- Acoustic trauma/Headphone use/Bad temper
Hello everyone, been lurking the forums for a few days now as my T and H started around 2 weeks ago.
I'm a stay at home dad.
Been playing a lot of computer games with headphones recently, been under a lot of stress as well.
My temper hasn't been in check these days, been raising my voice/shouting on a weekly basis.
When the T onset started, my ears were feeling full and started to notice a high pitched hissing in my head. (both ears, i guess)
A few days after the onset and went to a local Japanese EENT.
Standard audiogram 8khz shows not hearing loss, never did a 12khz.
Ear pressure was good, no signs of redness of the eardrums.
No vertigo/dizziness.
I started off with 7 + 14 days meds:
Prednisolone 5mg 1x a day
Rebamipide - protects the GI from toxicity from meds/possibly used for aged related hearing loss here in Japan.
Adetphos KOWA 10% - brain blood flow med (I think this is not FDA approved in the US)
Kallidinogenase - supposedly dizziness med/widens peripheras blood vessels
B12 500mg
After the 7 days of prescription i went back and he gave me another 14 days of the same meds.
Caught a cold 5 days in. I refused to take any painkiller/antibiotics for it as i am avoiding anything ototoxic.
9 days in, cold seems to be going away - no noticeable T spikes from it.
After 10 days feeling better from cold, on a whim i decided to go to a local barber iv'e never been to before.
I was caught off guard when the haircut was finished, they had this vacuum cleaner with a brush on it - he vacuum cleaned the hair from behind my ears, neck, head etc.!
It was on MAX power and because of my H, i got frozen from shock and was not able to stop him until he was done with it. Took him a few good seconds to clean up the little hairs around my neck.
That night my T spiked! i was so anxious and was blaming myself even more. How could i have let that happen during this onset!?
Well now a few days after that, T level is a bit higher from when it started, anxiety is a bit better but i'm still scared.
