@SeanD5054 - slight ear fullness yes but now all gone and never heard robotic voices etc. Seven months down the line and any hearing issues are never on my conscience anymore, which is what dragged me into depression: the fear of being stuck with it for a lifetime. Some poor souls do have it...

@twa Much, much better thanks. Tinnitus was only really an occasional quiet low hum in my right ear and a flutter in my left ear. Barely hear hum now apart from at bedtime but too quiet to bother me. I think it was mostly psychological, i.e. being fixated with the problem. No ear pain at all...

Hi folks, I have been a longtime lurker on this forum and it has proved an invaluable lifeline to me after I developed hypercusis and TTTS since May this year. Like most people, our lives have been thrown upside down due to the impact of COVID-19 which only adds to our woes. A timeline of...

@ShaunR if it's any comfort I no longer get ear pain, just ache and sensitivity. Symptoms have been since early May. Ear flutter less too.

Sorry for not getting back to you on the other post, @ShaunR . My TTTs pain, as I put words in the mouth of yet another ENT, manifests in an irritated Trigeminal Nerve or the Stapedius / Tympanic Muscles overworking. Or it is referred pain from a neck nerve or C1 and C2 vertebrae. I don't get...

They definitely fade. My symptoms started in early May this year and I only get minor feedback from stuff like dishes, paper bags and cutlery etc. I have TTTS with ear fluttering. My H is very mild but I do have ear fullness and a dull ache which was painful to start with some days. Recovery is...

You are so young there is a significant chance of your symptoms improving. You need to have a professional have a word with your folks if they are not supporting you. Sleep as much as you can, eat healthily, bin the headphones for life and expose yourself to "tolerable" sounds only and rest...

These symptoms are indeed a complete enigma. Mine are much less severe than yours, even though developing TTTs I am sure it changes your sense of self identity. I also became Hyper Alert/Vigilant neurologically to the extent where I would always be on edge listening out for sounds. The positive...

I had a middle ear infection which lasted 3 months until all the trapped fluid behind my ear drum dissipated. It will go away eventually: keep going!

Thanks @Orions Pain. I have done that very thing, though now reading in moderation to limit too much morbid reading. Definitely insightful though. Thanks for the tip!

Hi all, I think I've read the entire forum front and back about five times now. It's been very helpful. Anyone else out there with these niche symptoms? Have TTTS with just fluttering, no thumps or clicks - and ear pain (left only.) that settles to a dull ache some days - but stress/anxiety...

Hey Linda - Like LiSass - I'm quite new to this world too, well since Mid May anyway. How are you coping? I suspect Ear Buds were the cause of my ear pain and TTTS / mild H (left ear only) which spikes with stress and some meds. Please let me know how you're doing. Stay strong and you, @LilSass...

Hi @T_Almost_Gone, Thankfully I don't have the full H shooting match and sound sensitivity is improving at glacial speed, quite a normal occurence after reading 100s of hours over the past 2 months on this lifeline forum. TTTS has been a big annoyance but this is now ebbing. My biggest issue...

Also, unless you can pin your H down to a specific loud or continued noise exposure, recovery will be most likely. Count ourselves lucky v the full version of H. No more trolling! Just think of the guys in army combat and what they endure. I'm 42 so may recover.
