    Teeth Cleaning with Ultrasonic Cleaner — All Went Well

    I went to the dentist today to try to get a cleaning, which was needed before they can do some other stuff. I told them about the tinnitus and stuff and they did try gently to use the ultrasonic scaler, but I only lasted a few minutes before they had to stop. It was so loud, and it probably...

    Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Dentist Filling?

    There is a new paper out regarding this. Although it focuses only on the ultrasonic scaling part of the dental cleaning, but it should still be useful. Efficacy of active noise-canceling headphones in patients undergoing ultrasonic scaling I do find this bit in the article interesting: These...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    After two months the elevated tinnitus still persists. Much louder in my left ear, and new sound in my right ear for two months now. Apart from that my right eyelid now twitches from time to time, also started after 2nd dose. And with my luck I will also have the mentioned heart problems down...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Got my 2nd dose of Pfizer two days ago. On the day of vaccination there was nothing. But yesterday was like the worst day ever, never been so sick in my life. Had massive migraine, nausea, chills, everything in my body hurt and I could barely move. I don't ever want to experience something like...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Got my first Pfizer dose 2 weeks ago. I definitely feel like my tinnitus got louder, but it's hard to specify. I think I also got some hissing in my right ear, which was previously mostly in my left ear. Also got some facial numbness on my right side. As most others I didn't intend to take the...

    Dentist... Laser vs Ordinary?

    Yeah I'd also like to know this. I find it really hard to believe that a single visit could be the cause of one's T. Even before I had T I visited the dentist regularly but as far as I remember the noise way annoying but I never really considered it as loud at the time, although of course my...

    Felt Like a Gigantic Loser at Christmas Party

    Normal people will never understand how it feels, they might pretend to, but they won't. So it's fruitless to even try to make them understand. Just tell them to mind their own business.

    Work as a Bike Mechanic with Tinnitus & Hyperacusis for 4.5 Months Now

    Sorry to hear about your tinnitus. I also cycle and that is always my fear, a tire exploding while I'm inflating it. But I've even heard stories of them just randomly exploding when riding. By normal tires exploding you mean the tires with a tube? Didn't know that tubeless exploding made a...
