Yes indeed I should've specified on alive subjects lol.

Middle ear only. The tools to test inner ear function are very limited.

Yes you are right it would. A tympanogram can confirm if there are really pressure problems. Have you had a recent audiological evaluation?

Then it doesn't work fine?

For hearing loss.

No. It may cause middle ear barotrauma if you have ET dysfunction already. If you have no issues equilibrating air pressure there is not going to be any problems.

You dropped a piece of plastic on the floor from what 2 feet high? It couldn't possible have been more than 70 db. As many others have pointed our, tinnitus is likely not the main problem here.

Is the noise wasn't a problem then you wouldn't have these ''reactions'' in the first place don't you think?

The aminoglycoside are notorious oxotoxic agents. Macrolides less so

Their compound tries to stop damage in the inner ear as it is still occuring weeks after the incident. This helps hearing function recover and lessens the symptons. AM-101 is not thought to have any effect at the CNS level, thus chronic tinnitus, which is thought to occur at this level, is...

The original post still stands. A cure is most definitely not around the corner.

The infection is far more likely to have caused the increase than the medication to cure it.

Yeah well there isn't much you can do. You can take steroids IMMEDIATELY after a hearing incident and it seems to be a hit or miss. Then there is AM-101 which is still in the clinical trial stage. You can be proactive all you want but those are realistically your only medical options.

Get an audiological evaluation.

No. Only if your tinnitus has increased as a result of aminoglycoside antibiotic ototoxicity. The use of this is extremely narrow.

Not going to be useful for many of us unfortunately.

An audiogram, otoacoustic emissions and auditory brain stem responses tests will give you the answers that you seek.

You had earplugs in. What more could you possible have done? Don't sweat it.

It'd be nice to know if tinnitus originates in the CNS or in the PNS. Or both. Also possibly different based on the etiology. I do think this question is still up for debate.

Hearing loss most likely. Get an audiogram done.

Nothing does. I've stopped going out of my way to try to lessen my tinnitus to no avail. It's the only way out of this mess.

What in the hell does inner ear exhaustion mean anyways? I cannot find anyone else giving this diagnosis.

The ER. Sudden hearing loss is a medical emergency.

To me, putting more noise on top of a noise injury just seems bad. Nerves heal slowly and with newer findings, we know know that hearing continues to deteriorate for weeks after the initial injury, while showing no changes on the standard audiogram. You may not need to stay in dead silence the...

I get the same feeling sometimes. With some individuals it just becomes a pissing contest on who suffers the most.

There is data (posted on those very forums even!) that shows AM-101 shows greater recovery than placebo 100 days after the injections. Please do not spread misinformation...

So you think more noise in the case of noise damage induced tinnitus is good?

This is textbook autophony probably caused by eustachian tube dysfunction. It's worth investigating further.

Looks like you have noise induced tinnitus. It's been here for 2 months now so I suspect it's here to stay. You may be eligible for the AM-101 study for the treatment of early onset tinnitus. More info : http://tinnitus-study.info

Just a question are you just wearing a regular mouth guard or a custom splint made from an imprint of your teeth?

Go see a doctor.

Those treatments are not out in the market yet. They cannot possibly be far better options.

Not only that but to take it with a bunch of other shit as well.

The only way to get them is through a specialized clinician of course.

Neuroplasticity therapy?

My diagnosis is that those hands are of a funny color. You'll habituate to it though don't worry let me sell you those 1000 $ gloves so you can hide it.

Yeah but you see, as of the article's date there was 0 work done regading chemotherapy.

I find that hard to believe that you got in the trial legitimately. The exclusion criteria from Auris Medical is as follows: Fluctuating tinnitus; Intermittent tinnitus; Tinnitus resulting from traumatic head or neck injury; Presence of chronic tinnitus; Meniere's Disease, history of...

I do not think you can sue because you got tinnitus from this event. There is no way you can prove you have tinnitus in a court of law outside of fancy brain scans that are only used for research.

Probably because patients come in with tinnitus as their primary complaint.

Sound reactive tinnitus or diplacusis.

I'm sure they have. Some sites probably require referral from a doctor. Altough I assume you can get your doctor to lie for you, then it becomes an ethical problem.

Get a private audiology test done instead. It will give you a headstart for the ENT visit where he will probably ask for one anyways.

Even at my work place people can't be bothered to read the material before a meeting. Can't expect more from the internet.

When you start thinking about this stuff you're opening a whole can of worms.

So this thing could do what TRT claims it does.

You need to see a doctor faster and also an audiologist. You can also sign up to the AM-101. These are the only things you should be doing before thinking about alternative treatments and trying to find the cause yourself.

You can certainly try, but keep I would keep my expectations low. It's best not to get emotionally involved in anything tinnitus related.

@LeQuack Posted the only relevant info in this tread. Properly inserting ear plugs minizes the occlusion effect. The occlusion effect will never be worse than not protecting your hearing in sustained loud situations.

A bit of an old post but I couldn't help but to laugh at the picture. Alcohol is the only active ingredient in this thing yet listed as ''inactive''. A child could overdose if he drank the whole thing I guess.

Sure physiotherapy might help with your muscle problems. But you should go for treatment only to fix the problems that the therapy is meant to fix. If your only goal is to make your tinnitus better you are only setting yourself up for disapointment.

Pretty bad deal indeed.

It's not that they don't want it's that actually cannot do anything about it. You can't expect them to come up with the solution that research scientists don't have. There's a lot of misdirected discontent towards ENTs regarding tinnitus and I feel most of it comes from unrealistic...

I'm affraid not only americans get tinnitus. Diet based or supplement approches do nothing for tinnitus.

You are probably right. I do not think 80 db of continuous exposure is good for me (or for anyone else) so I don't even think twice and put ear plugs in. If there are noises I find unconfortable I just put ear plugs and that's the end of it. I get slightly irritated when Jastreboff and his...

May I ask what are the blue lines on your audiograms?

I do not believe in the theory that protecting your hearing causes hyperacusis. At least not any more than what staying in a dark room does to your vision once you are exposed to daylight. The notion that protecting your hearing gives you H just seems bogus to me, and has never been...

I suggest you direct your questions to the people in charge of the trial at your location.

You likely do not have MD. Better hearing thresholds through bone conduction tests means your hearing loss is of conductive origin.
