It's been over 2 years since my acoustic shock incident. I am doing a whole lot better now. Still have issues, but not like before luckily.

Not sure If I should follow through with my pfizer vac appointment. Both covid and Vac sucks. Wish we didnt have to make this decision

Do you recall what volume level you had you PC volume set to while gaming, or at least a good guess?

I listened to one song with my headphones on today.Its been more than a year since Ive used them.I truly felt alive,I got lost in the moment

Did you avoid earbuds/headphones during this time?

More things are sounding way off.Some sound flat/sharp,other's things like garbage.T remains the same, I wonder what damage this indicates.

I wish I had healthy ears again.Could sure use headphones + music right about now.

I have exactly this (among other things). But is this not dysacusis? I have had other things get better, but this won't budge an inch and it's almost been a year. I can move my head just a little and it can result in it getting quieter or much louder depending on the angle.S o bizarre. I wonder...

Wow 500. Congrats!!!I think...

Does this happen even if they aren't on/plugged in?Meaning, just wearing them alone would cause you discomfort?

How are you measuring you headphones?A lot of people underestimate just how loud their headphones are.Just curious.

My H has gotten a lot better over the last 3 months.T and dysacusis didnt improve at all.Still miserable.Hope for others with H I suppose

I get quite depressed thinking about it. So I try my best to not go down that rabbit hole. I miss being able to just toss on some headphones and relax with music. I tried putting headphones (unplugged) on and it causes discomfort in my left ear. I really fear I damaged my ossicles, I hear...

RIP Kobe Bryant...

I worry that my middle ears suffered damage as some have stated that our ossicles are fragile. But I had similar question as you, except that I'm wondering how many fighters have suffered middle ear damage. I've watched Kick Boxing and MMA in general, in which fighters get kicked right on or...

I'm not waiting for a cure. I will simply build a time machine. I have rented Back to the Future trilogy on VHS. I have some studying to do.

8 months in and I'm still in denial.This can't seriously be my life.It real doesnt feel real.What little I had, gone just like that.1 second

Good description of what I hear too. Are you saying if you tilt or move your head around a little that you can lessen the intensity of this noise? On trigger objections, like a fan for example, if I tilt my head just a little or move my whole body even a few inches I can lessen the ringing...

Nah, MPP is for shitposts and dank memes. There are a feel regulars who make this their home, and recent events took away this thread's charm for a bit. That, at least, is how I see it.

Lot's of things don't make sense in life, but, as you said, the next 18 months could prove to be huge for us. If anything we will be 18 months wiser and hopefully 18 months stronger.

Is there a reward for beating the record? I'm sure I can beat 45 mins easily. Here is the winning formula: -9dB + WhoKnowsWhatT = Winner. Any expert feel free to review my calculations.

I have this. I hear humming, ringing, beeps among others. My dryer is worse, I could still hear my dryer as I remember, but it definitely takes a back seat to this really loud ringing coming from it. Bad news for me is that I'm almost 8 months in with this and it hasn't gotten better. But good...

Meh.

What do you think about a carnivore diet? Some people claim that it helped with things like chronic inflammation as well as many others things. I'm just wondering if it can help heal our ears, if only just a little.I also know some members have tried it with no success on these forums, but...

I had hyperacusis resolve about 6 months or so ago. I still experience ringing, humming, and beeps from some noise sources. There's more to it than just hyperacusis. Although you are right in that when I had hyperacusis I did suffer from dysacusis. Hopefully this resolves for Yuuls.

I get this too, and it's really loud if I set my fan to medium, so I keep it at low or high. Dryer, vents, fridges and some music cause a loud whistle or humming. It's louder then the source sound, especially the dryer, I've had it for a few years and it is quiet, but now I hear a really loud...

Well 2019 was the worst year of my life by a mile.

Don't you think ossicles damage, even a small fracture, would show up on an audiogram? My last ENT visit said ossicle damage would show on an audiogram. One thing I did notice shortly after noticing clicking (about 2 weeks ago) ,is that I got weird sensation in my ear, which you can read in...

I too developed clicking. It started around 2 months ago. I thought my ossicles were damaged, but I'm not sure anymore. I first noticed it while doing jumping jacks. Some say it's Eustachian Tube opening and closing. I read people on running forums reporting same problems, so it isn't just us on...

Hmm... No visual snow, but I do see Bigfoot.

From my understanding, Anti-Oxidants prevent the nerves from dying by attacking free radicals before they can do damage. Which is why I also asked if this could be used beyond 2-3 day window from damage onset, just not sold on that yet. I hope I'm wrong. I'm not really worried about...

Another update: I saw an ENT today. He took a look at my eardrum and said that it's fine. No bulging and no retraction, plus no fluid behind the ear and ZERO SIGNS OF INFECTION. Said my left (bad one) ear looks just like my right one. Now I'm confused. My Doctor just 2 days ago said my eardrum...

Anyone please help. What's the next best safest antibiotic if Augmentin didn't work? They gave me cipro, but that's crazy bad AB...

Is there a list of safest Antibiotics.I took augmentin but ear infection didnt clear.I dont trust cipro.Whats my next best safe bet.

Small update. I just got back from the a doctor visit. I was explaining to him that I had a bulging eardrum as he was looking at my eardrum. He paused and said "I don't think you know what a bulging eardrum is". Confused I asked why and he replied "You eardrum is retracted, it has negative...

Now I have a cold/fever. This came about two weeks after the ear started bulging. Can this be related? Too big of a delay IMO, but IDK. I just finished a 10 day course of Augmentin 1000mg every 12 hours. Is it safe to take Nyquil/Dayquil? Please help... The ear is still bulging. Augmentin...

IDK... Sleeping on my left ear cause discomfort/bulging feeling... I'm screwed man,this is brutal...

Eardrum still bulging. It builds and relaxes at times, wonder what that means... Antibiotics haven't helped... must be something else. Can ETD cause this? Going to try to see an ENT, but they can take forever to see...

Hello Dr. Nagler, On November 21st is when I first noticed a feeling like a stone was in my left ear. This went away for the most part the following day. But on the 24th it returned, so I went to the ER. The doctor looked at my left eardrum and said it was bulged. He then tapped around my head...

What keeps me going? I'm trying to find the answer to that. Unfortunately I seem to have other ear problems on top of the distortion to sounds, hearing loss, tinnitus. I'm fighting a bulging eardrum right now. Fear my ossicles are damaged since I can't find anyone really relating to my symptoms...

I'm afraid of trying the valsalva maneuver ha. No negative pressure. Best I can describe is just small discomfort until my eardrum bulges, then it becomes high discomfort. I just got back from urgent care. They said that I still have bulging eardrum but no redness/inflammation or liquid behind...

@JohnAdams and anyone. It just happened again. I feel discomfort and I feel the bulging slowly increase. It reaches a peak and can last a while but it then starts to relax and feels almost normal. This last time it built up over 10 minutes and starting fading and I feel better now. I don't...

Feels like it's being pushed by ossicles, but as you mention pressure could do this too. Think I should go back to see what they say now .Doctors and ENTs are closed till Monday...

Thanks for the response! I feel fine, don't feel ill and they only said that my left eardrum was bulging out. They didn't mention anything else. I don't know what to think anymore. I fear my ossicles are fucked. I have taken 3 days of 875mg Amoxicillin/125mg Clavulanate Potassium every 12 hours...

Miserable.Day's are tedious.Sacred of antibiotics.Just a mess.I wonder if I will ever experience joy again.I need a miracle...

Anyone...?
