    Do You Have Earache Along with Your Tinnitus? Just Curious

    Yeah paracetamol helps at least. I know it's a risk with ibrupofen so will probably not use it again. Yes I get different frequencies and its the high pitched ones that seem to physically stab into the ear. Not sure if that's the actual case but whatever it's doing its bloody painful. I don't...

    Do You Have Earache Along with Your Tinnitus? Just Curious

    I'm hoping the pain might go away over time. I guess there's no guarantee though being realistic.

    Do You Have Earache Along with Your Tinnitus? Just Curious

    The pain is like sharp needles in the ears. The higher pitched the tinnitus gets the more pain there is. Yes sometimes a dull earache accompanies it but not constantly. I take two 5000mg paracetamol per day and sometimes additional ibrupofen.

    Do You Have Earache Along with Your Tinnitus? Just Curious

    I have hyperacusis pain in my ears, brain, and upper throat. Inside the brain is worse and pretty scary as well as painful. Besides noise triggering it I found out this morning that sniffing jasmine oil now gives me immediate pain, too. This actually used to calm me down and cause no pain at all...

    In Loving Memory of Kristen Aber

    This is heartbreaking to read. I really am so sorry. She was so young and had everything to live for. The mix of physical and mental pain must have been immense for her to do this xx

    Acoustic Trauma: Loud Concert Stabbed My Ear

    @1000 I agree with Michael Leigh that an ENT should investigate the cause of the burning ear pain. The main thing is to protect from anymore dangerously loud sounds with ear protection when you're outdoors. Road drills, motorbikes etc, have potential to make you worse at the moment as I know to...

    Acoustic Trauma: Loud Concert Stabbed My Ear

    It should improve over time as long as you protect your ears when you go outdoors. Use quality ear plugs. Some folks use sound therapy but others say you need silence and time to let them heal. Sometimes the level of my tinnitus drops overnight so I'm hoping they're right. Good luck to you. Keep...

    Do You Still Watch TV?

    I'm not able to tolerate the sound on TV or radio now. I used to love music! If I attempt to 'be strong and play a few of my rock songs on YouTube it gets to a point where my brain seems to start deciphering the sound wrong, and at that point I start feeling a growing sense of unease to the...
