    Repeated Bilateral Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation over Auditory Cortex for Tinnitus

    I've come across this trial for tDCS, and the results look promising. I'll admit I don't have a ton of knowledge about tDCS, but this trial found statistically significant results in lowered THI score, as well as distress and loudness VAS. It also included a placebo group and the results of the...

    TTTS Pain/Noxacusis from Tympanometry

    Hi all, I've hesitated posting as I have been trying to avoid catastrophizing but I'm a bit at a loss. For background, I had an acoustic shock in Jan 2022 that resulted in tinnitus in my left ear, now bilateral with my right ear joining in a few months later. Both my ears have felt full and...

    Does Extended Audiogram Show Hyperacusis?

    I went to an audiologist who specializes in tinnitus this past week. She did an extended audiogram and matched my tinnitus tone. It isn't a perfect match as I have multiple tones. My main tone is around 12,000 Hz. The surprising thing to me was I have no hearing loss up to 20,000 Hz. It was at 0...

    Preparing for Second ENT Appointment — Clogged Ears

    I've had tinnitus from an acoustic trauma (in left ear, right ear cause unknown) for 9 months. I went to the ENT and audiologist about a week after onset and they told me my ears/hearing is fine, I'm just a stressed new mom and to try lipoflavinoids. No steroids or anything offered. At that time...

    I recently got a new job and have to go on a flight for a work trip next month. I've had tinnitus and clogged ears/fullness for almost 7 months from a one-time acoustic trauma. I know I'll need airplane earplugs/earmuffs, but I am very worried about my clogged ears and the pressure. I can...

    Recovery from Acoustic Shock? Looking for Success Stories

    Hello all. Just wondering if anyone has ever recovered or greatly improved from acoustic shock? I see a lot about acoustic trauma but not acoustic shock, specifically a sudden, unexpected loud noise. I'm 5 months in with multitonal intrusive tinnitus in both ears, 24/7 ear fullness. On my...

    Tinnitus Spike from Husband Yelling or Stress?

    Hello all. Just wanted to know your opinions on my most recent spike in tinnitus. I had been doing better for a month where I was able to cope with my tinnitus better. I also felt like it faded a bit more into a hiss than a ring (although it still rang most of the time when I wore earplugs)...

    Fainted and Hit Head — Will Tinnitus Get Worse?

    Hi all, so I've been struggling with my tinnitus I acquired 3.5 months ago from acoustic trauma. Well this morning I woke up feeling super nauseous, ended up vomiting a little then went back to bed. I suspected my blood pressure and I did take it and it was low. Anyway, I was feeling better...

    Does Ear Fullness = Hearing Loss?

    Hi everyone! I have been dealing with tinnitus, hyperacusis and ear fullness 24/7 since my acoustic trauma 3.5 months ago. The ear fullness doesn't bother me as much as the tinnitus & hyperacusis at the moment, but I have seen it mentioned that ear fullness is usually due to hearing loss. Is...

    Tinnitus from Baby Screaming in Ear, Possibly Made Worse by Dental Work and Stress

    Hello everyone! I have been lurking here for awhile but decided I need support. Sorry this is so long, the issue is kind of complicated but I want to just introduce myself and tell my story. Tl;dr at the end. My story: I'm 27 and developed tinnitus and I believe hyperacusis about 3.5 months...
