Tenacious Tinnitus Club – Ear Pressure, Noise and Hyperacusis

[[Buddie]]

mine is more of sizzling sound in the brain.
got this crap about year and a half ago(19 months) after mixing triazolam, retoril, and klonopin for two days.
it's not getting any better. in fact, it seems to be getting worse lately.
crossing my fingers that this will not be permanent along with other[...] symptoms.
thank you for this thread [...].

does anyone have this sizzling sound in the brain?
mine is getting worse as time goes by. sigh.

hi [...]
i got it a few mo before i c/t.

its really Loud. my left ear is the worst.

i dont think theres much i [...]. i keep fan, radio, on.

I've been noticing that I get this on and off in my cuts, very mildly until this last cut that had some lag. I thought I would pop in and ask you all about it. It's in my right ear and there are times I don't have it. Right now I'm holding primarily for this, some blurry vision and days with a bit of anxiety that aren't my norm. I let it carry over a little bit into each cut for the last three cuts because it was so small then this cut, when I get my side effect days it would get loud and I'd get headaches.

I'm looking for some input... would you recommend holding for it? I've seen people keep cutting with it, but since mine seemed to get worse, I'm thinking at some point holding for it would be smart. But I don't know if it goes away once you start getting it.

What would you all recommend? Thanks!

I'm sorry that you all have to deal with this. I can't imagine how bad it is for some of you. I hope it gets better soon for everyone here.

i do have the tinnitus just a little if you can believe it after this c/t. i also have an on-going sizzeling sound [...] but my most pressing ear symptoms are the hyperacusis and misphonia. the misphonia isn't talked about too much. what it is is "a hatred of sound"... it's different than hyperacusis which is a sensitivity to sound and where one can hear frequencies from a very far away place and certain frequencies that are way too loud. it's almost like being an animal except i don't think they have the hatred of sound.

thanks God, i only have about 5 main noises and sounds that absolutely make me enraged otherwise i don't hate all sound--that would be quite unbearable to have that with all sounds.

thanks for starting this thread [...]!

by the way i am noticing the hyperacusis getting a little better but it's very slow along with everything else.

Hi [...]

I just wanted to come and wish you and everyone on this thread good luck with their symptoms and hope they clear as soon as possible.

My T is one of the worst and most tenacious sxs I have. It started at two weeks post my jump and was like a mix of a tea pot whistling and a dentist drill. It's mostly in my left ear. The good news is that for the first three months it was constant 24/7. It has since then settled into a cycle of the 1 day of torture and 1 to 2 days where it's significantly diminished. I would sure like to know the medical reason for it.

I notice that mine is worse when my other s/x are worse . .  nausea, cog fog. Then I'm truly miserable. At its worst it is accompanied by hyperacusis  which is so bad that I feel noises in my body and it's [...] agonizing. I have to go to my bedroom and close the door because my partner making dinner in the kitchen and making normal kitchen sounds is too much for me. This all goes away when my valium starts to work after I take it around 6 p.m. Grotesque.

And as I said earlier, some days are worse than others.

BTW I am going to split my valium dose because my s/x are so awful and I will let you all know if the tinnitis gets any better. I sure hope so. Actually the tinnitus I could live with. It's the hyperacusis that is excruciating.

Mine does the same thing except it can ramp up with side effects as well. Right now is a notable side effect day with the vibrations and I have a headache, some tinnitus and blurry vision with a tad of dizziness. Initially it was more random, but it can get worse with side effects or when [...] upticks for me as well. It's like everything amps up with side effects or more [...].

sorry you are feeling so unwell. I hope you feel better soon.

I know what you mean OMG. The hyperacusis is truly awful. Hearing sounds and having them make your ears vibrate is bad enough but feeling them in your body is really the pits. It's like your body is being assaulted by sound waves. Fortunately this doesn't happen unless I am really sick.

Crossing my fingers. [...] I updose and begin splitting my doses to cover the hours when I feel the worst s/x.

Crossing my fingers again!

I think that it will help. If you have a portion of the day that you are feeling symptoms worse while taking your dose only once a day then that sounds like interdose [...] to me. And the updose should stabilize you from and [...] you might have had from going faster than your body heals.
