Hi @ShaunR, Glad some of your other stuff went away. I have been rather crappy myself. I went to see a hearing and dizziness specialist and they tested my hearing from the highest range of hearing possible. The audiologist said my hearing is fantastic for my age but I a dip at 13,000 Hz at 40...

@ShaunR how are you doing so far? Is your tinnitus loud or pretty mild these days? Is it high pitched noise like mine? Hang in there.

@Vassili how are you doing bud? I've suddenly hit a relapse here and it seems I'm back to square one. I'm usually pretty good for a few weeks and then my brain tells my ears to do some funky stuff and I am back to crazy ear fullness and loud hissing/whistling noises in my ears. It has...

Hi @twa, hope you had a great Christmas too. I am doing OK, thanks for asking. I'm still dealing with the ear fullness but I feel that my middle ear muscles are causing all my problems. They are being over reactive and it seems the tighter the tension I feel, the more consistent the tinnitus...

@twa yes that's right. It gets a bit louder when my middle ear muscles tighten more and it becomes uncomfortable. Mostly it's mild though.

@twa yes it was the first time! I'm sure it was there but I really couldn't hear it. That was so relieving and it makes me think that my tinnitus is from my middle ear issues. Once the pressure was relieved, all the symptoms seemed to vanish. Except for the sound sensitivity. It only lasted a...

@Vassili Did you get the ear fullness with the pain hyperacusis pretty consistently? My TTTS is in constant spasm but I don't get fluttering sensations in my ear, just a thump and pressure. It lasts for weeks, then subsides a bit. Did you protect your ears when doing dishes and other...

@Vassili How bad was your hyperacusis? I feel that mine was driven by anxiety and not actual damage since acoustic shock is more of a psychogenic injury. I feel my middle ear fills with pressure and slight ache and then I hear sound distortions like robotic voices from people. Yesterday and...

@Vassili thanks for the reply. Do you still get ear fullness? If so, do you do anything to relieve it? Thanks.

Hi all, I've been on Tinnitus Talk for around 4 months and I have been unofficially diagnosed with ASD by Myriam Westcott via email, as I told her my symptoms and what happened during the acoustic event. She is extremely knowledgeable in the field and I'm glad I was able to reach out to her. I...

Hello @Greg Sacramento. I know this is an old post but I suffered from an acoustic shock about 4 months ago. Ive reached out to Myriam Westcott via email and she pretty much confirmed my diagnoses. What types of treatments did you go through and about how long would you say it took you to...

@twa We did have a good Thanksgiving. Hope you did as well. For close to a month I just let myself go without ear plugs for mostly everything and told myself these noises will not hurt my ears. Tinnitus was still there but not bad and sound sensitivity improved drastically. I got news that my...

Hi @twa. It's a feeling of pressure and ear fullness. It's the ears' natural way to protect itself against loud noises. However mine is constantly reacting since I have hyperacusis as well so the brain perceives the sound as harmful since it seems that it is louder when in fact regular...

@Christine2222 I'm sure the keto diet would be pretty effective for this. It will definitely reduce inflammation.

@TheOriginalJoeM Thanks for the reply. I am seeing an ENT tonight, actually Dr. Garrity in Elk Grove. He did my tonsillectomy surgery many years ago and is a trusted doctor. However I have been to multiple ENTs so far and they diagnosed me with probable TMJ. Now I get this and I probably have...
