Someone in my family got parasites a while ago, and I had to take two pills of Mebendazole (Vermox) two weeks apart to prevent getting the little bastards myself.
It did not affect my ears.
FYI, I am homebound from noxacusis and have mild tinnitus.
Unexpected loud sounds can trigger inflammation in the middle ear, even if it doesn't lead to cochlear damage.

2 nice things I found during the past week:
- Hyperacusis Central made a short video called "Sound of Tinnitus" to show others what tinnitus sounds like
- The Texas Roadhouse will donate all profits from Monday to the ATA
That is so relatable :(
Fortunately, a method to detect tinnitus has been developed. The Bionics Institute is working on a different one. Nothing for hyperacusis yet afaik.
Hyperacusis: Results of a Novel Treatment Approach
Please ask them what their scientific source is when claiming that protection against painful sounds worsens one's hyperacusis.
I'm shaking my head here man. You're the one telling Travis Henry what to do, yet apparently I'm the one with a hidden agenda and should think before I post. Okay.
Never in your post did you indicate this was your experience. For what it's worth, I fully agree that every person is different. I...
Whoah that is some dangerous advice. How do you know protection leads to worse hyperacusis? Can you show us evidence?
Many people, including myself, have become permanently worse from noise which should not be loud and long enough to damage our hearing.
