Could be, my eustachian tube was blocked on the right side for well over a year. Seems a lot better now. Best to let an ENT check you out. Those hearing aid places are in it to sell product.

I haven't posted in a while and I haven't visited this site much in the last few months. I thought I should check in to share what is new for me. I'm doing much better. It can't all be chalked up to the passage of time but that certainly has helped. I found that little coping things that I...

they only reduce by 19 dbs you might want to bring some backups, something like this. https://stanleypersonalprotection.com/Pre-Shaped%20Foam%20Earplugs The sound won't be great but it will protect much better. Consider getting some custom molds done for future concerts.

I love music more than I hate my tinnitus. I agree that the acoustic guitar seems to be louder than my little VOX amp when on 3 or 4. I had molds done and now I'm waiting for the plugs to be made. I will be back at it soon. Still not too sure about going to a live show though. I also enjoy...

I fired my GP of many years and my ENT who wasted about 3 months of my time. If your gut is telling you that they are too passive or dismissive of your condition move on.

If you have tight, painful jaw muscles, stuffy ears, or have trouble chewing or opening your mouth along with pain in the ear and clicking sounds when you open your mouth, then by all means get evaluated for TMJ. I had all of these symptoms and I have found relief of these symptoms from...

I thought I should bump this thread back up. I Have TMJ and had an appointment with the best TMJ specialist in Vancouver. He refitted my mouth guard and prescribed a pain killer and a strong muscle relaxant to take before bed to stop me from clenching when I sleep. After only a few days my ears...

If it works that is all that matters. t is a symptom with many different causes and it isn't one treatment fits all. I have had much relief from Physic and acupuncture as my t is partly due to tmj. Inflammation causes my t an several others that I know to spike so it would make sense that the...

Swelling in the jaw joints can have an effect on the ear and the ETs. It can even affect hearing. Treat all areas of swelling that you can. My sinuses are packed full of mucus according to my CAT scan, but because I have been using flonase I can breath normally through my nose. I do have...

I have TMJ which leads to inflammation of the ETs and backs up the sinuses. Clearing up the congestion is a challenge and this stuff seems to be doing the trick. Yes it's in the neti pot with the saline solution.

I've got several frequencies but the most annoying one is the low buzzy one that seems to be linked to inflammation my ETs. I think I might be on to a solution. My new doctor prescribed Budesonide / Pulmicort, the kind that is usually used in a nebulizer, to be used in a neti pot. I had my first...

I saw an oral surgeon last week for TMJ. He wants me to go on soft foods, plus heat packs on the jaw pretty much all the time and 600mgs of ibuprofen every 6 hours for 2 weeks. I may also go for botox shots in the jaw muscles if this doesn't do the trick. If your dentist does a pano have them...

Wow hearing loss from masking? What's you theory on this? Was it too loud? I mask daily though I'm trying to move away from fans and to more natural quite sounds.

I'd consider going to an oral surgeon and get a pano of your jaw .

I like your way of thinking; don't let T drive the bus. We need to love doing things more than we hate our t. So many t sufferers are also music lovers. We need to find ways to continue with out passions.
