I had hearing test today and have good news! My hearing is basically the same than 6 years ago and it's actually even improved a bit on 8khz area! So that's good news!

Amusement Parks are hazardous. Even with ear plugs I'm probably gonna pay for today's festivities. Just wanna live a little before I die.

Sucks. I used to be a Disneyland passholder. Practically lived at that park. I miss it.

@kingsfan I feel like I've been lucky so far that my t has mostly stayed constant. Even though it's insanely loud I cope pretty well overall. I know I'm playing with fire doing some of these activities but I'd rather take some risk then fold completely.

Unfortunately, I mowed the lawn again and it caused me great pain around my body and face. So I will be avoiding doing that.....forever if possible...
henkess
how could it make pain around the face and body?
Marina Moon
@henkess I was doing alot of twisting and turning with the lawn mower and that aggravated my back pain which is connected to my face pain. It's all muscle pain. It's a confusing situation sadly, I'm still trying to seek help from doctors :(
henkess
Oh sorry to here that hope i gets better :( have you tried paraflex. I have it for spasmer in ear, and muscle pain. It works for me but i need to take it later in the day i get so tired when i take it😆 My spasmer in ear gets better in 4 hours, and my muscle pain to.

Big progress in june 2025 ! Tinnitus stabilizing, hyperacusis softening a bit, shorter spikes :)

Going to visit a doctor today. 2 months since the event, should've gone earlier but maybe if I get some help / medication for this.

Let me know what the doctor told you! Would be nice to know.
I went through your posts and I can relate. One thing struck me though, something I do a lot too: you dwell on and ruminate about what has happened. Yes, you got unlucky 2 months ago, but instead of looking back at something you can't change, you need to leave that behind and look forward. I do this too, but it only makes me depressed.
S
@Maruashen I try not to ruminate, as you said, it doesn't help. What happened happened. I do try to focus on positive things. It's not always easy...

Doctor sends me to ENT. I know it won't help, but maybe if I get some medication to try out. At least I'd like to do hearing check. And there is a possibility for a therapist.

You're gonna want to go in with a plan to advocate for yourself, whether it's trying something like gabapentin, LDN, or the myriad of other medications that have been discussed here on TT. Otherwise they'll just tell you to get used to it or get white noise generators.

Yesterday seemed good in comparison to most days... but back to the normal... who knows maybe there is hope.

Of course I write this and this week has been terrible... ugh. How much longer can I do this?!

18 months since I got H. Doing much better now. Able to go outside with ear plugs. Watched latest squid games season with decent volume. Still taking Nortriptyline. Although very low dosage 5 mg.

I'm happy to hear you're doing better! May I ask if you've ever tried clomipramine, and if so, what made you switch to nortriptyline? I've never taken either one, and I still can't decide which one I would ask for.
Heal82
I started using Nortriptyline due to a cyst developed inside the roof of my mouth. I developed it 3 months after I developed H. Not sure whether it is in any way related to H. Mouth Dr has advised me to undergo operation which I have resisted until now

Also, just to be clear I have never tried Clomi..

To me, it's not the sound that's worst. It's the physical sensation. Aching ears, burning, headache, fullness, the feeling something is broken.

Why does it feel like my head is between a bench vise? What a terrible feeling. I never really wanted to come back here. I was doing well. One stupid mistake when I just wanted to feel normal again. It's been 2 months already.
Tryn2BHopeful
I couldn't agree more. Same for me back in December.... and every time I feel like I am turning a corner BOOOM back again.

trigeminal nerve irritation?
orenge01
I now have fullness in both ears, dunno whats happening but it feels like I have earplugs in even if I dont have them in, it's some weird persistent sensation. Not sure :/
Tryn2BHopeful
It sucks realizing that no matter how much I want this to be done... it never will be. Tinnitus doesn't take a vacation, and it doesn't care about yours.

I still hold out hope even after 9 years, miracles happen.
Tryn2BHopeful
Hope is all we got I suppose.

@cjbhab - 9 years. God bless you. I'm noise trauma after noise trauma at my home with child. Food kills me. Everything. Man … I'm really scared today.
