Honestly, I used to do that. I just put in earplugs and wore them the whole time. I think I still can do that but a few months ago I had a eustachian tube problem so to be overly careful I put on the ear muffs so that I didnt block ear. Really I dont think it matters and next time I will use...

I just want to give some advice to those travelling on airplane with tinnitus. I was very concerned about this at one point myself. When I fly I really fly. From Asia to Boston. That is about 20 hours in the air within a day usually. The last flight day I had was. 6 flights. Chiang Mai to...

I have T and fly very long flights to Asia from US. 20 hours in the air within a 30 hour span. Worst case scenario. I use foam air plugs the entire time. I have tried air muffs for shorter flights but the foam air plugs are most comfortable. Make sure you insert them correctly. I dont have a...

I've had Tinnitus from acoustic trauma for a couple of years now and I have managed to avoid or protect myself against very loud sounds. Yesterday however I was in a parking lot and a child's balloon popped about 12 feet away from me. Because we were surrounded by concrete walls the sound was...

I was walking through a parking garage and just about to leave when a child's balloon popped about 12-15 feet away from me. I've read that a balloon pop is as loud as a gun shot. Lets say it was 140 decibels. At 12-15 feet away what would the decibels be? Another factor is the concrete walls...

Thank you for replying. I'm not sure what kind yet. Are there certain steroids I should avoid? Besides prednisone which ones are safe? Thank you for answering. I appreciate it. Anthony C, A moment agoEditDeleteReport #4BookmarkQuote

↑ I've had pain in my tail bone for quite a while now and have been avoiding medications and steroid injection for fear of ototoxicity. Anyone here have an injection with T increase side affect? I'm thinking if the injection is far from ear it won't have an affect. Any thoughts? Seems like all...

Hi Cheza I took your advice and posted a thread about finding an oral surgeon in Thailand. I hope your sleep has improved. I only sleep when Im dead tired. My schedule is off and I go to sleep at 6 in the morning. Im self employed so I can do that. When I wake up in the afternoon I have maybe 3...

Hi, I live in the Chiang Mai area of Thailand and I need to get my wisdom teeth out. Im very concerned about how the drilling will affect my Tinnitus. They have told me that my wisdom tooth needs to be cut up to remove. If there is anyone out there that lives in the area that can recommend a...

I thought the same thing and will be seeing another oral surgeon to see what they say. Im in Thailand so there is a language problem as well. Nobody seems to know what Tinnitus is. Ive read that those in the dental industry have a great risk of getting it because they are exposed to the noise...

Thank you for all your input. Its so depressing. I saw the oral surgeon today and he said that it was very likely that I would experience a numb jaw after the procedure. He is almost certain. The wisdom tooth is impacted right on the nerve. So not only do I have to worry about increased T I also...

Hi, I need to get my wisdom teeth removed which are impacted. They need to cut my tooth into four parts to remove it. Im concerned about what the drill noise will have on my Tinnitus. They have given me the option of putting me unconscious (General Anesthesia) or just novacaine (local...

I just want to thank Steve. Your Ball Melody has really saved my life. Something about those sounds works for me. Just know that the time you put into making those audio files was so worth it and you should know that it is appreciated.

Thanks Mark, I need to get some pro earplugs. A

I have a general question about sound. Where I live right now there are a lot of outdoor concerts. The music travels far distances especially the bass. I put in ear plugs but the shock waves of the bass can still be felt. Is this bass shock wave even reaching the ear and is it dangerous? Is the...

Thank you for your post. A lot of hopeful information in there. People including myself have/ had no idea this existed. If they only knew they'd treat their ears better. Thanks for your positive outlook. Anthony

In am an American living in Thailand. I got T recently due to noise. I would like to participate in this trial. I have family in US I can stay with but it is a very big deal for me to travel back to the states to do this. Financially and time wise for work. However if it is going to eliminate or...

I don't know if this has been covered but why not just buy an oxygen tank and breathe pure oxygen without being submerged. Wouldn't there be benefits?

I didn't feel pain. Had a feeling of fullness of the ears yesterday which is one week after treatment. My T also has increased but I have been under a lot of stress as well. Deadline project, moving, no sleep, opening a new business, dying pet. It's all a perfect storm and then I have this three...

Thanks for your advice Matt, Not sure if I got barotrauma or not. I imagine I would be in a lot of pain if I did. Still there is a new element to my T that wasn't there before and I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from going in the last time. Maybe a fourth time would improve it but...

Also, do you recall which members regretted going into the chamber after the 15th time? I'd like to get some info from them if they are willing to discuss it. Thank you for your help Anthony

Thank you Skoupidis, Perhaps you are right about the placebo. I guess Ill never know the answer. I'm leaning towards giving up on it since there have been other people that have regrets about continuing. It's such an awful thing to have to figure out on your own. One day youre fine and the next...

I was chewing candies during the descent and ascent of the dive. I did have slight pain and fullness of the ears which I regulated by chewing and swallowing. It was not so bad that I told them I needed to get out. I know they equalized the pressure when I was at the suggested depth. Not sure if...

Thank you Matt and skoupidis for your replies. Sorry I haven't responded sooner still trying to figure out these forums. The third dive was deeper than the previous two. Not sure the exact. It definitely changed my T for the worse after third dive. There is an additional brassy overtone that was...

Hello, I have noise induced Tinnitus. Stupidly I set off a firecracker and my world changed. i am an American living in Thailand so it's been difficult getting treatment. I finally found a place that does HBOT. There are several in Bangkok. $45 for two hours in personal chamber. After two...
