    Looking for Tips for Getting Over the Habituation Hump

    Hi Michael, I saw that you either currently use or have used the PureTone MM10. I was curious, did it seem to block sound? I only need the masking feature. I'm worried that it will block some of my hearing and then potentially make tinnitus worse.

    Why Does My Hearing Get Better for a Few Seconds After Popping My Ears?

    Follow me here... Feel free to chime in and let me know what's like for you. I will notice my ears need popped, so I will pop them (Frenzel, Valsalva, just a regular pop, whatever). Then, my hearing gets better for a few seconds until I swallow again. Once I swallow, there's a click, and...

    Gunshot Related Tinnitus Spike and Worsened Distorted Hearing (Dysacusis)

    Wow! These are the same symptoms I have been trying to live with for almost two years now. 1. Constant ringing. 2. Sound distortions - it's so distracting and disheartening - all day long. 3. I also have the really high pitched pulsating tinnitus that I can modulate with my jaw! My jaw...

    Dog Groomer, Loud Dryers, Lately I've Started Hearing Odd Sounds WITHIN External Sounds

    Good evening! I have the same issue as you. I have a constant ring, which is bad, but can be covered up. What can't be covered is the cicada-like sound that I hear along with other sounds. When I hear it most: fans, waterfalls and plastic bags. But I also hear a chirp like sound with other...

    Yeah. My reactivity was on a whole nother level for the first month or two. Not livable. It still reacts to footsteps, typing on a keyboard, etc. but it’s just a second-long high pitched noise. Before, listening to music in my car at low volume would cause a hum in my ear that would stick around...

    Tinnitus with a Movement-Based Bonus Sound

    Hello Chris, Do you still get the hissing sounds with head movements? I have a normal tinnitus, which isn't really a big deal. But what is bothersome is this hiss I get with head movements/ducking/neck movements. I'm trying to pin down the source. Have you gotten used to it, has it gotten...

    Audiogram and Other Hearing Test Results

    Audiologists and others are telling me that my loss and tinnitus is probably not noise induced but rather that it is caused by a middle ear problem. My tinnitus is around 1,000 Hz, constant ringing in the left, near constant in the right. I also have some hissing/reactivity that competes with...
