So I've been reading these forums for a bit now and it seems like the concept of not using headphones even at low volumes has been brought up many times. I've also read that hearing aids deliver sound in a different way that's safer for your ears. I think there's a major point that needs to be...

I normally experience my tinnitus as centralized and even sort of slightly towards my left side. However, when I hold my right ear closed (by pushing the tragus over the hole) it sounds like the high pitching ringing is coming from within my right ear. When I hold my left ear closed and pay...

I got diagnosed with a fungal infection by my ENT today. She said that microsuction will have to be used to fully clean everything out in combination with Clotrimazole drops. I told her about the many reports on here of microsuction making tinnitus worse or starting tinnitus in the first place...

Hi. I a bit confused about wind noise, the occlusion effect, and bone conduction. I'm a mountain biker and went on a short ride on a very easy trail last week for the first time since my tinnitus started. I have a Giro Switchblade full face helmet and taped up some holes in the ear area to...

Hi, my worst fear might be coming true. I just went to a dentist today and had x-rays done. He said that there's a cavity under an old cavity filling that needs a crown. The tooth is the upper rear tooth on my right. The right side is where my ringing ear is. I'm going in for a second opinion...

This is an odd symptom I used to get rarely only about once a month for the last 3-4 years. It's related to tinnitus because it has increased in frequency since my tinnitus started from ear syringing. I also have hyperacusis (no pain). It has many characteristics that I've been very familiar...

I listened to the Tinnitus Talk Podcast on hyperacusis where this subject was addressed. A takeaway was to slightly prioritize protection to avoid major setbacks. There isn't enough elaboration on what specifically to protect against. I fully empathize with the idea that every person's...

I've been taking Allegra on a daily basis since October 2019. In May-June 2020, I switched over to Zyrtec briefly but then went back to Allegra after the bottle was done. For those who've had success in getting rid of tinnitus after stopping their ototoxic medications, how long did it take to...

I've been reading this forum for the last 3 weeks and I realize my tinnitus is low. It's the 'I can hear it in quiet rooms' type. Mines is also the type that fluctuates constantly and is very relative to stress and sleepiness. If I hold my right ear closed, I can hear the high pitched sound...
