I've started obsessing over misophonia since it was brought up here and now it feels like I'm actively seeking out sounds and checking if I feel weird, while constantly being anxious that I'll encounter something weird. As I've mentioned, this suddenly happened over night, the day before I even...

The thing is, I haven't had a problem with daily sounds until I started worrying about my hearing two days ago, only slamming cutlery but I've always been sensitive to that and I don't really view that as a problem because I don't encounter it overly often and I can stay away from it often...

I've been obsessively analysing everything I hear for the past two days, my hearing felt just fine before that. Now that I've started worrying like crazy, it feels like I can't tolerate hearing sounds at all, like everything feels demanding to listen to somehow. Seeing that this literally...

Has anyone else experienced a decreased sound tolerance when anxious/stressed? Not that it's painful or such, but rather that it feels slightly overwhelming and like you want things to be calm around you?

My current problem is that I'm obsessively analysing every sound I hear because I'm afraid of both hyperacusis and misophonia. I have for as long as I can remember been more sensitive to sounds in the morning before I've fully woken up, now that I'm worrying about my hearing I interpret this as...

Which part sounds like misophonia? Part of my anxious worries have been focused on misophonia as well, I was obsessing about that for a while too, being afraid of it. When I mentioned that I sometimes feel like things are annoyingly loud, that's when I'm worrying about conditions and actually...

I have always been sensitive to certain sounds for as long as I can remember and I've just accepted it at part of life. It was only when I started with music on a more serious level that I started to develop sort of a phobia of damaging my hearing, having always had good hearing. I've had light...

I have had an incredibly high pitched tinnitus sound in both ears since yesterday morning as well, it almost feels like ultrasound in that I barely hear it but instead feel it as a piercing feeling in my ears. Ironically enough, it seems to decrease in intensity when there are no sounds around...

My right ear's frequency curve seems to be a bit different compared to my left ear since I started noticing this and the muffled feeling persists, although I managed to pop my ear a little while ago and it suddenly felt better, although things still sounded a bit different. Doesn't anyone here...

My sudden hearing loss has kind of stuck, most of it came back within a minute or a few minutes after it happened, but I still have a slightly stuffed feeling even now a few days after it happened. I don't know if it's due to my nose being stuffy or not, but I'm sure as hell scared.

I experienced fleeting tinnitus Monday this week, it was a pretty loud tone and a significant muffled feeling in my right ear. The tinnitus noise went away relatively quickly, within a minute or so, but the muffled/stuffed ear feeling didn't go away completely. I became quite scared of this as...
