Long story. I spent years working in noisy environments and was doing very well until 2022. One day, I was sitting with a colleague in a work van when he slammed the door with all his strength. I immediately felt a sharp pain in my ear. It was likely barotrauma. From that moment on, I became...

He also has multi-tone tinnitus. This condition takes everything from me. Combined with noxacusis, hyperacusis, tonic tensor tympani syndrome, and other ear problems, it becomes extremely difficult. My advice to you is to protect your ears, because you never know when things might get worse...

Even if the middle ear is overly mobile and hurts a lot with sudden sounds, to the point where it feels like the bones are touching, I do not think that is safe. Please be careful with sudden sounds, as they can damage the middle ear, not necessarily the cochlea.

Sorry to butt in. It has been two years since my injury, and I feel that my middle ear — or rather the membrane — is in worse condition. It feels loose. The trigeminal nerve has been damaged because I feel pressure on the right side of my head — above the eye, below the eye, and around the ear...

Do you mean TTTS as a sharp, immediate pain that happens with sudden sounds, even if they are not necessarily loud, like the sensation of someone sticking a needle in your ear?
