Few days ago my ears felt like they can handle anything. Today, even rustle of paper feels uncomfortable. What a ridiculous condition this is. Totally ridiculous.

Some progess. Got my spatial hearing back after 40 days.

My T spike has changed a bit. It now reacts to my own talking voice and even to water faucet. Very annoying.

Have a relaxing weekend everyone. This is a tough condition to endure, but together we can survive it. Remember, you are not alone.

You just do not seem to understand. It is not about being negative, and it is not about being anxious. It is about giving people a warning. I went to a nightclub about a month ago, wearing earplugs. I got the worst spike I have ever had during my six years of living with this condition. I was...

@Regis, what is the Tomatis Method? In my opinion, it is best not to use headphones. Listen to music the usual way, at home, through speakers. There you go—free advice. Time will help. It took me almost five years to recover from hyperacusis and sensitivity to certain sounds.

Thanks for the eye-opening post. I think you are absolutely right. I was talking kind of loudly and moving around a lot while wearing those earplugs. I thought it would be better to wear earplugs than be exposed to loud music. I didn’t take my noise-cancelling headphones with me because I...

I have hard time forgiving myself for what I did. I was basically cured. Then I do something so stupid, and go to a club. I had earplugs on but damage is done. I've not had this kind of feeling since year 1 when I got this condition.
