Somethings you get woken up in the middle of sleep cycles so the noise isn't compeltly shut off. Sometimes it'll...
My ears used to beep and sound like it was sparking electricity.
I can make it feel like its in my ears and head all by how I focus on it
Everyone in life has their own battles, or eventually will run into one. Not many have it easy forever.
I think a combination of resting your ears and reintroducing after you feel comfortable and ready @RunningMan idk though this whole shit is a...
@RunningMan but what's funny is that my HA/TTTS didn't get better until I stopped wearing those earplugs everywhere unless it was actually loud....
@RunningMan I got hit hard with severe tinnitus within the first week, and a month later HA/TTTS. I wore musician earplugs outside the house with...
