my least favorite part, but i alwas just tell myself itll go away like it always does

I would of said the same thing not long ago @Utdmad89

A lot of people move on with their life, I only came back to give personal advice and be helpful.

Where healing would come from an overall diminishing of T over long periods of time. And healing is non linear. I went from All bad days, to 2-3 bad days a month

I'll give you an example. When I'm around certain sounds/environments for a long period of time, my T could be a 9/10 and drop to a 2/10. Specifically when i play video games with my speakers about a foot away from my ears (like a headset) My t will 99.9% diminish no matter how bad it is.

I would say mild, but it's all subjective to how you feel about it. If your T was unmaskable no matter what and then dropped to those levels, you might consider you T a non issue.

@Marina Moon exactly, fluttering is a middle ear (bones) hitting your ear drum in response of stimuli such as noises and other things, could be internal as well like yawning/coughing

thats all that noise is, just mucus around the membranes making a noise when opening and closing. If there is too much mucus like when you are sick or have chronic inflammation, that's when it becomes an issues bc you cant equalize properly. the noise when you E tubes are opening and closing is...

I promise you that your ears have always crackled, you just never paid attention to it until you had ear issues. Your brain is just hyper focused on your ears bc the T and H. Everyone I've asked IRL has the same thing, and I asked everyone bc I'm a hypochondriac. It's a normal part of swallowing...

This is gonna sound like I'm gas lighting you, and I used to think what and how you are thinking about it. I thought the crackling was a bad thing that I never had before... but just like your nose always being in your vision 24/7, or being able to feel your tongue in your mouth at all times...

What do you mean by popping? Like your middle ear bones are thumping your ear drum? Or the popping crunchy noise when you swallow? kind of like a crackle

The whole next day until I wake up again

Every single time lol and sometimes it doesn't disappear until the next day lol

Yes, and yes

Is your partner not supportive? Or making your situation harder to deal with?

It's made many people worse. Plus if you have TTTS then your muslces are definitley working.

If you can, avoid the Acoustic reflex test if you have bad T and or noise sensitivity. It plays tones in your ears up to 80dbs.

A lot more people with chronic T have variable T that just doesn't bother them to think about it in way. @gameover

Huge uptick in T with Dentist @kingsfan They sell earplugs for dentists for hearing loss. Hopefully they realize that if they are getting hearing damage so are patients.

Yes, I had a measured 45db dip at 8K, that reduced to a 25db dip over the span of a year. Haven't had a hearing test in a year, and I never had a baseline hearing test before the incident.

Luckily we are in the most medically advanced, and researched time period for T so hopefully in our lifetime! CBT is one of the biggest reasons research got pushed, not knocking it bc habituation is real, but there are severe cases that are past the point of help.

There's a ton of reasons. A couple are that a lot of people get to the point where it doesn't bother them, and very few cases are bad enough to be debilitating, and life halting, which doesn't lead to the cure agenda getting pushed.

Brain zaps are a feeling not T, in to which I believe MiaVIL is referring to. Brain Zaps are due to the malfunction of neurotransmitters as they try equalizing into homeostasis after ceasing AD's. I've had them before for months after quitting Zoloft way before I developed Tinnitus. @Tryn2BHopeful

does it sound like a high pitch electrical spark? @MiaVIL

Pretty much @ZFire

mine got worse before it got better 6-8 months

I personally know multiple people with T who's theirs went away. And mine has improved. Take that as you will. Once I accepted I had T though, and stopped wishing for silence, the easier it became to deal with.

TTTS is where your middle ear thumps your ear drum. @MiaVIL

2 years since an urgent care Dr. (That I wasn't even supposed to see) said I had an ear infection and prescribed the most ototoxic ear drops and prednisolone that gave me debilitating tinnitus. And the fact that I kept taking them for a couple of days bc I thought it was the ear infection...

Yes. Make sure you keep your ears clean from infection and keep your protection clean as well.

I used to be very adamant of having pelters in every room bc of those things lol I’m more lax now but I do have a pair in important rooms

I also stopped everything loud in my life, stopped headphones, made sure to be as quiet as possible and wore musician earplugs outside my house and at work for almost 2 years straight.

Mine got worse and worse over the course of 8 months and then finally started reducing over the next year and half, albeit in a non linear progression.

Was me for the first year... It Will get better. I can fall asleep with blaring T now. When my T is quiet it actually freaks me out more lol like i need the noise.

Literally the rest of the day.. most the time @RunningMan

2 years* @HearingHell my bad I was typing too fast haha

I’ve been there brotha I’m proof that there’s another side. There’s a lot of people who’ve made it. There’s people when I first joined on the brink of SS who are in a way better place now

@gameover ver literally everyone was trying to put me on them, but i stuck to my guns. @HearingHell they slowly went away over a 2 cource, they also got worse before the got better. The worst one was one i had in the shower, a pure shrieking noise over the water coming out of my shower head.

Reactive H isn't really a thing imo. Took my reactive T and H about a year and a half of resting before I saw Signiant change. At 8 months is when I first notice subtle change. I also was carful with my ear and wore filtered ear plugs outside the house.

Reactive T = It gets louder to other sounds and/or rides over other sounds instead of being able to be masked. H = When things sound too loud. It's a physical sensation like it almost hurts, but doesn't actually cause pain, unless you have NOX which causes stabbing/burning pain.

I play a bunch of games but mainly warzone. I think it gets quit from Residual inhibition. What about you?

They tried so hard to shove AD's down my throat when I went to in patients but I refused bc of the gamble it has on T. I'm sorry, it like every choice you take to get help for this issues could be the worst one. I used musician earplugs everyone for the first year and half which i think helped...

They definitely exist @gameover

It took me 2 years to mostly not care even when i have the random few and far between severe day. When it's bad bad it's just background noise, there is no emotion behind it. It's just there, and i never thought i would come to "habituation" i always scoffed at the bullshit people were spewing...

I attempted suicide twice, and was in three different in-patient hospitals, hoping praying for a cure, and now I'm the latter. A cure would be cool especially if things get worse 5-10 years from now, but at the moment it's whatever.

I'd say that it's pretty normal. Somethings you get woken up in the middle of sleep cycles so the noise isn't compeltly shut off. Sometimes it'll fade, and sometimes it'll last the rest of the day. But try not to worry about it unless it a 100% spike that last more than a day. Even then it will...

My ears used to beep and sound like it was sparking electricity.

I can make it feel like its in my ears and head all by how I focus on it

I think a combination of resting your ears and reintroducing after you feel comfortable and ready @RunningMan idk though this whole shit is a nightmare and confusing. I get on hear to not get ahead of myself find stay humbled so I don't go back to squar one.

@RunningMan but what's funny is that my HA/TTTS didn't get better until I stopped wearing those earplugs everywhere unless it was actually loud. I grinded about 2 months of wondering if I was doing the right or wrong thing bc I thought I was having set backs bc of sound sensitivity, but I kept...

@RunningMan I got hit hard with severe tinnitus within the first week, and a month later HA/TTTS. I wore musician earplugs outside the house with 27dbs filters for almost 2 years.

@RunningMan I'm extremely grateful I have days like that, especial from how this started, I never though I'd get to this point. I lived like a hermit for almost 2 years reading almost this whole website deciding how I should treat this and came up with my best plan of action. Gave up the last of...

Also music used to be a distorted hell, but that doesn't happen anymore. @HearingHell

My fridge has a weird noise that could be considered a distortion but my wife hears it too, which makes me think they are normal to some degree, but we didn't care unitl we got bad tinnitus.
