Hello everyone. I was doing volunteer work at the Espresso House and the barista next to me used her coffee knocker (i.e. this portafilter) to knock loudly on the bar when she was making coffee for someone. You can see an example in the 2 videos, they are from a famous YouTuber who works in...

My doctor told me, that overprotection isn't a good thing. He also added, that sometimes, a little bit loud voices would be "healthy".

Yes it did, but it took me over 3 month to recover from this shock. I strongly warn everyone here with Hyperacusis to avoid these tests. They're not really revealing and if the audiometry doens't show something special, there's absolutely no need of performing a Tympanometry test. The only...

It stars with 40 db, but it goes up to 90 - 110 db. Extremely inappropiarte noise levels, especially for people suffering from T or H. (And even for normal people, it is too loud). Usually many doctors perform some kinda "Tympanometry in disguise" on you. They call it "Impendance Test", but what...

Thanks for reassuring me, Daniel Lion. Yeah, I feel a little better today. Yesterday was terrible. My ear felt like it came from an rock concert, although it was just a small pizzeria at the corner. Yeah, Adventure Time is a great show to watch as a kid and as an adult. It really helped me...

It's still a common mistake, that the tests, performed by the ENT nurses won't hurt you. The most popular in this community board is the Tympanometry test. They perform it on you, without saying anything special ("Just relax. Small children are doing this everyday"). Then they put some...

Yesterday was my birthday and although I had lot of work today, my boyfriend (*) persuaded me to take an evenig off and go to a small restaurant. It was a very small pizzeria with round about 15 - 20 people sitting there, every one talking to each other. Right after I entered the room, I...

Thank you for making me hope. Unfortunately, I found out, that since this day, when I close my right ear, I cannot hear my own voice anymore. Usually I can hear my voice clearly, when I close my ears. But now I don't feel any vibrations in my ear, neither my own voice. Disconcertingly only my...

Thank you for your replies, MSF, Juan, Candy and Bill, It's not really a spike, it's more like everything feels dull and I can't hear on my right ear anymore. Somehow only the right ear seems affected, I don't know why. When I hold my right ear closed, I even hear my own voice quieter than...

He was definitely using loudspeakers. Loud whistling can be very painful for ears, if someone does it normaly. But with loudspeakers it was 10000 times louder. The whole audience was wincing for a moment. I'm asking myself why an university Professor uses such methods like loud-whistling for...

Usually I avoid going to university lectures, because the microphone is always too loud for me and causes pain in my ear. But today was the last lecture before the final exam and the Professor announced that he would go through important stuff for the exam today and that today's lecture wouldn't...

Thank you for your replies, Contrast and Bill Bauer. The spike isn't what worries me the most. It is, that I can't "feel" my right ear anymore. Whem I'm yawning or shawolling, I just feel it on my left ear anymore. Also, if I hear loud or squeaky noises, only my left ear tries to registrate it...

Greetings everyone, On Thursday 16 May 2019, at 1 PM I was waiting in front of my lecture hall, where suddenly, a garbage man was emptying out a trash bin. I was in a conversation, with another student, so I didn't see it coming. The trash bin was like a big drawer. You can see it in the...

The text could be literally written by me. Just replace VEMP with acoustic reflex test and tympanomentry and change the date to 22/11/2018. Once you have hearing loss, you start to appreciate the things, you didn't before. Having full hearing was never a topic to me, because it was a...

If they would give you time to research and inform yourself. The ENT nurse urged me to do this. I saw the decive and literally went out of the room. I don't know why I ran out, because she was still talking to me. Maybe it was kind of survival instenct. Then she called me back over the floor...

Maybe that's it what caused the hearing loss. In my case, it also felt like my eardrum would explode from the inside. Due to fact, that they did Acoustic Reflex Test and Tympanometry 2 in 1, at the same time, I can't really tell, what caused my hearing loss. It's so weird, I never ever ever...

Marcy is afraid :( It's 53 day nows. But at least you said: so it gets "mildly" better, but at least a little bit better. That's a beginning at least. In my case, it's as bad as it was on 11/22/2018 and no improvement since that day. It's ironic, because I never had problems with hearing loss...

They did the air pressure thing and loud noises to me. I thought It was only tympanometry, but since I read that, the loud noises aren't part of the tympanometry, I assume, they did typmanometry + acoustic reflex test together. 43 Days and the nightmare continues...

Air pressure changing = Typmanometry Beeps and Noises = Acoustic Reflex Test Like the user iGloCK said before, most ENT combine these two test together and only call it "Tympanometry" and do both in one. Ocassionally, they perform a Acoustic Reflex Test on me, without telling it.

Kann es sein, dass wir alle drei (chaLLas, Bill Bauer und ich) bei dersselben Ärztin waren? ;) Did you have tympanometry alone or tympanometry together with acoustic reflex test? The last weeks I thought the thing I had was called tympanometry, but since some people wrote, that their...

"Prove that it was the doctors fault!" they will say. The doctors always have the better lawyers. They will say something like "Stress caused your T" or whatever. They would never blame theirself. As long as we stay quiet and do nothing, doctors will perform this tests over and over again. I...

We should do a big campaign for preventing T- and H-suffers from ENT-tests. For ourselves, we can do nothing anymore. Our damage is already done! But we can save other people from the suffering, we have. There are so many users here, complaining they have spikes in their T after the tests and...

Yes, it is. It changes the pressure of your ear and measures the reflex of your ear drum. I assume that this caused my hearing loss, because since the moment I've done this test, I don't "feel" my ear drum on the right anymore, whem I'm smallowing, yarning or hear loud noises. It's like the ear...

Nurse: "We are going to perform a tympanometry test. It just measures the hearing in the middle ear. Little children are doing this and it won't hurt" Me to the ENT afterwards: "I here everything dumb now after Tympanometry test" ENT: "Oh, you shouldn't do Tympanometry test, when you have H" Me...

Tympanometry. Permanent damage!

Yeah, I'm struggeling with panic attacts and uncomfortable feelings, which makes it even worse. Always have to think about it. I can't focus on studying or something else. It feels like having imaginary plugs in the ear all the time. The thing is, that I'm afraid to visit the doctor again, so...

No! She saw me went out the door and she told me, that it would cause no harm and a quiet tone. I trusted her. Today it's 4 weeks. I'm question myself why I ever allowed this to myself. Thinking the test had made things permanetly worse :(

Thanks again for your help, Juan. ok, so they did it do test the stapedial reflex? Honestly, I don't want they've done to me. It's 27 Days now, I still got the feeling of pressure in the ear and listen everything dumb in my right ear. When something's loud, it doesn't bother me anymore on the...

Thanks for your reply, Juan. I don't get a point: What do you mean, they perform it without at the beep and use beeping tones instead? Isn't it the same? In my case, there was a beeping tone, that grows in volume. It was ca 10 seconds in my ear, until I screamed and couldn't stand it anymore...

She's acutally a nice doctor. Everyone loves her because she's super-friendly with everyone and takes care of the individual needs of the patients. She's not the one to blame. The nurse urged me to do this, lying about, not doing the test would falsify the result, and that little children would...

It started with generating the artifical pressure on the ear. Felt like the ear would puff up. This was circa 10 seconds. Very unpleasant, but didn't really hurt. But felt kinda weird. Then the ringing noise started, it came louder and louder. After 10 seconds I was screaming and the nurse put...

Thanks for your help, Bill Bauer. So, do you think it will recover, right? I never ever had anything in my ear, because it hurts me too much. As I said, I can't even stand headphones. The nurse didn't told me what Typmanometry is and I was shocked, as I heard the loud ringing sounds with 115 dz...

Hi Contrast, thanks for your reply. The audio-test was ok. I was in a soundproof chamber and very quiet tones came to my ear via headphone. Nothing unpleasant. The thing that worries me, is the Tympanometry-test I did after this and which was completetely unnecessary. I also talked to the...

Hi, I'm Marceline. 22 years old, from Germany. I suffer from hyperacusis all my life. Everything I hear is to loud from me. From my childhood on, I'm always super-carefully about protecting my ears. Never went to cinema, never to football games or to discothek, because I can't stand it. I'm...
