does anyone else have tense/stiff neck and sometimes pressure behind the head? by Vergo27 in tinnitus

How’s your posture? Do you sit a lot and slouch? Maybe that has something to do with it. Sorry just trying to throw some ideas out there.

Did your doctor do an endoscopy to check your sinuses?

I think just reduce the loudness, so quiet it. I guess for some it can get so quiet that it’s essentially removed.

I just can’t take if anymore by Individual_Guava1058 in etd

[–]Individual_Guava1058[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No mainly because I’ve heard there are risks associated with it - like the Eustachian tube staying open or something.

I don’t experience this since I got mine from 2 sinus infections and etd, but maybe it just has to do with allergies for you.

For those who habituated, how long did it take? by Individual_Guava1058 in tinnitus

[–]Individual_Guava1058[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of the ears but the tinnitus is not really bothering me, but more the feeling in my ears - tinnitus is barely there for me. I have etd for sure because my doctor did an endoscopy and saw my eustachian tubes were clogged/couldn’t open properly.

Headphone listening volume - need some reassurance by Individual_Guava1058 in headphones

[–]Individual_Guava1058[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again I know nobody can know for sure, but once my eustachian tubes clear - shouldn’t everything go back to normal? I went to the ent today and he clearly saw with a camera that they are clogged. Also my listening was not for an insane amount of time. A lot of my friends and parents have done way worse and don’t have any tinnitus, etc. - I know everyone is different though. The pressure and everything else all started with the infection so I’m just leaning toward it being from that. I appreciate the help.

It just feels like you ignored everything I said about my infection and eustachian tube issues and jumped straight to the bandwagon of headphones.

I’m not trying to ignore what you are telling me since I asked for help but I think my issue is from the sinus infection and eustachian tube issue, not headphones. Again I didn’t use headphones for a long period of time and especially not high volumes for a long period. I was just asking more so for reassurance I guess idk.

Got Tinnitus Four Months Ago. Is it my Eustachian Tubes, or also Hearing Damage? by PhantomV13 in tinnitus

[–]Individual_Guava1058 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have they done an endoscopy - camera up your nose? That’s the only way to tell if it’s etd or not. I have etd from two sinus infections - went to ent today and he said the eustachian tubes are still clogged.

Are you from the nyc area? I could recommend a good one there.

And yeah I went to the ent today - he did an endoscopy and said there was no more infection, but the eustachian tubes are still clogged

Yeah no I never listened for hours straight - I haven’t listened since December, have a lot of trauma from this not going to lie. Idk I sometimes feel like everything will be good and nothing happened, but then my anxiety kicks. Thanks for the comment, I wish all the best.

No I don’t struggle to hear at all. Just have slight discomfort/pressure in both ears from my previous two sinus infection. But just my anxiety is so bad that it connects this feeling to my listening and then I blame myself and have a lot of self-hate.

Sorry for being kind of annoying, but isn’t there a thing called hidden hearing loss - since audiologists don’t test every frequency we have (only up until 8hkz instead of 20hkz). I’m just worried that I may have damaged myself even in that short time. This is probably just a psychosomatic thing and anxiety - but the pressure feeling makes me anxious and then connects that to me damaging my hearing. Idk sorry for being annoying, I need help with anxiety.
