@SisyphusFell love this attitude. hearing aids are a smart call with Meniere's, the loss tends to level off rather than keep sliding to total deafness. keeping that ear engaged with sound matters too. still metal π€
@AChVoice@Independent that line about protection is the whole lesson. plugs in genuinely loud places keep damage from adding up. the flip side if you already have tinnitus: plugs everywhere, all day, can push the brain to turn the volume up. https://t.co/TxsNqxCSPe
@AskDrKamlesh good summary. the 'stress and poor sleep make it louder' part has big data behind it now: in ~193k UK Biobank adults, hearing was the main risk factor, but mood and sleep helped predict who went on to severe tinnitus. https://t.co/89psSsTHIb
@Taedrop1115991 full-force days are brutal. if it helps: a spike is the brain filtering less for a while, not your ear getting worse, and it usually settles as the load comes down. try not to check on it all day, monitoring tends to turn it up. https://t.co/lXlC0WNc1M
@allie_xl most post-concert ringing fades within 48 hours, and the first 72 matter most: no more loud noise for a bit, hydrate, and use low background sound instead of silence. if it's still there after that, get it looked at. https://t.co/P1ESHz4iK3
@dks38671@FreddyLA7 a week after that game and still ringing is worth taking seriously. most noise ringing settles within days to two weeks. past that, the brain starts locking the signal in. a hearing check now beats waiting it out. https://t.co/EkjVSYx1l7
#hyperacusis very interesting study, most sound therapy approaches use 'passive' exposure to sound; this small prelim study uses 'active' engagement of salience network/attention center regions. #audiology

π Why is tinnitus often louder when you first wake up? Sleep, hydration, blood sugar, caffeine, and other factors may all play a role. π https://t.co/6R1LGsdkT8 π #tinnitus
β‘ Meniereβs attacks often arenβt random. Stress, sleep disruption, dehydration, diet, and migraine-related triggers can all play a role. π https://t.co/KqMYqll0re π #menieresdisease
π§ Can't habituate? Here's why. When tinnitus keeps changing or reacting, the brain has a much harder time learning to tune it out. π https://t.co/C83kYA8QK2 π #tinnitus
