oh?
I don't want to give out my personal info.
Stay strong and remember that most of us are in the same situation...
No one asked you to.
Offered to buy you the book, dude. I also offered to take pictures / scans of the important 10-20 pages and just send them to you. No money. No personal info.
I've linked you to a ton of TMJ resources which list many more (but not all) of your symptoms as TMJ related.
Try a short course of prednisone maybe?My ear is in more pain again.
It's so frustrating. How does both my tinnitus and ear pain dramatically reduce for a short period of time (approximately 2 hours) only to worsen and increase? I don't know what it was or what caused it.
I can't wear muffs all the time.
That two hours was a relief and I don't consider the t mild then so maybe moderate but it was a significant and welcome change. At this moment of this post, the t is screaming. I bet it's at least 70 dB. I don't want to live when it's like this and if it's like this most of the time, I want to do whatever I need to stop it even if it means I am not alive anymore.
My family dr won't prescribe me that. I tried to get it before. Even went to ER.
I feel you exactly. I've been coping just fine with my tinnitus but recently started with the distortions. It's been devastating. The shower used to be my safe space where I couldn't hear my tinnitus. Now it's a whistling screeching hellhole. I'm worried eventually all frequencies will be distorted and then I'll be deaf. Isolated. Unable to communicate. What a life, I'm only 19 and it's already nearing the end. I can feel it.
I literally caused my own T by listening to stupid loud music. It was very hard for me to forgive myself for ruining my life. I was finally able to forgive myself when I came to the understanding that there was no way in hell I could have known what the consequences would be for playing that loud music. Once I truly forgave myself, my mental healing process could begin.
. I use to think this same way. No way could I deal with this torture for the next 40 years. I payed a lot of money to a very good Psychiatrist who told me not to futurize my thoughts. In other words why worry about 40 years from now? I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Why suffer all that worrying and anxiety for nothing? The only thing that matters is right here and now. No one is guaranteed tomorrow much less 40, 50, 60 years from now.
My left ear has some pain now. The event was 3 to 4 hours ago. I am told that there can be a delay in ear pain. But, that makes no sense to me!!! :-( Is that true? A delay of hours after a particular loud noise and then ear pain?!? I don't know when a loud noise will happen!!! Am I supposed to wear ear plugs in stores?!? The last time I wore plugs a lot, I think the pressure from the foam on my ear canal caused pain. You might want to see a jaw and facial pain doctor to check your jaw to see where the pain is coming from.My ear pain is really bad in the muscle? Is it a muscle? Right near the bottom of the ear in the joint area at the bone. What is that? Is it equally likely TMJ or hyperacusis or more likely one rather than the other?
I should hope it's TMJ? That is easier to treat or can noise induced pain ever go away? My ear pain seems very frequent and the main problem is when I get it, it persists indefinitely.
It can also appear randomly at a moderate or severe level but almost always ends up at a severe level for days or even weeks.
Did you go to the store without earplugs? You have to protect yourself from people.
I said I wasn't wearing any. I stopped wearing plugs because the ringing is so loud and before, plugs were causing pain from pressure on the ear canal - I assume.
