    Link Between High Psychological Tension, Tensor Tympani Muscle, Hyperacusis and Tinnitus

    I don't agree with this. I certainly believe and experience a lower threshold for what causes my middle ear muscles to contract as a result of whatever damage happened to this ear. It doesn't have to be a particular value.

    Increased Internal Sounds from Neck Brought on by Anxiety

    For me, sometimes anticipatory anxiety or anxiety caused by a distressing event causes a feeling of increased head pressure which tends to lead to fullness in the ear with other symptoms. There is autophony, which consists of hearing my voice within my head, some thumping in the ear...

    Link Between High Psychological Tension, Tensor Tympani Muscle, Hyperacusis and Tinnitus

    Interested that I've found people who have the same symptoms as me. I've had all imaging, and there's no diagnosis. I want to get my ME muscles lasered away but how do I know it will solve it? The best in the UK has confirmed no microcompression. So what else could it be other than those damn...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Hopefully the fluid lasting there for all those days allows the healing properties to disburse fully where needed. I wonder if he could use a gel in the future as a way to improve patient experience as in this study. It would help the annoying sloshing problem: Role of Platelet Rich Plasma in...

    Hyperacusis and Tinnitus + MEM (Middle Ear Myoclonus)?

    Sounds like me, overreactive middle ear muscles. I suppose the cure would be tenotomy of these muscles --- if we are not prepared to wait for the never ending search for hearing regeneration or a cure for the nerve overactivity/damage. My MEM even rumbles when I scratch my head. I get pulsatile...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Is that the treatment fluid or mucus due to Eustachian tube problems before the treatment? My question was about your ear issues before starting treatment, if that makes sense. I think I saw a post of yours where you said you had middle ear exploration and that damaged your eardrum but I...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    You may have missed this post in the other thread but would appreciate a response to this: "Good luck. Do you have any middle ear issues? Like pain, fullness, change in hearing, internal sounds etc? Would be interested to see if the PRP can have local healing to middle ear muscles, eardrum...

    MRI/MRA of Brain, Skull Base, and Neck — Can You Figure Out My Diagnosis?

    It's the only thing that can cause mine after various experts have ruled out anything else. The thing is, the only solution for me would be removal of the thyroid lobe without guarantee of cure. So I'm waiting for hearing medication for another 2 years. If there is nothing, I will take the...

    Stem Cell Clinics for Treating Tinnitus?

    Good luck. Do you have any middle ear issues? Like pain, fullness, change in hearing, internal sounds etc? Would be interested to see if the PRP can have local healing to middle ear muscles, eardrum, and local mucosa.

    MRI/MRA of Brain, Skull Base, and Neck — Can You Figure Out My Diagnosis?

    I cannot offer much but have your thyroid looked at for nodules or a goitre. I have pulsatile tinnitus like you, and the throat click. I have a goitre with normal thyroid labs. They discovered a carotid bruit but wouldn't tell me if that was the cause of my pulsatile tinnitus. What's next for...

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    What do you guys think about this being good for middle ear myoclonus issues? I have involuntarily rumbling of middle ear muscles from sounds, some internal sound autophony (not SCDS), TMJ nerve pain, single-sided facial nerve twitches around my ear and temple, and ear fullness. It's as if the...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Gone After Tenotomy of Middle Ear Muscles

    Hi, Just wanted to say how revolutionary your work is. People never mention the middle ear as a cause of pulsatile tinnitus despite researching this for years in the past. Interesting that you recommended him as I was referred to Addenbrookes Cambridge. I looked at him in the eye while in the...

    Placing a Membrane on the Eardrum to Treat TTTS — Does Anyone Have Experience with It?

    First of all congrats on relieving some ear issues. I don't think it was time. Here I am 10 years later with the same pressure and reactivity.

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Gone After Tenotomy of Middle Ear Muscles

    Wow congrats on solving at least one of your ear issues. This is probably a hugely overlooked cause. I even asked the leading UK ENT for pulsatile tinnitus if this was the cause and he went silent. Worrying! I have the same, if I have a bad night's sleep with lots of dreams and increased heart...

    My Trip to Bangkok: Stem Cell Treatment [Comments]

    @attheedgeofscience Thanks for sharing your experiences. It is interesting you are able to breathe better through your nose. Do you have any scientific theory as to why? It seems it could have regrown damaged cilia allowing better passage of mucus and pathogens from your sinuses. Or it could...

    My Tinnitus Took a Turn for the Worse After a Visit to the Gym

    I don't know how well they can replace the ear drum after inspection. For me it would be worth it to see what is going on if they can fix the ear drum back. Bad science is to blame. Here in the NHS they don't even take down your symptoms for tinnitus complaints to try to gather data and...

    Chirping, Zapping Tinnitus

    I have the same. The chirp I call an auditory nerve twitch. I feel the nerve twitching where I get the chirp sound. I too have spasms on the same side as the chirp. My temple and sometimes my jaw twitches. Sometimes when the temple twitches I can feel it to the top of my teeth. The temple...

    Solsaem Clinic (Dr. Minbo Shim) Experience

    Got a few questions if you dont mind @JohnAdams. 1. How long did it take for the injection to drain down the eustachian tube? 2. Did you notice a change in your hearing while it was in there, like increased head sounds and less external ones? 3. Could the solution help regenerate other things...

    My Tinnitus Took a Turn for the Worse After a Visit to the Gym

    Did you notice muffled voice when speaking, and increased hearing of head sounds like bones creaking etc? If yes, it seems to be like your tube got blocked up. Crap thing about the tube is we cannot inspect it. We cannot inspect the middle ear unless the ear drum is destroyed!

    Hearing Internal Sounds Louder — It's Not SCDS, Could It Be from Tinnitus or Hearing Loss?

    Has anyone noticed that tinnitus and/or hearing loss had caused them to hear internal sounds louder? I know of SCDS (Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome) being a cause of this which I have been given the all clear for. Only other thing I can think of is tinnitus and hearing loss has caused it...

    Voluntary Ability to Tense Muscle in Ear Which Extremely Amplifies Hearing

    You are opening your eustachian tube so every sound you are making in your mouth and sinuses is louder and the eustachian tube is normally closed which blocks those sounds. You need to stop doing it and you do not want to mess around with this area of your body. If you don't have anything like...

    I Think I Have Somatosensory Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Are you saying your tinnitus is high pitched to the pace of your pulse. So pulse and hitch pitch come at the same time. My tinnitus started like this. Now it has reduced to tinnitus and intermittent PT. What other symptoms do you notice. Can you hear your neck movements, bone creaking, when...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    My problem is chronic fluid despite being able to open the tube. Its really strange. What if the stimulation from Lenire of the trigeminal nerve has some positive effect on the nerves that control our eustachian tube. One would hope. The tinnitus and ET problems came at the same time. For me I...

    I have an appointment for late February. Not sure I am going to go ahead with Lenire yet as I still have trouble with my eustachian tube.

    Intratympanic Injection of Steroid for Treatment of Tinnitus

    Only thing is how can I get an ENT to inject me with it? I have inflammation in the eustachian tube closer to the middle ear so nasal sprays won't get in there. An injection would.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Interesting. Are your ear spasms like the frequency of your tinnitus sound? For example my high pitched tinnitus ear makes a kind of high-pitched bird chirp sound. Like the nerve is spasming or the timing of my tinnitus is temporarily out of sync and makes a tick like sound.

    Do I Have ETD If I Can Pop My Ears with the Smallest of Effort? My Ears Also Pop by Themselves

    I have pulsatile tinnitus too, which according to experts who have seen my scans, has no known cause.

    Do I Have ETD If I Can Pop My Ears with the Smallest of Effort? My Ears Also Pop by Themselves

    Sounds more like patulous eustachian tube to me OP. Go see an ENT who is knowledgeable on ETD and patulous eustachian tube and clear your mind from the questions you have. Not true, I have patulous opening in my right ear and still have ETD symptoms. Frequent fluid trapped in the ear. Many...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    What's the best way to diagnose TMJ/D? I get fluid stuck in the ear, one of my tinnitus tones gets louder when I yawn / I feel my pulse when I open my jaw / I get some spasm of a blood vessel or nerve in the area. But I don't get any clicking, only a dull sore feeling from time to time.
