Hi, I read your post, and I am dealing with the same issues—hyperacusis (loudness) and tinnitus—after experiencing barotrauma and acoustic trauma in July 2024. I feel like the problem with hyperacusis is coming from the brain, as if my brain has turned up the volume on every sound. Cars, for...

Thank you all for your replies 🥰 We are all in the same boat, and I hope we will all improve over time with these challenging conditions. Palinacusis seems to be a common symptom for those experiencing hyperacusis. At first, I was worried that I was experiencing something like schizophrenia, so...

Thank you for your reply, @Nettles. It sounds like you’re going through something very similar. I’ve experienced the same issue with songs—it felt like I had an MP3 playing in my ears for a few minutes. I’ve stopped listening to music because I’m afraid it will stick in my brain. The phrase...

Thanks for your reply, @yeezysqueezy 🥰 How are you managing today? Are you able to do some activities? Can you watch TV and listen to music without any issues? My doctor prescribed this benzo for daily use, and I’m supposed to take it three times a day—in the morning, in the evening, and before...

Hi everyone, I just saw an ENT this morning, and he didn’t find anything wrong with my ears. He thinks I might be experiencing auditory hallucinations, specifically hearing a voice saying, “next stop is,” and recommended that I see a psychiatrist. He didn’t mention the term palinacousis, which...

Thank you so much for your reply, @yeezysqueezy. I really hope this will go away because I can’t live with this voice in my head. How long did it take for you to see some improvement with your palinacousis and hyperacusis? Are you able to live a normal life now? Can you listen to music, watch...

Thank you so much for your reply ❤️. I really hope this will go away because I can’t live with this voice in my head. How many months did it take for you to see some improvement with your palinacousis and hyperacusis? Are you able to live a normal life now? Can you listen to music, watch TV, or...

Thanks for your replies. @yeezysqueezy, have you ever had a voice that lasted for months? Thank you very much ❤️

Hi everyone, I am seeking your perspective on this situation. One month ago, after taking the bus, I started hearing a voice in my head saying, “Next stop is…”. This repetitive sound has been playing in my head for a month now. Do you think this voice could be permanent? Thanks ❤

Hi everyone ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. They have given me some hope. I am still struggling with palinacousis and hyperacusis, and I really hope this nightmare will end soon. I can't leave my job, so I'm going to see if it's possible to work remotely for two days a week...

Do you think my palinacousis will go away with time? I am freaking out. Thanks ❤️

I think I have palinacousis. I read that some people with hyperacusis had this symptom as well.

Thank you for your message. As the days go by, my condition is getting worse. I now have a new form of tinnitus that mimics the digital voice I heard on the train. The voice says, "Next stop is..." Have you ever experienced something like this? Thank you.

Thank you very much for your reply. How much time did it take to go away?

Thank you all for your support and for answering my questions. I really appreciate it, especially during these tough times. I try to protect myself with silicone earplugs and a Peltor X4. At work, I wear foam earplugs because there are noises at or above 70 dB. I've also noticed that I've...
