...the loss of input from the ear and, as a result, their network activity is inherently unstable. One little shove, the siren of a passing ambulance, a leaf blower without ear protection etc. and your car begins to 'fishtail'. Excitation and inhibition are shifting up and down rather abruptly...

...and raise awareness. I think this is going to be big, specially in NYC because there is A LOT of noise even for normal person. NYPD/FDNY/Ambulance using their sirens on FULL ON right next to human crowds. I am sure there are people almost on daily basis getting this condition and guess what -...

...just made me worse. Basically fucked by doctors and horrible advice. The only thing that they say when I am suffering is that I need to call an ambulance and go to a psychiatric hospital to "rest" and be sedated. Then they continue living their life and forget I exist. I'm sick and tired of it.

...through some combination of behavioral change (not exposing yourself to loud sounds to begin with) and cognitive change (recognizing the obsessive thinking when it arises, and not pandering to it to the degree where you're trying to find someone who mentioned ambulance noise two years ago).

...and scared by it, take it from me, this will go. Unfortunately for me my own story is that while my Tinnitus is okay at the moment, an ambulance went past me about 7 days and it decided to turn its siren on.. real loud when it went past me, which has now given me mild hyperacusis, in other...

How did things get so bad?

In theory it is the role of outer hair cells (OHC) to enhance or dampen sounds, and maybe they are not working properly. This is typical with hyperacusis or noise sensitivity. Examples: - For instance, you can be sitting home with a clock ticking on the background and the sound is enhanced in...

...pitched and loud. But, people here insist their tinnitus is loud and therapy helped them. But, when I go out, am I supposed to accept some ambulance with a blaring siren to pass me? Drive without plugs or should I wear plugs and muffs and take the severe pain they will inevitably cause...

...this when you said that you have a feeling to your T? Started 2 days after the low hum terminated last fall. I think it's due to cumulative noise exposure. Last one sounds like the lovechild of an ambulance and a cuckoo, that's just a sound, I think, this is pure tone and the quietest of...

...spite of being a loud rumble. It is draining indeed, but perhaps you could reconsider your constant use of ear plugs. Have your doctors recommended to put them in 24x7? If some loud noise occurs (let's say an ambulance makes its way towards you), you can always plug your ears with your fingers.

...a while to get used to meet my loud T whenever I woke up. I was flying into a huge panic attack every time I woke up and I was calling the ambulance very often. When the ambulance came my telling them that I have T was leaving the unphased, they were measuring my blood pressure, noticing...

...anxious to begin with is because I live in a very noisy neighborhood in a noisy city and loud noises are frequent as well as unpredictable (ambulance sirens, loud car honks, etc.) I’m not sure if I am going about this the right way and I know its easy to just tell others that you can’t let...

...asthmatic or anything. It's like I have to fight somewhat to breath in one smooth motion or breathe exercise. My stomach feels like it's holding in air. I received external oxygen one time in an ambulance and I remember I had an increase of strength. Have anyone tried a personal oxygen...

I'm still fairly new to Tinnitus Talk myself. I signed up because I developed a third tinnitus noise in my so far unaffected ear and it made me feel rather down. Reading that you are affected by five tinnitus noises breaks me heart especially since all of them seem to be so different that...

That’s sucks, but I don’t want to pay for your bills, I have my own. I don’t want to pay for a non-citizen’s healthcare, I have my own bills. I don’t want your tinnitus...I have my own. :-P Breadline Bernie.... Bernie isn’t the richest therefore, he is one of us! Right. What was Bernie’s...

...away at my keyboard is bothersome. The only noise "trauma" I have sustained in the last week was an overly loud radio being turned on. Ambulance sirens outside my apartment bug the shit out of me. My hyperacusis seems to be worse than ever and my tinnitus has definitely increased above...

...by me and I didnt wear earplugs when walking on the residential street. It was loud and I covered my ears quickly. I am not sure if that an ambulance, fire alarm, car alarm, police siren, metro/subway, busy road are normal sounds, to me they are hazardous, perhaps @fishbone can chime in and...

its crazy how it just went up since Jan 17 after all the stuff i mentioned. i assumed to get severe t i have to expose myself to a loud sound like going to a club, these minor sounds are causing damage, like an ambulance passing next to me.

...underlying anxiety and panicky feeling didn't leave me and I had the first panic attack of my life, to the point where I needed to call an ambulance and go to the hospital. The tinnitus first started on my left ear and recently one night I woke up in pain and it started on my right ear as...

I wear muffs and plugs pretty much 24/7 as is. They've begun to wear and tear so I'm going to get some new ones. I had no issue with road noise before, although I haven't driven much since my hyperacusis worsened. Who knows now. I have gotten contradictory advice about driving with protection...

...seems very low though. Read into that what you will. And apparently now the president's press secretary has come down with it. I saw an ambulance going by with the driver in all his protective clothing, yet many normal citizens seem to still be quite blasé (or too uneducated to understand)...

Jason, so did you habituate or is your T actually going away?

Speaking of blasting sirens i was on foot yesterday and a bloody fire truck blasted my left ear with it's 100 db siren, i managed to get my finger into my right ear but was holding something in the other hand so left ear copped it, my ear is ringing even louder than what is my new normal i hope...

Yes, they are Bill, but I don't think they are as frequent as some people in this forum lead others to believe. I do not think the way to address hyperacusis (sensitivity to sound) is to be wearing: foam earplugs, noise reducing plugs, earmuffs at every opportunity as I have seen what this...

...protection. I have these earplugs that can be adjusted and it's great as I can have more protection streetside but less on my girlfriend's side so I can hear her. When an ambulance comes by I just put the shields fully up in a second. So little improvements on some fronts, have to stay positive.

...how much it was but I don't took it seriously and it disapeared spontaneously (it keeps on some strong noises like a baby crying, or an ambulance), or maybe my ear adapt to it, so if this has happened before it will be this time. Thanks for the recomendation of making excercise and...

...some signal.. The problem is that I can not compare it to any sound so I don't really know how to deal with it. It was not louder then an ambulance going buy, but that is way to loud too.. And the sirens have ups and downs, this was stedy lound for a ~10 sec.. I really can't tell how much I...

...there. just got home and i feel like a spike... its louder and the pitch is a little more strong. Just when i was used to almost "no tinnitus"... a few seconds of this could damage more what ive already achieved? on my way home, i also heard an ambulance for a few seconds too :( damn noisy world

...do their work well. Maybe it's worth a try for you...? Try to calm down, I can imagine how it feels like. I remember being hit by an ambulance siren under a bridge, passing by. I had no time to plug my ears because I did not see it coming, in the beginning. It scared the shit out of me, but...

Hey Dude, I really need you to pay attention here. As you mentioned, you do not have BAD tinnitus comparatively. You have very minor tinnitus, it's actually amazing. What you are experiencing is very similar to what I had, I was completely stressed like you for months, paying a lot of attention...

...endure it leaving outside. On the way home, I took out the Kleenex thinking things were over. At a stop light turning left, suddenly an ambulance appears needing to get thru. His siren wasn't on so I did not hear him coming, but he turned it on about 6 Ft. from my car. My ears are...

...inner ear. So there she is all dressed in expensive attire with the handbag and this wire stuck in her ear. The flight crew called for an ambulance to take her to the first ER hospital in New Jersey. She had to sit there for hours with GSW patients and very sick people who of course were...

...Then a few days later I started hearing a weird chimney whistle type of sound. A week later, I woke up to what sounded like sirens from an ambulance or something. That kind of subsided but a couple of weeks later while shopping for couches, and there was Xmas music playing, I heard the weird...

...you don’t go on YouTube, you call the damn fire department. If you have a heart attack, you don’t check your Facebook group, you call an ambulance. If 9 doctors tell you you have cancer and need to treat it or you will die, and 1 doctor says the cancer will disappear, you should always side...

...at the possibility that the solution being jammed in my ear may have some long term effect on my hearing? I had to plug my ears when an ambulance rode by earlier. I have a doctor's appointment in 3 hours and am praying they can remove what is in my ear. Obviously suction is out. Sorry, I'm...

...worse if I accidentally smack my ear. It's scary being in town and some guy blows past you in what sounds like a very loud race car, or an ambulance comes blasting by. I have to plug my ears with my fingers. I'm hoping a 3T machine would give better detail than a 1.5T machine at showing a...

...within a few months of the first. Not counting my deviated septum surgery, I still owe about $9000 in medical bills (half of this is two ambulance visits to hospitalize me for an 8 hour and then a 48 hour rotational vertigo attack, of which 0% is covered by insurance). I have been fully...

...Severe H and Severe T I also developed dark eye floaters ( never had that before in my life), and I got High blood pressure which causes me balance issues. DONT MAKE TROUBLE. also dont overprotect your ears, you can walk outside without earplugs but make sure to cover them up when ambulance...

Buy some industrial ear muffs. Tractor trailers and ambulance sirens are loud even when the windows are closed. Take the 2 weeks time and find comfortable ear plugs. Pretend it's a work shift at a factory. In ears for 1.5 hours, out for 20 minutes break. Repeat. Have two 30-minute breaks...

...was barely noticeable. I haven't seen any improvement since Jan 17 after the caloric test. I also keep exposing myself to hazardous sounds (ambulance siren, motorcycles, car muffler, fire alarm), which are not really helping in the healing process. My hearing is also fluctuating on the left...

...in my room. Motorcycles drove past me when i was walking on a residential street without earplugs. Lady who cut my hair used a hair dryer. Ambulance passed me when i was driving. I didnt attend any loud venues at all nor did i listen to music on earbuds after that accident. I hear less in my...

My T is very reactive. It goes up when there is a ambulance passing by, hand dryers in restroom, hair dryer, etc etc. Its very hard to cope with, but the fact that I have bad Hyperacusis on both ears limits me. It hurts me when I talk and when other people talk.

...sounded like it was somewhere between 80 - 90 dB and you're not allowed to wear ear protection inside, just pyjamas. And today, yes that ambulance door slamming. No matter what I do or how much I try to protect my ears these things just keep happening to me... like what th is going on? What...

...up with a muffled ear and tinnitus. I quit the band after that.. toughest thing ever to do as I loved playing in a band. A year later an ambulance siren blasted righ next to me and I caught sound sensitivity. Like u, no tinnitus now but slight sound sensitivity. It’s been a tough 2 years...

...prophetic dreams. I have returned to life by walking threw The Tunnel and I have been following light, so much that I have walked into an Ambulance, which took me on the second stage of my recovery. And from that day I do percieve Tinnitus. I will finish this in time, becouse there is...

People should listen to you after they've been exposed to a loud noise and are freaking out, and to me before it happends.

...I had almost like positional vertigo has gone. I will always be very aware of loud noise and I won't be taking risks. If a police car or ambulance screams by I cover my ears. The thing is, it can and does get better, it's not a few months but many many months or years. It does get...

I use them but I still feel the loud noises. They are silicon custom ear plugs but when I wore them on for a long time my ear canal itches and stay in pain. So I do not use them all the time I'm out... I don't know if this is normal. I feel that they create an uncomfortable pressure on my...
