    I am trying to understand the mechanism behind my reactive tinnitus. I’m unsure of the underlying model or cause that makes it react. If anyone has insights, please let me know. I've had tinnitus since 2004, but the reactive type started about two months ago.

    Second Acoustic Trauma: Seeking Advice on Ear Fullness/Pressure

    Thanks for the update. I picked up Flonase and Zyrtec from my local CVS today. I’ll give them a try and hopefully get some relief from this.

    Hi @kingsfan, I’m following up on our previous discussion. I have loudness hyperacusis and moderate noxacusis. My tinnitus tends to flare up when I listen to anything on a phone speaker, which is unfortunately something I do often for work, especially on Zoom calls. Are you still using the...
