I have an airplane ride in a few days, and I was wondering if you guys would choose foam earplugs or pressure-regulating flying earplugs under your earmuffs. The flying earplugs don’t block out noise, but they reduce the risk of barotrauma. I have heard that foam earplugs would make it harder...

I have a cut inside my left ear as shown from the picture using an otoscope. It is itchy. I most likely got it from using Q-Tips too hard to relieve the previous itch in my ear. What are the chances of this becoming infected, causing other issues, or worsening tinnitus? What precautions should...

I’ve been having pain with my wisdom teeth which are impacted (the bottom ones need drilling to remove) but I would not like to risk the possible worsening from a noisy drill removal as nothing is worth risking worsening my tinnitus for me. I was reading posts on here made by people having the...

It literally feels like my auditory system is going haywire because I'm getting new tones every few hours or so. I keep waking up and going to sleep with new sounds, pitches, volumes, etc. Yesterday I woke up with a new morse code tone in my right ear (I used to not have tinnitus in this ear)...

A few days ago I started getting sudden intense vertigo and a spinning sensation. Tinnitus also started. The vertigo has gone down so far but the tinnitus has been becoming worse. I got an appointment to see an ENT but I will have to wait until next Monday. I am afraid if I wait a week it will...
