Glad to hear it man. If you end up leaving entirely, I hope you'll stay fine and won't have any more hearing issues in the future :)

thx for the nice words Capy. Knowing myself i might come back here and there just to raise morals. hope you are doing and are going to be doing great

Do you still have T or is it gone?

@Joshua Macleod i definetly understand why thats the case. this was really mental and withouth a doubt the worst time in my life. i believe i can get over the fear with time

@Mo8409 Stil have T just less tones and its way more stable. i honestly dont care about my T 90% of the time. I had decently bad nox and thats almost gone or gone. hard to tell because im afraid of exposure

Keep this up and you won't want to come back here.

Give it two more months then post in the success stories.

@TheCapybara never had distortions. Just things sounding louder, burning/stabbing pain and T spiking. Dw im very carefull and those loud things were hard to avoid

@Jupiterman i already dont feel the need to comeback but i sometimes want to check on some people and i wanted to share this progress to give people strenght

No need for an intro, post whatever you need

Do it.

@Ngo13 thats great ill try to post the succes story today.

Nee hoor, dat vind ik niet erg om toe te lichten. Ik heb zeker pijn ervaren toen ik hyperacusis had.

Ik weet nog dat ik in het begin niet op straat wilde zijn, want elke voorbijrijdende auto maakte zo'n geluid waarbij mijn oren brandden en het net voelde alsof er een dolk door mijn trommelvlies werd gestoken. Daarna werd het gelukkig gaandeweg minder en bleven de symptomen vrij mild. Sinds 10 maanden heb ik geen symptomen meer.

@Christiaan Basiccaly i said i wanted to become a good psychologist because of this and im happy that your symtoms are gone now in regards to Hyperacusis

ah you come from the land of kaas aswell. np stay strong @tiniturk. If it keeps improving and stays well ill write a success story

That's awesome! How long have you had T for?

@DeanD I would say all 3. i think it was mostly time but gradual exposure with rest helped after a certain point

@Mo8409 i have it since 2020 but it got bad at the end of 2021 then worsend in march 2022

Terrible.

I've been looking into maybe getting a bowflex. Get away from the free weights for a time

@BrOKeN_1 That would be amazing if you have room for that. It also saves money in the long term because you dont have to pay for a membership

I have never once syringed my ears, during, or after, using eardrops.

I had an infection too a few weeks ago. As long as you don’t have any perforated ear drum, you should be good and ear drops won’t cause any ototoxic effect.

@arctic_penguin if my Gp doesnt tell me to do it i prob wont but thx for the suggestion. @EternalRinging aye thx for more reassurance

What caused your ear canal and drum to get red? What caused the inflammation I mean

@stacey i wore alot of foam earplugs and i think that irritated my ear to much and even cut it a bit.

Well, Triamcinolone is just a topical corticosteroid.

People with T may rightly be suspcicious (or in some cases over-zealous) where taking corticosteroids are concerned, but this is just a topical solution we're talking about.

The 0.00001% of the solution that makes it beyond the skin of the affected ear canal is unlikely to make a noticeable (or unnoticeable for that matter) change to your tinnitus.

To give you some perspective, I've used Neomycin (a highly ototoxic anti-biotic) ear drops for several ear infections over the last 14 years, and my tinnitus is no worse (not as a result of them, anyway).

@Strawberryblonde @Damocles thx for the replies. Yea i wasnt taking any risks and thought it would be best to ask people here before taking anything. Im going to take it this sunday and i only have to take it for a week.

What are these drops called? You can always check on here to see others experiences. But remember everyone will react differently.

I only got the dutch name. But they are Acid drops with TRIAMCINOLONACETONIDE. I put the ingredients in another post on my page. I wil pick it up today and see if i got a name then

@KoolKat i cant imagine having it for a decade. My t started in 2020 but it was a 1/10 i did have H but only experienced pain from noises above 80 db and really bad audio. It got really bad 1 year ago (exactly today). It did get alot better and i hope ill be able to keep recovering

@Jsm_Joestar Yep so much. i cant believe my own freaking brain is holding me or should i say US hostage like this. I hope too buddy we all get cured from this very soon, cause this aint the way to live. Life is already hard WITHOUT TINNITUS smh

@Jsm_Joestar I hope you dont ever have to live having it for a decade and i hope i dont have 2 have it for 2,3,4 decades. i had a very very brief thing with H / acoustic shock. but that was a decade ago, so im lucky in that department. the thing with this condition however is its always 1 step forward 5 backwards.

@Strawberryblonde I hope you are doing oke with your earpain. I have been there (inserting alpine plugs to deep) that really stings.

Sounds like it's more the plugs causing you the pain rather than H sound. If it only happens when you use them then itll be that.
Im doing ok today its eased off but not fully, ive kept them out my ears for 2 days. @Jsm_Joestar

@Strawberryblonde Im happy to hear that it has eased off. I hope it continues to diminish. I took a gap year and need to work until may to have enough money for my bills. After that ill go withouth plugs and see if my earpain goes away.

@Ken219 He might with what he is doing. I told my other friends about this ecounter and they said that he is well known in my city. I thought it was a one time thing but he patrolled infront of my flat yesterday.

@Jsm_Joestar I have that in my neighborhood as soon as I hear them coming my index fingers go quickly in my ears! As soon as I hear a loud sound from the distance fingers in the ears! It works!

@Ken219 Its the most simple yet effective technique. No wonder most people do it on reflex when loud noises occur.

Baffled about this one bud

yea its pretty strange. It happens once in a while and it might have something to do with my H and T so ill look into it
