    Did You Have a Feeling of Stiffness and Fullness of the Ear, After a Loud Event?

    From what I understand the feeling of aural fullness after noise trauma is due to an abnormal build up of fluid in the inner ear. I forget where I read this or heard this so I'm open to someone telling me off. Inner ear fullness can remarkably feel exactly like middle ear fullness, so it's quite...

    Ear Fullness... Help Me

    As someone with awful on and off ETD, TMJ, tinnitus, and hyperacusis, it'll probably go away. Even an atrocious noise insult to me that leaves me with searing, burning ear pain and shocking aural fullness goes away eventually. Just stay in silence for a bit and be glad you're not in too much...

    I really feel for you... All of my troubles began due to a brutally aggressive, unnecessary ear irrigation. I just remind myself it wasn't my fault, I was just looking after my own health, and really it was the physician's fault to not denote wax wasn't the issue but clogged tubes and maybe a...

    Hyperacusis Recovering Process

    Hyperacusis is an unpredictable, shape-shifting beast that seems to be different for everyone. Granted my experience is limited as I've only had this life-destroying condition for about three months, but my main recommendation would be honestly and ironically to play it by ear. Whatever works...

    The Levo System is that thing you listen to when you sleep, right? I wonder if there's some truth to it considering my tonal tinnitus vanishes for a bit when I hear a 4khz tone. :confused: I'm too scared to even think about trying it though with my hyperacusis.

    Also I'll say it again, phone DB meters are trash and give a false sense of security. Buy a real one. Phone microphones are very limited and not accurate at picking up high levels of sound. It's how I got hurt this time around. :( Was in an environment that read as 87 db but absolutely was not.

    I wish I could say well but I'm really not. Seems I traded my mild hyperacusis for something far worse. My whole experience the last two months has made pinning down causes very difficult. My ear syringing pretty much definitely caused my initial noise-related hearing loss, but my valsalva the...

    I don't understand why most audiograms stay frozen at 8khz. Hospital near me does up to 16khz, there's no real excuse aside from a lack of funding to not go up that far, but even then a test going up to 16khz is so much more valuable. Anyway here's the dino tax and my reaction to 8khz-only...

    What Helps You Guys with Your Sound Sensitivity?

    It's no problem bud, I really hope you recover. I'd also recommend from now on just taking on a new mindset of not caring what other people think about you.

    What Helps You Guys with Your Sound Sensitivity?

    Honestly? Silence. A lot of silence, plugs all the time indoors; muffs outdoors, and then being very cautious when you get back to a comfortable baseline. For me at least, it can take one sound to make a dent in my progress. It's awful, but it's the way my bootleg ears work.

    Fullness in Ear and Sensitive to Noise — Do I Have Hyperacusis?

    Hyperacusis is a deep inner ear pain or and/or ache in reaction to certain frequencies, sometimes it even lingers afterward. In my opinion, just plain aural fullness isn't necessarily hyperacusis, it's a symptom of many issues. Do you have any pain? Spasms in reaction to sound? If you don't...
