Something that I've noticed is not talked about on here (I searched the forums on here), is whether or not people are getting spikes/damage from opening soda cans or any type of carbonated drink cans for that matter. Ever since I got tinnitus and hyperacusis from Neomycin 2 years ago, I've...

Hey Guys and Gals, So it seems I've developed some minor Athlete's foot. Normally I'd run down to the local pharmacy and pick up some type of cream, spray or powder BUT seeing as my tinnitus and hyperacusis started after a course of NEOMYCIN, I have since become very very careful on what I put...

So I recently started smoking again. Nothing major (2 or 3 cigarettes per week). Coincidentally, I've been noticing some elevation to my tinnitus pitch and "fullness" to one of my ears (I might have ETD or TTTS). Immediately after smoking, my fullness goes away and my tinnitus pitch reduces in...

Let’s talk about long drives. For context: I have tinnitus and hyperacusis and potentially ETD (Eustachian Tube Dysfunction). Ever since I got tinnitus and hyperacusis, I’ve been very careful to protect my ears from anything that might make things worse. One of the measures I’ve taken is to no...

Let’s talk about ETD (Eustachian Tube Dysfunction) and how it relates to tinnitus/hypercacusis. For context: I suffer from tinnitus and hyperacusis for 18 months now. However, I’ve recently been suffering from Eustachian Tube Disorder like symptoms. The Symptoms (Chronological Order as they...

For those of you that take Prednisone for acoustic trauma: Is Prednisone effective for incidents where you did not develop tinnitus and/or an increase in an already existing tinnitus tone, but you did however develop or worsen already existing hyperacusis? I recently had some back to back...

For those of us with ototoxic Induced tinnitus, we tend to be extra careful on what we put on and intake into our bodies. Has anyone ever had any spikes from certain types Mouthwash/Toothpastes? I did a bit of research and the Active ingredients in most Mouthwashes/Toothpaste is Sodium...

Is anyone familiar with any fire alarms that aren't so loud/damaging to hearingthat I can run at my place? I am trying to be proactive and prevent any unnecessary damage by replacing them with something a little less intrusive to our ears. Anyone?

As we know, a lot us take Prednisone for acoustic trauma. My tinnitus and hyperacusis started after I took Neomycin (a very ototoxic antibiotic). My question is the following: For those of us with ototoxic induced tinnitus, is it safe for us to take Prednisone for acoustic traumas? Are we...

When I touch the bottom part of my eye where it meets the eye socket, my TTTS is triggered. This only happens on one ear. Every time I touch that part of the eye, my inner ear twitches and I can feel it. It even makes a “wind sound”. Anyone? Literally anyone? Does anyone have an explanation for...

After hitting my earmuffs with a swinging water hose (coin car wash), I must ask the question. Can hitting our earmuffs with things cause more damage to our ears? Most of us here use earplugs as a form of protection. A lot of us also use earplugs. I've been using earmuffs for a good year now...

Since the last two months, maybe a bit longer, whenever I sneeze, my ears clog up. Similar to when you ride on airplanes. I then yawn and /or maneuver my jaw open and they unclog immediately. It first started happening with my right ear but is now happening to both. I avoid sneezing as much as...

I wanted to share something that keeps happening to my ear in response to various sound exposures: I have tinnitus in both Ears. Left ear is much worse than the right. The pitch is very prominent during the day. The pitch in the right ear can only be heard in the dead of night. I have...

About three weeks ago I dropped electrical hair clippers (was not using them at that moment) onto the tile floor causing a loud bang, followed by an immediate high frequency spike in the left ear. I went back to measure (using earplugs and ear muffs) the dB levels caused by the bang using a...

Before I dive into using ACT Total care with .05% of Sodium Fluoride and .02 w/v Fluoride ion, is there any connection or cause of concern with it worsening one's tinnitus? My tinnitus/hyperacusis started from the use of ototoxic antibiotic. Anyone?

Hi Guys and Gals, I have heard there can be connection between tinnitus/hyperacusis and vitamin levels. I suffer from a mild for of IBS so my vitamin absorption might be a bit low... perhaps? Anyways i am trying to cover my bases and get tested for vitamin deficiency. Does anyone know what...

I know hearing loss leads the pack in terms of research/funding/treatments (if you can call them that). I assume tinnitus comes second to hearing loss. Maybe leeching off some of the research from hearing loss (FX-322). My questions is: Where does hyperacusis currently stand in terms on going...

Hi guys, I have hyperacusis. It is severe in my left ear and moderate and mildish in my right here. My question is whether everyday sounds (under 75 dB), such as soda cans opening, doors closing, dishes clanking together, people laughing, bags of chips opening, can cause more damage? All...

Here we are again. Another spike. This time from dropping a hair clipper. I was not using them at the moment. I was merely handing them off to someone when they fell out of my hand and onto the tile floor causing a loud bang, followed by an immediate high frequency spike in the left ear. I take...
