Hi everyone! It hasn't been too long since my concert question, yet I am already facing a new challenge. I am going to have to get fillings replaced at the dentist tomorrow, and the dentist on its own scares me, let alone with all these ear problems I have since recently. Unlike a concert, I...

For the first time since getting my (probably somatic) tinnitus, I am going to go see a concert. I do however want to protect myself as much as possible, and I am considering to even buy Peltor muffs to put on if the noise is still too loud. However, preferably I would like to just wear...

Apart from my tinnitus, I have other symptoms as well, which I am just curious about if they are related. Next to tinnitus I also have TMJ which I am seeing a therapist for. So I figured that might be important information. So, my tinnitus started after a fleeting tinnitus event (which I never...

For a few weeks I have been hearing a very soft morse code type like sound in my ear. It seems to come and go because I don't hear it all the time. It is almost inaudible, but can definitely hear it when I plug my ears, and sometimes even without plugging my ears if I focus on it. Right now...

How do you guys avoid building up wax? Or avoid developing hyperacusis? I have used ear plugs a few months ago nearly every day because of my hyperacusis and noisy work place. My work isn't continuously loud, but there are sudden bursts of noise because of mechanics working relatively close to...

I've been suspecting for a long time that my hissing tinnitus had something to do with my neck/shoulders/jaw because I could influence the volume by tensing it all up or relaxing it. Now today I was putting on my heater (very old gas heater) so I put earplugs in and headphones on, because it is...

Hello everyone, I bet this question gets asked a million times, but I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what to do. A music festival is coming up in about 4 months from now that I would really like to attend. A lot of my favorite bands are coming and tbh I've never been to a music festival and...

I've finally been feeling like I had my life together again, and was excited about it, but then today I was confronted with the loudest noises ever at work. -Metal clanking on metal really loud. -A woman standing on an air packet which exploded. A colleague throwing a heavy item in an...

When I went to the ENT a week ago, they did a tympanometry exam on my ears and the results were good. The doctor said to me that I should be able to fly without a problem, however, I just can't shake the feeling that it might not be the best idea. I have a birthday overseas coming up, for...

Does anyone else feel like their ears invert when exposed to a loud / high pitched sound. It's like I can feel my ears cringing inwards when hearing sounds such as clinging keys or silverware, my ear also tends to pop shortly after. Anyone else with these symptoms?

I have started to dig some more on the internet to try and figure out what's going on with my ears. I have had my suspicions about my jaw pressing my ears shut, but now I have found some actual information proving that this can indeed be the case. I have stopped using nasal spray again because I...

I have been walking with ear problems for a good three months now. It started with a slight hiss, and the doctor established that my ears were inverted. I also have crackling, a messed up jaw etc. Now since this problem I have been feeling a slight sensitivity to sounds, but I figured it was...

I've been struggling with mild tinnitus probably due to TMJ and ETD, but yesterday I was cleaning, and dropped the toilet seat from my hands when it slammed down. The volume was reaaaally loud and I immediately heard slight increased ringing in my ears. My ears hurt as well when it happened. It...

Hello everyone, my eustachian tubes crackles, and my ears won't pop, and I think it's due to my TMD, because the muscles are probably pressing my eustachian tube shut. I would like to know though if despite this being probably TMJ related (and they also couldn't see fluid in my ears every time...

I've been walking around with jaw problems and ear problems for a solid good 3 months now. My left ear started hissing 3 months ago, and the doctor confirmed back then that my ear was inverted. Most likely cause for this is a blocked eustachian tube. After a flight to Milan it got worse, my ears...

Hello everyone, I have been lurking on this forum for about 2 months since my tinnitus started, and have learned a lot about the condition from everything I've read here, and feel like Ive tried to take the proper precautions from it getting worse as well as I can. The sound I hear is a slight...
