Maybe if you have custom plugs, you can order weaker filters and incrementally swap them out over time. Or just try going for a short time without earplugs and slowly increasing the amount of time you do that per day over however long you need until you're more comfortable.

@kingsfan to make a driving pun, no need to race to it. One day years ago I had a big spike after driving without earplugs, so I attributed my spike to just that, but I've had similar spikes on days when I was earplugged up. Still my reluctance to drive long without earplugs remained for years...

RunningMan yeah it's certainly a problem. Especially sad after I just watched Hbomberguy's video about vaccines

I use times like these as a compass to look back on when sh*t gets bad. So many times my T has spiked bad for a while, and I would think the worst, and subsequently got through it. With all that experience I'm becoming more resilient during the spikes. I guess that's all I can say for now. I'll...

2022, tinnitus was unpredictable. There were many days I didn't pay it much mind, but it was rare that I could go more than a week without T annoying the hell outta me.. Maybe more than half the days of last year were crap. 2023 I ain't frequently bothered by T. A day or some hours here n...

That day the doc confirmed that there was fluid build up, which is common when you get on the plane too soon after having a cold.

Update- this seems to have resolved itself but it took a few hours. I'm in the urgent care just to make sure my ear drum didn't pop or something, but I the waiting room my hearing seemed to come back to normal so now I'm just paying out of pocket to say hi to a doctor smh but I'm glad im...

I can't say my H is fully resolved. I am shaken by >80db sounds if they come without warning, and don't like to expose myself to near 90db even for a few seconds. I wear earplugs where most people wouldn't, but mostly with low -attenuation filters and not fully inserted. If i were to rely on...

They improved as in I don't hear them at all. Occasionally, some frequencies of my hearing are extra sensitive and this might be considered somewhat of a distortion effect as well, but these are infrequent occurrences that resolve before long, maybe a month.

The rumble is a different sound that I've been able to make since i was young. This is just a quick twitch

There's barely any sound to it at all, I'd say? If there is it's very low, at a very low frequencies. I just kinda feel a thump.

Some times it sticks out quite prominently and intrusively while driving on the highway even without earplugs, but sometimes I barely notice it even in a quiet room.

@Keith Handy It just feels like there's no rhyme or reason to it half the time. Avoid loud sounds. Aside from that, I try to have a diet and lifestyle which isn't TOO unhealthy but I'm not too strict with myself. Several days in a row a few months ago I had a bunch of ice cream and other...

@SamRosemary very true. The fact that it gets quiet at all gives me faith that I have a low baseline to eventually return to, which is why I am able to manage my stress better on days where it's bad. Today is better than yesterday, but who knows what tomorrow will bring. @Joe Cuber LMAO a...

It's hard to fully forego masking it around here, as there is always the slightest bit of noise that will come from the highway or the breeze or noises made by ventilation or computers or whatever. When I put on earmuffs and really hear how bad it is, it's a bit of a shocker LOL but that's not a...

On the blasting my ears bit, i avoid it best i can. Occasionally it's bound to happen hear and there on accident but i try to get myself out of those situations to mitigate the effects. I'm glad to hear that you're pretty much fully habituated Steph1710

Sleep is fine. Now and then tinnitus affects my dreams, but i haven't felt much need to try to mask my T for sleep since it first became chronic 6 years ago. Yesterday i was just having one of those down in the dumps days, but i managed to find some relative peace later in the evening.

Thanks @AnthonyMcDonald . I have no intention of getting Microsuction, no irrigation either. I am asking for manual removal only. I have been applying olive oil drops as well.
