MemberMy story continues. Something unbelievable happened yesterday and I want to share it as a hope for others.
I consider it a success, so I will post this in the Success Stories category.
You can read my full story and the things I tried here:

One day after the last of 15 HBOT treatments I went to get a medical massage.
It was an older physiotherapist that worked on my neck and shoulders with a lot of pressure. It hurt but in a good way. It was still in Hamburg shortly before I drove back to Berlin.
In the evening, I didn't feel well at all and went to bed very early so I don't have to feel bad and could just sleep instead.
The next day I felt like I could hear the deep frequencies a little better than before. I wasn't sure if it was true, especially because it was now already more than 2.5 months since the hearing loss and all the audiograms did not show any improvement for at least 1 month.
I tested with the Mimi iPhone app and it showed an improvement in the low frequencies. But I wanted to wait for an official audiogram by an ENT.
So I had my appointment yesterday.
Here is the result from July 2nd 2020:
The low frequencies improved significantly.
The ENT was very surprised. I was as well. I thought it was impossible that the hearing still could improve after such a long time without any improvement.
For comparison here is the audiogram from June 16th 2020:
And here is the audiogram from April 30th 2020:
It might be the after-effects of the HBOT, the strong neck massage, the medication, supplements, or a combination of all together.
One thing I also did about a week ago is sleeping without a pillow.
It was a bit uncomfortable during the first nights, but I saw a video where it was recommended to give some relief to the neck.
So right now i can hear the voices of the people around me much better than before. The hyperacusis became much better as well. Before, everything in my right ear sounded distorted and like a ring-modulator effect. That improved a lot as well.
My tinnitus is still there. But I feel it changing from time to time now. Sometimes it is just humming. Sometimes the high-frequency beep joins, sometimes it disappears. Something is happening in my ear.
I will keep up all the methods I have described in my story and will report if something changes.
I consider it a success, so I will post this in the Success Stories category.
