What you do to get some sleep?

I blast my sound oasis machine loudly and put on fan in the room. This allows me somewhat to mask my T. My T is very loud.

@threefirefour how do you sleep during the nights? Do you have a sound machine?

I never used a sound machine. My room is 30dB and that's the way I like it. Even when I had bad tinnitus. Now it's just a lot harder to hear. Not that I'm complaining.

Your T reduced? You lucky b******** lol (no offense).
 
I hope the pain and the h goes away.
Today the burning was less and I drove like 9 miles to wholefoods, got some stuff , i had pretty much discomfort, less pain... It's just that i feel the ear with some type of pain and discomfort all the time.

Im not sure yet but the neurologist wants to try a trigeminal nerve block....

Yeah that's my thing. I used to have really BAD tinnitus. Could easily hear it over everything and it was so loud I had a hard time hearing people talk because of it.

My first big reduction was cleaning my earwax after a year. Reduced the volume by a TON. My next big reduction was clearing my ETD.

Basically you are close to normal.

Well now you know what I experience every day since Jan 17. ON top of that bad Hyperacusis.

You have pain all the time? or is it when only exposed to sounds?

that is terrible. are you sure the acoustic trauma did that and its not something more?
I had ct scan and mri done. I had an intratympanic injection 2 weeks after trauma and two weeks later he did the myrintonomy... I dont know if that has something to do.... I overdue the valsa maneuver...
 
By too much stressed of how i felt that night, i started openning the jaw wide few times until it made a cracking sound.... Now tmjd also and myofacial pain....
 
If you're curious, I cant go into detail, but me having Pichu as my profile picture is a homage to a great woman.

I have a swollen preauricular lymph node, could this cause hyperacusis? This is a lymph node right in front of an ear.

Congrats:). Did you have ETD since the beginning of your T? How did you clear it?
 
Not all, but some tinnitus research combines pusatile and actual tinnitus, but does not include hearing loss, phantom pain and TMD research. That's because it's based on treating the emotional side effects not targeting the condition itself.

A vascular and an audiotory brain condition that share nothing in common but certain superficial aspects of distress in there sufferers lumped together.

Things aren't classified based on their technical properties, they are just grouped together based on superficiality.

That's how you know the research doesn't aim for a cure. It's just a hugbox.
