Nociception in Pain Hyperacusis “What are the mechanisms behind pain hyperacusis, and are there pain receptors associated with the ear? A straightforward answer appears to lie in the feedback and modulating system of nociception, which is integral to the mammalian pain response. Nociceptive...

Not sure if this has been posted yet--I did a quick search and didn't find anything, but if that's not the case then I'll just delete. This was published on Sept 28, 2021, so it's recent, and the findings are very interesting to me: "We use RiboTag and single-cell RNA sequencing to survey the...

New mouse study dropped a few days ago. Thought it would be good to have on here:

I've been browsing this forum for most of the day to try and figure out what's wrong with me, and I'm starting to spiral into anxiety, so I figured I'd make a post to see if anyone has had a similar experience. Basically things started this past Wednesday. I noticed my tinnitus was spiking...

I have noise-induced tinnitus, and I recently got prescribed Maxalt (Rizatriptan) for vestibular migraines. I've read that same people have developed pulsatile tinnitus and hyperacusis from it, and since I want to pursue a career in music, I can't risk anything else that will make my tinnitus...

So for the past few days, I've been intermittently hearing this DUNDUNDUNDUN sound in my right ear. Kinda sounds like there's either a motorcycle revving up outside of my house or the soundtrack to someone getting murdered is being played. I'm surprised that this is happening because I've been...

So in this dumb post I will be discussing how badly I want to use headphones so I can get that urge out of my system. I'm not going to use them [probably], but the AirPods sitting on my dresser for the past eight months are suddenly looking realllyyy interesting. I, like most people in the...

I'm being dead serious. I need someone to put a website blocker on Ticketmaster before I do something extraordinarily dumb. I've had noise induced tinnitus since June. It's been non-stop. It's continued to be the pretty much the same, even as I finished out my concert photography internship...

Hey all, I recently lost my pair of nice custom westone earplugs. As I live in a very loud city, I basically have to wear earplugs whenever I step outside and whenever I take public transit. Thus, I've been using foam earplugs as I really have no other choice. However, ear plugs are becoming...

Hey, I have noise induced tinnitus, and I'm looking for a part time job while I attend college. I know it's corny, but I really want to be a barista. I love coffee, and it just seems like a cool gig to me. Anyways, coffee shops are pretty loud, especially behind the counter where there are...

Right so, before I got tinnitus, my dream was to be a producer/songwriter. I also really wanted to DJ and perform my music. I am rethinking those plans now because tinnitus makes those goals extremely risky and unlikely to reach. However, from what I can gather, there are a ton of music...

Hey all, Recently as I was surfing the net, I came across headphone attenuators, which I'd never heard of before. They basically reduce the output volume on headphones so they inflict less damage in your ears. I know headphones are risky business, especially with noise induced tinnitus, so I...

Hey guys, I was just wondering at what DB level are ear plugs deemed necessary? I tend to put them in when I'm exposed to sounds above 70 dB [which is pretty much whenever I go outside since I live in a city]. That being said, I want to make sure I'm not over protecting my ears.

Hey guys, I'm living in a very large/noisy city, and I've started to wear earplugs as I walk around (I have hearsavers by emtech). However, this has been causing me problems. My ears hurt after about an hour of wear, though sometimes as I'm running errands I need to keep them in longer. I also...

Ok so here's my deal: I moved home to the suburbs for the summer, but I spend most of my year in NYC where it is quite loud. I was wondering if I should walk around the city with earplugs while out and about because I don't want to do any accidental damage to my ears. However, I've heard that...

Hey all-- I have an internship at a radio station, and I've been doing a lot of concert/studio session photography, meaning that I am often next to loud, live music. I've had tinnitus for the past two weeks, and I'm very worried that it's permanent. Since I'm young and hoping to work in the...
