eh? Tell me more.

@danielthor @Damocles here you go https://thetacticalmarket.com/archives/13507/explosive-growth-on-hyperacusis-drug-market-2021-2028-global-companies-like-gsk-pfizer-teva-mylan-sun-pharma-novartis-abbott-bayer/

Good find @Foamearplugssuck!

Looks like our conditions are finally attracting some REAL attention. No bad thing.

I don't know your current circumstances @Foamearplugssuck. But I have double glazing and all my air vents sealed up for this reason.

I went through the same thing for years before this stroke of genius....

Would the same be possible for you?

@Stacken77 nope, window is closed, but my room is close to the street. Might have to start sleeping with earplugs as well :-/

@Damocles not sure.....I’d have to take it up with my parents since I’m living at their house for the time being. But I’ll definitely look into it.

We should try and use this to our advantage. Can you even imagine how good music is going to be once you’re able to listen to it again? To rediscover the world of music? How many people in the world get to do that? Only those who have lost it will have this privilege. We will have this privilege!

@danielthor Thumbs up to that comment! Actually got me excited thinking about it :)

1966 original, or the (2000) Limp Bizkit version?

It sucks, but at least it's music you really like. Hang in there, man.

I love that song and listen to it often to relax. I'm sorry that you're going through this. <3

@kuromi thank you, I love that song [and nurture] too! In a weird way it's nice to be able to hear it in my head since Porter's music has helped me so much. it's definitely better than really dissonant tinnitus too imo.

For what it's worth, I've had less and less of this ever since I stopped wearing earplugs most of the day.

hm that's interesting. definitely another point in the "wear earplugs less" camp.

My entirely unscientific theory for why it happens more when you plug up: the brain hears muffled sounds/songs/etc and tries to interpret them with limited information. It gets stuck in this process, recreating the sound over and over.

me,too,. Like the sound of a bowstring

I got the bowstring too:D

@Stacken77 usually I dont. lately though I hear a high pitched whistle whenever I flush the toilet, but that's the only sound my tinnitus seems to react to.

@Foamearplugssuck Has your baseline T improved anything since this post?

@Stacken77 I can't even hear my baseline T anymore....it was pretty quiet. I think my auditory hallucinations are masking it.

Residence under the bed would be easier to explain, @Exit.

Well @Stacken77 if you’re a cat perhaps:)
Hugs

LOL @Stacken77!!

I've heard worse suggestions from Doctors.

Next time I meet one of those fascists, I'm gonna tell them to just write me a prescription for a closet!! XD

@Foamearplugssuck no one could predict the future. I am sure you are still a blessing to your mom despite it not feeling that way. X

Perhaps TTTs ?

❤️

Your friends don’t know how lucky they are. That’s the up-side to getting this, normal life will feel like a blessing once you get it back

@danielthor Normal life would feel totally unreal, out of this world, a blessed dream.

@Stacken77 it's pain hyperacusis. and they were meeting at panera, which is a pretty loud environment. my hyperacusis is recent so I'm trying to take it really easy on my ears to let them recover as much as possible.

I’m very sorry to hear that. I only have some mild sound sensitivity that I have been improving by gradually increasing the tv volume over the past 10 months. I only use high quality speakers. Regular tv speakers make everything worse.

I found that using monitors made my symptoms worse. I think my ears are tired and need a good, long break from listening to things. Glad to hear your sensitivity is improving though!

Thanks. I hope you feel better soon too sounds like you have a solid plan in place.

Your 30’s, and 40’s and the rest of your life is going to be amazing precisely because of this though. Nobody will love life more than us

The 20s are overrated. Focus on where you go from there.

It is very recent, keep in mind it can very well fade away in the coming months.

@Julien87 My internship was back in 2019. my T didnt fade at all. recently it has gotten worse and I'm now in the early stages of hyperacusis. I'm so tired.

My bad, I thought you posted your first thread in June of this year. Hang in there..

Because of nerve inflammation.
