      I can relate to your story. So sorry for your suffering. It’s stacking. Gets worse with every noise exposure. Like me the ear muffs must be torcher for you. If I put mine on it’s deafening. I actually can not longer endure it. I get what you are saying in my other posts. The truth is mine is really bad and getting worse. I don’t think I have it on me to close myself off to silence.

      @dan How long have you had severe T and H? Do you think you've seen any improvement since your onset?

        Working on 8 years of catastrophic tinnitus and hyperacusis; no improvement and it only gets worse.

        Since 2011. I had 2 success stories since, but this time I feel its not gonna happen. First time after 5 years got to about 50% improvement. Lost it all in 2019 even worse than onset, got 30% back until a week ago was hit with a super bang (a form of firework) and im worse than ever now. This time it feels like hopelessly stuck on overdrive tinnitus gear. Could possibly be Travis Henry level now.

      Dan,

      Fromy understanding you had a nice period of time where your t was more stable before going to a wedding -- how long did it take your tinnitus to become more stable?

        And do you have any advice on how to proceed from here? Audiologist gave me filtered musicians earplugs but right now I can't really even go outside without a seemingly permanent spike. Just... wait?

        I guess around 2 years since onset for it to stabilize. But it was never reactive tinnitus, it was just gradually getting worse with noise exposures. It then got a little better and stabilized (still unmaskable heard everywhere), I could tolerate even Pomeraninan dog barking in a room...Im now worse off than ever, I must wear muffs outside or risk a car honk making me worse.

        Thanks for responding. Yea I got royally screwed with withdrawing from Clonazepam so I'm hoping it will chill out with just resting my ears. I have severe hyperacusis from this too, as in any sounds are extremely painful, so I'm assuming as that calms down the reactiveness will too

      Hi Dan, I noticed you are from Toronto. I'm from Toronto as well. Although I'm stuck in Southeast Asia for the moment until I get back.

      I'm looking up different audiologists in Toronto for hyperacusis therapy. Do you have any recommendations or experience with any in the GTA?

      Hey Dan, hope you’re doing well. I saw that you had an acoustic trauma which worsened your tinnitus and made you prone to further increases from relatively ordinary noise. I’ve been experiencing that for 3 months following a trauma. Do you have any advice or insights to share for someone early on? Feels like my symptoms are spiraling out of control

        It’s a lot worse from just having dinner at home with a couple people last night. We were even good about keeping noise down. The tinnitus keeps stacking, does it ever settle back to baseline or up only?

        Better not agitate it in the early stage.

        Everything agitated it this is insane. Guess I gotta go complete silence now because even mild noise exposure is killing me

      Hello Dan, in one of the earliervposts you mentioned that you had severe ear pain from hyperacusis and managed to bring that down "to a manageable level""within 1.5 years. How did you do that. Just silence? Thank you for your reply. Christian
