    Allergy Shots — Has Anyone Tried Them?

    I’ve been on allergy shots for a little over a year. I started suffering from allergies about 8 years ago, horrible symptoms to the point of landing me in the urgent care with asthma-type symptoms. Allergy shots have taken away most of my symptoms, except during very high pollen days, but...

    Keeping Ears Open During Allergy Season

    I’ve been on allergy shots for over a year and they do make a difference for allergies. My sumptoms are very mild now... my Tinnitus appeared in May 2017, my allergies wwwaaayyy before that... so far still dealing with T. But if your t is directly related to congestion and fluid in the ear, then...

    Is This True? Tinnitus Becomes Chronic After 3 Months?

    Christopher, I don’t know your circumstances and I’m certainly so sorry this happened to you! It is utterly heartbreaking that the immature actions of an idiot got you where you’re at. We can’t educate everyone about every potential, life altering situation... friends daring friends to do stupid...

    Reverb, Static, Headpain Following Stapedectomy

    How are you doing now? I’m 3 week’s post stapedectomy. I didn’t have any complications with surgery, but it’s all sorts of changes with the sounds... I had the reverberations for about one week, still have static type noise which feels to be all over my head rather than ringing in one ear...

    Post-Stapedectomy and Balloon Dilation for ETD

    Hi all, I don’t know if I’m a success yet, things are still changing, but here’s my story. My issues started in May, I kept feeling full ears and a very mild ringing which I only noticed at night. By September I was full on, mad ringing, crickets, cicadas, tea kettles, the works. I was first...

    Joined Today, I'm Miserable, Otosclerosis, Doctor Recommended Stapedectomy

    Hi Lee!Anne! I was first diagnosed with conductive hearing loss and Eustachian tube Dysfunction by my first ENT. He first offered hearing aids with a masker for T, but for me, it was not yet the right option, I needed to go to the cause of the problem, this led me to a different doctor, who was...

    Tinnitus for 3 Months and It Sure Has Been a Roller Coaster

    I hear you. I think I'm learning how to deal with the T better. Misophonia has always been a part of my life, but I never knew that it was an actual disorder, I'd bug my husband and kids for making the slightest noise that got into my ear... hehehe, now I know I wasn't being over-dramatic...

    Newbie to These Imaginary Sounds!

    Thanks for your response. I am convinced I need a second opinion. I’m 41 years old, the hearing loss came suddenly only a few months ago. I feel there needs to be more investigation into what caused my HL and if it’s going to continue deteriorating or if there is a way to fix some of it, without...

    Newbie to These Imaginary Sounds!

    He summarized as persistent conductive hearing loss... this is the summary of last visit: “previously said she had immediate benefit subjectively after PET placement, however this benefit was not present within several hours of the PET. Audiogram shows a similar CHL after PET. The tuning forks...

    Newbie to These Imaginary Sounds!

    Hi everyone! As most of us, I’m here thanks to my friend, the funny brain who has decided to tap into his new career of imaginary sound machine creator! Talented bugger! I think it all started in April or May, with a VERY soft sound coming from my ear, I only noticed when in silence ... oh how...
