    I Have Hyperacusis and I’m Starting to Be Afraid of Sounds...

    I have a good ENT appointment soon. Can any of you guys offer some pointers or tips or point me toward some good resources? For example, I am suddenly being hit by the fear that in a few weeks I’ll have to sleep with the AC on. It’s next to my bed and lowish pitched, so it probably won’t be...

    Now Low Fuzzing (Ffffzzzz) in Both Ears — Why?

I also drove for a bit with earplugs in and maybe 15 minutes with earplugs not in. I also hung out in a...

    I don't know why. Please help me figure out why. I think my tinnitus became louder. Yesterday I drove my car for a little bit. Tried on noise canceling headphones without earplugs underneath for a half hour while doing some driving and some running on exercise machines. The tinnitus is in my...

    TMJ, Salts, and Keto

    I've been on the keto diet for about 2 years. I was pretty good with getting the salts I needed. Now I'm suffering from TMJ and Tinnitus. Should I stop keto? Should I just get more and more salts? Any experience? People online seem to be posting that keto fixed their TMJ, but I know that keto...

    Tinnitus — TMJ/TMD Jaw Opening — Could Work on My Teeth Have Caused TMJ/TMD and My Tinnitus?

    I had always had some very light tinnitus plus sensitivity in one ear. I got some dental work done a few times on the far back teeth and afterward I always felt like I had a hard time opening my mouth that wide. What are the chances that the injections and the work on my teeth could have been...

    I'm Scared, I Don't Know Which Kind of Doctor to Turn to, I Have So Many Questions

    Hi. My name is David and I'm scared. I have attended a lot of loud concerts in my life and up until maybe six months ago everything was fine. My right ear would be very sensitive to noises, sometimes, especially if I was anxious. I get anxious a lot. About a month ago the always super faint...
