Hello everyone, I know this is a very old topic, and I'm not sure what the rules are for reviving threads, but I felt like this was the best place to post. I want to give an update. I don't want to leave this topic behind as a source of negative energy. Reading posts about people going through...

Today is an especially bad day. Yikes, my entire ear is tingling and pulsating. I feel like pulling a Van Gogh.

It appeared a few weeks before my 25th birthday.

So, I've been reading about Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS) and it matches a lot of my symptoms. The spasms in the ear, the numbness of ear and part of cheek, sharp pain inside ear, burning sensation inside ear, headaches, feeling of blocked ear, T exacerbated by loud sounds... This is...

I get this quite a lot. Usually when my Tinnitus and Hyperacusis spikes. I can feel my heart beat inside my ear and my eardrum move. My ears become really sensitive and sounds make my eardrum 'flinch'. When it gets really bad even lightly touching my temples or ear will cause a spasm.

I think it's different for everyone but my T is most definitely stress and anxiety related. When I reached an absolute low point in my life is when the T first popped up. Which sent me into a deeper depression which in turn increased the T and caused headaches and earaches. When I finally...

I also have it. Mainly right ear. Comes and goes. ENT said I had no ETD. I'm looking into Tensor Tympani Syndrome. I have a lot of the symptons. Hmm...

I was doing better for a while and felt I was on my way to habituation but last week the ear pain and headaches came back. I haven't been doing anything different, haven't been eating anything different, haven't been around noise, nothing. It's as unpredictable as ever. My right ear is in a...

I had a hearing test at an ENT and at an audiologist. The one at the audiologist was more extensive and tested for higher frequencies (up to 10kHz).

Went to my GP again for the weird feeling in my ear. Like I expected... nothing can be done. Everything looks normal. But it feels something is stuck inside my ear and someone is constantly pulling my ear. It's not super bad or anything, it's just highly annoying. I wish my T would settle down...

I've only tried Ginkgo Biloba and like I expected it did not help. I took it for several months before I decided it wasn't doing anything. I know how you feel about more medication. When I got my T I became extremely suspicious of all medications and even stopped taking my multi vitamin. This...

I don't have any answers but I also experience an increase in my T after blowing my nose (which causes my ears to pop). My ears crackle a lot, and sometimes randomly pop. On my first visit to an ENT I was prescribed a steroid nose spray, which I used for a month and a half. It did not alleviate...

Hello everyone. I have not been able to check these forums lately due to some unforeseen circumstances. My mother is facing legal problems and we had some other bad news in the family. I appreciate all your replies. I want to let you know that things are better, but also a bit worse. My...

I have not had an MRI scan. Doctors said it wasn't necessary because I don't have any hearing loss. I want one though.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I took a double doze of Mirtazapine last night and managed to fall asleep. When I woke up this morning the volume of my T was louder than usual (but not as loud as last night). The ear pain and headache was gone. In the afternoon the pressure and pain inside my...
