  • My ENT specialist doesn't know what hyperacusis, noxacusis, tonic tensor tympanii syndrome are. I'm shocked.She said I don't have nerve pain
    GG_Ear
    Yeah I'm not surprised... they are very rare.

    @_Shoto_ Do you have jaw or neck issues?
    I was laying down and suddenly my T has increased in volume by 90%. It NEVER happened to me, but...I hope it's temporary. It's been 10 mins
    Mom forgot for a sec I have hyperacusis and threw away the spoon and it was sooo loud. I am expecting worsening in my T/H in the next 24hrs
    I genuinely going insane in this apartment. And I'm staying in here for at least 50 days...I can't take it anymore. Crying every day
    Neighbors upstairs got a new dishwasher and it so loud I can't sleep due to vibrations coming thru the ceiling. My room is very far away...

    My neighbours washer leaked into my apartment now I have the maintenance guy coming a bunch to put the dehumidifier and do repairs. I hate living in an apartment. When it was leaking I went up to tell her to shut it off and she lied to my face and said she wasn't doing laundry. The water was soapy and smelled like detergent.

    After investigation I came to the conclusion that the vibration comes from their refrigerator and not dishwasher. Looks like they got a new fridge or it's the old one that got broken. One of the 2. Anyway I hope they will do something about it

    @kingsfan are the dishwashers 100 years old ? lol. my dish washer is not even 55 db.
    Took ibuprofen for cluster headache and woke up without ear pain and hyperacusis. The best 4 hours of my life. Too bad it's ototoxic...ugh
    Suddenly my ears hurt. Like just hurt. I feel like my cochlea is inflamed. And it's going to be weekly like this forever...nice :)
    I love fleeting tinnitus. Happens once in a blue moon but it feels so great to not hear ringing for 2-5 seconds. It's so euphoric
    They just changed my apartment unit...I do hope it's still 2nd floor and the windows are facing southwest but... knowing my luck. Hahahahah
    Just got email from my new apartment complex that they changed my building and apt# without my consent. They didn't even specify which floor

    Refuse to leave and if the police come show them the contract proving you reside in that apartment.
    Called 7 neurologists and no one works with nerve pain related to noxacusis or ear spasms (TTTs). I just want 10 capsules of gabapentin...

    You can't approach it like that. Just go in talking about where your pain is and what it is. I was "diagnosed" with trigeminal neuralgia and even said I think it's from my ears but the neurologist said that is impossible (eye roll) but still gave me a med to try.
    Counting days until I'm moving to a new apartment. I hope it's in the next 2-4 weeks. My ears are so tired of this non-stop dog barking :(
    I will travel to any state and city to get Auricle device I'm so serious rn. I hope it's not SF but Michigan cuz that state is cheaper lol
    cjbhab
    i can't wait.
    crescentsky
    we'll find something that works in about 10 years lol
    Calapsodis
    @crescentsky They've been saying "ten years" for over like twenty years now lol. We seem to be in a good spot right now with research though. Let's hope something pulls through this time. Lucky ass mice. Just give me my shot of ear healing gel already.
    Not me suffering 9/10 tinnitus while there are 10+ potentially helpful devices that are collecting dust in some boxes rn in laboratory...
    Another day another karaoke at my neighbors balcony. Another day another 3 dogs at my other neighbors balcony. I can't wait to move out soon
    I was able to find the only apartment building without a balcony. I paid deposit and application fee. However, I can't relax until I get key
    Listening to my neighbor's dog barking 3 hours non stop (it saw a cat) and dreaming about my new apartment without balconies. I can't wait!!
    I wonder what ppl with catastrophic T do when their sleep meds stop work so now they can't sleep at all...Do they sleep once every 2 nights?
    RunningMan
    It varies. Some people seem to be able to sleep anyway. Some sleep meds help. Best to avoid benzos and Mirtazapine because they stop working leaving you even worse off due to tolerance and dependency.

    My brain just sort of blacks out. I don't "fall asleep" really. It's like a trauma response. It's also the best part of my day and my entire life.
    My T spike is still here and 2mg of clonazepam did nothing at all. I still can't sleep. The ringing is just too loud. Crazy. CRAZY times
    streifzug
    hope the spike goes away!
    _Shoto_
    Hi @streifzug ! Thanks. I think I feel better now. Probably it finally calmed down to my almost usual level. I can hear my T everywhere expect the shower, so I think I'm back to my normal again lol
    Tinnitus is 10/10 instead of my normal 7/10. Be careful with ADHD meds guys. Everything was always alright but today 10 mg of dex spiked T..
    4Grace
    We are in the same place. I can not longer take any meds. Stay strong,
    My family doctor said I should find a neurologist by myself. I swear PCP doctors are so useless. They can't do anything at all
    crescentsky
    They're absolutely useless in my exp for health issues.
    ADHD meds comedown is harsh on tinnitus. Very harsh. Before T I never even had a comedown side effects at the end of the day. Ugh...
    My new apartment has a bedroom that doesn't have any neighbors from all sides. So happy. And this complex doesn't have balconies! So good

    Hi @ECP, the dogs. Many people are allowing their dogs bark there overnight. They bark at pedestrians, leaves, and cats. My current neighbor is letting their dogs bark on the balcony from 5am to 7am. 4 days a week. I can't live like this :( No balconies/patios means no dogs at night and early morning! Can't believe I was able to find the ONLY apartment complex without balconies. In a city of 400K...ugh
    ECP
    Your landlord shouldn't be letting the dogs bark so much, but it's a moot point now that you've planned your escape. Congratulations on the new place!
    RunningMan
    Dogs don't care about what neighbors or landlords think. And their owners don't seem to care. They bark all the time.
    Today I saw my future apartment. It's bad. But it's cheap, the walls are thick, and the HVAC units are not under my window. 5/10
    2 weeks ago I recovered from 100 db fire alarm. Yesterday I was exposed to 120 db bass in a parking lot. The problems can't leave me alone
    R
    Glad it got to baseline. Did you go to the dentist yet?
    _Shoto_
    Nope. I'm too scared. I know I'll get a spike. Probably permanent. So now I'm just getting ready to move to another apartment and finding a neurologist to get meds for TTS
    R
    I'm gonna go soon. If u go spread out your appointment do like one to two fillings
    Can't sleep now because of this awful day. Everything was so good but I decided to go to the grocery store... I'm such a fool. I can't...
    snizzleberry
    Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault for wanting to do normal stuff still. Hope you feel better.
    I know bass is less harmful to the inner ear due to thick hair cells but I'm still panicking. Fuck me. Why did I go outside in Texas. Why...
    Probably tomorrow my T and H are going to spike. Just like with smoke alarm 2 weeks ago. Why did I go to grocery store...this is my fault...
    I hate the fact that you can't block bass even with double protection. Even with foam earplugs and professional earmuffs. 120 db bass is 120
