Thank you so much. Me too , I've experienced many door slqms etc , especially in the beginning as I had to learn to be alert. Now I developed a wild animal alertness to noises ,heh, so I must say lately I didn't get that much of those, but this little bastard yesterday burtsing in my small ...

Hi everyone.. Not only I'm stressed due to the flight I'm about to take, but while packing at home I stepped on one of those bubble cushion they use to protect merchandise (it's like a small bag made of very thin plastic filled with air) . Of course, it burst under my feet with a loud noise. I...

I didn't read all the answers , only your first post, so forgive me if I write sth that has already been written. I hope you took your supplements on your way back, which could still help your hearing cells and then kept taking them for a few days. I also believe big part of it is your stress...

There is NO reliable protection from the noise at the concert of that kind. Remember that earplugs that say 30 db reduction in reality diminish the sound by a few db only ( there are some threads on the forum about it . ) Secondly, know that you cannot protect from the bass sound ( bone...

T is often related to hormones.. it seems that sugar level has sth to do with that to. Let alone anxiety, depression..You had many basis to develop it, but you can't stay at this point. See some docs, do the exams most of us here did in the beginning. Even if it doesn't dissapear, it can...

Hi, almost an year later, I 'm going through external otitis as well. First few days I dodn't notice any impact on T on that side, but even if I do today, I believe it may be caused by the fact, that the canal is swallen, so the sounds getting by the brain get distorted - well, sth is...

Be careful with melatonin, it's not neutralto the body, especially in the young age when you probably don't lack any in your organism. Not only can you seriously mess with your natural hormonal cycle , but new studies talk about seriously negative imact of this hormon if taken too much. Mind...

My t tends to get louder when I stay in total silence. It's not only that I hear it more because it's silent around - it does get louder and louder whereas some noise can put it down for a while, so I simply never sleep in silent cause it would be impossible. My t is far too intrusive. I play a...

Tinnitus cannot and does not cause hearing loss...that's not at all how it works.

Two days later your spike may have nothing to do with the event you describe. Personally it's overprotecting that gives me long spikes and not very short exposures to sudden loud noise ( which always lasts short cause the rule of thumb is to have hands free to be able to cover the ears. ) What's...

Sorry to answer only now ( I don't visit this forum everyday anymore ).. so how did it go ? Any better a few days later ? Tell me about it..I have a damn spike only from taking a tramway yesterday..First time in two years I took public transport for so long as an hour and T spiked . I asume it's...

Hard to say what level of sound you were exposed to since you haven't measured it and we weren't there..My guess is live music in a restaurant can't be as loud as a concert, but we also have different tolerance ( possible also physical tolerance ) to noise, so hard to say..it can just be a...

Pushing the body's limits by being overburdened with work, not getting enough sleep for long periods is what triggers T in many people so it's up to you. T or not T , never underestimate the impact of your lifestyle on your health in general and ask yourself if it's surely worth it . I don't see...

I don't force myself to pretend things are fine if they're not, only I believe by socialisation we instinctively behave as if it was ok while being among people. Be that despite T or any other source of suffering. If I'm well enough to be around people, that means I will talk to them pretty...

Ears first, hubbies after ;) Doesn't he know our problem enough ? He shouldn't even be surprised you moved. Mine knows well and after two years has a noise - radar in mind, almost as big as mine. Or when he goes somewhere alone ( cause I simply stopped going with him to loud places ) the first...
