Hello, Today I went to a tinnitus clinic in a faraway city. Six hours of driving round-trip. There, they did a ultra high frequency extended audiogram that went all the way to 20 kHz. At some point around 18 kHz - 20 kHz (not sure which frequency exactly), the one or two second tone the...

Hello again, Despite having had a CT scan already show nothing, and then having a MRI scan show nothing, my parents requested my doctor to order me 2 more CT scans again this time with contrast. They are convinced that the scan will show the problem with my ear and then the doctor will be able...

Hello, Today I was wearing my ear muffs / ear defenders and stretched them to take them off but when the left ear cup was stretched maybe 4-5 inches away from my ear I accidentally let it slip and it went fast and slammed/smacked my left ear. These are really tight peltor earmuffs so it smacked...

Hello, I'm not sure what to do now after an earplug got stuck in my left ear. My left ear canal is very small so, after taking a shower, when I tried to remove the earplug in my ear, it took me five minutes of fighting with it and continuously mushing it just to pry it out. I saw some dried...

Hello All, Sadly I got extremely upset as my parents were making a ton of noise intentionally out of anger towards me and causing me lots of pain and a huge tinnitus spike. As a result I started yelling and wailing and crying for an hour nonstop and got into a huge argument with my parents...

It seems like I have developed hyperacusis to sounds with very low frequencies (which are effectively just vibrations). Every footstep I take it feels to me like the room is shaking (my vision perceives the room as shaking but I don't think it actually does). Vibrations from cars are massively...

Hi All, I just want to preface this by saying that sometimes I notice I get temporary pulsatile tinnitus (sounds like a whooshing sound in sync with my heartbeat) for a minute or two and then it fades. I have normal tinnitus that is much louder I guess. But what I am curious about is if I...

Everytime I use foam earplugs I insert them very deeply. I leave maybe 15% of the plug, so like 3 mm or 4 mm, out of the ear canal so I have something to touch when I take them out. The problem is I always make a ton of noise when I try and remove them. If I try and pinch the end to grab them...

I am frustrated with dealing with hyperacusis. I think it has been a month and a half now. Everytime I get extremely upset and stop eating my parents force me to go with them to urgent care where I get bombarded with door slams and loud metal clanks and the doctors can't do shit for me so they...

Hello Everyone, For the past week, everytime I swallow anything, be it water or food or milk, my ears either make loud cracking/crackling sound, or they both pop and this is quite a rough and loud pop as well. I am concerned this is damaging my ears and potentially my hearing due to the...

Hello, Just wanted to introduce myself onto the forums. I had the 2nd dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and immediately developed tinnitus in both ears. The volume was an initial hiss of 3/10 severity. As the days went on, I also got an external ear infection, had to clear the wax from my...
