    @DimLeb I should add that I also have a history of neck pain and burning pain in my hands, arms and shoulders. The pain has been off and on throughout the last 5 to 10 years. The twitching and vibrating has been there constantly since it started in December of 2023. The MEM comes and goes. My...

    @DimLeb I have multiple herniated discs and bone spurs in my neck causing moderate to severe spinal stenosis. About 15 months ago, I started to get constant twitching and vibrating on the left side of my body along with MEM with my left ear. Was finally referred to a neurologist and then an MRI...

    @Yellowblue44 Most days, I would say that it is moderate (the intensity and the tones change hour to hour). I've had tinnitus for nearly half of my life and at this point, I think it probably would be strange not to have it. I've gotten quite used to it.

    @Yellowblue44 I do have a degree of hyperacusis. I know it's not recommended but I usually wear cotton in my right ear. I would say that my tinnitus has ranged anywhere from moderate to severe over the entire time that I've had it.

    Over the weekend, I came down with a sore throat and runny nose. Out of curiosity, I used an expired Covid rapid test and it came back positive with two solid red lines.

    Thank you for asking. My ears have been pretty stable this past year. I still have twitching and tingling down the left side of my body but it's been pretty mild lately (it tends to wax and wane in intensity). I just got an MRI done today and will hopefully have a follow up appointment with the...

    @ECP I know you asked back in June but I just got the MRI done an hour ago (there was a wait of around nine months). It was about 30 minutes long and very noisy but I had double ear protection on. Sounds do seem softer for the moment but so far my tinnitus is still the same as it was before.

    I finally got to see a neurologist. He believes that my symptoms are psychosomatic but he'll refer me to an MRI of my brain and neck anyway.

    @RunningMan I was able to see an audiologist right away in December 2022. Unfortunately, it can take months to years to see any medical specialists in my area.
