Hi all!
I got Tinnitus (both ears) about 20 years ago and after some time and the common treatments (which didn't help) I habituate and was able to live a normal life. Of course I had a few short and longer setbacks but found my way back to life everytime.
Last summer my Tinnitus become worse and since that I'm a bit struggling. I also had a few darker days with panic and anxiety again but now it's kind of "okay" again. But I have to say that my mind is still busy with Tinnitus thoughts most of the day - nut without panic or fear. So I fully accepted my Tinnitus (as I did before) and I can live with it, even though I wished I didn't have it of course
But since one or two weeks my right ear hurts a little bit. It's not a bad pain but a bit uncomfortable. It is hard to describe, it feels like my ear is exhausted from a very loud disco or something but I wasn't in a loud environment of course. Maybe it's because my Tinnitus is very loud (about 35db 8khz)? Not sure. I'm also not sensitive to sounds or something.
My ears got checked by an ENT about 3-4 weeks ago (before this starts) and according to him everything is OK. Nevertheless it could be a physical thing which occurs after I met the ENT but if I'm honest I don't think so. I can imagine this is a mental thing because of my loud T.
What do you think? Did you experience something near it? Would you call this also hyperacusis even though I'm not sensitive to sounds?
Many thanks in advance!
