Hi everyone,
I haven't been on here in a while. Things have been pretty good since I had an acoustic trauma 5 years ago and a significant setback 4 years ago. After much suffering and many small setbacks with hyperacusis and tinnitus, I'm stable now, although my ears never returned to their normal pre-injury state. Occasionally, the more injured ear feels plugged, and my tinnitus volume can fluctuate depending on stress or if I yell or cry. The hyperacusis has improved tremendously, apart from still being sensitive to dishes, cutlery, and glass.
For the first time since my injury, I'm going on a 3-hour flight, and I'm very nervous. Even when my ears were healthy, I sometimes had bad ear pain during landing. I'm really scared of making myself worse again.
Has anyone had a similar experience with flying?
Thank you.
