So T is literally making me dumber? Like, it's fxcking with my IQ?

Like, apart from depression, will this condition make anyone dumber? I'm just curious.

Not active here by any means but I really am thankful for this forum. Nobody IRL can relate to this.

Could I get a rough date on when this will be coming to market? 2022? Later?

ugh

the moments where i can't hear it (or feel like i can't) drive me crazy lmao

I've seen bad things about manual removal too, honestly. Though funnily enough she used a curette on me as well. :p

Yes. The ENT gave me the usual round of hearing tests , micro-sucked out some wax, and it went away for a few hours? Then came back lol. I haven't watched any videos but I did read the back of the box a few times.

Bit of an odd question but I have noticed a teeny bit of pain upon insertion of the things -- just wondering if that's a sign I should stop. Note the pain doesn't exist when they're in. I wear them for about 2 hours a day, four days a week while on the bus -- one hour to my school, when I get...

I'm sort of dorming right now, can't have my music bothering my roommate. Plus I just prefer headphones for music.

I still use them; without music I'd be too miserable. And my T is not affected by headphones anyway, it decreases and increases as it wishes to. My volume never exceeds 50% ( if it ever goes up that high even ) and I take 30 minute breaks between each hour. Also I no longer listen to music in...

it vanished for a few hours after she sucked out the wax and now it's back!

i'm getting used to it quite well, i think. also i see an ent on monday, fingers crossed. x

These look great. Thanks!

So I have to commute about 2 or so hours each day (1 hour to, 1 hour from) and I'm wondering if wearing ear plugs is a good idea. I've been using Silicone plugs from Walgreens for the past couple of days. But today my ears feel a bit full, wondering if the plugs are to blame. Should I keep...

still praying the t is being caused by an ear infection or something benign & will go away with treatment! fingers crossed.

No, just slightly irritating. The metallic sound is unnatural to me so it's a bit worrying. That's all. And if not 'metallic', I feel I'm taking notice of sounds I used to ignore. Take me typing, for example. I'm hyper aware of my fingers hitting the keys, never felt that before.

@Contrast The sharpness? It's not really bothersome unless I really, *really* focus on it ( which I tend to do ). Even then the things producing the sharpness have to get done & they aren't wildly loud like vacuuming or concerts so I just tell my ears to deal with it lol. @billie48 God bless...

so are you cured?

Thanks! But I thought syringing was bad.

There's this metallic edge, a certain sharpness to some sounds now. Voices, water hitting the kitchen sink, the tap of my keys while I type -- what's up with that? It's not so prominent that it ruins me, but I notice it & it's slightly upsetting. Could that sharpness have always been there, &...

If not micro-suction, how else could the doctor remove impacted earwax? I've seen people here say manual cleaning is dangerous too because there's a chance of slicing open the ear canal or something. Thanks for the reply.

Only asking so I can know what to refuse and what to accept once I ask my ENT to test my hearing. I know a Tympanometry is a big no.

@Jay 2018 and what caused your T originally? do you remember? had you often used headphones before getting it?

how excellent. hoping this is the case for me -- cheers, mate. what tools did he use exactly, if you don't mind me asking

i foolishly listened to my dad's advice to just give the ear drops another go. only after getting the stuff in my ears did i notice they went bad back in 2016 :mad: tossed 'em out immediately but it's too late lol. now this noise is in my right ear too, when previously it was contained within...

yo, do you regularly listen to music through headphones? only asking because your t is noise induced? i think. have you noticed any issues? any spikes, etc

hey! i'm randomly sending messages to folks who seem to use earbuds/headphones/whatever with tinnitus have you noticed any spikes or changes in t while using earbuds/headphones?

hey! was just wondering if could message you about tinnitus? if you have that, even. only asking because i was searching 'headphones with tinnitus' and you were fine with them being used..?

Folks born in 99-afterwards. Only asking because everyone I know (or see rather, I don't really 'know' people my age lol) use some type of headphone/earbud/iem/whatever you call it. Plenty of them exceed that volume warning. And others don't, I know I never did but hell! Look at me. Suffering...

thanks for the advice, guys. what is hbot?

To keep this short, I've bolded the important bits. My tinnitus came on just a few days ago, I'm 19 years of age. It happened after I used ear drops for wax ( brand name Major, it's got a yellow label with green lettering ). My experience can't speak for all but in the future, these may want...
