Seeking advice Nonstop fullness after setback

7 Upvotes

Has anyone else experienced this? I am 3 days into this. I was exposed to sound on a Bluetooth speaker at about 110 dB for around 5-10 minutes after I was mostly recovered from 2 prior injuries, and now for the past 3 days I have had uncontrollable ear fullness, inner ear pain, and rawness. It doesn't go away after sleeping or resting in silence. I did not have any pain at the time of exposure but woke up the next day with increased sensitivity.

I am not sure what to do.

Seeking advice Where is a safe place to talk through suicidal ideation from nox with a professional?

Has anyone found a space to do this? I would like to bring it up with a therapist but I don't trust them not to send me to a ward. A ward would obviously be devastating and dangerous to me, as I am a young woman with autism living in inner city Atlanta without health insurance.

Other TIL that in 2018, a 14-year-old girl named Cindy Redmond had an air horn blasted into her ear by her friend's stepfather after she wouldn't get off her phone. This caused her to develop hyperacusis, a rare hearing disorder which makes any small noise cause her immense pain.

Symptom Check Noise-induced post-nasal drip

1 Upvotes

So among the symptoms which keep pilling up month after month (everything started after I have been given an ototoxic medication + acoustic trauma), I developed post-nasal drip a few months ago. I have the strongest feeling it's connected to my cochlear damage. How, I don't know, maybe it's because of the middle ear / ET muscles.

I was browsing the treatment page and saw this report :

Ok so he has problems with his middle ear muscles, any convincing theory about how it can lead to PND ?

I've also read a post on tinnitustalk from someone complaining about clogged nostrils after developing a myriad of symptoms from neomycin (T+H among them).
