My new health insurance doesn't start until next month, but it will be about the same cost as the inhaler anyway.

@kingsfan What inhaler do you take? If it’s the same as mine, I’ll bloody post you one!

https://www.interacoustics.com/guides/test/tympanometry-tests/reflex-measurements If this is correct, only the starting point is at 70dBHL, but may go up to 105 dBHL to obtain acoustic reflex threshold. Funny how it says that tinnitus and hyperacusis are contraindications. I found the test loud. And on my results paper, my lowest threshold is at 90dB, they went (needed to) up.

I got tested when I only had my on/off low hum, got other possible causes, but a week later my bilateral T started. It may have started earlier, but I could have been preoccupied with the low hum. I had never had high ringing before. Also, nothing of diagnostic value was shared with me about the ART. I wish I had never done it.

@Kriszti We are in the same boat then. My tinnitus was bad, but not too bad before the test. Wish I had never went. The test was all for nothing as well. I didn't know the results will show the decibel level. I may try and call for a copy of the results, though I'm not sure I could control my anger with them.

@aura my ears have been taking turns clogging up too. Maybe it is the weather or allergies or something. I also need to try replacing all of my down bedding with synthetic.

I don't know, man...i've been doing just fine all my life and suddenly i'm allergic to bed sheets...maybe it's the age. After you turn 40 you become allergic to life.

@aura starting the counter at 953 days then >_<

Don’t they cause it? Maybe brain inflammation causing your T

Probably when he’s not in pain his tinnitus feels less intrusive..?

I dont know, but it's been nice despite other things not being so nice.

Silent party?

@Wrfortiscue Chilled cow is my new silence. Chilled cow and fan. Chilled cow, fan, and crickets is my new silence.

Less than the AR test but still quite a bit of clicking.
I personally had no issues with it, maybe a tiny spike.
Avoid AR like the plagues of egypt.

I refused the acoustic reflex, but I don't know why I went ahead with the acoustic emissions test. T has been spiked all day ever since. Didn't really seem loud at the time, but wasn't exactly soft.

Take it easy handsome. X

Take it easy @kingsfan. Hope you'll come back with your typically funny and on the mark posts;)

I left comment on the wrong post whoops ----- As soon as I say I'm taking time off here, boooom, I get a spike. I think maybe I'm a little too attached to you guys.

Maybe your Eustachian tube has opened up?

I haven’t been able to pop one of my ears for a year or so now. It’s so irritating. The left one pops fine. And you’re right, it feels great when it does.

As soon as I say I'm taking time off here, boooom, I get a spike. I think maybe I'm a little too attached to you guys.

I say the same thing. I can't sleep unless I go to bed completely destroyed at 7 AM. Don't know what I will do when I finish school and have to get up early.

@martinberryhorse You'll do what I do and sleep 3 or 4 hours a night and drink loads of coffee while at work.

How is it now

@Christiaan Hey thanks, I'll give it read and hopefully I can understand it.

@Wrfortiscue Same old shit.

I definitely recommend a cardiod mic. I have an AT2020 which is pretty solid. I do get some bleed but its pretty easy to just filter out. but the "narrower" the mic the better.

@Foamearplugssuck I'll check it out, thanks! I've been worried about how I could hear the mix while recording without bleed.

It might be your Eustachian Tube playing up? Maybe if the air pressure in your ear is not perfect, the eardrum suddenly becomes a wobbly drum.

@Gareth Davies I'm not sure bc I have no problem popping my ears. I'm wondering if it has something to do with TTTS

@Steph1710 I have been eating protein bars...

I don't know what's making it worse. I had it before I started the prednisone. Was it there before the Venice Beach incident? I can't remember, maybe, but not as loud. Could it be the Nortriptyline I started the night before Venice Beach? Hell if I know....
