I haven't been taking too much Magnesium as I have to be careful with it due to some other health stuff. I might try tomorrow and I'll let you know if it does anything.
Have you had any changes? My ears feel OK most of the time but loud sounds make them tense up. Waiting for the reactivity to...
I actually don't have the moving my jaw to pop my ears thing, no. I also don't have muffled hearing.
I noticed that my ears are a bit more "strained" or tight when I lie down on my side. When I am vertical it's almost like the pressure is minimal or even almost absent. Do you notice this too...
I still think this pressure is due to the ear muscle spasms, along with the face/jaw pressure. Lots of people have this, it's because the muscles in the ear are pressing on the trigeminal nerve so your whole face/head might respond.
TTTS is characterized by the thumping/fluttering but I think...
I think my fullness and tightness are the same as last time.
Yes, it took maybe 3-4 weeks, after which my ear was sensitive to sounds for a while after.
Do you get any ear pain from external sounds? Or any pain at all?
Nope, mine is not TMJ related, it's just ear.
I think you can probably...
Thank you. Yeah, it's very hard mentally. I'm trying to stay positive.
I only took Prednisone for like 2 days last time. I think I didn't need it because I also had no hearing loss.
I'm sorry this happened to you also. What caused it? Were you at a loud concert?
Yeah, mine feel like what...
Hey @andwaai99, well, funny you ask. Since that first incident yes, my ear fullness went away although the left ear still sometimes tightens up to a loud sound. Yesterday someone made a loud metallic noise near me though and both ears got very tight and achy again. So, yeah. Let's just say I...
@Jupiterman, I think I am noticing the same with mine!! I believe it's related to the Eustachian tubes as chewing can change pressure inside them.
Is your tinnitus related to your Eustachian tubes? How did you get your tinnitus? Do your ears feel plugged? And how are you doing these days?
@Tom_Tom, may I ask where are you at now with your buzzing? I have a very similar type buzzing but not all body shocks. Have you improved at all? Mine seems to be related to dehydration/dry mouth, but I am not sure.
@Zugzug, may I please ask, from this (older) comment of yours, you said that antidepressants spiked your tinnitus, but it was always temporary. Can I ask how long it took you to get back to normal after those spikes (if you remember)?
Hi @Jaybait2, may I ask how you are doing now?
My situation is similar to yours in terms of symptoms - had acoustic incident happen 5 days ago and now ear fullness in one ear, no hearing loss though, no tinnitus but slight sound sensitivity maybe. I'm trying to decide what to do, I have some...
Actually in addition to my original post: today is the first day that I didn't take Prednisone and I feel quite a bit more ear pain than previous 4 days. Not sure what that means. Any thoughts?
Hi everyone, I'm new and been reading these forums for a few days now. 4 days ago I was working with an impact driver screwdriver and it got quite loud for short bursts of time several times. ( maybe 4 times, each 5 seconds long or so). I realized it was too loud and stopped but right after I...
