    Acoustic Trauma from a Concert — Ear Fullness Triggered by Sound?

    No tests or anything. It seems to fluctuate each day. I’ve had a mix of the pressure, swallowing sensation, sore throat, sinus blockage etc. so assuming it’s a mix of things.

    Acoustic Trauma from a Concert — Ear Fullness Triggered by Sound?

    Yeah that’s right. It seems to come in waves and occasionally feels normal for a few minutes, then goes back to feeling blocked. I’ve been having issues with pressure in the ear and blocked sinuses so not sure if it’s all connected. But as I said it could just be a coincidence and nothing to...

    Acoustic Trauma from a Concert — Ear Fullness Triggered by Sound?

    It’s like my left side is blocked. When I swallow it’s like I only feel the swallowing sensation on the right side. I also have some mild pain and tickle/itch sensation which comes and goes.

    Acoustic Trauma from a Concert — Ear Fullness Triggered by Sound?

    Oh right, I see. Personally I don’t think the Magnesium helps too much. Unfortunately I seem to have gotten worse. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but now I have had actual pressure blocking my ear for the past few days with symptoms of Eustachian tube dysfunction. So I still have the...

    Acoustic Trauma from a Concert — Ear Fullness Triggered by Sound?

    That’s good you don’t have any issue with hearing. For me it’s the same regardless of standing/lying down. Although sometimes there’s slight relief when the pressure from the pillow is applied to the ear. I also noticed when I pull the top of my ear, there’s some minimal relief. Yeah, I’ve...

    Acoustic Trauma from a Concert — Ear Fullness Triggered by Sound?

    Yeah it definitely seems like the muscles are all activated/tense - which I think is also causing this slight reduction/dampening of my hearing. Glad you’re getting better! I can certainly relate with the ups and down (physically and emotionally). Going from optimism as you said, to feeling...

    Acoustic Trauma from a Concert — Ear Fullness Triggered by Sound?

    I’m certainly glad you saw improvement! Hoping I experience the same over the next few weeks. It’s a very strange feeling and I can relate to the tightness you mention (seems to be across my whole left ear/head/jaw) + then there’s blocked feeling from within which dulls my hearing. I seem to...

    Acoustic Trauma from a Concert — Ear Fullness Triggered by Sound?

    Yeah it’s really tough to stay positive but we have to do what we can! A motorbike drove past me and the exhaust backfired from 1 metre away. That’s been 1 week and no improvement unfortunately. I wouldn’t say I have muffled hearing this time like in the past after prolonged noise exposure...

    Acoustic Trauma from a Concert — Ear Fullness Triggered by Sound?

    Sorry to hear that’s happened to you again, how frustrating... I’ve experienced fullness/muffled hearing in the past after being at a concert etc. but this is usually better by the next day. I’ve always been quite sensitive to sounds, even before my tinnitus (now I’m extra cautious of course)...

    Acoustic Trauma from a Concert — Ear Fullness Triggered by Sound?

    Hey, did your fullness ever improve? I'm having a similar experience at the moment. No hearing loss or change in tinnitus but fullness for the last 4 days after an exhaust popped right next to me.
