Ok, I’m hoping there are a few more geeks like me lurking around the forum. This is just a place to post interesting projects and design ideas. So I’m particularly interested in the built environment, and more specifically sustainable design. I follow a channel called Fair Companies which...

I have had intense aural fullness for almost a year and I’m losing hope. Most accounts I read say that their ear fullness was only an issue early on, and resolved relatively quickly - within a few of months. Have any members had fullness for over a year and improved? Did you find anything that...

Hello everyone, 2 days ago I was sitting minding my own business when suddenly I heard a pop in my right ear (the one where I experience intense pressure). For about 5 minutes anytime I moved my jaw, pressed behind my ear, or moved my head to the left, my ear would make this crackling sound...

Hello everyone, I've been pondering learning another language for years, but since I am dyslexic, languages do not come easy. Recently I read that BSL (British Sign Language) is easier for folks like me to learn, and have decided that since I have lost some of my hearing, it might be a good...

Hi Guys, I just went to Boots to get fitted for ACS Custom earplugs. They said due to the pressure in my right ear that they couldn’t fit them. However, since I was there, they said that they would do a hearing test. I had my hearing tested in July 2021 and my hearing was within normal ranges...

Hi everyone, I’m just over 6 months in. I am now able to deal with my tinnitus a bit better, and have mastered the art of sleeping which has been great. Obviously I’ve read a lot of posts on the forum, with many referring to spikes. I’m just wondering if it is abnormal to not experience...

APS - thick blood - can lead to tinnitus which may be reduced by blood thinners. The condition is picked up by a simple blood test. I was thinking that this may be the reason some people’s tinnitus decreases with alcohol. Anyone else got APS? Did blood thinners help?

Hi Guys, I’ve had pulsatile tinnitus for about 4 months and would like to see if anyone shares similar symptoms and has received a diagnosis. I am in the UK and the waiting lists are absolutely terrible at the moment. When I wake up in the morning I have minimal pulsatile tinnitus until I...

I hear a different high pitched squealing noise in certain areas of my house and in certain shops. When I walk away from these areas the noise disappears. I know there are a few similar posts but usually it is when the person is around a PC or other electronic equipment. The noise I’m hearing...

Hi Guys, So, I am now 3 months in and have joined the chronic tinnitus club. The high pitched noise is slightly better as I can ignore it more easily. Just the pulsate tinnitus and pressure in my right ear that’s getting by me down these days but hopefully I’ll begin adapting to those as well...

Ok so thought I would post a ‘success story’. I know there is a bit of debate as to whether habituation is classified a success, but for me, I would be happy if my condition did not worsen over 25 years and I got to a point where it no longer bothered me most of the time. I am only 2 months...

Hi Guys, Guess I’ll start with the basics. I’m a 29 year old female who has been suffering from ongoing and sporadic joint/nerve pain for the past 2 years. Apart from this, I would consider myself heathy, within the normal weight range and enjoy physical activity when my body allows. I have...
