    What's a good natural alternative to prednisone for bringing down ear inflammation? My body is compromised now, so don't feel I can take it.

    Trying to Understand Hyperacusis or TTTS (Tensor Tympani Syndrome)

    Yup, I'm going through something similar right now. Was exposing my ears to lots of 'normal' sounds this weekend, along with plug / muff use, and my ears (left in particular) feel clogged / swollen, with increased T. But I know it's my middle ear muscles contracting / over-reacting, and it...

    @all to gain Yeaaa, I just decided not to go. Feels like I'm letting a lot of people down, painful way to live.

    Should I goto an NBA game with family? I assume they got louder, just like movies, since our society is insane. Hate living like this :-(

    Struggling a lot with self forgiveness lately. Almost 3 years into this heartbreaking hermit life, that nobody around me understands.

    @TheDanishGirl It's crazy how much spikes affect my emotional state. I know it'll go back down, but still get all anxious, especially when I have to face family / society with a spike.

    Anyone else's T & H spike after a little more noise that you're used to, mixed with a drastic change in weather?

    Spike after my first anime convention, but I wore foam plugs, so think I'll be alright. Just beyond tired of the waiting game... :-/

    @InfiniteLoop Well, I dunno if it eliminates most of the fun. I've had plugs for in for most of the loud events in my life, and managed to have a good time. But it was a damn wedding reception just about 3 years ago, that did me in. Totally agree though, being unprotected just isn't worth it.

    @TheDanishGirl Yea, it baffles me, how selective T & H are. My brother-in-law also has these strong ears, can just throw himself into a super loud environment, and come out fine, without even temporary T. Wish I had genes like that!

    Cousin says he'll be at two concerts. I tell him to wear plugs, he calls me an old man. Crazy how little awareness there is about sound.

    I go through waves of acceptance, and turning that acceptance into self loathing again. Nearly 3 years in, and I'm on a loathing wave.
