    Honestly, I would have laughed in her face. "Autism" is the new buzz word applied to any round peg that can't force itself into the square hole. Applying that label to someone like you who obviously has above-average empathy for others is just plain wrong, needless to mention it diminishes the...

    ...out.' My right ear is hypersensitive. If I rub my outer ear canal, I get a tinny sound as opposed to my left. And the same ear if I lightly slap my ear, it increases in ring and does it reactively. My left ear does not do this. JUST....fuck it all...Out of all the shitty medical things to...

    What Are Possible Reasons for Mild Tinnitus?

    Just be sure to keep the white noise below your tinnitus, it will help your brain get used to the noise.

    Tinnitus from Getting Slapped in the Ear — ENT Said I Have Perforated Eardrum

    You are very early in. Your tinnitus can be either from the slap or the loud music, probably nobody ever will be able to tell you the exact cause. But seems like yours are already fading. After a noise trauma sometimes spontaneous recovery happens. ENTs know close to nothing about tinnitus. And...

    Can a Slap Cause Hearing Damage?
