This is purely anecdotal based on my own experience with hyperacusis (with physical discomfort), but white/pink noise made mine worse while ear...
Wow, you described EXACTLY what my hyperacusis is like (both the trigger and symptoms). Mine was caused by sitting too close to my guitar amp...
If you're truly at this point of desperation, what's the harm in trying the prednisone?
I have, but either with earplugs in or at a relatively safe distance. The most painful noises I was exposed to were screams/shrieks from my young...
I think it would be more accurate to say "This depends on the severity of hyperacusis and what people mean by recovery." In my case, I started...

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. I'm no expert but I will say that in my case I have improved thanks to using earplugs to protect against any...
Please elaborate. Ear pain caused by normal levels of noise, which the OP experienced, is the hallmark of hyperacusis. Maybe I'm missing something?
I agree. I think it's important to acknowledge that, like many diseases/conditions, hyperacusis has a spectrum of severity from mild (like mine)...

Although I intuitively want to agree with you, my H was triggered by a very low-volume session playing my guitar with lots of distortion (complex...
I think the problem is that we tend to think of hearing protection as a binary thing (all or nothing) when in fact it's a spectrum. The truth, in...
This question is primarily aimed at musicians but probably has general relevance: Do you think it's safer (less damaging / less likely to cause a...
