Sensing Ground: Beyond Symptoms and Navigating Bodily Sensations
Episode β€’ Mar 22, 2023 β€’ 1h 32m
Joey Remenyi from Seeking Balance offers a Q&A call on the topic of Neuroplasticity for Complex Tinnitus and Hearing Loss.

During this call we discuss:

πŸŒ€ Hyperacusis (disorder in loudness perception)
πŸŒ€ Acoustic Shock Injury (trauma response to unexpected loud sound)
πŸŒ€ Noise Induced Hearing Loss or Tinnitus
πŸŒ€ Misophonia (emotional reaction to common sounds)
πŸŒ€ Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS)

All of the above conditions could be related to TTTS...

More about Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS)
TTTS is a tightening of the tensor tympani muscle in the middle ear that acts as a protective mechanism for loud sounds, reducing mobility of the eardrum and middle ear system. This is a natural startle reflex which in the case of TTTS has become overactive and can result in symptoms such as:

πŸŒ€ blockage, pressure or fullness in the ear
πŸŒ€ β€œpopping” or crackling noises around the ear
πŸŒ€ Pain, numbness or burning sensations in and around the ear
πŸŒ€ the development of tinnitus or an increase in pre-existing tinnitus
πŸŒ€ pain in the jaw or neck
πŸŒ€ clicking/fluttering sensations around the ear
πŸŒ€ mild vertigo/unsteadiness/dizziness
πŸŒ€ muffled/distorted hearing

We talk about the nervous system, trauma patterns and reversing symptom loops and making best use of our residual hearing and neural function.
