TTTS Symptoms with No Trigger

ahhh ok

 

[OnceUponaTime]

he only thing that holds me back from talking about this with my co-workers, with the students, etc., is the thought that one of those people might be assholian enough to set off the fire alarm.

Eye opener for me!
You got me thinking.
People can be mean and cruel.

Are you a teacher?

 

[Bill Bauer]

Eye opener for me!

I also thought about this only after I "came out" to some of my co-workers regarding my T.

Are you a teacher?

I am a university instructor.

 

[OnceUponaTime]

I am a university instructor. I had contemplated educating my students about T, but the thought that some of them might want to use this information against me, made me reconsider.

You are right, don't.
And what do you teach, if I may ask?

For some reason, I thought you had severe t.

I was going to write a private message to you, but your settings don't seem to allow it. In any case, I am worried about maintaining my privacy (so I was going to give you a somewhat vague response). I also don't want to jinx my T, so I would rather not talk about my volume level.

Hi Bill, I'm not sure why you cant private message me. Hmmm … Interesting I tried private messaging Valeri and another member here and I couldn't either.

No worries, I dont want you jinxing yourself. I was just conversing with you Bill. I do understand your concerns about keeping certain things private on here. See you around ok.
Have a good day,
Once

tinnitus and especially hyperacusis with pain seem to develop almost exclusively in hearing loss, tinnitus has some exceptions but not hyperacusis with pain outside of head trauma.

I got hyperacusis and tinnitus after a TBI (head trauma) so I second this.

In the past, I would often experience the symptoms of TTTS. I would hear a fluttering in my ear whenever I would stop talking. Sometimes I would hear it when other people stopped talking, or following some other sounds.

Earlier this evening, for about five minutes, I had felt/heard random fluttering in my ear for no reason. I had been sitting in a quiet room and there were no sounds to trigger it. Yet, I still heard and felt it flutter once every 0.5-10 seconds.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like that?

Do you still have crackling? My fullness is gone but I still have crackling sometimes without a reason, like before I go to sleep.

 

[Bill Bauer]

Do you still have crackling?

It went away. I hope that, in time, yours will eventually be gone too.

Great to hear! What do you think the crackling was caused by? How long did it take to resolve?

I am pretty sure that the cause was TTTS. It mostly went away after about a year, however I wrote the post that you quoted when I was about 21 months in. So it continued popping its head up at random for I would say another year and a half (around 2.5 years in total)...

Okay thanks for answering! I think it's caused by some muscles. Did your ear also sometimes pop?

I think it did, but I can't be sure.

I don't have tinnitus or so. It's just the fullness feeling that has almost completely gone away but they sometimes crackle and pop.

My problems began with a fullness feeling and TTTS. When I saw an audiologist for a hearing test before my appointment with an ENT, she did a tympanometry test, and my tinnitus turned on that evening. The feeling of fullness went away in a couple of months. In any case, make sure to avoid that tympanometry test, and don't do the other hearing tests unless you have a really good reason to do so.

Thanks for the advice!!! Did you also have an acoustic trauma?

Did you also have an acoustic trauma?

For a fraction of a second, a sonic toothbrush came into contact with the opening of my ear canal...

I have read this many many times. It helped me a lot when I developed cramping style TTTS. Which, touch wood, is almost gone or at least in remission or weakening.

By the way, it doesn't make a flat out statement that it is solely caused by inner ear damage.

Do you still have TTTS?
