I suggest you search here on TT. There are already several members giving their reports that they got worse after the exams, and even they did not have tinnitus and were left with tinnitus after the exams.

And people, including people who have mild tinnitus, and even doctors and audiologists have to understand that there are varying degrees of tinnitus, as well as pain. And that is why the classification of the severity of tinnitus is: mild, moderate, severe, very severe and catastrophic.

I think it's unacceptable and strange to say that the person always has a mental problem, and that mental problem is always before tinnitus. They never think that anyone who has intrusive tinnitus cannot be without a mental problem, because it is impossible for a person not to be affected...

There are several tests that all of them request and which are contraindicated for people who have tinnitus and / or hyperacusis. They either don't know or don't care. And it happens all over the world.

There are many places that are in very hot summer and have cases of coronavirus increasing.

I had an MRI 6 years ago and as a result I have tinnitus and hyperacusis. I don't have anything before taking this exam, which was very, very loud. One of the antibiotics you cited ė admittedly ototoxic.

Talking about another exam that is much requested by ENT, I found this: http://www.noiseandhealth.org/article.asp?issn=1463-1741;year=2014;volume=16;issue=73;spage=422;epage=426;aulast=Fernandes https://www.interacoustics.com/guides/test/tympanometry-tests/reflex-measurements The two talk...

Petej, Why did you say wearing plugs is difficult? Hearing protectors should only be worn when you know you will have a noise that can damage your ear. It's also not good for us to use them a lot, because we hear the sound of tinnitus lot more and decrease the audibility threshold.

Petej, As you said, the characteristics of your tinnitus are acoustic trauma with hearing loss.

What I find absurd and inadmissible is the fact that people are always asking the same questions, for years, and the scientific community and professionals involved in the treatment and research of tinnitus, hyperacusis and other related problems have no answer for anything yet. People who have...

Pete, Do not feel alone, we are with you. Only those who go through this can really understand what it is about.

Everything you're saying is true. Many people have passed or gone through this. What can not be done is to ignore that this exists, what is worse when it is done by professionals of the area, that is an incredible and inadmissible thing. You are not alone!

Pete, I understand you. I've had tinnitus and hyperacusis since 2013 due to acoustic trauma. I know very well how it is. Do you think you had acoustic trauma or are you sure? The behavior of tinnitus has everything to do with its cause. You have been tinnitus for a short time, and as we see...

PeteJ, you should not use the hearing protector for too long because it lowers the audibility threshold, and may make the situation worse. A good protector is those blues for swimming, 3M. You should only use them when you think a noise will harm you. It is best to avoid these noises and not...

The big problem is the tinnitus volume, those who have a mild tinnitus are very different from those who have severe tinnitus, which is much more difficult to deal with.
