@GG_Ear I assume it was from headphones but could also have been from my TMJ which can be chronic and/or ototoxic antidepressants. They've gotten better over time not as pronounced. Tried a mouthgaurd for TMJ but only stops teeth from grinding together, does not help the pain and ETD I've I've...

I get fluttering in both ears randomly. Feels like there is fluid bubbling away in my ears. Plus my T is louder.

Same <3

Aslo managed to catch a cold which caused me to cough so bad my head felt like it was going to explode and also TMJ has flared up. So many causes that it's hard to pinpoint one. Knowing my luck it'll be the fair. I'm so careful around sound too and have been for 18 months. I hope despite...

Should of listened to my instinct and left. Part of me was worried people will be sick of me moaning about sound and my ears so I stupidly stayed. My bf and mum both have T and they were not affected at all by the noise no spike or nothing. Just me as per usual. Euuggh feel so stupid. @Forever...

Going through what I hope is a spike myself, mainly in 1 ear, dreaded Eeeee high pitch buzz mix. Thr place I went Xmas shopping has a fairground on with music and lots of people. I plugged up with 25-28db plugs and kept as best I could away from speakers and took breaks inside shops (had to walk...

@PennyCat do you get random ear fluttering?

I find when it sounds thinner it feels and sounds way better.

i am so sorry @ErikaS a new noise to contend with can really throw you. I sometimes get certain noises i've heard re playing in my head or ears (not sure which one is doing the playing) after hearing certain sounds, had it from an alarm a few times etc i think the mind imprints that noise and...

It's a nice feeling of normality when in reality doing something like that shouldn't cause worry. How T changes things. Hope you had fun :)

Gotta agree with you on all of the above @ErikaS . It will also be firework night soon on the 5th of november for us in the uk, a time of year i loved and participated in yearly, this condition has also taken that away from me. :(

Gotta love autumn. It really does bring them out! @ErikaS

@Sammy0225 by pick up such a sharp frequency do you mean reactivity or the ability to hear high frequencies? Pissing me off how i am able to hear light switches buzzing and sounds tvs emit and other sounds no one hears lol

@Ondine also great to hear you are pretty much healed from T :)

(2) @Ondine something called sciatic nerve flossing was one i was told to do by my physio, knee hug position, lumbar rotations and arm openers. These will all be sciatica related and be found on Youtube. I have good and bad days still, my T can be in my face or i am able to tune it out, it all...

@Ondine at my worst i was on gabapentin co codamol and regular painkillers and it made no difference for me pain wise. Physio helped me immensely during the bad times. i went from being hunched over a supermarket trolley unable to stand straight to minimal if nothing pain. (1)

Try physio instead. I had crippling sciatica a few years ago where I couldn't stand up straight and electric shocks running across my lower back. Physio cured me of that more than drugs ever did.

Nooooo @Sammy0225 don't go!!! :P

Always a nice feeling till it ramps up! :(

If only I could Cher!! :P @tpj

@Juliane i have a morse code in my left ear, you have my sympathies. It's maddening cause it's all over the place tone wise as opposed to steady one.

I was invited again to a firework party, I really do think people either honestly don't think when asking or just don't care?? Not sure which one it is at times.

I would take my old T level back in an instant! Don't even want silence at this point just something way more manageable that doesn't turn my stomach at the mere sound and actions of it.

Its maybe just a coincidence?? I have a tone in my right ear louder than before, vigorous teeth brushing and too much neck movements when hair brushing but then again it could be just doing its own thing. Drink lots of water though to flush your system? Diaphram breath and try to relax even...

It's absolutely shite @hopefuldede my old T was a dream compared to this!

Wish it would get lost somewhere! @Joe Cuber

@ErikaS the same here. Even though my T is louder than its original level, if the diplacusis/distortions/reactivity lessened or went away then i would feel 10x better than it constantly pulling the rug from underneath me.

and they change the pics around to think something is new when its not!

I said the same thing to myself in 2015!

I hear it mainly over things like white/pink noise, kettle boiling, toilet flushing and even the distant sound of the motorway has shimmering fast beeps over it almost like church bells from afar. Almost like diplacusis or something like that. So much terminology in regards to this. I also miss...

@Sammy0225 have you seen the thread from @Coffeebean ? i think thats his username? He used pink noise at a specific frequency to help him

Great to hear @SarahMLFlemmer may it continue!!!

So good to hear @Moni97 Hope you are keeping well?

It can be. When I can't seem to relax my mind and tune out the distortions is when I can't sleep or it's very broken.

They are still there and im currently going through a spike so they are more noticeable atm. I do get a reprieve when my brain either forgets it or it does lessen in reactivity. 18 month in with this so I don't full expect them to go away with this T increase.

Sorry if i missed it @ErikaS but what side effects did it give you?

@Sammy0225 hope you manage to get out of the bed soon. Sending positivity your way :)

Believe me it is real. Just takes time.

I still listen to music, just on a much lower volume. Not quite the same but ill take it.

I'm sorry to hear that still @SarahMLFlemmer . Sleep when it's taken away from you is horrid. I used to be able to just nap on the couch with minimal backgroind noise with my old T :( What kind of sound therapy are you using? Crickets? Pink noise? How loud do you have it?

Loud night again? :( @SarahMLFlemmer Sorry to hear you struggling to sleep <3

I usually use my 20db plugs when out in public if it's exceptionally loud. Maybe try something with a lower decibel reduction? I used mine in London and that helped :) My H has only gotten better.

Things can only get better, you just gotta think it no matter how hard it may seem. You've got this @PennyCat :)

YaY :-)

Blood pressure rises after exercise even if its not that intense. It should settle down :)

Hidden hearing loss you may have???

@Joe Cuber can't beat a bit of poetry lol

Clearing up slowly @tpj but the ears haven't lowered in volume yet :( lovely morse code popped up last night in my right ear, it had the audacity to wake me out my sleep!

@DeanD apparently so! My 2am googling brought me to that also. I assume it'll have to be in high doses and not just the tiny amount I rubbed in my jaw area. :-/ feeling sorry for those mice!

You have my sympathy @PennyCat anxiety mixing in with T is always a challenge.
