Sometimes I can't help but think about it. But most of the time when it's just noise i've learned to tune it out and ignore. It spikes sometimes and there are good and bad days. The worst days are when the Tinnitus isn't just noise but it's actually accompanied by some kind of physical...

For once something good seems to have happened. I went to the Dr anyway and they irrigated my ears, said left one was pretty clogged looking. And most if not all the hearing has come back. My anxiety has been on overload for days. I am happy I wasn't suddenly losing even more of my hearing...

Until 2 days ago I was used to my tinnitus. Things have been good aside from the ear aches on my left side (around ear and jaw) the intermittent patulous e.tube on that side. My hearing felt good, mostly even between the two. Then Friday night I noticed things sounded slightly muffled on my...

I started shining my light on my left TMJ out of cruiosity a week or two ago after I had a really bad bout of PET when doing cardio. (It was horrible. I had to stop exercising it was so bad. Every breath was being redirected instantly into my left middle ear). Since then I have had some...

So since I started using the new light a week ago or so. Been getting this strange pain in my ear Mostly with louder sounds here and there.. Which I thought was odd. No H that I know of. Haven't been around terribly loud sounds, so nothing to induce anything. Then just now, when I went to use...

I don't have anything to measure with. But just eyeballing close to a wall. Retracted Fully extended

Necro, but i've got a -3 to 5 db slope starting just under 150Hz or so in my right ear compared to the left. No balance issues or anything like MD. Came on the same time as the rest of my loss.

I'd take this as a win personally. I'd be super happy to have my near perfect hearing back. Assymetrical hearing loss, even only 5dB at multiple frequencies to trained ears like mine, has felt like it has destroyed what i've worked nearly half my life towards.

As for full panoramic x-rays, basically any kind of check for TMJD

Yes they are both 5W. But this actually uses a 3.7V battery compared to the 1.5v battery. And it's easy to see in the last picture that the beam is much stronger and more visible compared to the weak 1.5V light. So obviously, it more than likely has much power than the smaller one due to the...

I took Ginkgo (The EGB 761 stuff) for what felt like almost half a year. Can safely say. No difference for me.

So I bought this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EX46D72/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And here are some comparison pictures. I'll be using this from now on. Lens extended: Exaggerated exposure to show: Only has one LED vs the 3 in smaller Cree one I bought. But...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EX46D72/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1RCT2BX6IIL5P&psc=1. Comes with 3.7v battery and charger

I am doing 3x15 min in my right ear a week. (I have that other IR-850 that isn't the Ilauke. Was using a 1.2V NiMH rechargable. Now using a 1.5v Alkaline.) I have had a few spikes 2 days after using the light two separate times.. Not sure if related. But they have been bigger spikes than...

I never had the sinus issue with the air going into my ear until I got T. Everything was pretty much 100% normal before. And what's funny about that too, is that my left ear is the least problematic when it comes to T and hearing loss. All my issues are in my right ear mainly...even though my...

Give it time. Can't get in until the 9th? You've got it easy. And you'll be fine. Try waiting 9 months just to see a useless ENT and get back to me about how waiting a week or two is so bad.

Totally useless. Not only that, they couldn't even fathom as to where my Sinus issues come from. (I fucking woke up literally the same morning and I couldn't breath at all out of my nose.) All the stuff with my jaw and the fact that when I blow my nose a lot of times, the air gets forced...

Probably has always been very common. It's just not socially out there. Just imagine if Donald Trump spent 1 billion of that proposed 54 Billion for more money towards tools of death and war (And auditory damage) , on research towards hearing loss, H and Tinnitus for veterans.

I noticed an increase in floaters and some visual noise (which I think might be the same particles that make up floaters in my eyes. Just smaller, broken up or how I see them when i can see through the floaters). I had noticed discomfort in my eyes, long before I got T however. I also noticed...

I'm 25, steepest dip is like 15dB 15 or 16khz. My audiologist could test up to 20Khz, and on my chart it sits at 0dB (meaning no loss). It's strange, I have been meaning to get a follow up AG. When I went to the ENT, they didn't seem too interested in giving me another one...

Lack of sleep, and lack of time are your enemy. Quitting your job I think was a bad idea too. If I didn't have my job, I think I would be so much worse off.

I have a co worker who got T from an Ear Infection some decade+ ago. She doesn't seem to worry about things too much in relation to her ears as far as i've talked to her.

Ilauke is OOS now. Found this too, says 1 watt optical power https://www.amazon.com/Evolva-Future-Technology-Flashlight-Torch/dp/B00TFCJNTS/ref=pd_ybh_a_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=94G0STRPXM7S1AQNQ325 Is that a lot or?

I'm not directly looking at the light. I'm tilting it just barely enough to glance at it from off angle to the side. I try to get the lens hood and push the tragus out of the way, and then tilt the light inward and upward. (Trying to aim for my Cochlear area). I've also tried it without that...

Driver mismatch can cause slightly different frequency response per ear FWIW. Which can also cause this. Not very many sets of cans are near 100% driver matched. If you want a more reliable way (Knowing that the application is 100% faultless) to test specific frequencies and even do sweeps...

Over the last year, I've noticed several times when my T in my right ear will really be going off in a specific way (little different than normal), I get this very light tingling sensation at the top of my skull or back behind my ear or something. Anyone ever experience something similar?

For a while I would get this high pitched clicking type sound (Sharp transient) when walking around. It was weird. My jaw makes all kinds of sounds when eating or moving it though. (TMJ stuff)

To my eye, I can't see the light emitted aside from the LEDs lighting up a deeper red color that Infared stuff usually has. As for the pictures, I think I did mention or if I didn't, those were edited in Photoshop to make the light as visible as possible too. Also: I used the light again...

Interesting. Turns out i've been using a 1.2V battery in my light. And it's listed differently from the Iluake as only accepting up to 1.5V and not 4.2V like the IK. I had no idea about Lithium batteries either. That's neat. I'll buy one of those and the Iluake too. Couldn't hurt to get more...

I take Pseudoephedrine on a regular basis for my Sinus issues that started with my T. Doesn't do anything for me. What did you take exactly? Some have painkillers in them as well.

More pictures of the light. ^With the lens hood extended Normal

It's very strange. That much is for sure. The fleeting T doesnt' bother me much. Doesn't seem to affect anything other than that one specific time. There are times when my ears feel borderline normal. Like today mostly. Doesn't feel like I have to pop my ears constantly. Ear doesn't hurt quite...

Came in today. Took a few pictures. My phone camera, picks up the LEDS as a pink/purple-ish light. No white balancing or saturation shifting can get them close to how my eye's perceive the light. As what most IR sensor lights look like. A deep red'ish. I held the flashlight against my palm for...

When I go to bed the noise is there. But i've gotten pretty darn used to sleeping in silence with T. When I sleep or am in a near sleep state, I feel as though my T doesn't exist. I wake up many mornings and don't hear anything. Then it fades back in, or I notice it. I might listen for a while...

Sounds like normal Fleeting T. But with a bit more aural fullness. I've had a lot more frequent Fleeting T in both ears since all this started. Never both, just one. I've had quite a few times with a large amount of aural fullness that can be scary too. Never had the aural fullness part before I...

Yeah, T that's just noise feels like a piece of cake when you have other symptoms that make things physically painful or uncomfortable.

Sounds like a certain frequency or band of broadband noise is triggering something. Certain sounds can trigger mine too. Like loud hissing fans, or an ATV engine when wearing earplugs. My father, who doesn't have 24/7 T, gets T triggered by Pure tone sounds in audiometry, which lasts for a...

For my entire life basically, my dad has had some measure of significant hearing loss from occupational noise exposure and recreational(Ironically music and headphones too loud as a lad). Always had to repeat stuff, made sure to speak extra loud to get his attention. But to my knowledge, he...

So I bought that flashlight on Amazon. Can't hurt to try for 15 minutes (per ear?) two times a week. It's funny, I didn't realize we had one. But at work in the Skin Care section, we sell LED devices for Acne hah. One is a full on mask. And the other is a flashlight like device I think. On the...

I had something similar happen in the first few weeks when I took Azithromycin. Right side of my face, muscles all tensed up randomly, was fairly painful.

I've got this weird thing, which doesn't sound like anything anyone else has described. I've had it happen periodically throughout my life, I assumed it was normal. Sometimes after yawning, or in place of a yawn, get this vibrating sensation that moves up from the bottom of my throat to my...

Next time I go, i'll measure it. I'd imagine the beach being between 60-70dbA Slow maybe. C scale, 5-10dB more. those apps aren't terribly accurate and it doesn'[t help if it's not telling you what scale it's measuring in either. Most car cabins are pretty mellow in the mid to high frequency...

At least hand out plugs damn it! I feel like I might have to reiterate the impulse noise thing. The day mine started, after I got home from work. My 11lb Shih Tzu made one really loud bark about 4-5 feet away from my ears. Which surprised me. I've measured her bark as loud as 100dbC a few feet...

But then that would make people weary and cause potential controversy! Which would lead to bad press and less money! They don't give a rats ass about people. Same with sports, like the NFL. They care about attendance. They want people to go to their games so they can make $$$ from advertising...

All I want is improvement in the high frequencies >6khz. Guess that throws out it would easier to treat HF since that part is closer. I wonder what would happen if they just injected into the outer part that is responsible for HF.

Recruitment and the other stuff like some frequencies sounding louder can probably fade with time. I know when I first had mine, sharp transient silibant sounds were very painful. Sometimes still are, especially very very loud ones. But it has gotten better, and like you. Music and Audio...

When I went to the audiologist, I could supposedly hear 20khz at 0dB fine. I can't hear above 17khz on any of my sound equipment. Also according to audiogram, around 15dB loss at 16khz. (The biggest loss I have. Most is 10 or under) I vaguely remember being able to hear up to 19khz or so...

What i'm concerned with, not necessarily is my T, I can deal with that 99% of the time. It's my hearing, I don't have a lot of hearing loss. less than 10dB at most frequencies above 6kz, and somehow according to the Audiologist, I can still hear 20khz fine. But there is slight asymmetry that...

Sadly not the first and won't be the last. The world needs to wake up and acknowledge the risk people put their ears at. Especially the music industry and their endless loudness war of making music more compressed and as loud as physically possible.

I don't fear much in life. But I refuse to take pain killers like this. Unless i'm in life crushing pain, i'd rather just deal with it. I value my ears more.

If you truly care about your ears, you won't give a fuck to carry around a good dB meter in your car or in a bag. Who cares how you look.

About 2-3 foot away. This was my 11lb Shih tzu tonight, https://goo.gl/photos/E9RsXzDGZrAqMGqK8 I found a way to trigger her barking on command, she has these sort of woven bone hide chews. If I take one and rub it with my hands as if I am chewing on it, she instantly goes on the offensive...

Definitely. Just a matter of luck. I know someone who has severe hearing loss and she doesn't have it. But did have it once and it went away after a few months. A few months ago, at work she had sudden hearing loss in one ear. And I urged her to go to ER/UC and get Prednisone. She said her...

Sometimes when I clench my teeth it modulates some of my T sounds. Same when I open my mouth wide. I do have some TMJ symptoms. The best I can do is get x-rays to confirm it at my next dentist visit. I can't afford any treatment. I have an overbite, and several crooked teeth from sucking my...

Haha, yikes. Well at least it's related to my ears. For a while I thought it might be symptoms of MD. (never had dizziness or vertigo.)

Because of Bone Conduction, there's not much you can do about low frequency sounds. What I was trying to say is that, when not driving. My T would be stable, and somewhat ok. But a lot of times, if I would drive my car without using an earplug in my right ear. My T would get worse, and my right...

Odd. Sudden change in blood pressure or something then?

So last night something strange happened. After ejaculating from you know, the usual business. I felt like I had to pee really really bad. Slightly more than normal. Problem is I couldn't get it to come out. I stood there for a while trying to relax enough to piss (While still having a bit of...

In the first 4 months, just driving my car at all would cause my T to activate and spike. If I didn't wear an earplug in my right ear when driving to and fro, i'd pay for it later. There were several times where I would be driving, fine and then I could feel my ear swell up inside or something...

I have to conciously tell myself not to pop my ears. Even though sometimes it feels like I need to. (I control these muscles in my throat that I can use to pop my ears). It's not a necessity anymore compared when the pressure differences were very substantial and I had to keep popping them to...
