    Suicide

    Tonight It's worse than yesterday, yesterday it was worse than week ago, week ago it was worse than month ago and so on... New sounds, new volume, increased reaction, decreased sound tolerance. Since yesterday I feel pain in both ears. And it's not hyperacusis pain. I can touch my left ear...

    New Level, New Sounds, 3 Days without Sleep

    I've had my bad moments during the year with tinnitus and hyperacusis but never been so close from actually finishing with this madness for good. This is no longer anything remotely similar to "living". How can I habituate to something so fluctuating, reactive and permanently worsening for no...

    Do Noise Cancelling Headphones Produce Static Noise Itself?

    I am about to have a flight in few days so I bought online a pair of used noise canceling headphones (sony mdr 100abn) and noticed that they produce low-level static noise regardless whether noise canceling is switched on or off. Is it normal or did I just get a faulty unit? They work quite...

    Possible Solution for Those Struggling with Occlusion Effect

    Originally it was my response to another post but I thought the whole idea may "deserve" own thread. Probably some of you using earplugs noticed very annoying occlusion effect when you speak, eat (for me even my own footsteps seem to be too loud when I wear earplugs) There seems to be a...

    Everytime I Touch Right Ear I Experience Strange Sensation

    A few days ago accidentally I've noticed a strange thing. Every time I stick my finger into right ear canal and pull it suddenly I experience strange sensation: something out there (eardrum?) is moving for a fraction of second and there's a sound like wind hitting a foresail or bedsheet...

    6 Months In... Now I'm Suicidal

    DON'T READ IF YOU ARE NEW TO TINNITUS OR HYPERACUSIS! THE ODDS THAT YOU WILL HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS ME ARE STATISTICALLY VERY LOW. Hi, everyone! I don't know what to do. I am 30 years old, male. My T started 6 months ago in one ear. Overusage of earbuds or one acoustic trauma might be...

    Is 70-80 dBA at Work Too Much? Hyperacusis Got Worse...

    Hi! I suffer from Tinnitus for 5 months now. Since the onset, it gradually got worse, moved to the second ear and became reactive (or was that way from the beginning, hard to say). At first, I blamed overuse of earbuds and loud work environment but as my boss measured noise at work it shows...

    Neti Pot + Valsalva = Huge Spike

    Help! Three days ago I tried to use the Neti pot to irrigate my sinuses (inspired by a success story found on the forum), something went wrong and some water got into my right Eustachian tube. I tried to get rid of it by bending my head, shaking it and (most stupid thing) doing soft Valsalva...

    Knowledgeable and Well Equipped ENT in London Area

    Hello everyone. I suspect my tinnitus to be related to ETD or chronic ear infection. NHS route was good enough to rule out several potential causes but didn't actually help me to find the reason of my T and H. Do you know a professional that is able to diagnose me more thoroughly (at least...

    My Story + Recent Spike from Neti Pot/Valsalva

    Hello everyone! Sorry for long post and my English (which is not my first language). If you don't want to read full story just skip to the bottom part. In September last year one day after returning from work I've noticed that my mild tinnitus which I have as long as I remember has got more...
