I've just figured out that I have a mild amount of eustachian tube dysfunction and it is causing a very loud clicking sound in the ears. Normally I wouldn't care, except that this loud noise is setting off my otic migraines because the noise is so loud. Does anyone have ideas for effective...

I have recently started to lose my low frequency hearing and have been experiencing a low, idling motor type of tinnitus on occassion which comes and goes and feels like my head is vibrating. It all started temporarily after I got up too fast and all of the blood rushed to my head and ears far...

I am a plane enthusiast and occasionally like to go plane spotting at the local airport. I observe commercial jet takeoffs and landings from a turnoff about 350 meters perpendicular to the runway, with some planes taking off right in front (but perpendicular) to the car. Aircraft take off and...

So after all these months I finally was diagnosed with inner ear-related migraines (most likely blood vessel spasms in the tiny vessels in my ears. This is not MAV but a different kind of migraine which may exclusively produce hearing loss, tinnitus, and ear pain; in my case though I can get...

Piece of advice to hyperacusis sufferers. If you have bad hyperacusis or T, please give the warning (multiple times) to your ENT to speak quietly before they begin speaking to you. They are likely accustomed to speaking like drill sergeants to people who are hard of hearing, but that is bad...

Around the middle of May I had a number of problems which may have signaled the onset of a TMJ disorder, although I don't really know. One of the troubles I began having were minor difficulties in swallowing, and realized that I was swallowing much harder than before and too rapidly. What was...

Hello, Currently on seroquel and clonapin. Don't know the dosage on that, but I take a low dose only twice a day. Noticed my T goes off and on, and instead of getting a hearing loss every few days, I now get small sudden losses twice a day or more, and it is still rapidly deteriorating...

Well, after having so many episodes of migraines, ear pain, T, hearing loss, vertigo/dizziness, and ear fullness from any kind of pressure changes (middle and external ear), loud noises, and bending over or straining or shaking my head or exertion, I do believe I may indeed have either hydrops...

I'm really curious about this question, as I have read that frequencies in the 2-6 khz range are more dangerous at high decibels and can harm you at a lower exposure time than can other lower pitched noises. I have mixed opinions having been 'bitten' by high bass frequencies before, but... In...

I was recently found to have a floppy, or possibly retracted eardrum on a tympanogram in my right ear. The tinnitus noises are various but often come about when a pressure change (even putting finger near the ear) is induced in the ear. I have also noticed my hearing is not as good or dull...

Well, the unthinkable happened where bending too close to a toilet flushing for 2 seconds set off hearing damage, ear fullness, and of course new T tones in one ear. Also mild vertigo, depressive episode, and dissociative symptoms . Overall a small loss but big consequences for my well-being...

Hello all, I developed a strange tinnitus that is freaking me out today. Every time I hear any sound in the environment, that sound gets converted into a single tone around 5-6 khz. That is, doesn't matter if it is a person walking, a bird chirping, or me talking. Every sound is replaced...

I was enjoying the best day of my life for over a month yesterday evening. Both my ears had healed completely (no more ringing, dullness, or full feeling), and I was able to go to (some) public places without earplugs for the first time in eons. It was like the day I felt would never come. But...

This morning I was removing one of my earplugs in my right hear. The plug must have gotten caught momentarily in my ear canal, and when I moved it just enough to get it to come out, it made a very loud popping noise in my ear. My ear hurt for a bit and rang slightly, but that subsided quickly...

I'm just at my wits end right now. Things were just settling down for my ear and mental well being yesterday when I was exposed to a bathroom stall door slamming shut. That noise caused my left ear to feel full and stuffy, and now I have reduced hearing and greatly elevated screeching. It was...

Though I am still not 100% sure what is up with me, I have a number of strong indications that I am in fact experiencing vestibular and basilar migraines, and that is why I have been experiencing a whole host of ear and neuro symptoms occurring at the same time. Still have yet to see the neuro...

Hi all, Well this is the second time my hearing was diminished from strenuous exercise. Lost some in the very high frequencies and in frequencies where previous damage occurred. Still no recovery. Interestingly no other symptoms this time except for pressure feelings and crackling sounds in...

First of all, has anyone experienced hearing loss and vestibular symptoms from strenuous exercise (I am quite aware that tinnitus can occur from it)? Also, does anyone here have either of these conditions where exercise or strain became an issue? So, for the story. Yesterday I went on a super...

Has anyone experienced this? I've always thought of this possibility, and have heard an account or two of this happening to someone on this site. I think it's important to get any awareness out there if this is the case. Though I am careful with my earplugs (ok, sometimes I itch my ears with...

Hi again. Well, I got what may have been a noise spike albeit it is unclear. Last night I went to a formal dance party. I actually stayed in the lobby, knowing I would be screwed if I went to the dance floor itself. There was a glass wall separating me from the dance floor and moderately...

So yesterday I went flying home for Thanksgiving on a 4 hour flight. I sat in the back of the airplane, and wore a pair of tight fitting earplugs that make a reasonable suction when you push them in far enough into the canal. I have used these same earplugs every time I have flown with no...

So I am a 21 year old still-in college student who has had a number of hearing issues in the past year. Frankly, my problems with hearing loss and T started a few years ago, as a result of repeated exposure to high volumes on my ipod; I have stopped such behavior since Spring of 2014, however...
