I get fairly severe anxiety and on a frequent basis. Subsequently I’ve been given a prescription for sertraline (Zoloft). The problem is I’m petrified of it damaging my hearing due to its ototoxicity. I’ve had hyperacusis, ETD, TTTS and mild, transient tinnitus for years. I saw one...

I was sitting in the street, when a guy in an old sports car came driving past. He put his foot down and the exhaust backfired, about 10 feet directly in front of me, it sounded like an explosion. my ears rang for a handful of seconds, and since my hearing feels dull and muffled. I'm *so *...

I was laughing and joking around when I clapped my hands in front of my face, now my ear is full and my hearing is muffled? Can a handclap damage hearing?

I have been assigned neck stretches to do by the doctor, the problem is because I get shoulder spasm/ twitches I've hit the bottom front part of my ear with my shoulder more than once. I'm worried I might have damaged my middle or inner ear bones, as on these occasions I've felt a feeling of...

How do you suggest I put this to a doctor who is likely to say "wait and see what happens"? Yes, thank you for asking.

I was in a shopping mall bathroom when the big door slammed about a 1/3 of a meter behind me, it was so loud due to the small size of the room that to me it sounded like a shotgun going of next to my head. Quite frankly, I'm freaking out, it's by far the loudest sudden loud noise I've ever...

That sounds like Northern European astute thinking and consideration. To answer your previous queries: The siren was going on continuously as it was advancing down the road towards me and was right along side me for about 3- 4 seconds. I couldn't say how far away The siren was from my ear...

I was on the pavement when an ambulance sped past me with the siren on leaving me with muffled hearing (it feels like partial deafness) and ear pressure people say ambulance sirens are around 120 to even 130 dB so I'm really scared I've had my hearing damaged.

I was getting fitted for a suit yesterday when the tailor leaned close towards me while whistling, for 2-3s it was almost like he was whistling in my ear, which was enough to trigger my hyperacusis (causing fullness, muffled hearing etc). My question is, if the sound of him whistling was 60 db...

@Richard zurowski it was about 10 secs, I'm just worried cause I've heard 115 db of sound for 30 seconds can cause permanent damage

I was walking down the street when a ambulance stopped parallel to my left ear and started the siren, I tried to get away as fast I could but now my hearing is muffled on that side. Have my ears been permanently damaged?

My room door takes a few attempts before it closes properly, after which my ear feels full and kind of like they've been impacted; on this occasion. I use a wheelchair so my ear was only a hall foot away from the door handle Is this enough to cause damage? I heard a door slam is 90db, is it...

Because I was exposed to sound levels that were dangerously high? In a library? I empathise with your situation and I didn't mean to offend you, but you clearly don't understand how it can be frustrating for some who avoids loud sound to be subjected to it against their will.

Thanks, the good news is there's no ringing, just the ear fullness and muffled hearing

is that permanent too?

Today without realising I sat down 5 feet from two fire alarms, in my universities library, that were moments away from being tested, the word thing is I TRIED to tolerate it for 10 seconds but it was just too much, By the time I covered my ears it was too late - they were already feeling...
