Thanks mods for adding a poll!

My rule is to try and fly Business Class as much as possible, middle section (if a widebody) on an aisle. Windows are more noisy. And I also...

Prescribed by my physician. Never know when or where some potential disaster is going to hit.

Older thread... but new victim. On holidays/work trip overseas, at the check-in desk they had a ultrasonic humidifier or something similar about...

@Gabriel5050, yeah, I did not end up taking Prednisone, but ended up with a muffled left ear again this morning after accidentally letting an old...

Thanks for the reply Johan82. In the past I have used Prednisone, I had some quiet days, and some bad days. In the end, I think I almost went...

I feel ya... especially now when guys like to get them (de-)tuned to make the gurgling and popping noise. I never knew backfires and early...

Thanks for the reply. Up until the fall I had used them willy-nilly if I had a spike. But not high dosage, like maybe 15 mg for a few days, 10 mg...

I've been taking Magnesium and NAC all along. I have not heard of Nicotinamide Riboside nor tried it but I will look into it. The weird side...

Well... I went on a short low dose of Prednisone (similar to a Medrol dose pack). The tinnitus definitely ramped up... Not sure if it was from the...

Sorry to learn you are having a spike after the booster. I had the J&J which I believe works similar to the AstraZeneca... Now with Pfizer or...

I just got blasted by one of these First Alert units the other night... it was about 10ft away, though my door was slightly closed. Family member...

No opinions?

I took the J&J vaccine today. I will report back if anything is out of the ordinary.

I dunno... I am split between Pfizer and J&J. One shot in my opinion lessens the chances of bad side effects so I am leaning towards J&J.

Share Your Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccine Experience: Any Impact on Your Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

With an appointment for next week, I am sitting on the fence... seriously. Even in the Adverse Effects database, it's rather scary to read......

Thanks for your posting. Hopefully your T willl resolve... I know this sounds tough, but don't try and dwell on it too much.... also make sure...

Thanks for the info linearb. I looked at the VAERS website, but even though I am an IT person... could not quite figure out how to pull actual...

Makes me wonder if the polyethylene glycol (PEG) is the culprit for those who got tinnitus as a side effect or a spike for pre-existing...

Older thread, and not sure if you are still active... but how long did the Falcon 9 seem "loud"? One going on Monday, thinking of going while I...

I sound deadened my 2002 Audi A4 back around 2006 or so... went from generally quiet to a vault for most car noises. Though you do seem to notice...

Thanks for the feedback. I just had one done at the pharmacy... they use a shallow nasal swab (supposedly 96% as effective as the deep swab)....

Has anybody here taken the invasive "swab" test? I am thinking about getting tested, but deathly afraid of that jabbing in my nasopharynx of...

Just as a follow-up... I did have the spike recede somewhat and managed to catch a break with a few "very quiet" days last weekend. Came back a...

Yes, I believe it can. Also ramen tends to be loaded with MSG, which can also give you a spike.

Undergoing the same thing right now.... just try and find yourself a space where you can do something you enjoy and is "safe" in terms of any kind...

Yes, I have been taking mirtazapine for a dog's age... 15mg for sleep at night. I suspect I should have weened off it may moons ago, but...

Thanks... unfortunately the rental car keyfob with the panic button also is needed to start the car. I have the same fob at home and disabled the...

It's probably tympanosclerosis... I have this on my right ear drum. Basically calcium plaque deposits in the eardrum, often seen in people who...

Interesting, I just had what I believe a similar issue pop up yesterday. Have a Bose Sound Link II bluetooth speaker, and played an 8-hour...

ENTs when testing for Perilymph Fistulae will pop the tragus against the ear canal, as it can induce enough of a pressure change to trigger...

Yeah I didn't end up doing that as I've read a few stories on here where people pushed too hard and had ill effects after (although I would...

Ahh yes, the trifecta... reminds me of the family condo in Florida (which I would love to go to right now, but considering they are jackhammering...

Thanks for the reply... yeah, I suspect the "mental shock" of it has been more damaging to my T than the actual noise. Just seems like I've been...

Not to mention the bigger the dog, the bigger the stoop and scoop!

Generally size and loudness of the bark of the dog correlate... not that I am dog expert, bug I can see the pug being quieter (but how yappy they...

You got that right. They say trouble comes in 3's... and hope that was my 3!

Yeah, what makes it worse is just the pure high tone. Wish there was an option for a more pleasing sound. Did you suffer any aftereffects as a...

I think how it embeds in our brains depends how we react to it... in all my youth, I used to go to clubs, concerts and come home with T and...

I get the occasional twitch or rumbling ear, but not frequently nor for any significant duration.

Yes I do. Crackling when I yawn and swallow.... but on the plus side, I never have a problem equalizing on airplanes ascending or descending.

Avoid if possible. I have had this done before and would get temporary spikes. Once had a German ENT in Dubai do one, and I have no idea if he...

My guess is it's related to the tensor tympani... when I yawn, my eardrums definitely stiffen up and I can't hear much except some roaring and a...

Thanks for the reply. I don't know if I can attribute yesterday's quietness to the Pred or the fact I took a long nature run the day previous......

At least on the Dash 8 (which is the precursor to the current Q400 turboprops), I can remember sitting more or less in line in front of the prop...

Yes, I always wear protection on planes... even on A380 which is notoriously quiet (esp in the lower back). Have only been on two turbo-props...
