What is a TTS? I've googled it, but I'm not sure I really get it. I'm not sure where my T came from, and if it was noise-induced, it was from headphone use over the years, and not from any one loudness incident. I've never had any temporary ringing in my ears like some experience after a...

I know that sounds like an almost rhetorical question, as that's mainly what most T sufferers talk about and experience and dread. But does anyone, or is it even known why spikes occur at all? From a minimal layman's common-sense perspective, if you have a certain level of damage to your...

I've gone on a few musicians' sites, and it seems like all kinds of them have it, and not just rock stars. DJs too. Which of course stands to reason. I know there's a least a couple, but if any else want to give themselves a shout out, feel free! Musicians need to be a the forefront of T...

Dr. Nagler, I was wondering if you could recommend a good ENT doctor in the state of Oregon so I could see about my possible ETD/Otitis Media issues. You were recommended by others on the board as someone who might know. I live in Bend, Oregon, which seems to have but one clinic of six or...

Does anybody actually know? When I say 'anybody' of course I just mean whoever, medical experts and so forth. It certainly seems as if ENTs know almost nothing as to why, other than to say that it will probably go away. And then inevitably - learn to live with it. We know why loud sound...

and if your T goes away when your stress goes away, are you okay to listen to loud sounds again? At least as okay as anyone else who doesn't have T, and seems to be able to live a normal life just fine, i.e. going to movies, loud restaurants, if not obvious no-nos for anyone really like...

First of all Dr. Nagler, I really want to thank you for being so incredibly generous with your time and experience and expertise. This site is very lucky to have you. All I wanted to ask, and I hope this doesn't seem like I'm seeking specific medical advice, or certainly not a diagnosis, is...

Any advice on what I should be asking about or expecting? The office I'm going to got a gold star from the ATA, so that much is good. And they seem pretty cool and caring on the phone, and that part is also good. Anyway just wanted to get the most out of my visit. Thanks!

Is it safe to sweat in them? Riding a bike, working out a gym, that sort of thing? Also, how long can you wear them? Should you only have them in for several hours a a day? Are there any adverse effects to know about? Thanks.

I just got a pair from the local guitar shop. I'm definitely going to get a better pair, and spend a little money. But these were just for the time being. Six bucks is all. Any good? Also, I've never worn ear plugs before. Any dos or don'ts? Thanks. Just wanted to add, they're mainly...

I thought I read something about stress causing tinnitus over the last week. Is stress actually considered a documented, genuine cause? Of course one gets rather anxious and stressed after they get tinnitus. But can you get tinnitus from stress?
