Sorry for the absence. A quick update, really - I still have tinnitus; but for the most part, it is better now :)

Maybe a development or not. Finding it harder to freely move the tissue inside of my ear; to make the ear crackle at will. Will it stick...

The pain in my right ear has been much better these past few months. Not having to constantly take pain killers is nice..

One year down, hopefully not too many more to go :S

I will say one positive about T. Just ONE. It gives you an excellent gauge to measure against other bad things that may happen in life.

Resisting the temptation to take ibuprofen daily at this point...but worried about long term side-effects :S

Ear continues to feel like it’s inhabited by Flubber. At least it’s a stable noise.

My ear rarely pops anymore (fingers crossed); unless I deliberately force air into my E-tube. I’ll take it as an step in the right direction

A good, old walk in the rain :)

@Steph1710 Hope you get better soon! :) Sounded painful!

Is there any consensus on which is the safest vaccine for T sufferers? I’m hearing bad things about Pfizer.

Hi, Could I ask how you got ETD by any chance? Allergies, ear infection, bad cold? (I've personally been on this unpleasant E-train for 9 months.)

Going to ask my ENT if they can arrange a micro camera into my E-tube, and record the results - maybe get some answers on the tissue lining.

Had my MRI - I think the machine was a later model, so it wasn't as loud as I dreaded. (No spike from the procedure. Wore ear defenders.)

Hi Owen, just wondering how you are getting on?

Surprise MRI appointment letter, the day after my birthday!? :o

Ah, Alister, why must you wiggle and hurt me so :( I thought we were coming around. Becoming friends even. Well, more cider for me, I guess.

I’ve invested in a re-useable gel pack and am going to be doing a bit of heat / ice therapy from now on. Strapping it on is a bit fiddly :S

I’m thinking of giving the living dough octopus in my ear a name. I’m thinking Greg... Any other suggestions?

Every day I am grateful that lofi music exists. It’s not silence, but combined with masking, it’s the bronze medal to it. It’s something.

Sorry for the delay - I’ll try my best, but I’m obviously not an ENT / medical practitioner. My answers are based on my opinion and experience with ETD and I am a sample size of 1 person. My ETD was caused by a middle ear infection and what I believe is swollen E tube tissue, not mucus or the...

Hi JYD, I've had what I believe to be ETD for 7 1/2 months - so I might be able to help you narrow it down. Was it wet in the sense that the 'exterior' of your ear had leakage, or does the interior of your head feels wet inside? Does your Eustachian tube hurt or feel swollen? Is there any...

Inside of my head feels wet. That's new.

Insides of the post-surgery ear feel weirdly, erm... cold? Not freezing but pretty darn chilly. Like someone left a fridge door open. Odd.

Subnautica - quite possibly the best aquatic game in existence. You will be afraid to go to greater depths though :bag: I was! Please Note: Leviathans in mirror are closer than they appear.

Back from surgery. No immediate improvement but have been advised by my doctor that the majority take 1-3 months to notice the benefit.

Surgery is in 8-12 hours...let’s see how this goes.

I don’t know if I’ve missed the opening, but I sent them an email as well.

If tinnitus has taught me anything, it’s how to be patient (among a few other things). Or perhaps just endurance. Sheer bloody endurance.

Crazy levels of movement and vibration in my head. Tinnitus is currently piercing - like ultra oscillating glass. Can’t sleep.

My head feels like a washing machine set to max spin rotation. It’s kind of fun. Kinda.
