@c_reider@sonomu.club @Lime@post.lurk.org forgive me for barging in - but I have had very severe / variable tinnitus as of the last 5 years, and despite doctors telling me an outer infection wouldn’t do this, it came as a result of a reoccurring double ear infection. (I had an initial milder tinnitus from a stupid 6 hour gig I played, but it was greatly worsened by the infections, and then even further by microsuction to sort one of them. So yeah, seems ear infections do this.) Either way, I became a bit obsessed with learning about tinnitus, hyperacusis and ear infections as a result…and have experienced a wild variety of tinnitus / hearing distortion “types” in a compressed period…in case any of you want to discuss these things. 😅 (I doubt anyone would.) But thoughts are with you; it’s not easy to deal with when the nervous system has spiked it. 🙏

    @Cognessence @Lime yeah, i mean, it's really not well understood at all from what i can gather. happily mine is just a constant chord of very high frequency sine tones, so i am able to ignore it when i need to. or even listen to it if i want to. a couple years ago i was taking a blood pressure medication that started giving me new tinnitus symptoms. the doctor insisted it wasn't the medication, because it wasn't listed as a side effect. but he was wrong. i switched meds & am fine now.

    @Cognessence @c_reider I've had noticeable and often "loud" tinnitus for a long time but I'm pretty sure it's linked to my sensory processing disorder because having trouble hearing properly and having weird auditive phenomenons despite no ear infection or anything isn't new. I can't properly process most of my senses lol it often exhausts me to deal with tinnitus + visual snow & other visual disorders and all the other variable sensory issues, not a lot I can do and not much I can say to a doctor lol
