Today was not a great day for me at all, and I'm not sure if my anxiety is getting the best of me or if it is my H & T. Today I went for a hair cut and highlights. This is something I have done before, and while the place I go to can get noisy I have always been fine wearing my foam earplugs...

This may be a weird question, but obviously I have Tinnitus, so I understand my ringing to an extent. But about 20 minutes ago while just browsing the internet my left ear went deaf and I got a different ring, it was very high pitched. The ringing and the "deafness" slowly faded but now my ear...

Hello @Dr. Nagler, I have had Hyperacusis since January, and have been using the pink noise cd from the Hyperacusis network since early June. My LDLs at that time were 68-72. I used to have the TTTS symptom of the fluttering in the ear upon hearing certain sounds, sometimes my voice...

My apartment buildings walls are so thin, and this morning I was laying on my futon that is a couple feet away from my front door when I guess my neighbors were fighting. One of them opened the door and slammed it shut yelling, and then his gf/wife opened it back up shouted something and slammed...

Does anyone else with H know how to deal with it? I woke up in the middle of the night to extremely loud Thunder and my ears ached and felt stuffy.

So Tinnitus (December 2012-now) and then also Hyperacusis with some Tensor Tympani Syndrome (November 2013-now), but also I believe the past couple months I have had Eustachian Tube Dysfunction as well as now TMJ. Is there no hope for me?

TMJ, ETD, Hyperacusis .... who knows - maybe someone here does! Today I was eating a bar of crispy chocolate and it was hard to bite down on and my jaw cracked and then I got a shot of pain to my ear that is still there. That ear is also crackling now more than it used to. Also it feels a...

Setbacks suck so much, I feel like I jinxed myself. I posted about how I was slowly recovering some sound tolerance and how things were just getting better in terms of H, and then I got hit with 2 setbacks - 2 days in a row. Currently in pain, and just am so frustrated. I cried today, and it...

There is this coffee body scrub that I want to buy, and the benefits come from the caffeine in it... So now I'm wondering (since I've given up coffee because caffeines affect on my T), will it absorb and then bother my T? I know this may be so silly, and there may be an obvious answer....but...

I'm not sure if anyone else with H has experienced this before but this morning I had a dream that I was sitting in my backyard with my dog and he started barking because he heard the gate open (this is a common thing in real life) - but in my dream he barked 100x louder than I think he can even...

Neuromonics vs TRT What is the real difference?

So I took a break from TT for awhile since I did feel like I was obsessing over what is going on with me (T increase and onset of H). I was struggling with H but in the past couple weeks I felt like I was getting this under control and T had settled down to almost baseline finally. Then...

It seemed like I was doing alright for a bit, and lately my ears have been feeling so tight and my neck feels tight too. I finally called the only Doctor who is trained in TRT in Illinois and found out that she currently has a waiting list. I'm not sure how long the wait will be...but all the...

So yesterday I realized that my right ear was finally feeling normal again. NO MORE FULLNESS! I had a really great past 2 night and slept without masking. Today while at school I went to the school store to buy a new sketch pad and water and the woman ringing me up slammed the cash register...

This isn't a post about myself, weird huh? haha So as most of you know when I first got T it was over a year ago. I had warned my friends who were frequent concert goers to please start protecting their ears. One friend in particular goes to bars/clubs/concerts multiple times a week. A couple...

My T had become barely audible until my spike after stupidly going to a concert at the end of November. Now not only is my T louder but in January I developed what I believe is Hyperacusis, as well as problems with tensor tympani muscle & eustachian Tube Dysfunction. ugh. I feel like I come to...

My ears have been horrible lately, and I'm not sure if it's my anxiety or not but this new H that I have has been horrible too. My head hurts and my neck feels hot constantly, and hurt. My left ear (which used to be my less annoying ear) has been hissing away. I feel nauseous and have been...

I can tolerate loud noises, but they do bother me and make me super anxious. I have had the symptoms of ear fullness (which have no gone away yet) and have had the burning sensations, but lately loud noises have happened around me and I just freak out, I think my ears become fuller...but it...

I want to look into doing this for my H, but will it affect my T??? Will the noise make things worse?

When I first got T in December of 2012, I didn't know. I didn't think anything of it after the concert I went to - until a week later an old coworker of mine at the time who has T said something about imagine having your ears ringing 24/7 and how stressed he is. Later that night I realized that...

Certain noises, like cracking my knuckles make my ears make a suction noise. I don't understand what that is?

Does anyone ever feel that their ear is full/more full when falling asleep on that ear? Yesterday I took a nap, and woke up and was extremely hot (I was next to a radiator) - and my right nostril and ear where both stuffy/full. Today my ear is still feeling full.

I'm not sure if it's because I've been reading lots of T related things today, or if its because I didn't sleep many hours last night (not T related), but it is so loud. bleh.

As my relationship goes on, the more marriage is brought up. I have expressed my concerns about having a wedding reception with my T. It's truly something that makes me want to cry, I always wanted a large wedding...and now with T - IDK if that is possible. I'm scared to think about the wedding...

Has anyone has this done and has it spiked your T?

Does anyone who experiences or has experienced crackling or popping when they swallow or yawn or open their mouth has had it subside? I used to have popping randomly around the time I first got T, but not nearly as bad as it is now with my most recent spike. I have noticed when I wake up in...

Does anyone else get this? My ear has been full for the past 2 weeks, and today my neck hurts on that side. I am worried.

Anyone experience their T being louder after grocery shopping, with all the music and the beeps from the register, and what not?

Does anyone else who has H&T ever get numbness in the face/neck ? My right ear is the side that gets fullness and pain with noise, but today a noise made my ear very full again (it had been subsiding), but now my right side of my face/neck are also numb. Will this subside?

It seems like with every positive comment I find 3 negative comments. While reading the same thread I can go from feeling a bit better to feeling even worse than I did prior to reading. Let's make this thread one that ONLY has positive comments/stories/helpful things.

Does anyone else experience their ears popping when gulping or yawning after have ear plugs in? Mine have been the past few days and today I didn't wear any till about a half hr ago and it started up again.

Is anyone else here in school? How do you deal with loud professors and classmates who slam things constantly. I've been wearing my earplugs but it makes it hard to concentrate or listen. Also I started taking magnesium citrate pills today, how many Mgs should I take a day?

I had previously posted about a concert worsening my T late November - along with this came fullness in my ears and the clicking and crackling when I swallowed, and then it had gotten better again. My T was almost back to what it was before November, and the fullness and crackling was gone. Then...

Okay, so I know this is going to sound completely silly, but can dreams spike T? I've been having dreams where I'm at a concert or somewhere else loud that I know I shouldn't be, and in my dream I say that I shouldn't be there because it's going to make the ringing worse. When I wake up from...

I'm new to having H. I have had T for over a year now, but H only since November. After attending a concert in November, my T spiked as well as this new feeling of an ear ache and fullness in my right ear. The pain and fullness went away in a few weeks, but yesterday I was sitting next to a...

So for the past 2 weeks or so my T had been back at base-level almost and I was very happy. I have noticed that with my last spike (November 29th), I had also developed hyperacusis. My right ear was full and somewhat painful, like an ear ache. With time it had gone away. Earlier today I was...

I had an audiogram last January, but after the spike I had a month ago and the ear with fullness, my ENT wants me to get another one - tomorrow. I put it off for a few days, and I'm actually very nervous. The first time I had one done I did not experience any negative effects to my T, but after...

I went to the ENT today for a check up on something for my nose, and I ended up talking to him about my T. This was not the same ENT I went to that was a horrible doctor when I went when I first got T. He wants to me get another hearing test, and has be set up for one tomorrow. I am really...

My T's tone changes all the time, for example about an hour ago it was very high pitched and less noticeable because of the pitch, and now it's lower and more noticeable. Does anyone else experience this? I know I've read a lot of people who say their's is constant and the same, but mine isn't...

So here is my story, I know many of you may have had similar ones... One year ago I went to 2 loud concerts two nights in a row. No hearing protection, next to speakers. I have had tinnitus ever since. Now it was very hard at first, discouraging when I saw a ENT and he said "There is no cure...
