I started doing much better without the Zoloft, and went closer to my previous baseline. I've been having some more trouble recently because of a noise exposure and subsequent increase in symptoms, but it seems to be getting better over time. I think I just need to be patient and careful.

Don't play The Forest; every time you blow up anything you hear that horrible fake tinnitus noise; funnily enough it's almost exactly at the frequency I'm at.

I haven't been on here for a while, but I figured I would make a little update just to maybe get some of my problems on paper. I was doing quite a bit better for the last 6 months or so, to the level where my hyperacusis/tinnitus were seldomly crossing that attention threshold throughout my day...

I made the mistake of going to a loud concert with sub-par earbuds. My problems got a bit worse unfortunately. Hope it gets better quick.

I started tapering off Zoloft recently, so we will see how things go. I just hope that whatever is causing this flare up is reversible and not from something I can't control.

I am unsure if my increase in symptoms is a result of Zoloft, however it seems that the reactivity I have in my right ear and the "broken microphone" effect in my ear has increased several weeks after I started on 50 mg Zoloft every day. I have also noticed it's worse in the evenings (which just...

I've been dealing with nearly the same thing in my right ear for almost 2 years now, and I have days that are much better than others. My own voice still sounds a little "broken microphone" like, although it has gotten considerably better over time. Stress management and diet seem to help...

I'd get the nicest headphones I could find and blast Tame Impala, Beach House, Windows 96, HOMESHAKE, Mac Demarco, Hector Gachan, Andy Shauf, The Marias, Bach, Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, Interpol, Kevin Krauter, Inner Wave, Anderson Pak, TOOL, Alex G, Temporex, STRFKR, Sports... You get...

I'm gonna write into this rather than doing my homework because I can't focus. According to google it's been 594 days since the accident. That means it's been 19 months. Over a year and a half of this. For some reason it seems like I've always lived like this. I'm starting to forget what it...

Good to know. I know someone who can do electroacupuncture, and I might just try that out and see if it helps. Who knows? I've found that white noise in high frequency instantly lowers my reactive tinnitus, but only for a short period of time.

One day we'll be free

Even if they can't give me my hearing back, I would love to have the reactivity and ringing go down so that my hearing loss wasn't so obvious every day. If they can achieve that for me I'd gladly pay for it. Time will tell at this point.

Gonna try changing my diet and eat whole plants, nuts, fruits and vegetables only. We'll see how it goes.

I started using white noise and wow does it help with my reactivity. It took only a couple of minutes of white noise in the ear for the reactivity to dissipate. I noticed it would come back though relatively quickly if I stopped it, but even a few moments without it is so much better than...
