    Help Me with My Ear Mystery: Woke Up to Raging Tinnitus, Hyperacusis and Hearing Loss

    I’ve been through the whole gamut of doctors, ENTs, CAT scans, etc. No one gives a damn. Finally, I purchased some very expensive hearing aids with Bluetooth. They “erased” the tinnitus in a way because I listen to music or YouTube or whatever to distract myself from the obnoxious tinnitus...

    Help Me with My Ear Mystery: Woke Up to Raging Tinnitus, Hyperacusis and Hearing Loss

    I had the exact same scenario happen to me. Went to bed. Woke up at 3 am with raging tinnitus. Right side worse. Freaked me out so bad I didn’t work for year and half. That was 6 years ago. Noone knows why. Noone cares. I still have it. It’s more pulsatile tinnitus really. It has a pattern to...

    What Do Doctors Need to Understand About Tinnitus?

    Stop dismissing Tinnitus as if it’s irrelevant. Maybe the insurance companies are controlling the outcome for each of us.

    Pulsatile Tinnitus with Ear Pain, Ear Fullness and Weird Sensations: So Scared!

    Shower Causing a Temporary Tinnitus Spike?

    I don’t need a cold shower. Certain foods spike my t, pressure on my face does also. I’m 66 so I think it’s blood flow. Drinking lots of water helps me. My t has a personality all its own. I understand its moods. But your suggestion is a good one.

    Shower Causing a Temporary Tinnitus Spike?

    My tinnitus/pulsatile tinnitus always spikes after a shower for about 10 minutes. My theory is the hot water makes blood flow faster, making the sound louder. I have had this condition for five years. I believe it’s coming from my neck. I have pulsatile tinnitus at night laying down in bed or...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Goes Away When I Press on My Neck

    I have T and PT. When I press my neck, when the clicking sound is happening, as opposed to PT sound, it increases the sound as I press. My PT is always loudest when I sit too long, lay down in bed or after getting out of a hot shower. Stretching my back while sitting causes PT temporarily to be...
