Basically title. I’ve found mixed opinions online, but I’m worried Cetraxal might fuck up my T even more. I have light ear pain during random moments of the day. Doc said I have light ear canal irritation and prescribed Cetraxal for 5-7 days, depending on how I’m feeling.
Does anyone know/have experience with it and T? Ive been going through a rough patch the past few weeks with my T and I’m not sure if I should take the risk.

A few days ago I vented here because I lost my plugs in a club and thought that worsened my T permanently (I need new ones, reccs appreciated). The low buzzing on my right ear is basically my nemesis, even when I also have ringing on my left. I’m so used to the ringing but the buzzing is trickling into daily life.

The thing is after the concert I had bad days, but also good days. I thought it was getting better and returning to base point (which was only hearing it in complete silence, as it gets cut by sound). But today I woke up anxious as fuck and the buzzing is louder and louder.

But then yesterday I was in the bathroom in complete silence and it was like the buzzing was fighting to start sounding, but couldn’t. I sometimes get this complete silence moments and I unconsciously start waiting for it to start, but it doesn’t and it feels so good.

I usually play games at night before sleep with headphones. When I go to sleep immediately after, si don’t hear de buzzing for a few minutes and it feels amazing, but it slowly creeps in.

So what the fuck is up with that? What does it depend on? Why is the volume variable?

Also, lately I’ve started feeling very little ear pain on random moments for a couple minutes but it goes away. Any advise on that?

Edit: I’ll be taking a plane late June. I learned to depressurise my ears at will, so I get by with that. But is it dangerous?

i’ve had T since i was 14 after staying beside a loud speaker during a party. Since then my T has got worse and every time I’ve had to habituate to the sounds. I have ringing on both, low hum on right side. The thing is I’d always hear them while sitting in silence, but recently I started hearing my right ear low hum during the day and it got me freaked out.

I had got used to the low hum to such a point that I could ignore it at night, like it would even calm me and put me on sleep mode. I had been at peace with my T for a long while. But after losing my plugs during a party, I feel like the hum has got worse and it’s winning the battle. I know I should try not focusing on it and avoid reddit, but i’m so scared i might not be able to get used to it at some point, i’m scared of having depression, scared of hearing loss, of developing new sounds… and hugely scared of losing sleep cause of this shit. I was having good 8 hours sleep and recently found you can get woken up by the sounds and it’s driving me crazy. Had never thought about it.

It just hope this is a spike and it’s going away soon, but i’m afraid it’s staying forever.

PS. The thing with the low hum is that sounds cut it off completely, not like the ringing which just gets masked. When sounds are gone, the hum starts.
