I suggest you search here on TT. There are already several members giving their reports that they got worse after the exams, and even they did not have tinnitus and were left with tinnitus after the exams.

And people, including people who have mild tinnitus, and even doctors and audiologists have to understand that there are varying degrees of tinnitus, as well as pain. And that is why the classification of the severity of tinnitus is: mild, moderate, severe, very severe and catastrophic.

I think it's unacceptable and strange to say that the person always has a mental problem, and that mental problem is always before tinnitus. They never think that anyone who has intrusive tinnitus cannot be without a mental problem, because it is impossible for a person not to be affected...

There are several tests that all of them request and which are contraindicated for people who have tinnitus and / or hyperacusis. They either don't know or don't care. And it happens all over the world.

There are many places that are in very hot summer and have cases of coronavirus increasing.

I had an MRI 6 years ago and as a result I have tinnitus and hyperacusis. I don't have anything before taking this exam, which was very, very loud. One of the antibiotics you cited ė admittedly ototoxic.

Talking about another exam that is much requested by ENT, I found this: http://www.noiseandhealth.org/article.asp?issn=1463-1741;year=2014;volume=16;issue=73;spage=422;epage=426;aulast=Fernandes https://www.interacoustics.com/guides/test/tympanometry-tests/reflex-measurements The two talk...

Petej, Why did you say wearing plugs is difficult? Hearing protectors should only be worn when you know you will have a noise that can damage your ear. It's also not good for us to use them a lot, because we hear the sound of tinnitus lot more and decrease the audibility threshold.

Petej, As you said, the characteristics of your tinnitus are acoustic trauma with hearing loss.

What I find absurd and inadmissible is the fact that people are always asking the same questions, for years, and the scientific community and professionals involved in the treatment and research of tinnitus, hyperacusis and other related problems have no answer for anything yet. People who have...

Pete, Do not feel alone, we are with you. Only those who go through this can really understand what it is about.

Everything you're saying is true. Many people have passed or gone through this. What can not be done is to ignore that this exists, what is worse when it is done by professionals of the area, that is an incredible and inadmissible thing. You are not alone!

Pete, I understand you. I've had tinnitus and hyperacusis since 2013 due to acoustic trauma. I know very well how it is. Do you think you had acoustic trauma or are you sure? The behavior of tinnitus has everything to do with its cause. You have been tinnitus for a short time, and as we see...

PeteJ, you should not use the hearing protector for too long because it lowers the audibility threshold, and may make the situation worse. A good protector is those blues for swimming, 3M. You should only use them when you think a noise will harm you. It is best to avoid these noises and not...

The big problem is the tinnitus volume, those who have a mild tinnitus are very different from those who have severe tinnitus, which is much more difficult to deal with.

It's good for the people who talk that they do not have to worry about the noises of everyday life. It is a sign that this person is very well. At least, hyperacusis this person does not have!

People with tinnitus, even without hearing loss, in 45% will present hearing loss over time, in one scientific work was on average three and a half years. The loss was moderate, bilateral and in high frequencies.

They can say the opposite because they do not know. There are several medications that make tinnitus worse, and even doctors who prescribe them do not know it and, worst of all, do not even care to know that.

In my country is like that: There is a list of disease, made 40 years ago, that you can retire for disability with your full salary. If you have tinnitus or other disease that is not present in this list, you will receive around 23% of your salary, even if you contributed every month of your...

I totally agree with you. Have you read the alert that came out about fluoroquinolones? A group of them have already caused aortic aneurysm.

Emanuel, Congratulations on your words! You are a person who understands. These people who have mild tinnitus that improves with mindfulness don't need to seek help and make people think that there are no more serious cases.

Then it means that the acoustic trauma and other causes of tinnitus has nothing to do with lesion in strutures of the auditory system? I was treated at a psychiatric clinic for depression and anxiety caused by tinnitus. This clinic with five psychiatrist and many patients, only treat people with...

I did mindfulness. The psychologist studied in England, didn't know what was tinnitus and what the consequences might have for a person. It was another thing that did NOTHING to improve tinnitus!

I don't know what to do to help anymore. Neither do the people who are involved, directly, in the treatment of tinnitus and hyperacusis. The big problem is people who have an intrusive tinnitus, which interferes in several aspects of their lives. I've been to an internationally recognized ENT...

Raphael7713, Can you stop smoking? Smoking is very bad for the ear and other health problems. I'm proud of how the anti-smoking campaign worked out here.

https://www.osha.gov Methods for estimating the adequacy of hearing protector attenuation

There are two formulas to calculate the effectiveness of the protector.

The dB that say they protect in theory is not the same in practice, you have to apply a formula.

Yes, ENT and audiologists say there is no tinnitus greater than 10dB. Now, an audiologist told me that the maximum of a tinnitus is 20dB which is already a big difference. ENT told me: I'll ask to measure the volume of your tinnitus, to show you how low it is, then maybe you'll get better...

Exactly, I know, but they think we don't know. When will they open their heads and this will change?

When I talked about TT that I find the most complete place on tinnitus, they laughed with debauchery and they said: you have to stop believing in this things.

But when you tell the professionals responsible for it, they don't believe and still think you are crazy because of their ignorance. I said that I had already noticed that it was getting worse, and I had already read several people complaining about the same thing. They said: you have to stop...

What I don't understand and don't admit is the fact that ENTs do not know that certain tests are dangerous for us and may even worsen our situation. How are you going to prove that to justice where there is no one in the medical field, if even doctors do not know? When I told ENT that I would...

I had floaters at the same side and time of tinnitus. The floaters disappeared after two years, without treatment, and tinnitus is getting worse.

Has anyone made a measurement of the frequency and intensity or volume of tinnitus?

Bus driver is one of the professions that most have hearing loss, because of the noise of the bus engine, many people talking, air conditioning and the traffic noise.

FIVE YEARS AND 3 MONTHS, 24h/d, high pitched.

Money can help at this point of not having the need to work, because they make lots of money and very fast. Regarding tinnitus, we are all in the same boat. For the time being, it's no use having money.

A person with severe tinnitus can not work normally, especially in a place with loud noise.

It's an unacceptable thing! And the worst thing is that: the radiologist does not know, nor the technician. When I was submitted to MRI, I requested double protection and they said that I did not need.

Eric N, my tinnitus started after an MRI of the spine.I had nothing in my ear. I find it absurd to ask for MRI for anyone who has tinnitus and hyperacusis. I already read a scientific paper that states that 5 a 8% of people who are submitted to MRI can have hearing loss!!!!!!!!?????? That's a...

I am in favor of doing everything possible to improve tinnitus as long as it doesn't harm the person. But there is one thing I can't understand. If they (ENT, audiologist...) tell us that we have to take action as soon as possible or tinnitus becomes a brain thing, and that is all a problem of...

juliob, Onde você mora no Brasil? Tamara

You're absolutely right in everything you say.

Cover ears is better than earplugs, but it's more tiring and if you always keep doing it, it will hurt your ears.

In fact, most professionals involved with tinnitus and hyperacusis do not know that certain hearing tests worsen the condition although there is the report of several people in relation to this. They think all patients are ignorant people being that, in fact, who are the ignorant? I think this...

Anna, do everything calmly, I know that there are now MRI machines that have up to half of the noise, but this is expensive and this price will be passed to the consumer, because the method of construction of the machine has differences. I know that there is a percentage of people who do MRI and...

My God, I can't believe. I've written so many times here that I have severe tinnitus because of a MRI with inappropriate hearing protection. Why do not people research before they undergo this test that can have irreversible consequences?

I would also like to know what the BTA and ATA are doing, objectively, regarding tinnitus and hyperacusis. I think members of this forum should respect and accept everyone's opinion. To speak the truth is not to be negative. I would donate to the ATA, but I did research and noticed that they...

Words fall short of expressing my sorrow. We will never forget you. RIP Danny Boy.

TracyJS, no, you will not get the tinnitus worse because of this, the only problem is that person does not know how to do acupuncture. As has been said, you do not feel pain when it is well done.That's exactly what Wolfears said.

It was not to hurt like this. Is weird.

When I had acute acoustic trauma, along with tinnitus, I began to notice many floaters on the same side of the tinnitus, left ear, left eye. After about two years I did not see the floaters anymore.The tinnitus and hyperacusis getting worse almost five years later.

I see that the cases that take more time to get better are those caused by acoustic trauma or noise injury because they also cause hyperacusis.
