It was I don’t have any other skills because it’s so unique I have to start again. Yeah still have it not as bad. But things got a lot worse before they got better. Every now and then now. Nope still job hunting. Been just over 6 months since my injury. And now I have a new noise in that ear a...

Hey, that’s no good. Has it settled? My T has improved but I have good and bad days. My TTTS symptoms have subsided but still come on every now and then. I’m dealing with it all better but still have down days. Nope I have had to leave my job. Think it’s for the best.

I went and saw an amazing audiologist on Monday. Myriam westcott. She was the first specialist who understood what I was going through, listened and gave me great advise.

I'm going to try and use this experience. To not take things so serious and enjoy myself. As I'm sure you have already read stress is a major player in T. Going to Set some challenging short and long term goals.

Nope it should subside as long as I get on top of it and start getting more positive about the T. It's funny because I have been more positive and no letting it get to me but symtoms keep evolving. Ive learnt so much about the body and the brain. And how much control we don't have.

I have also been diagnosed with TTTS...

You had this at all? Because of this I'm not sure whether to go on my overseas trip I have planned in regards to the long haul flight from Australia. I'm worried about this and doing more damage. How are you? How's your ears?

Yeah pretty good. Definitely subsided and havent had a spike in about a week and a half. It's not bothering near as much anymore...coming to terms with it. Just white static noise in quiet rooms. Still getting pain and aching. Im also very sensitive to pressure changes. Just driving and going up...

Yeah a few seconds maybe 8 times over the last 2 years.

Do you know much about steroids for hyperacusis? I know it has to be within 72 hours of onset. But would it work for someone who has the slow onset of it? What symptoms are you getting of hyperacusis? I've had ear burning and some Tingling on my face lately. Symptoms are always evolving. Very...

Nope was exposure in a helicopter. I was as rescue crew in helicopters. I was wearing protection but my headset slipped off quite a few times letting noise (approx 110db) as I was moving around the cabin. Wasn't even for that long to cause damage. But it must have been long enough for me! Would...

I was told I have a hypersensitivity to noise. That's why I have T with no or minimal hearing loss. I was told by another that is could be TMJ. So was on soft foods and heat packs for 1 month. Even though I was convinced it was noise exposure.

Just curious because I was told that may be the cause my of my T. But all fluid is gone obviously and still have T. Have you seen a whole bunch of specialists as well? Really opened my eyes. Couldn't believe how some drs treat people with this condition.

Good to hear. My hyperacusis seems to come and go. But I often have the feeling of pressure in my ears and eardrum feels tight. I also sometimes wake up night with pain and my eardrum moving and fluttering. Sorry to hear you're going through a spike. Did the DR explain to you why you had fluid...

Ok definitely have hyperacusis. Happened to me yesterday pretty bad. Do you know what the treatment is for that? Do you have it in one ear or both?

I think so. I get some pain with noise every now and then, headaches and some dizziness. Was really bad at the start but has improved significantly. How loud is yours? Are you hearing high pitched cricket sounds? I find them the most annoying.

I hope it only gets better for you!

I'm taking a whole bunch of vitamins as well sceptical whether they're a waste of time as well. But I'm up for anything that could possibly help. Even if it's a bit of a placebo. I work in aviation. So I'm having to rethink my whole career and life at this point. Adding to the stress of everything.

Thanks Sven. You're right. Have to keep telling myself that. I'm hearing about 5 different noises. Usually a few a once. Had a hearing test today. Have above average hearing, go figure. So all specialists and audiologists are scratching their heads. Have you had your hearing tested?

Mine almost worse during the day? Was yours the same? What sounds did you hear? Would love to keep in touch. Can you tell me what measures you took to improve yours?

It was uncanny reading your story at how alike my symptoms were! Been really tough. Hopefully mine will do the same. So happy for you! Im going on 7 weeks now. Been some improvement the last couple of week. Was yours going up and down a lot? How long ago was your exposure? Made a mistake today...
