Hi, I have regular tinnitus—loud and high-pitched—and I’ve come to terms with it. I also experience pulsatile tinnitus occasionally, maybe twice a year, mostly at night when I’m lying down. The first time I had pulsatile tinnitus, I had an infection and was taking Amoxicillin. It was a...

Hi @SugarMagnolia, I haven’t been here for a while, but I’ve been a member since 2012. I’m scheduled for a knee MRI on February 5, 2025, and I have some concerns. I plan to use foam plugs along with earmuffs for protection. The hospital provides these, but I’ve also ordered the Pro Ears MRI Ear...

Hi @Bette1969, In my opinion, foam plugs (32 dB NRR) is more than enough for clapping. How large is the crowd? Thanks, Peter

I got the COVID-19 vaccine 4 days ago. Afterwards, I was only sore in the arm for a day, no effect on tinnitus. Just sharing my experience.

I was in ER when I read this thread, I probably had the same thing, my fleeting tinnitus is always high pitch but this fleeting tone is lower and loud and my ears felt full. Just an update, this thread saved me from going crazy, as of writing this my tinnitus is going down. Thanks @mgbigair and...

@mgbigair I'm freaking out right now, sudden low tone and fullness in right ear!!! It's been an hour.

@Telis I think 1 member posted this, I was hoping it's disco music @ 100 dB exposure. With 20 dB ear plugs it's supposed to be not too bad, but again I agree with you, tinnitus ears could be fragile already.

@Telis Same situation here! 6 days ago attended a xmas party, during dinner it was ok, then dancing started, stayed for 45 minutes and wore my ER-20 Etymotics, I felt safe, next day tinnitus was high and new hiss on left ear. I have had tinnitus since 2012 and had been managing well. Next 2...

For me, spikes caused by car horns are temporary, always goes back down, relax, you’ll be fine.

Same boat here, 7 years of tinnitus and been managing well. 4 days ago I attended our Christmas party and stayed 45 minutes when dance music started, I was wearing my Etymotics and I felt safe but now I have a new hiss in my left ear and the tinnitus is loud. Now I'm just riding it out hoping...

Hi @Karen, @Burnsie and everyone with PT I had high pitched T in both ears since Aug 2012, I've lived with it, 5 days ago Im so sick coughing, fever x 7 days, doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 500 3x/day and for 3 consecutive days was taking Tylenol 500 mg every 4-6 hrs. So, 2 days ago I woke up...

When my T was new, had to go to my Orthodontist for braces, every visit my t would be high afterwards but goes back down the next day or two. Fast forward 4 years later, about 3 months ago I had a crown done, just wore foam plugs and relaxed, Whoa! T was fine after the visit.

I know what you mean about the cicadas in the middle of the brain sound. Im having it right now. All I can say is I HOPE it goes down for both of us.

Hi everyone, I havent been here awhile. I had my gallbladder removed 14 days ago (April 18), I took Tylenol 500 mg and Advil 400 mg for 3x a day 2-3 days after surgery then stopped after 4 days, My T has been okay after that but it has been high since Thursday (April 28) until now with a...
