Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

Hope it calms down soon. What's the inflammation feeling? Is it a feeling of fullness in your ear?

Thankyou, I do too. It's like my head feels full and I can hear my own heartbeat in my left ear. That's how I can tell something is inflamed. I was doing okay for a few weeks and then bam! Back at the loudness. #sad

How about you? Is yours loud?

I know how you feel. The random spikes suck.

My T isn't loud, but I have another hearing condition called dysacusis (sound distortions). You may not be familiar with it, but it's like reactive tinnitus, except the reactivity sounds like it's coming directly from the sound source, and not in the ears. It's so much worse than my T. And it's extremely rare, so even on a website dedicated to hearing problems, there's not many people who can relate to me.
