    Really Struggling :(

    Hey, like you I used ear protectors for everything, even turning on the tap! But I learnt after a long year that it was only making things worse. I still use protection in clubs and places where necessary. Mine started after an ear cleaning and I freaked out, developing a fear of sounds. I...

    Popping ear when laying on side?

    Nah haven't been swimming. My nose has been stuffy lately, so I now think it's caused by that. I have mild hyperacusis, I think I might have caused that by fearing sound. I haven't skated in a long time! Do you?

    Popping ear when laying on side?

    when I lay on my right side, my ear pops and whooshes. It worsens when I'm laying and talking. I sometimes but rarely get it in the other ear too. could this be related to the muscle inside the ear?

    Ear Plugs in the Shower

    Hey Because of my T and me not wanting it to worsen, I went through a crazy phase where I would protect my ears from everyday sounds, including the shower. What it did was make my ears worse! Something inside my right ear now tenses up in anticipation to loud sounds and lets out an annoying...

    Loud Noises Make a Quick Whooshing Sound in One Ear

    The same thing happens sometimes when I talk too, the WHOOSH at the end of my sentence. I mentioned it to my ENT doctors, one ignored it completely and another said "it can't be explained"

    Loud Noises Make a Quick Whooshing Sound in One Ear

    With more sleep is it better throughout the whole day? Mine is very low when I wake up, but it goes back up to normal levels after an hour or so.

    Loud Noises Make a Quick Whooshing Sound in One Ear

    It started around the same time my tinnitus started (6month ago). Not long after an ear cleaning at the ENT doctor. It happens much more when I'm thinking about it. I have a lot of anxiety going on too. Did yours begin with your T?

    Loud Noises Make a Quick Whooshing Sound in One Ear

    Does anybody else have this? I've tried searching but couldn't find anything and was wondering if it was linked to T. The sound is feels wind coming/whoosing out of the ear. It only lasts a split second. If I press onto the tragus (the small flap thing near the opening of the ear) and let go...

    When Everyday Sound Becomes Torture

    I read this a few weeks ago (buzzfeed article) and haven't been the same since. I was so afraid that I started to overuse ear protectors and went a little crazy!

    Post Your Favorite Songs

    I wish I could listen! In Utero is my fave Nirvana album and the first Nirvana album I listened to. I remember listening to it for the first time and was blown away by Scentless Apprentice!

    Should Tinnitus Sufferers Worry About Paracetamol/Ibuprofen/Codeine?

    I know ibuprofen can cause/worsen tinnitus, but can it cause long term tinnitus/damage? I have an ear infection right now and was just wondering if it would be safe to take one.
