I do still have the swallow/yawn crackle, and I'm pretty sure now it's the Eustachian Tube that is causing these problems. It's likely due to a negative pressure on my left side. I started using the Otovent balloon about two weeks ago, three times a day. It gives temporary relief but not...

Please stay hopeful @Olly132, I've definitely read of a lot of people taking a long time to heal after ear surgery. This is a mental battle more than anything. I think you've been in great hands with Professor Bance. Thanks for keeping us updated. I'm going in for surgery next Wednesday, only...

How are you feeling now, after the packing has been removed? I don’t have hyperacusis, in that loud sounds don’t really hurt but I feel a loud crackle/itch/woosh and thumping in response to a lot of sounds. And that gets irritated after a while, and does start to feel bruised. I also experience...

That’s wonderful news! I really hope your symptoms get even less and less and that you’ll experience a full recovery. You seem like another part of a long list of successful patients that have had the surgery by Professor Bance. I have a surgery date with him on December 13th. I had the tensor...

My symtoms were a loud crackle/thumping/itch/woosh feeling after sound, mostly after louder sounds with higher frequencies. All in my left ear only. This has gotten progressively worse, so it even responds to me speaking on a somewhat above average volume level. This is definitely the most...

Hey @Olly132, I have a call with Professor Bance next week! I just underwent surgery for only the tensor tympani. Doctors are quite conservative here in The Netherlands. I think it helped with some of my symptoms, but certainly not all of them. I still have a lot of crackling and thumping in...

Hi msintros, was wondering how you are doing? I seem to have the same symptoms as you, looks like a classic case of TTTS. I'm currently in therapy for it, to calm down my chronically hyperstimulated nervous system. But sectioning one of the muscles in my middle ear (the Tensor Tympani) has now...

Hi everyone, Thank you for all this precious information. It's such a relief to find people with similar symptoms, that have gone through different surgeries and tried different things. Same here, ENTs usually don't know much when it comes to the more unusual cases and don't have the time or...

Hi @chelledoggo and @PennyCat, You are the first two people I've come across on forums that are describing the exact symptoms I have. I've had 'regular' tinnitus since around 2017. In my left ear only, due to a concert I was playing (drummer). My left earplug fell out, but I decided to keep...

Nice LD avatar btw!

Hi John, I would like to ask you some questions regarding the botox treatment you've had done for your MEM. I have Tensor Tympani Syndrome, it's along the same lines I think. Looking for someone to help me. I live in Holland and I haven't found anyone yet that does a botox treatment. Apparently...

Hi Gustav, I saw you posting a message to 'Mojo', looking for help with your TTS. I might have the same problems, and I'm looking for someone that can inject botox to calm the muscles down and get rid of the symtoms. I'm from Holland, maybe we can help eachother in our search for a solution...

Hi @Mojo, Same as the other guys. Looking for someone in Europe to help with my TTS, I think the botox injections could absolutely help. I actually was operated in my middle ear (doctor thought it was something else) and because the muscles were swollen up, the symptoms were gone. That lasted...
