    Struggling with a New Tinnitus Tone After Noise Exposure: Can It Get Better Two Months Later?

    Hello, I do not take it regularly. I only use it during very difficult periods, and I usually take 0.25 to 0.5 mg every three days, one to three hours before sleeping. I have never taken it for more than two weeks.

    Pulsatile Tinnitus with One-Sided Throat Pain When Swallowing — Anyone Experienced This?

    Do you have acid reflux? I know acid reflux gives me pulsatile tinnitus, and it used to give me a sore throat.

    Struggling with a New Tinnitus Tone After Noise Exposure: Can It Get Better Two Months Later?

    Hello, my longest spike lasted for three to four months. I got it after going to a restaurant. During those three months, my tinnitus was extremely loud and constantly changing. I thought it was going to be permanent, but after three months, and after starting Clonazepam, it finally went down...

    Desperate for Help with Severe Reactive Tinnitus and Life Impact

    Hello, my tinnitus is almost the same as yours. In my case, I have found that it is best to expose yourself to sound only when you feel safe or when you are having a better day. Do it slowly and very gradually. Every worsening I experienced—some temporary, some more long-lasting—happened because...

    I'm getting weird headaches/tinnitus flare ups in the early morning. It's like my head is pulsating with sound. Hyperacusis has been flaring up too after a noisy day, although it's getting better by day 3

    Informed Consent: Say NO to an Acoustic Reflex Test

    She was genuinely obnoxious. She even recommended that I read a book about “the Judeo-Christian guilt.” While I was explaining my symptoms, she kept contradicting me or repeating them back incorrectly. When I corrected her, she got upset and said, “You really don’t want to be wrong, do you?”...

    Informed Consent: Say NO to an Acoustic Reflex Test

    Be prepared for the ENT to possibly get angry too. I recently refused all tests during an ENT appointment because the doctor would not tell me what tests she planned to do, and she refused to avoid using loud ones. She basically told me that if I had tinnitus, it was my own fault for refusing to...

    I have autism and some auditory processing difficulties. I also have hyperacusis and tinnitus. Let me clarify that hyperacusis and auditory processing disorder are very different conditions. Auditory processing disorder is not physically uncomfortable or painful, unlike hyperacusis. Anyone who...

    Right-Sided Low-Frequency Tinnitus: Suspected Vascular or Somatic Origin with Vacation-Linked Relief

    Hello @daniel12345, do you have any TMJ disorder? I ask because I have the exact same symptoms, and I’m quite sure mine comes from my jaw. I have a hum in my right ear, sometimes accompanied by the feeling and sound of my own heartbeat. When I clench my jaw a lot, the sound becomes very loud...

    Cyclical Low-Frequency Tinnitus + Hyperacusis After Viral Infections — Anyone Else?

    Exactly the same for me! It can also mimic external noises, and it is sometimes accompanied by pulsatile tinnitus. The louder it gets, the more I experience the pulsatile component. I would say mine is around 500 to 800 Hz, although it is a bit hard to pinpoint, as it feels more like a...

    I also think I'm starting to develop an outer ear infection because of the constant protection. Good thing I'm already under antibiotics but it's stressing me out

    @tobyharrixon fortunately I can. I wore them for almost 48 hours straight though so my ears are getting sore... But today was a quiet day, I did fine with just ear defenders
