Warning, this is a dense reply. I do hope it helps, though. I like to be thorough in case anyone else in a similar spot needs more information. (This is aimed at people who mainly have somatic tinnitus/TMD.) First, yes, I do have a lot of inner ear pain. I have crackling sounds as well...

Hmm... I'm surprised that neither prescribed you prednisone? I feel like your situation counts as being acceptable to take a high dose and then taper for at least 5-7 days. I would get back in with a new doctor or ask the last one ASAP for a steroid to heal faster and reduce potential issues...

Hey, thank you for sharing your story. I'm really sorry to hear you've had to go through all these trials with not only tinnitus but also the pain and your hearing. It seems to me like stress is also a major culprit in your condition. Not the main causative factor, but certainly fuel to the...

I just wanted to kind of check back in with everyone here. @Greg Sacramento no need to worry about replying to my other lengthy comment here, but I was wondering if you're around this week - have you ever heard of prednisone or other oral steroids making tinnitus worse? I consulted with the...

Yes - I suspect that it was eventually going to happen anyway, probably soon, considering it literally took less than 5 seconds for me to hit the fulcrum point. It's pretty crazy how this has been ongoing since March of last year, and the guard only delayed the inevitable. In this case, I...

Just wanted to respond to fill in any gaps of info, as I'm in the exact same situation as you. At first, I thought my tinnitus - new noises in my right ear - was caused by a brief noise of somebody yelling. But then it slowly came together that first, it was only a few seconds, from 4 feet...

Sorry to hear about your situation. Although a few weeks have gone by since the initial incident, I don't think it'd hurt to speak to your GP as soon as possible about starting oral steroids for the ringing, as well as taking generally approved anti-inflammatories such as curcumin in capsule...

Hello again. Thank you for the informative response. I have never lifted 8 lb except in the last 2-3 weeks. Besides that, just light weights - usually 3 lb, but occasionally no more than 5, but which have occasionally caused a strain in my left neck and upper body. I'm upset with myself for...

Thanks for your input. I don't know if it matters one way or another, but the tinnitus sound has transformed multiple times today, taking on different qualities. Not sure if that's a good or bad sign. I hope it's good, as in that suggests it won't be permanent. I know for sure that I have very...

I'm here once again from posting days ago. After consulting with everyone in my home, they don't think that the person who shouted for a few seconds near me was loud enough to cause the severity of my tinnitus and pain at present. I suppose they're right. (The scream happened several ft. away...

Hey, how are you feeling now? Were you ever able to get relief? It sounds like you've been having some kind of nerve issue if a hot/cold feeling was shooting through your whole face and I can see how the jaw/neck could be involved with that.

There are some other causes beyond acoustic trauma. TMD/TMJ disorder. Somatic i.e., problems with posture and the cervical spine. This does require other testing. You would probably know it if it was TMD/TMJ because this can be incredibly painful and make it difficult even to eat, and you might...

Also - sorry, I forgot to re: to this last half. It's been a really upsetting and draining day for me. I moved my jaw side to side and compulsively listened to my T sounds by holding my ears closed and seemed to set off something worse in the bad/L ear. A weird new muffled sort of sound, not a...

You're not alone. I now have a weird sound I've never heard before just by moving my jaw back and forth when it was already irritated. I feel dumb for doing it. I have OCD and got triggered, etc. long story but I did it and now it's making a weird sound, almost like a muffled filter over my...

I'm just super upset in general because now my R ear/jaw is becoming more affected and I feel helpless due to the pandemic. I'm angry that I never got full improvement and that I'm honestly going to just have to get the Botox shots by this point but I truly hope it'll be worth my while. The ETD...

So you have noticed that lifting and such can set off somatic Tinnitus? Because I suspect that that's my issue. Or one of them, at least.

I got a night guard and it did improve the volume and intensity of my symptoms in my case (unilateral) by over 50%. It went from being very loud, heard even over the TV to much more tolerable, especially in every day environments. It's very faint overall compared to what people here describe and...

I'm sorry to hear this. It does seem that the longer you're around the very loud noise, the more it can hurt your ears. However, since it was only a couple minutes I hope by this point your symptoms have at least gotten more manageable. I have seen some stories about working with heavy machinery...

Can you private message me or reply a little bit more about how your cervical neck/atlus adjustment went? I am going to get tests run prior to going, [MRI, X-ray] but despite that, I'm still pretty afraid of the entire thing. I do suffer a great deal with my neck and upper body, though, even...

I am so sorry you're going through this. Can you try to relax as much as possible and pile on the anti-inflammatory meals and herbs? Curcumin, magnesium, Zinc, etc.? I'm not sure if everyone responds the same way to those things but maybe it could help. I hope it improves soon.

Could you briefly summarize why you'd choose this one over regular NAC? Zacc mentioned he has a Histamine response from taking too much NAC. This concerns me. I already have symptoms of histamine intolerance through constant stuffiness and sinus issues, among other things. Thanks

Do you happen to have a recommendation for where you can get low-dose NAC and what your preferred dosage is? Do you/have you ever experienced side effects? (If anything I do tend to become easily upset to my stomach from the wrong supplements. Just wondering about your experiences.) I'm going...

Really late to find this thread but if you're still around, what do you mean, exactly, by the tone 'fluctuates'? Do you mean in volume and intensity, or do you mean the actual sound? As in, your T sound itself goes up and down, if that makes sense?

Thanks. I'll see what I can do. I'm in the US so it's the holiday weekend, things won't be open and such until Tues. morning and I don't think it's THAT bad enough to warrant me going to urgent care for an in person doctor visit. I'm still high risk for Corona as well. Honestly that just makes...

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm really worried but I know that isn't going to help. It's just so frustrating to me because there were other people in the room, including one person standing even closer and non one else is affected. I just don't get it. This has also opened my eyes to the...

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm almost certain that problems with my jaw have caused part, if not all of the very bad tinnitus I have in my left ear. I can totally relate to the symptoms you describe. I never got my wisdom teeth removed because they never popped out. I'm considering...

I'm extremely upset about an incident that happened yesterday afternoon. It's been close to 24 hours since the noise began and I feel awful. An idiot whom I'm unfortunately acquainted with got scared and accidentally screamed REALLY loudly with me standing only 3-4 feet away in a small living...
