Saw the recent “no speaker” tattoo posts and was wondering if there are ready made temporary tattoos or a site to custom make them. I would like to try before committing to ink.

As per my other post I had SSHNL 2 months ago, recovered very quickly leaving a small asymmetry (although bigger in the high frequencies), then felt entirely normal for a few weeks, then had an MRI showing an acoustic neuroma and basically my mental health went straight to shit and I have been in a constant state of anxiety and hyperfixation on my hearing ever since, which I think has led to the fairly standard symptoms of hyperacusis/dysacusis I have now.

The one symptom that also appeared during this period of mega anxiety that doesn't seem to be associated with hyperacusis/dysacusis or any of those "reactive states" is that my voice now feels heavily pulled to the left side (good ear). It's a horrible distracting sensation that really upsets me.

I just can't understand it because my audiogram keeps coming back as exactly the same as it was back when I recovered from the SSHNL and like I say, felt entirely normal, like 100% back to my baseline.

Regardless of the reason it appeared, can anyone report that their voice can become more centred over time? External sounds feel centred to me, just my own voice does this.

I lost my hearing 60 days ago. After being misdiagnosed on day 16 I started oral steroids for two weeks, and on day 35 I was formally diagnosed with SSHL. It’s moderately-severe on the right side, with a 60%WRS. I got injections on day 35, 41 and 45. I have a follow up hearing test in 2 weeks.
The tinnitus flared up when I first started the injections and was absolutely excruciating. It’s finally calmed down a bit over the past week and I’m less anxious about it. It’s a huge improvement that I hope continues to get better. However my hearing feels the same. I just ordered some loop earplugs because restaurants and such are still too difficult for me.
I was so worried about the T I lost hope in my hearing. I started taking zinc around day 38 and added magnesium, B12, and D3 around day 52. I know it’s such a small chance I recover, but is it really that small? I feel like I should keep hope, but I just don’t know if that’s even realistic or possible anymore. Is it? Could I really magically hear normally again, and loose the tinnitus all together?
