@K.A., apologies for just getting to this. As it turned out the situation didn't go that far! Hope you are well, and thanks for responding! Mystery Reader

Hey, folks! A friend of mine (who does not have tinnitus or hyperacusis, but who knows that I do) asked a question that I didn't know how to answer. They asked if it was safe to use earplugs when using audio or gaming headphones. I didn't know how to answer, so I thought I'd ask if...

Hey, folks! Hope you are all doing well! I had my regular ENT follow up last week. Usually, when it’s time for the audiogram, I’m in the booth with the audiologist on the other side, doing the test. This time, it was just me and this little computer type of thing. The screen said “Air Test”...

Has anyone used a product called PatulEND? I sometimes get plugged up. There’s no situational predictability to this; it can happen if I’m having a conversation of longer than a few minutes; other times, there’s no problem. Sometimes it just seems to happen for no particular reason. I’ve found...

Hey, folks! We all know at this point that the internet is loaded with lists of ototoxic drugs. The lists of ototoxic drugs, while useful, can feel overwhelming to go through. I like to try to be as prepared as possible when visiting any MD, because the subject of tinnitus and sound...

@New Guy Always check your thread when I sign in! Thanks, as always for the updates! Mystery Reader

Hello, Folks! So, it’s possible that I might need surgery for kidney stone removal. (Of course! During a pandemic!) I have a 6 mm stone that has been stable for quite some time, and so opted to let it alone. Over the past few days, I have had two instances of lower back pain on the side...

@Bartoli Thanks very much for your response to my question! Mystery Reader

Hi, folks. I washed my custom moulded earplugs and forgot to take the filters out before doing so. Would doing this ruin the filters? Thanks! Mystery Reader
