Yeah its weird its always changing, i can find it now when I listen fir it . When did your hearing kinda get back ti normal thats my main struggle

My hearings fine ( I think) yet to see an ENT or audiologist to test. Just have a hiss and quiet static morse code noise atm.Right now my head feels like it's just been hit by a brick

When i get around a bustling area my right ear starts acting weird, popping

How?

Can you lead me to some positive stories like mines please?

Some sometimes, especially at work when fans are going and people are talking at once( im a meat cutter) but i feel thats getting better( fingers crossed)

Try not pop your ear as much, it makes it worse.

It's either your eustachian tube or tympanic muscle. Would be my guess

How can i fix?

What do you mean when you say protect your ears?

If around anything than can be really loud

How did you get hyperacusis?

Sometimes. From what I’ve read, it will resolve/improve in most cases - once the hearing threshold stabilises.

Can you elaborate more on this? Or share article?

No not yet , do you think it could help i suffered fro a sudden acoustic trauma about 5 weeks ago , ear feels weird numb , dull hearing , and i cant stop trying to pop my ear.

I fear it’s permanent hearing loss

It could help bring the fullness feeling come down

@danielthor do you have some hearing loss? I feel i do in right ear , i really notice in crowd or lots of background noise, im really worried cause my job in retail demands me to interact with people all day long. Fans are always on at work im in meat department, dont know how i will adjust , have you any experience with this ?

@Bry No, sorry. I have no hearing loss. Fortunate enough to be in a position where I don’t have to work, don’t have to do anything. I’m probably not the right person to ask for advice. I would just maybe try and get a diagnosis and go on sickleave and self-isolate for a few months if possible

@danielthor thank you

@Bry Eating and talking gave me severe spikes in T. I was at a point where I was considering starving, but luckily I was able to progress without taking those measures. I can eat and talk again now and even drive. By setback I mean going back in the process, having the treshold for sound deminish and spiking to low-level noise again.

I’m In a setback right now after overexposing myself to music again. It will be a couple of days of rest before I’m back to being able to tolerate it in short bites

Here is the pathology of recovery after a noise trauma damages inner hair cells:

This is why I feel it is important to take some kind of NMDA antagonist after an acoustic trauma. As of right now there is one in clincal trials, oto-313, but there are supplements that can also help.. most notably NAC.

@kingsfan is it to late to try NAC 5weeks plus after injury?

I honestly don’t know, but you should try it anyway because you honestly never know what might work.
