I use the MDR 1000x nc headphones when commuting as well as other instances when loud sudden noises may occur. Not cheap by any means but the noise cancelling as well as audio quality on those is stellar and they look hella stylish too. Otherwise at bars, parties or loud restaurants i just use...

I know that they are used to relax your jaw and ease tension. I grind/press my teeth when i sleep and when I'm stressed. So that's how I got it. But stretching your jaw every now and then should be beneficial for everyone who is prone to stress/anxiety.

I posted it some months back in the positivity thread. But I'll repost it here. Hope it helps you as much as it helped me! 1. Jog with your jaw by moving it up, down and side to side for a couple of seconds. Your teeth should never touch when doing this. 2. Open your jaw as far as you can and...

Do you get jaw pains? Is the Tinnitus louder in the left ear? If you haven't already I'd try contacting a Jaw specialist of some kind. I've had TMJD for as long as I've had Tinnitus and Hyperacusis. And after i got to see a specialist who gave me a night guard as well as some stretching...

I use a Night guard, anti inflamatory medication and stretch a couple times a week. I posted my stretching routine on page 29 in this thread if you want to check it out. Helped me a ton:)

I'm just over 1 year into my tinnitus journey, and it has lowered itself steadily to about 25% of what it used to be. I can sit in a dead silent room without thinking much of it, and my H has also dropped significally after I started working on improving my tmjd symptoms. For the first time in...

I flew for the first time since my onset last week. No worsening of my symptoms whatsoever! :) My H was actually lowered for a couple days post flying (weirdly). :D

Usually ear pain (at least for me). Imagine the kind of discomfort you feel when you accidentally turn up your headphones to max volume, but from "normal level sounds". However, this doesn't account for all sufferers. There are people experiencing a wide range of symptoms due to hyperacusis...

T is tinnitus while H is short for hyperacusis. Or in other words, sensitivity to certain frequencies and decibel levels that normal hearing people don't react to. The loudness discomfort level (LDL) for a person without hyperacusis is usally between 100-120db give or take 10db, I don't have the...

Hey everyone! The weirdest thing happened a couple hours ago which I can't seem to find any logic in whatsoever. I was at my girlfriends place, waiting for her to come home. I was walking through the hallway, when all of a sudden the doorbell went off when i was maybe 0,5m from the sound source...

Thanks for your answer Luke! I'm glad to say that the new tone was gone upon waking up this morning. :) I really need to stop worrying about these spikes/temporary worsenings of symptoms. They really do still get to me even after 5 months. I wish you a further good week ;)

Hey. A couple weeks ago I posted about having weird sharp pains in my left ear which went up and down, but where always there to some degree. The pain has now gone away thankfully. But today in class, something weird happened. I was working on a project with a classmate, not even noticing my...

I wish you the best of luck with your studies (and life) as well. :) Don't worry, it only goes uppwards from 1 month in. I bet you will barely be affected by it in 3 months ;)

What ultimately worked for me in terms of study methods were the most simple things. Due to my TMJD I suffer a lot the following day if I don't get at least 7-8 hours of sleep. So the first thing i had to work out was planning everything in advance, and doing things little by little rather than...

I've had huge problems concentrating in school this semester because of my T, H and Tmjd I got at the end of July this year. But after much trial and error I have found a study method that works just as good as the one i used before the onset :) . One of my biggest fears when all this started...

I'm going to see my ENT either tomorrow or on monday t0 make sure it in fact isn't an ear infection. I do not use earplugs a lot. I did use them for one hour on new years eve, and i also tend to use them in VERY loud restaurants and clearly loud 80+db places. The cause of my tmjd is bruxism...

My T (and H) is most probably from tmjd yes. The pain is kind of a sharp piercing pain. The middle ear also feels hot. I experience all those factors you listed to some degree. But it is mostly high frequenzy sounds that tend to torment me the most

Hey everyone. I've hade T, H and tmjd for a bit over 4 months now. I've slowly started to learn to live with it, and my symptoms have overal started to get less noticeable since a couple weeks back which is great. However, the last couple days I have had constant, very noticeable pains in my...

I also have tmjd. And I indeed noticed a gradual improvement after starting to use my nightguard more often and doing stretching excersises. The speed of improvement is gradually getting slower and slower, and i still have times where my T and H are through the roof when my jaw is hurting like...

Maybe you should consider getting a good pair of noise cancelling headhphones? In that case you won't have to worry about turning up the volume to drown out outside noise on the airplane. They are not cheap, but after trying on a pair of my friends qc35 wireless i couldn't believe my ears. I'm...

Alright, so this is my streching scheme that i do two times a day, i also wear a night guard daytime as well as nighttime when doing things that makes me tense my jaw. Each exercise should be done 6 times in sequence before moving on to the next one: 1. Jog with your jaw by moving it up, down...

Mine started in july this year. I was laying in bed and heard a low screeching sound and then i tried to really focus on it to hear it better (for some dumb reason) which resulted in it becoming 10 times higher and me panicing. I fell asleep that night with the help of white noise, and woke up...

I'm very sorry to hear about your struggling. But honestly, i don't think that anyone here will be able to give you an exact answer on what you should do to get better. And the truth of it is, these type of problems with sudden hearingloss should be taken very seriously, and I urge you to go see...

Ofcourse you should go! I bet you'll have a blast. :) Just be sure to wear earplugs if you find the volume in a certain area loud and download a decibel meter on your phone to know what areas exceed 85db and what areas are safe. Ofcourse there is no guarantee your tinnitus will not rise. But i'd...

I started doing jaw excercies i got from a jaw physiologist i see due to my tmd about 2 week ago. And the last couple of days, my T has started to steadily drop in volume little by little. I have pretty strong spikes just after streching, but after it settles about 1-2 hours in it's fantastic to...

I forgot to write yesterday, so here comes my delayed update :) : Overal I'd say it went pretty good judging from circumstances. I arrived at the club with my friends around 23:00. As we waited to be let in I became super nervous and really started concidering going home instead, but instead of...

A bit of an update: Tonight is the night i'm going out clubbing. My friend who knows the manager told me that the vip area (The area i will spend most of the time in) Will be substantially more quiet than the actuall dancefloor, to the point where normal conversation shouldn't be an issue, which...

Damn, all your horror stories are really making me reconcider. I have actually been to a Concert after the onset. Didn't notice any type of worsening in my symptoms, but i was super carefull. Stood in the far back, had earplugs inserted deep in both ears and the volume never exceeded 95db...

I have H in both ears. T is in both ears most of the time. But sometimes (Maybe twice or thrice a month) it disapears completely for about 30 min. Often it is so quiet i can't even hear it, but when my jaw tenses up more than usual the ringing is MUCH louder as well as a false screeching tone...

Thanks everyone for your tips. I'll definentally check out the ones you linked @lolkas. They look very discrete, and also looks to be the type of ones that usually fits my ears the best judging from former in ear headphones i've owned. I'll be as cautious as i possibly can and take breaks AT...

Hey people! about 4 months ago i got tinnitus as well as hyperacusis which both are ranging between very mild and more moderate from day to day. I have actively avoided going to concerts, clubbing, etc. Since the onset in fear of worsening my symptoms. But one week from now, one of my friends...

Thanks for the support @stophiss. Really made me feel more possitive regarding my situation :). Regarding your question @Michael Leigh , i have only ever experienced ringing after exposure to loud noise 1 time before the onset that i can recall. It was after a music festival in june i went to...

Hey people. I've had the listed symptoms for about 3,5 months. Everything came seemingly out of nowhere one night when laying in bed. I had not been exposed to loud noise in days. I have formerly been pretty carefull with my ears because of a former phobia of well, developing tinnitus . (Ironic...
