Hi oceanofsound26, Thank you for taking the time and reading my post. Sad indeed and scary. I am hoping my post will reach others to help them understand what it is like if they're just experiencing this or have already. I have researched Labyrinthectomy as this is what I will be having in a...

...especially with a bad cold, TMJ, TTTS, high blood pressure or blood circulation problem, loud noise exposure or acoustic trauma/shock, head trauma & injury, neck injury or muscle problems, hearing loss, Meniere's Decease, barotrauma from sudden change of air pressure such as during landing &...

I think this is me too

Just a follow up question. Did you have an acoustic trauma or took any ototoxic medications shortly before these tests? Or has it been like this for a while?

Melatonin for sleeping? Also, keep in mind: As my ENT says "Prognosen är god". One month after my latest noise trauma I could not do anything. I could not use the water faucet unless I had double protection, I could not be in by home since if my neighbour opened her warddrobe or something I...

Do you know if there is funding for travel?

@Major Tinnitus There are many thing that can cause tinnitus such as billie48 pointed listed. The problems could be head trauma, but I would consider x-rays of neck and spine. Muscle spasm form anyplace can cause your problems. Numbness in hands, wrists and arms are often related to your spine...

Wow. This is apparently super rare. From a brief literature search, the only treatment I was able to find discussed was treating ETD which is apparently an underlying cause. Or if it was post trauma (e.g. tonsillectomy), possible repeat surgery. Is there a specialist for this condition you...

Interesting. My H started/escalated not long after I had hit my head really hard in a shelf. I don't think I had a concussion but it was a hard blow.

I have the reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis. My tinnitus has started due to the head and neck trauma. It's so reactive to the point that even the softest pink noise spikes my tinnitus. I have tried to listen to the pink noise for my hyperacusis. But after 30 minutes of pink noise, I feel...

...therapy can really help. Sometimes conditions below can happen without temporal bone fracture. Fracture can be replaced with hitting head trauma. The petrous portion of the temporal bone is pyramidal in shape and wedged in at the base of the skull between the sphenoid and occipital bones...

...you have a history of noise exposure, loud music, concerts, loud cars? Any medications recently that may have caused it? Any history of head trauma? Any genetic hearing loss in your family? There are rare cases where removing ear wax through irrigation can go wrong and damage hearing...

...period where it’s just awful. I have no idea how I’ll ever get used to this. It’s maddening. I see that yours is potentially related to head trauma. Have you assesses whether or not you could have neck issues that may be impacting your tinnitus as a result of the trauma? Neck and jaw issues...

...spike from the motorcycle ride. Lots of folks are wearing earplugs when riding as the motorcycles are loud, and helmets protect you from head trauma, but little in the way of hearing protection. Be sure to consistently protect from further noise exposure, deal with the TMJ issues, and these...

...TRT can help in some case for some situations... "BUT hyperacusis is a symptom from a disease (like tinnitus)...it could be from noise injury, SCDC, fistulas, autism, head trauma, TMJD, etc etc...it's a non sense to believe sound therapy can cure fistulas...it's like believing in Santa Claus"

Yes it will go down, when I got my second acoustic trauma while doing that ovemp test. My T went from a 2 to a 10, literally I had a huge engine sound in my head and I felt like my head will burst open. That reduced from 10 to a 7/8 where I am currently, so give it time. You also have a second...

That's exactly me .... Just.some slight hearing loss at 4k MHz and I don't believe my T its from hearing loss ....hope you are doing better ...

...from low b12 symptoms, also get your thyroid levels checked too, low b12 and low or too high thyroid can cause Tinnitus, if you've have a head trauma you should also go to a NUCCA chiropractor to see if you have any upper cervical problems, as Tinnitus can also be caused by problems in the neck.

Nevermind: I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore. My T has really spiked today. All I know is that I was rear-ended by another driver, and right after impact, I started hearing this static in my head. I'm confident that it is related to my head or neck. Other than that -- I don't know what...

I had it mild since a child. Got bad I believe through noise exposure at work over the years. Sudden worsening in late thirties. But I do also have tmj and some facial nerve pain at times which could contribute to it.

Not all doctors know how to diagnose or treat these conditions. It is easy to say "everything is OK" especially if patients cannot prove their symptoms (some holes are not visible on CT, nystagmus is present only with vertigo, not with subjective dizziness, not with derealisation or a loss of...

It just kinda happened along with developing tinnitus. I noticed a bit of pain here and there at the beginning, but didn’t really understand what it was. It was only after reading other people’s posts on here, that I realised it was a thing on its own. So yeah, any sharp or loud sounds give me...

Sure, according to the experts, when a metal shower head falls in the bathtub, the level of noise is so extreme that your eardrums can blow out immediately, and all the people in the whole neighbourhood risk an acoustic trauma. This is actually the second most common accident leading to hearing...

Hey @Brooklyn NY Thank you for your thoughts. My ear does feel a bit better although my tinnitus is through the roof and freaking me out. I had a noise trauma recently (loud bell) which has messed up my tinnitus and hypercausis and my head is just so full of screeching. I’m trying my best...

This was indeed almost a good report... I am much worse now. I wrote it 5 days after the door slam incident I noted in the post - I got so angry and frustrated that I slammed a door. It was an interior and lightweight door, but loud enough. There was no impact on my tinnitus or hyperacusis, but...

Thank you for your response. I'm beginning to think there is some legitimacy to sound therapy post acoustic incident. Several people have seem to have success, and the Susan Shore device is also using sound. In the very beginning I HAD to use a box fan next to my head as it was so terribly loud...

I'm going to try to make this my last thread here, after this I'll be out of questions and just have to play the waiting game. That being said, I'm grateful for this community always being here when I feel hopeless and alone. :thankyousign: So, I have two main questions: From multiple success...

tinnitus and especially hyperacusis with pain seem to develop almost exclusively in hearing loss, tinnitus has some exceptions but not hyperacusis with pain outside of head trauma.

When I developed tinnitus and hyperacusis 24 years ago I experienced many symptoms in addition to ringing and oversensitivity to sound - hyperacusis. The burning in the ears you have mentioned and on top of my head. The whole of my head felt completely numb as a result of my noise trauma for 6...

...is listed in many professional articles. A bend forward neck from improper posture lifting, bending, dental procedure, accident with head trauma, muscle spasms and being under stress are all reasons for getting somatic tinnitus. Next on the somatic list is the jaw and problems in the mouth...

Glad you saw the ENT immediately. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss can happen with forward motion or jerking head whiplash. With this, most of the time hearing will come back. It's hard to say that the wax removal kit use didn't have input as set up problem or just caused your problem. With...

I met the researcher (Dr. Maison) earlier this year, a few months after my acoustic trauma. Based on what I understood, he was saying that the nerve damage can happen alone in response to loud sound, as if the nerve connections themselves cannot withstand the force of high sounds levels. That's...

...at night and my T was loud. However when I woke up this morning T is down and back to original level again. Even though my T is due to head Trauma, loud noise does cause temporary spikes so I avoid bars, clubs.. except few times a year. I took 2 NAC pills this morning and will take them...

Hey, my tinnitus also started the night after a bad cold, but I already had some slight hyperacusis after a head trauma from a car accident, so unfortunately I don't know exactly which was the culprit (I lean more towards whiplash). I also took Budesonide because of my cold but it did not make...

u must of had another reason - meds, stress, noise exposure, ear syringing, barotrauma,whiplash, head trauma, tmj, reading about T, chemical exposure, mercury fillings, high blood pressure, alcoholism, excessive masturbation, panic/gad disorder, thyroid dysfunction, kidney problems, AIDS...

...There are stone deaf people with ZERO T, and people with little loss with bad T. It depends on the circumstances of how the T started - stress, meds, noise, head trauma, etc. My T is so loud I can hear it clearly 24/7 It is so horrible that you might get a panick attack if I describe it to you.

Hear hear! (pun intended) I find this sad as well, since my T started during a long headphone listening session with my new audiophile grade headphones and 'head-fi'er' hobby. I can't be 100% sure if that triggered my T, because I also got a blocked + full ear at the same moment, which is not a...

I agree with @Autumnly Although the ear and auditory system are delicate they are also quite resilient and have the ability to recover from quite severe noise trauma. When I first got severe tinnitus with hyperacusis 23 years ago, due to listening to music through headphones at too high a...

I used to get this every time, but now it only happens sometimes in the mornings if I've been lying on the side opposite where the main tone is occurring. It only started after a severe noise trauma back in June, so although the main tone is still there, it's more faint, and the related tones...

When I asked my ENT for a prognosis for my T (due to acoustic trauma), he said that the outcome of a concussion is impossible to forecast. He went on to explain that both conditions have to do with brain neurons, so recovery from T is also difficult to forecast. The reason I am bringing this...

Thank you for your reply. The doctor said 'malignant' and I asked her what what meant exactly and she just replied 'cancer' and that was kind of the end of the appointment. :(

Welcome to the forum. Your tinnitus spike may be due to suffering some degree of acoustic trauma from those loud noise exposures. It may be helped by having a short course of Prednisone as it is only a short time ago this happened. Perhaps consult your doctor or to see if you need that. Take...

@GhostyTMRS -- This sounds like potentially really good news. If you could get access to an HBOT chamber, I think that could be really good. There's not much else than can help heal brain and nerve trauma better than that. Except perhaps DMSO, which is used in conventional medicine to quickly...

...get tinnitus in so many different ways right? From side effects of medications they have to take, including chemotherapy drugs. From head trauma. From MRI’s. From hearing tests. From being in the wrong place at the wrong time- one user had their tinnitus get way worse from a car alarm, mine...

Hi, I'm new and wondering how it's going with the T. Have you gone back for a repeat of the acupuncture? My T might be due to head trauma, I'm not sure. First stop for me will be ENT but first available appointment is May 1 :-( . After ENT, next stop will be acupuncture. Curious, if you still...

Hi Blane, Any exposure to loud sounds? Have you had any trauma recently to the head, face, or neck? TMJ? Have you been on an airplane recently? Any recent dental work? Have you been sick recently? If you go to the ENT, he/she will check your ears for wax build-up and you can also ask them...

Hello @Gman! My Tinnitus started immediately after I was rear-ended from behind. I was completely stopped and there was an SUV in front of me...a 16 year old driving a commercial box truck hit me at 45 mph and sandwiched me into the SUV in front of me, which was also stopped. My SUV was...

Most likely it will fade in time, but it may take many months.
