    Shit, I hope you find very quickly a place somewhere with nice people where you can rest and relax! Why is the world so chaotic and cold in such situations when you need exactly the opposite?

    No ENT could find the cause of it, maybe it‘s an odd behavior due my inner ear hearing loss, which does trigger some weird behavior. How is your condition?

    yes, it seem so, but this is more a conductive problem, something with pressure, if I clear it up, more decibel is coming in, but it doesn‘t last long and the ENT can‘t see and measure anything… But if I equalize the pressure, I hear it 2-3 times crakling… So there is something in the middle ear…

    Sometimes, pressure in the ear is a little better, but it doesn't last long. If pressure is less, the T is more present. And I guess, left I have bigger hearing loss... all in all, it's a big mess and I never feel good since this event happend. Absolutely weird.

    Second Acoustic Trauma: Seeking Advice on Ear Fullness/Pressure

    Update: Overnight, after nearly four months of ear fullness, my condition improved by about 80%! I didn't do anything specific. The evening before, the ear fullness was at its maximum level. I hope it stays this way or continues to improve. Very strange.

    Hi Matt, How are you doing with your ear fullness and pressure? I’m still dealing with it—sometimes it’s worse, sometimes a little better, but it’s always there. I just remembered my setback from February 2014 yesterday, and at that time, I had similar symptoms. It also came to mind that...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Let’s hope it is MOG1 for SNHL. I don’t fully understand what MOG1 is for. Is it related to a genetic inner ear issue, or is it for an acquired form of hearing loss, such as noise-induced or sudden hearing loss?

    Update on Week 14 after my trauma: Tinnitus: It has somewhat receded into the background, making it difficult to tell if it has truly gotten quieter. At least it no longer feels as piercing as it did in the beginning. Pressure in the ear: Unfortunately, this is still present. It feels as...

    Second Acoustic Trauma: Seeking Advice on Ear Fullness/Pressure

    I’m not exactly sure what it is, but I believe something is still wrong with the way my inner ear processes audio. About 10 years ago, I experienced similar problems, and it took almost a year and a half for things to improve or for my hearing to return to a more dynamic state.

    Eardrum Pressure Whenever I Burp

    Would an ENT be able to see if the eardrum is pulled inward, or is it only slightly retracted but enough to affect hearing? I also had my ear's vibration measured by the ENT, and it was normal. I'll try using an infrared warming light over the next few days. Maybe it can help calm down this...

    Pre-Existing Hearing Loss/Tinnitus: Are the Ears More Delicate and Susceptible to Further Damage?

    Yes, indeed, I was very shocked, and I’m certain I plugged them in correctly. Otherwise, I would never have attended the event. I can only guess what happened. Perhaps the bass was transmitted through bone conduction, causing issues with my hyperacusis-traumatized inner ear. It’s really not...

    Pre-Existing Hearing Loss/Tinnitus: Are the Ears More Delicate and Susceptible to Further Damage?

    Hi, I can only say that if you already have hearing damage, it's better to avoid concerts or loud events altogether, even with the best ear protection. I learned this the hard way in July. I’ve had ear-damaging incidents 20 and 10 years ago. First, I experienced sudden hearing loss, mainly...
