Hey Zoomer925, nope I did not use ear plugs when I first noticed the ear thumping/spams. Mine just started out of nowhere, I just got done with talking on phone one day, and it just started. It did not stop for 24 hours later. Typically, the thumping will go on for 1.5 days, starts out rapidly at a rate of 2-3 per min, then the rate slowly tapers off and then just stops. I just came from an ENT and they recommend prescription Flonase. Perhaps if could be the eustachian tube, which could also cause/contribute to the ear thumping/spams. Anyhow, I'm going to try that, along with a mouth guard and a serious cut back on caffeine. I've also started taking more B-12, B-6 and Magnesium vitamins. The ENT I visited recommended those for the ear, specifically.
When your thumping is happening, do you notice any changes to hearing, like stuffiness. My ear start to exhibit changes in hearing and fullness/stuffiness. Then, once the thumping stops, my hearing will slowly return.
Yeah, I was considering CBD/THC but glad you mentioned paranoia and fixation, I can certainly see how that could happen. As for mushrooms, hmm, I did not think about that. I agree, I don't think I would venture that far, yet. BTW: That Beverly Hills ENT sounds cool.
Well my left ear is really sensitive to loud noises like plates doing dishes etc. My rights decent no sensitivity. It all started in my left ear then months later I eventually got in the the right. I always though it may be my estasiaun tube as well but when I was at UCSF they looked at it and said it looked normal but I’m not sure how they can even figure it out within that time frame, these doctors only spend like 10 minutes with you if your lucky. I barley even have enough time to explain my self. Better be careful cause they will hurt you !! I’m curious to see if the vitamins will help like the B12 etc. right now I’m on magnesium, stress b complex etc still no sign of relief. I notice my ears will feel plugged almost like my inner ear is moving in some ways. By any chance does your spasm on demand from a yawn or burp ? Cause mine does. Today I’m going thru hell, this made my life a living mess. I can’t get anything done I’m constantly suffering always worried. My life sucks I hate it. I’d be homeless right now if it wasn’t for my father. I can’t even hold a 9-5 anymore that’s how bad it is. And from what I’m seeing I’m not the only one dealing with this I see pages and pages and there’s no ENT that can help ? Crazy!! ..
They all got these degrees and can’t get shit done this is almost funny to me..
Make it seem like it’s all in my head like I’m some type of insane maniac.. I’m not tho.. I’m 120% convinced my ears are messed up they don’t feel normal .. not sure what to do anymore cause this has impacted my life so bad the beginning of it starting I got absolutely no sleep I stopped eating and then I started to have seizures cause I was so messed up.. no I’m not epileptic to they came from no sleep and no food that’s how bad this ear disease has impacted my life !!! I feel for anyone who has to go thru this and quiet frankly with the amount of technology we have and seeing that the military can grow a whole new ear in someone’s arm amazes me how this crappy medical industry is !!! They all carry them selfs so highly everyone looks up to a doctor like they’re a hero with a cape but not all of them are !! Like I said they will hurt you !! Some are weird and want to work on you cause of the anatomy behind it not cause they want that person to find comfort !!! These idiots got degrees and still not worth anything if you want my opinion!!! Anywho looks like my anger got the best of me today, forgot to mention I tried other medications like muscle relaxers and benzodiazepines still no help , I tried nasal spray &no help at all and I did allergy medications same to the ones your going to try.. I’m curious to see if anything helps ?? Not trying to burst your bubble but don’t get your hopes up with anything..
