I'm on my 12th month...seems it has become a lasting spike...

Ok. Let me add a thing to that. If person A can hear his favorite music at 60 dB without problems and person B needs to amplify the 8000 hz to 85 dB to be able to percieve all frequencies equal to person A, is that potentially dangerous?

Let's say that a patient by the name Bob has a hearing loss at a certain frequency, in this case let's make that 8000 Hz. Bob generally has all frequencies intact within the normal range 0 to -20 dB besides from the one at 8000 Hz which is at -35 dB. Bob is about to try Acoustic Reset...

So today I had two appointments with two different ENT's. The first ENT is someone I don't have alot of confidence in, but he was the one with the quickest available appointment. But I was so lucky to get a cancellation appointment with a very skilled ENT also - So I chose to go with both...

Hey Just saw that you had T from fluid in the ear. Did the fluid dissolve on it's own?

I’m so glad that you are better! Unfortunately we don’t have Sudafed in Denmark. So my GP put me on Avamys to try while waiting for the ENT appointment. Sometimes I feel the fluid moving and tickling, I don’t know if thats a good sign. I also do Vasalva, steam and hot baths. Nothing has...

Did you feel the fluid suddenly disapper? Did you do anything else than taking Sudafed?

If you ever had fluid in the middle ear, how long did it take to dissolve?

So my GP just confirmed fluid in the middle ear on both sides and prescribed me Avamys. Will this actually potentially help? And I have an appointment with an ENT in 8 days.

Is it safe to use a otovent ballon? Because I could just buy it the pharmacy.

Thank you all. Very kind of you. I'll follow the advice. What about the possible fluid? Does anyone have any experience with that?

I called two ENTs. They don't count it as an acute situation since I don't experience pain or fever. The nearest appointment I could get was the 12th of january. I even just called the emergency clinic who said the same. I do however have an appointment with my GP tomorrow.

I'm really desperate for some advice... I can't live with this for much longer. It's straight out torture...

Hello all, I need some advice. So my girlfriend just had the sinus infection and I had to drive her to the emergency clinic two times because she vomitted from all the mucous. It really was bad but I didn't seem to catch it myself. However, as she more or less recovered I began to get a bit...

I have actually been experimenting a lot with this, but i've been unsure of how important it is to be able to hear the end of the notch. At Audionotch.com it says something about what is allowed for the therapy to work: "Maximum hearing loss ranged from 10 - 100 dB, with an average max...

Hello, I have a question about the notch that applies to notched music therapy/notched white noise therapy. A person has a tinnitus frequency at 13000 hz. He makes a notch between 12000 and 14000 hz. However, this person has an age-related hearing loss at frequencies above 14000 hz. Probably...

Hello, My tinnitus is around 12400 Hz. I'm playing around with Notched White Noise Therapy and have a question. My Notch is between 8794 Hz and 17588 Hz, but I have some age-related hearing loss beyond 14000 Hz so will this technique still work?

For how long is one supposed to listen to Binaural beats? I know that with ACRN it's 4-6 hours, but the binaural beats is around 20 mins, right? Or?

Ah I see. So perhaps I am better off listening to a file with Alpha waves?

Thanks! So do I add them and merge them in the order: 4 Hz, 6 Hz and lastly 8 Hz or should I blend them all to play at the same time?

Does anyone know of a good source of an audio file with Binaural Beats that operates with theta waves? I can find some alleged theta wave files on YouTube, but I have no proof of whether or not they are legit. Would very much like to be sure of the content of the audio so I'm not listening...

I can't seem to change every individual frequency on http://www.generalfuzz.net/acrn/ I can't hear anything above 13.800hz, but my T is around 12.500hz. So when I set it for 12.500hz then the last tone is at 17.400hz. In this case I would like the last tone to be one I can hear. Can anyone...

Cool. Thanks :-)

Ok. What about using headphones when doing Acoustic Neuromodulation? Would you still consider that dangerous?

Hello all, We all know that headphones is not the best option when listening to music or movies and such. However, does the headphones still pose a threat when using them for meditation and/or nature sounds?

Hi Horizon! What did the TMJ orthodontist do?

Hello all, So I just had a night in hell. I had an important appointment today at the hospital for a check up after my cancer operation two years ago, but last night when I got ready for bed I could feel the anxiety coming and eventually I had anxiety attacks. I had a total lack of accept of my...

Hi Sam, My previous T was silence because I absolutely 100 % habituated to it. For me, that was silence. And of course, the T was mild.

Hi Raphael7713, Thanks for your reply. I can see we got our T almost simultaneously. My new T started 19th of january. I bet you miss 2016 like me :-) Hows your own proces going?

Is silence bad for habituation? Sound enrichment is advised for sleeping and sometimes also during the day. This should aid habituation. But if one habituates, then what happens if he/she enters a silent environment? I'm thinking a lot about silence these days. I have a difficult time...

Thank you! I do use sound erichment at night now, and it has changed my sleeping pattern to the better. I like it very much and my girlfriend luckily also like it. I use both a bedside masker under the pillow and a normal bluetooth speaker with same sound. I hope it aids habituation.

Thank you very much for your inputs. Much appreciated! Nice to also get some uplifting comments. @Michael: Here's an explanation and story behind the spike: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/6-months-update-spike-%E2%80%94-some-thoughts.22589/ I really don't think spike is due to exposure...

Hello all, My original tinnitus which i had for 10 years was mild, and I never had to mask it or use sound enrichment of any sort. I almost never gave the tinnitus any thought and it wasn't a problem to be in a quiet environment plus sleeping was all good. My - seemingly permanent - spike from...

Hello all, I think it's time for an update. Be prepared for a long post(!) First, let me in advance apologize for the lack of a perfect english grammar. English is not my main spoken language. In January this year I wrote a post in here. I initially got Tinnitus in 2006 after I got assaulted...

When I test with my iPhone 6 Plus I have mild hearing loss. If, however, I test with my iPad, I have the hearing of a 18 year old. I believe none of them since I already know my real audiogram from the ENT. I have normal hearing for my age (35). So don't take the results too serious.

Thanks to the both of you. I was never aware of the fact that dental work could affect our T... This is something that has made me wonder if I should go on with the last 2 implants. Big decision for me now.

Hello there, I made a thread some weeks ago regarding a spike that happened one night in january. I've had T for 10 years and this is the first time I've ever experienced this kind of spike. My T is caused by a broken ear drum. Back in January I had a rough time. First I had a cold, then 3...

Hello everyone, When I first got T 10 years ago, music listening was a huge factor in my habituation and I love to listen to music (through normal speakers - not headphones). I have nearly always listened to music on safe levels (my T is not directly noise induced). I recently got a spike that...

Thank you for all your contributions. I really appreciate that! I'll keep you updated on the progress. Yesterday I had many hours where the spike was lower. That really gave me hope. Today it is back at the spike again though. I actually already am in treatment. For many years I have been...

Hello all, This is kinda a long post, please forgive me for that. So here is another new member of the board. Although I always said to myself, that I shouldn't use such a board (because of the habit of focusing more on the problem) I am now in a position, where I really could use some support...
