Pressure changes screw with my tinnitus. Also plugs the ears up.
Tinnitus
- Thread starter giles
- Start date
Don’t notice a difference today but to be honest it has gotten pretty bad over the last few months. Probably wouldn’t notice a difference.
I need to quit opening this thread. Most of the time I ignore it or maybe it just isn't too terrible. Whenever I read this thread I begin to notice it again. Lol

Tinnitus is your brain sending a signal to your ears to see if they are working due to hearing damage over the years. Its like a constant mic check if there is no noise. Just make sure there is always noise around. Fan, low music, etc.

Think I ruptured my left eardrum yesterday at some point. Red fluid last night and sore, but sinuses and ears feeling plugged the last couple days.

I can hear a water drip, air leaking in a tire, and other noises that I would think a lot of people couldn't. I'll be damned if I can't hear my wife on the other side of the house ask me a question 3 rooms and 6 walls away at a volume barely louder than a whisper. But I'm deaf as she tells me 10 times a week. I just have to remind her that my brain has purposely blocked the frequency of her voice as a defense mechanism against mental torture.
That ain't it. It's because they never shut the F up! Becomes white noise after so much.
Your wives talk? I mean, mine might talk, but I've never noticed. 
I kid. I kid. I love my wife. I do admit though, there are times I hear her voice and have no clue what she said.

She's always bitching about me not listening to her. I don't know I don't pay attention.

Well, went and finally got the hearing eval. Yep, fitted for hearing aids and January 25 for getting them. After the test the Dr said my hearing can best be described as trying too read a sentence when each word is missing a few letters. The louder the room the lesser the letters….
Our kids were in for the holidays, with a house full of people and dogs, I couldn’t hear much of the conversations and was getting frustrated. Got too the point I was staying away from them and spending time outside with the dogs. At one point my son texted me and said quit being antisocial and join in the family time. It struck a nerve…. I called the VA Tuesday, got in Thursday and got the ball rolling.
I was letting my inability too hear what was going on, affect my family time… That’s coming too a stop…. So hopefully these will allow me too better hear what I’ve been missing….. Who knows, I might actually be able too hear conversations around the campfire at stroud’s this year!

That turnaround time is unheard of! I had an appointment in the fall for getting my hearing aid test…the facility had a power outage and the had to reschedule me..for January!! I’m in the same boat as you, not being able to hear people and also the tv. Constantly asking the wife “what did he say”. Hope it works out for you as I should be following right behind in getting hearing aids.
