I got regular T about 2.5 years ago and I noticed soon after that I could hear my heartbeat in my left ear only, and my regular T is mainly in my right ear only. I noticed the wooshing of my heartbeat in my left ear while pooping or if I had a head rush. Nothing too bothersome. Fast forward to about 1 week ago I noticed I could hear the wooshing at night while sitting on my bed. And no this isn’t because it’s quiet at night, I work from home a lot and I sit on my bed often all day working and never hear it, but lately sometimes. When I lay down it goes away, and goes away when I press my neck. Sometimes in the AM I will hear it too once I sit up. I have a vein CT scan coming up because I saw an ENT about it last week. I’m hoping it’s not stenosis or a brain tumor but who knows.

I also suffer from terrible allergies. I’m allergic to most animals and we recently got a dog.

Im trying to figure out what this could be but it’s terrible because I already have to deal with regular T and hypercaucis. I also have visual snow syndrome.. which all started around the same time 2.5 years ago.

Hello all, I am a busy person who has lost a lot of time brain rotting on my phone. In hopes to change this I am getting back into reading. Never noticed how much I enjoy horror books, or rather dark fiction. I have always like Anne Rice and Steven King, and admittedly love Sci Fi/fantasy. Picked up You Weren’t Meant to Be Human, and The Creeper. What would you say are the top 10 horror books every bookworm should read? TYIA

I’m 3 years in and really want to drink here and there. What are your experiences?

Possibly going to take Augmentin twice a day for 7 days? Any advice or experience will help. Anyone take this med for 7 days with tinnitus without issues or did you have issues? TYIA

Hello all, I have tinnitus, hyperacusis, and possible eustachian Tube Disfunction, got my CPAP last Tuesday have been using it for 5 days went from 21 events per hour to 0.4 right away each night. However the moment I put on the mask my left ear hurts, decided to go to urgent care yesterday and doc said both my eardrums are buldging and full of fluid.

I also have terrible allergies that I am managing with shots for the past month or so.

The moment I put the CPAP on my eardrums feel like it is under pressure, and while sleeping with the mask I wake up with so much water in the mouth area.

Decided not to sleep with the CPAP last night as I don’t want to make my ears worse and I also would like to protect the level of tinnitus I have and not make that worse. I have the kind of mask the is full face but also has the nose pillows blowing air up my nose.

I really need advice as I’m so lost…

I have tinnitus, ETD and allergies, I have the mask that blows air into your mouth and nose. I don’t want to make my ear ringing louder with damage. TYIA

Anyone here have sleep apnea and ETD with allergies and use a CPAP without issues? I just got my CPAP and am curious if the pressure will make my T worse.

I just picked up my resmed 11 and tried it out, very quiet and the air flowing through my nose felt amazing. What should I expect? How soon did you guys notice a difference. I have moderate OSA. Thank you in advanced.

Hello all, I’ve had tinnitus and hypercaucis for about 3 years now as well as VSS. I used to be a cannabis smoker before that and during onset I stopped because it made the ringing in my head louder. Took a 9 month break and then dabbled again with no effect thankfully. So I’ve been consuming for about 2 years with these conditions with no issues. Randomly on May 7th I noticed I am seeing tracers, now when I first got this condition I noticed tracers before but was so consumed by the ringing I didn’t pay attention.

For some reason my brain is paying attention to the tracers now. I suspect it’s because my tinnitus is so low I almost can’t hear it; or it’s so far in the background now. This has been the case in the past (December 2025) but I wasn’t focusing on tracers I was just enjoying my life.

I don’t know if these tracers are new or if I’m just focusing on them out of the blue… I love cannabis, it calms me and helps me with stress. I don’t know why this is happening now but I dunno.

I test it with my partner and she says she can see the tracers too, I can only see them in certain light with a dark background.. ugh.. I just want to enjoy my life man…

Does this sound like thc induced tracers? I don’t even know if I have HPPD but everyone in the VSS Reddit suggest to come here.

Does HPPD come and go? Or is it something like once you have it that’s what you’re going to see for the rest of your life? Like with the static I see and the ringing in my ears - I know that’s for life and constant. I need advice.
