Hey Shaun! I'm doing better! I read this very informative paper by Norena: An Integrative Model Accounting for the Symptom Cluster Triggered After an Acoustic Shock And watched this interview by Westcott : And things are going much better as I'm learning to relax around sound and not...

I am wondering the same. I mainly have sensitivity to certain frequencies rather than loudness (plates and shower make my ear flutter and give me slight discomfort) and am wondering if this is actually damaging my ears.

Hi all, I suffered what i think was an Acoustic Shock Disorder from headphones a few months ago and have been having some mild loudness hyperacusis, fluttering at high frequencies and ringing. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar: the fluttering occurs when I listen...

Also just to add, the day the face tingling started I had tingling all over my right arm and leg which I read can be a consequence of TMD. It seems that the lines are quite blurred between ASD which can cause similar symtpoms and TMJ, but am wondering if there is a mutual relationship between...

Hi all, I had an acoustic incident with headphones 2 months ago with some residual tinnitus and TTTS in my right ear. While the tinnitus is not very high and I was making progress with the TTTS and sensitivity, I’ve developed an annoying tingling in my face, on the same right side. I realised...

Thanks for the reply and knowledge!

I have taken break from headphone use altogether and won't be using them for the foreseeable future. If I get back to DJing, I will be religiously wearing custom earplugs. The fullness is random and I can't really pinpoint what the reason might be. Sometimes when I'm with friends it can get a...

Hi all, I underwent what I thought is an acoustic shock with headphones back in March. While I have largely habituated to my tinnitus, I have some TTTS in my right ear and some sensitivity to higher frequency sounds. My right ear is the one with a more significant hearing loss as well...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I am getting custom earplugs made next week, both 33 dB for attending and 17 dB for performing but I won't be getting back to it before a good few months. I have some sensitivity in my right ear to loud high pitch noises (e.g., dishes clanking and so on) and these...

Hi all, First introductory post here! I am an amateur music producer and DJ and have been going to clubs for the last 10 years (stupidly without hearing protection). About 1 month ago I had some new headphones which I played stupidly loud and it aggravated my tinnitus. While the tinnitus levels...

Reviving this thread as my symptoms are really similar. Did any of you find any resolution? Thanks!

Hi David, I have mild hyperacusis and what I think is TTTS on my right ear, along with feelings of fullness. I've been following this thread and decided to give it a go. Shall I point both headphones (ordered the Koss KSC75) towards my affected ear (at a 2 inch distance) or shall I have them...
