@Boy Helios awesome thanks for this story! I was told I had barotrauma, which caused ETD (or so I think), after a flare gun (noise exposure). My hearing is good, excellent even, and can be seen in my hearing tests (my bad ear tests even better than my good), but I still have ETD which drives me...

I know what you mean about hidden hearing loss, but I seem to have "dog-like" hearing. The first test was a month and a half after my acoustic trauma from a flare gun, the second test is months later (right before I started laser therapy), and the third test is the high-frequency test. My bad...

There are people who have issues that don't relate to hair cells. For instance, my hearing is apparently normal on tests. My bad ear even tests better than my good. I have some eustacian tube problems and tinnitus after noise exposure from 2 years ago. Possibly due to chronic inflammation. For...

I have a theory that many people who have other health issues-autoimmune, chronic inflammation, etc., may also have tinnitus or ear problems that are slow to heal due to their lowered immune systems. This is the case with any other health issue, so why not the ears? I also have had other...

I haven't been so active on here. update with the laser: seeing improvements. My tinnitus has spikes when I do a session, but it then equilizes to its normal level before lessening in volume. The type of noise has also changed to be less intrusive.I'm hopeful these ear issues will eventually...

Luka! How's that popping? Any relief? Wishing you good things :) :)

Interesting about the air conditioner @FERNANDO GIL, interesting that you caught on to that. Most people don't realize the implications of indoor air quality, and how it is extremely impactful on health. Tons of studies on this. Air quality was also what originally started my h and t...to a very...

Awesome Luka thank you for this! What was the consensus on your MRI? Really interested to hear about it! Wishing you good things!

@attheedgeofscience if you don't mind I would really like your analysis/thoughts on my tests. :)

Here is the high frequency hearing test done before my LLLT treatment. I had been wearing an earplug for months in my right ear before this hearing test. I'm not sure why the high frequency portion is written out differently. Left ear- fine Right ear-the one that is giving me problems

Here was my first hearing test (speech frequencies) a month and a half or so after my trauma

Here are my OAEs

@Nucleo ok finally here they are. Here is the tympanogram

@Nucleo yes that's right. This is not a tympanogram. I know, it's very strange. This is how it looks, you're right. However when I asked the person testing he said it was an imperfect test which is why it's not really used. He said if my right ear is my troubled ear, that now we can see it is...
