Maybe if you have custom plugs, you can order weaker filters and incrementally swap them out over time. Or just try going for a short time without earplugs and slowly increasing the amount of time you do that per day over however long you need until you're more comfortable.- Ace

@kingsfan to make a driving pun, no need to race to it. One day years ago I had a big spike after driving without earplugs, so I attributed my spike to just that, but I've had similar spikes on days when I was earplugged up. Still my reluctance to drive long without earplugs remained for years...- Ace

I drive many hours a day for work. For years I was doing it with earplugs in the majority of the day but nowadays I'll drive most of a 12 hour day without them in and it doesn't effect me at all 👍- Ace

Recurring Issue with Flying: Unilateral Pain and Temporary Hearing Loss
All I know is that even before I had hearing disorders, this is something I've always been told you need to do when adjusting altitude, especially at a fast rate, like during ascent and descent. Don't quote me on this, but as I understand it, once you're already up in the air at a steady... -
Recurring Issue with Flying: Unilateral Pain and Temporary Hearing Loss
Some observations from my trip: I took a decongestant (Pseudoephedrine) about an hour before the first flight and wore earmuffs as opposed to earplugs. I was hearing like usual when I got off the plane, but it's worth noting while on that flight I took my earmuffs off for a moment here and... -

Recurring Issue with Flying: Unilateral Pain and Temporary Hearing Loss
Yes @ZFire, it's coming up. I'll have two flights, one later this week and one early next week. For what it's worth, last month I had three flights and was only affected in the way I described after one of them. -
Recurring Issue with Flying: Unilateral Pain and Temporary Hearing Loss
I do try to yawn and drink a lot of water, especially on the ascents and descents. Interestingly, both times that the issue occurred were when I was chewing gum on the way down, though I certainly wouldn't claim that chewing gum was the cause. The possibility of the earplugs preventing air... -
Recurring Issue with Flying: Unilateral Pain and Temporary Hearing Loss
Hey y'all, this is not technically a tinnitus issue although it does most certainly coincide with a temporary increase in tinnitus. Out of my last four flights, two of them had me feel pain in my right ear during the descent and when I took my earplugs out at the airport, I noticed that my... -

I use times like these as a compass to look back on when sh*t gets bad. So many times my T has spiked bad for a while, and I would think the worst, and subsequently got through it. With all that experience I'm becoming more resilient during the spikes. I guess that's all I can say for now. I'll...- Ace

2022, tinnitus was unpredictable. There were many days I didn't pay it much mind, but it was rare that I could go more than a week without T annoying the hell outta me.. Maybe more than half the days of last year were crap. 2023 I ain't frequently bothered by T. A day or some hours here n...- Ace

That day the doc confirmed that there was fluid build up, which is common when you get on the plane too soon after having a cold.- Ace
