Hi all, I am suffering from fullness, spasms, and TMJD-like pain in my jaw and neck after a night out at a nightclub. It has been a year now with some (limited) improvement. I was wondering how many of you have had a similar experience after a noise trauma? Feel free to leave comments if...

I need some advice: I have constant tinnitus since a night-club about six months ago. I had some weird ear fluttering, without any other symptoms, for a month before the acoustic trauma (after a virus). I never had ear pain or jaw pain prior. But my symptoms are strange and don't fit any...

Hi everyone, I have posted elsewhere on the forum, but am looking for advice regarding the ear pain I have been experiencing for five months. A brief overview of my story: at the end of August, I flew home and suffered ear pressure equalization issues while landing. I had difficulty hearing for...

The title says it all. I've had TMJ pain ever since a club-related acoustic trauma two months ago. I'm thinking that it could be related to the middle ear muscles. Is it worth pursuing TMJ-related treatments and diagnostic testing?

Hi everyone, Today's my two month anniversary of noise-induced tinnitus! Unfortunately, I haven't really noticed any changes. I can still only hear it in quiet rooms, which is a blessing. But the fact that it hasn't improved has me a down because I'm worrying that this could be forever and that...

I've had tinnitus and TTTS for about 7 weeks now. The TTTS is painful and my ear flutters in response to some percussive sounds. The zygomatic maneuver that I posted elsewhere gives me temporary relief. Does TTTS tend to improve over time or is surgery the only answer?

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I tried it and was relieved of my TTTS pressure and fluttering in minutes. I will keep doing it--it is reported to result in long-term relief...

Hi everyone, Just an update. Tinnitus is still there 7 weeks after nightclub (23 years old). It seems to have gone up in pitch but not in volume. Not sure what that means, if anything. Fortunately it’s mild and I can only hear it in complete silence. It might have improved? Hard to tell, but it...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to flag a new Chinese study by Xiaoqiong Ding, Xiaoli Zhang, Zhichun Huang and Xu Feng of the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at Zhongda Hospital: "The tinnitus recovery mechanism is different from the mechanism for hearing recovery. Many useful...

Hi everyone, I introduced myself yesterday. I’m 23 years old. About six weeks ago, I got tinnitus from a night out at a club. Three weeks later, I did a course of prednisone. I thought it had decreased, but realize that it hasn’t diminished since then. I’m becoming really sad and hopeless. I...

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for about six weeks now--ever since I got tinnitus from a night at a club. I don't club more than three times per year (yes, three times too many!) and am 23 years old. The tinnitus is pretty mild (tonal and constant) but inaudible except at night. I can mask it...
