Well, its been a while since ive been on here but here we are. So I had pfizer, basically here in NSW Australia we were told if we didnt get vaccinated we lose out on freedom. I was also told if i didnt get vaccinated i would lose my job. So i got vaccinated. First shot was fine nothing...

Wow my friend was telling the truth. She called to tell me about the article and i was like wait what are you talking about... She was all excited about the possibility of a cure for me bless her. Hope its a step in the right direction.

So yesterday had my B12 injection and my tinnitus seemed to drop like it always does. Woke up this morning to it being quieter. All of a sudden tonight, half an hour ago, a new tone has come out of nowhere in my left ear. I have never had any tones in this ear. Before it's always been white...

Well thats good and the fact that your T hasnt gotten worse from the dog bark seems good. Just monitor it for a few days though. Anxiety can do weird things, i clench when im anxious which causes a whole lot of issues sometimes pain, it depends on the person.

Burning pain feels like its burning like as if you burnt yourself. Maybe see another doctor and see what they say. I have gotten ear pain from clenching before due to my anxiety, so its not uncommon.

My ears cant stand the high pitched bark. The fact it was low was good. What does the ear pain feel like? When i get ear pain and im new to the ear pain it comes quickly then disappears quickly. Is it a burning pain or just normal pain? Are you sure you dont have an ear infection?

I didnt get ear pain mind you i was wearing double protection, however, I did get bad muscle pain afterwards because I think id been clenching my jaw from anxiety really badly. It really depends on the bark and dog was it high pitched or low bark? If your t was low this morning then im sure it...

Mine is in my ears and yes an electrical storm sounds right, it sounds metallic for me. Yikes i feel bad for you :( I have tones in one of my ears. The rest is all white noise. White noise is easier to deal with then tones honestly. I hope it feels better. Thanks I need it.

I have my doubts about it as well, but id like to have this sensitivity disappear so i can at least have a bit of a normal life again. Maby today is just angry ear day. Mine's all electrical right now which is super annoying.

@PeteJ its exactly why my parents right now said lets revisit the dog idea. My anxiety is so bad and my ears pain at anything and the whole barking issue was freaking me out. So im revisiting the idea of a dog in a years time or once everything has settled. What dog is it?

Ive woken up to angry ears this morning but nothing is new. I'd say give them a break, sometimes they need it. Have you considered getting your hypercausis treated? They want me to do sound desensitization in a few weeks to see if it helps.

I hope it settles and you feel better. Mine is up today but I worked this morning so that is probably why. I might take the day off on Monday and hopefully see if it settles.

Dont always rely on both though, when I went into the city I was wearing peltors and ear plugs and my tinnitus majorly spiked. But most of the other times both have worked.

That is why I wanted to get a pug or a king charles spaniel quiet dogs. At least the pugs bark is lower then shrillness. Oh i was planning to be very good with the training.

How do you find traveling with your ears? Is it hard? I get the train on the three days I work.

I don't know how libraries work overseas but if they work like they do here, they always have one of programs to go to. So maybe check them out because at least you know your guaranteed a program that will be quiet! So you work from home? I wish I could, it would make my life so much easier.

Book club -cough librarian in me cough- it's quiet and most people are usually older. But I agree 60+ normally don't want to hang around us people in our 30's.

I really wish there were, life would be so much easier! It seems life is just getting louder. I can't even go into the supermarket which had quiet music and now it's blasting.

Alue, I feel you. I have given up going out honestly. I feel like everytime I do I come home worrying if I've made things worse. It's the same when I go to work. It's like I'm constantly monitoring my ears because they are so erratic lately. It's getting to the point I don't even want to go to...

So I was suppose to get a Cavoodle/Cavapoo next week and ended up getting the deposit back. I went up to my friends house on Sunday to meet her dog. Shiz Tzu X Maltese. I have never heard a dog so high pitched in barking in my life. It was horrific, thankfully I had double protection on but even...

cochlear suppresion via chronic ear plugging may even cause tinnitus Well that has officially freaked me the hell out, it makes sense as to why my tinnitus has gotten worse lately. As for the earmuffs I have the X4A and i find it hurts after having it on for a while and my jaw feels really...

your cats are so cute!!!!!!!! So think i might be getting a cat despite allergies, (ive had 3 before) had put a deposit down on dog, suppose to pick it up next week, however ears gotten worse and diagnoses with hypercuis parents think bad idea. So cat more quieter and easier!

Im curious mine goes high pitched then down to white noise then back up to high pitched then down to white noise. I am confused on what this means or is this normal?

Oh wow. I havent had a shoulder or neck massage in six months so im well overdue for one. I use to get them almost weekly to monthly with my physio before he moved. Back then my tinnitus was a lot milder. Might look into getting one done again. Yeah I do, do a lot of bending as a librarian my...

Sometimes jaw feels tight to open I do get sinus issues due to allergies im on nasonex for it. I do clench especially when im anxious so I know that not sure if i twist my jaw. My neck gets sore right near my shoulders sometimes around the back of my head. Interesting you bring up B12 i get...

Oh I know how you feel. I thought it might be because ive had my earplugs for to long and its my head and ears way of saying TAKE THEM OUT lol.

So ive had two doctors diagnose me with TMJ but yet to see the dentist. Its on my list of things to do. But my question is to anyone or even @Greg Sacramento might know the answer is this my TMJ playing up or hyperacusis Is it possible to make your TMJ worse by talking? Here me out. On a...

I am a little apprehensive, I just went on there website and im not fond of what I read. But we will see what they have to say. My ears have always reacted even before tinnitus to having sound directly into my ear canal, even when I was little. So I'm hesitant over the very idea of shoving some...

So just got back from ENT. For the last few weeks my tinnitus seems like it's been getting gradually worse which I kind could see why. I was sure it was stemming from possible over protection leading to hyperacusis. I've always kind of felt like I might possibly have had it even before...

Mine majorly crackle like its like someone is scrunching a chip packet in my ear. Ive noticed its actually been getting worse. So not sure what the deal is. I know I never use to have it. I think an ENT said to me once its ETD but also apparently tinnitus can make your ears do it as well. I dont...

Normally they just look in my ears with there ear thingy, not sure what its called. Apparently they can see it. One doctor told me my eardrum was bulging due to the fluid behind it. I get a lot of sinus issues so not all the surprising.

@another sean Om gosh I cant deal that is so cute!!!!!!!!!! That just melted my heart.

@Jcb om gosh thats kind of cute not going to lie. Poor thing bless him. @coffee_girl That is exactly why my parents think it would be a good idea. Help with my anxiety and stop me monitoring my tinnitus all day. It will give me something to do rather then sitting around checking on it every...

At least you know she is a good guard dog lol. I am glad its worked out well for you. What is her name?

@coffee_girl how is your yorkie going. I remember you had smiliar concerns to me when reading one of your other threads. Are your ears still hurting when your yorkie barks or no?

@Jazzer Om gosh hahahaha that is hilarious, hope your wife got her sewing machine back after the standoff! Also I looked into blue Persians apparently there hypoallergenic so maybe my allergies wont be as bad with one. @Jcb awwww id love a husky maybe one day i shall get one of those down the...

HAHAHAHAHA that made me laugh way to hard. Ive been actually binge watching pokemon last two weeks due to my anxiety. How I would love a pokemon, my house would be full of them.

@OnceUponaTime Awww she is so cute! is that breed known to bark or no? I wanted to train the dog not to bark. We probably wouldnt do the whole rough house with the dog either, we want a nice calm dog. My parents are getting on in age so they want a dog which will curl up and just chill, hence...

My first choice was lab wanted once since i was a kid, parents said no they want small. I was considering french bulldog, apparently there suppose to be quiet. Yeah I know pugs have many issues it makes me sad as well. I feel so bad for them honestly.

They are stunning!!!!!! Annie is beyond beautiful I love her colouring! What cat type is she?

I was considering Golden Retriever but parents don't want a large dog. I was going to go with a puppy to teach it not to bark but your way is also good didnt really think of that. Smart :)

I wasnt even aware I was until I had an allergy test a few years ago. I am moderately allergic so I just end up sneezing a bit. Which isnt too bad, I think that is because I was around cats most of my life growing up so the allergy wasnt considered high. How long have you had Percival?

Awwwwwwwww hes so cute!!!!!!!!!!! I've had three cats in my life, Gingey my Brother's cat, Little Kitty and Snowy which were mine. I am allergic though. I wouldnt mind another cat, just not sure if my parents would after what happened with Snowy.

Mine has been doing the same thing since i last went into the city three weeks ago. I went to work this week and my ears spiked bad. Doctor know has me on sick leave for the next week and we will go from there. Like you they just seem to be getting worse every day.

From someone that has the injections and has had for nearly ten years. My perception has always been that after about 4 weeks the injection wears off hence why it gets louder. Mine always gets louder by week 4 or 5 then when I have the injection again it drops. Mine has done that for years, I am...

I am aware of that. It's not something I plan to rush into.

Hahahaha exactly, no thank you and I am also little so it would be walking me not the other way around lol.

We don't want a big dog because of that, plus my parents are old so a massive dog with a lot of energy would not fit in this household. Oh that would be so nice, two of my cats would sleep next to me, the other one wouldn't, it was so anti social and it's the reason why my parents have now been...

So we are considering getting a dog. I am a little worried about the whole barking issue. Which is one of the reasons why I was considering a Pug because apparently they are quieter? So far we are looking into a Pug and possibly Toy Poodle. My parents think it might help with my anxiety and to...

I shall, thanks very much Michael :)

Everytime i swallow it crackles. Its like having a chip packet in my ears. Mind doesnt do that from side to said, yawning a little. At the moment not great, got worse this week so its a bit all over the place, I also have fluid currently in my ears which is not helping.

The sand not so much, i find it odly a comfort. The crackling however still annoys the hell out of me all these years later, nothing i can do though. Nasal sprays don't really help me unfortunately. I cant really pop mine either, but ive stopped trying because ive heard it can make things worse...

Not the biggest fan of prescription so I might for herbal, i was told rescue remedy is good so might try that. I think I might invest in the sound oasis as i dont have a docking station. Might be easier for me. Thanks for your help Michael :)

Thanks Michael, I know it takes time its the most frustrating thing about it all. I am often way to hard on myself, constantly blaming myself which I know I need to stop. I have my air con on during the night just below my tinnitus that seems to help. I live in a very quiet area in the bush so...

I am seeing a hearing therapist, i have been for months for CBT and who specialties in Tinnitus therapy, its not really helping. As for the Audiologist not sure how it works in other countries but over here they are very expensive and trying to afford it when not having the money is a little...

They actually dont know what caused it. I saw an ENT all he told me was damage from what I dont know and then told me to plug my ears when going to a mall and that's it. Ive always had sensitive hearing and even as a teen and early twenties would plug my ears at concerts. I am in tinnitus...

Music was my life it use to calm me down but lately its like it gives me anxiety. (quiet the boyband fanatic in my day lol) I just binged watch an entire season of Pokemon with captions and no sound. My ears are really off at the moment, this past week everytime ive walked out of the house they...

Mine has never gone away, its only ever been in my right ear though and its been like that for about 7 years now. I also have major crackling. I think it has something to do with ETD but i could be wrong.

Ah makes sense. Thanks Michael. I gave up headphones long again, actually i gave up even listening through my speakers as well long ago.

This is going to sound like a really stupid question and I do apologies in advance. But what is the difference from using a headphone and a speaker? I get the headphone depending on the brand your more likely to gain a tinnitus spike. But how is it any different from getting a spike from a...
