No tests or anything. It seems to fluctuate each day. I’ve had a mix of the pressure, swallowing sensation, sore throat, sinus blockage etc. so assuming it’s a mix of things.

Yeah that’s right. It seems to come in waves and occasionally feels normal for a few minutes, then goes back to feeling blocked. I’ve been having issues with pressure in the ear and blocked sinuses so not sure if it’s all connected. But as I said it could just be a coincidence and nothing to...

It’s like my left side is blocked. When I swallow it’s like I only feel the swallowing sensation on the right side. I also have some mild pain and tickle/itch sensation which comes and goes.

Oh right, I see. Personally I don’t think the Magnesium helps too much. Unfortunately I seem to have gotten worse. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but now I have had actual pressure blocking my ear for the past few days with symptoms of Eustachian tube dysfunction. So I still have the...

That’s good you don’t have any issue with hearing. For me it’s the same regardless of standing/lying down. Although sometimes there’s slight relief when the pressure from the pillow is applied to the ear. I also noticed when I pull the top of my ear, there’s some minimal relief. Yeah, I’ve...

I have been experiencing some of these symptoms associated with Eustachian tube dysfunction such as pressure, clicking and weird sensation when swallowing - but only since the onset of the fullness following the acoustic trauma. So I really don’t understand if this is a major coincidence or if...

Okay, thanks for the info! Do you think your fullness was only due to the negative pressure? Or something else? As my tympanogram showed abnormal results on the left, but I still don’t understand if/how a noise could cause that - I also don’t get any relief even when ‘popping’ my ear. This...

Yeah it definitely seems like the muscles are all activated/tense - which I think is also causing this slight reduction/dampening of my hearing. Glad you’re getting better! I can certainly relate with the ups and down (physically and emotionally). Going from optimism as you said, to feeling...

I’m certainly glad you saw improvement! Hoping I experience the same over the next few weeks. It’s a very strange feeling and I can relate to the tightness you mention (seems to be across my whole left ear/head/jaw) + then there’s blocked feeling from within which dulls my hearing. I seem to...

I was prescribed 10 mg Flunarizine for dizziness (believed to be from vestibular neuritis). After a few weeks it seemed to have a positive effect on my tinnitus (potentially lowered the volume) although I was already habituated - but it was enough to notice a change. However, it made me feel...

I’ve been looking into TTTS. How would you describe the feeling of that? As I’m not really sensitive to loud noise (unless it’s very loud or high pitched, as I’m defensive due to my tinnitus - but not because it causes pain etc.). At the moment, sound doesn’t seem to affect the fullness. If...

It was a sudden onset of a high pitch ring ‘inside’ my head one night. Honestly I didn’t see much improvement the first year - but since then it just got gradually quieter to a point where now I only notice it when I’m in a quiet room etc. The main improvement is the perception of it and it...

Hi @Ngo13, Did your feeling of fullness ever go away or improve? I had an acoustic trauma 1 week ago from a motorbike backfiring and my left ear has felt blocked/full since. I can’t seem to find much information on this and as my audiogram was only slightly worse for the left side (20-25...

Yeah it’s really tough to stay positive but we have to do what we can! A motorbike drove past me and the exhaust backfired from 1 metre away. That’s been 1 week and no improvement unfortunately. I wouldn’t say I have muffled hearing this time like in the past after prolonged noise exposure...

Yeah I opted not to take it in the end, as my tinnitus didn’t change & audiogram didn’t show hearing loss. My main question is if people have experienced positive effects for the full/blocked/dampened feeling that developed after the bike backfired. I can’t seem to find much information on...

Sorry to hear that’s happened to you again, how frustrating... I’ve experienced fullness/muffled hearing in the past after being at a concert etc. but this is usually better by the next day. I’ve always been quite sensitive to sounds, even before my tinnitus (now I’m extra cautious of course)...

Hey, did your fullness ever improve? I'm having a similar experience at the moment. No hearing loss or change in tinnitus but fullness for the last 4 days after an exhaust popped right next to me.

Okay I see - what sort of dosages would be more effective? And would Methylprednisolone have a positive effect on this fullness I feel across my left side? As I can only seem to find information on its use for more severe hearing loss or for tinnitus itself. As my audiometry test didn’t show...

Hi everyone, I’ve had tinnitus (sudden onset, high-pitched ringing felt ‘inside’ head) for 2.5 years. In the last year I habituated and it no longers cause me the psychological hell it once did. Yesterday I was walking and a motorbike drove past and backfired from exhaust at 1 meter distance...
