Somewhat late reply, but relating to your temporary tinnitus spikes from sound therapy/hearing tests, I had a few questions because I'm experiencing something similar currently. I was searching for tinnitus relief after hurting my ear drums while cleaning them, and some of the white noise I...

From my understanding, 'perfect' hearing from a clinical standpoint is different from actual perfect hearing. Most hearing tests do not test the so-called "useless" frequencies, and it's within those frequencies that an individual might have significant hearing loss. This can create the illusion...

Your circumstances are fairly similar to mine. I doubt you're still active on this forum, but I would value hearing what you experienced afterwards if possible.

A couple of days later, my symptoms remain and my concern is growing. I've made an appointment with an ENT, but it won't be for about a week. I'm likely to head to Urgent Care to try and see if they can deduce what's going on, or at the very least, get a prescription for Prednisone before the...

I don't think it was exclusively induced by anxiety, but I was suffering from mild panic attacks after losing a loved one on bad terms prior, so I wouldn't be surprised if it contributed to it in some way. This occurred before the ear drum problem. My tinnitus was improving notably after that...

I hope you're still doing alright. Just in case you're still reading this forum, I'll offer some advice that helped me. Before I had what I have now, I suffered primarily from a mild somatic tinnitus. Pertaining particularly to TMJ, I was able to drastically increase the volume (modulate) of...

Thanks for the reply. Your thoughts mirror my own which is very comforting. Tinnitus for me is a little bit like gasoline for the fire that is my anxiety -- so even though the tinnitus itself isn't usually intolerable, it really wreaks havoc on my mental stability at times like this.

I deeply empathize with many of the posts in this thread. I recently habituated to my somatic tinnitus, but overreacted to a spike I was having by searching for white noise to mask it. Now, I'm terrified that I've caused permanent damage to my ears and caused legitimate tinnitus to spring up...

Hello! I've always had somatic tinnitus prominently in one ear, but after recently rupturing my ear drums, I started to have symptoms in both. In addition to all the new stress surrounding this, I started spiking pretty badly. I tried a few methods to relieve this like stretching to relieve...
