Hi Markku, I just want to thank for your recent post on Change.org. (The one started by Claire Everleigh). I am suffering severely from tinnitus and hyperacusis, and it's a heavy battle each day, so what you wrote was just right. Thank you. Also, thanks for setting up this forum. It helps a...

Hi Hazel, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am thinking France or Spain, been there already but to cities, so it would be nice to look at quieter places. I will look into them. How did you arrive to those places. Did you hire a car and drive (might be the least noisy option) or travel from...

Hi, I live in the UK and have severe tinnitus and moderate-severe hyperacusis. I currently cannot step outside my door without earplugs in, as I'm sensitive to a lot of ordinary sounds. That said, I want to continue to travel once a year like I normally did in the past, somewhere in Europe...

@Juan

Yes, that is what I do, it helps... until my neighbour starts using drilling tools and drilling into my wall. How annoying.

@another sean Yes I have got severe reactive tinnitus from a concert in 2005. Made much worse playing electric guitar with a friend in 2018 (I wore earplugs, made no difference). That last event also brought bad hyperacusis too so sounds in the night wake me. Both conditions are a nightmare. I...

Hi @Juan Unfortunately I need them all the time now. As i worked in quite a busy office, laughter there between colleagues got bad and my ears didn't have time to rest. I'm now working at home, but my ears ring much more loud and annoying and Hyperacusis is worst it's been. I should have...

@iAzra Yes go to mountains, you live in a beautiful country (I was there last year) but since my T and H got a lot worse I am unable to fly anymore. :( I wore ear defenders on my last flight and it was fine, but I took a boat trip from Dubrovnik to another town thinking it would be fairly...

Hi @MRItechssuck I've been wearing earplugs in bars and concerts until my Tinnitus worsened considerably in 2016 after one such concert, where it became intrusive, but quietly so (very low). After that concert I refused to attend another concert in my life. In 2018 I practiced electric guitar...

Yes, same for me. I have very loud tinnitus and pretty bad hyperacusis so I cannot use a pillow speaker, so my nights are restless toss and turn kind of nights. I do take medicine to sleep, but lately since the T increase it is not working well. Also because of hyperacusis I now wake at slight...

Hi all. On New Year's eve a bit into a garlic filled stuffed olive and cracked a molar. It had a bonding there before from something similar happening so now the tooth is so badly damaged, my dentist recommended a crown rather than another repair that could be damaged again. I have severe...

@Kriszti I don't know...mine is worse all the time so it's difficult to say, don't think so. I am really worried about Dental work I have coming up, a crown. They'll be grinding my tooth etc. I am terrified that this will leave me with even louder tinnitus. Going to make a post now about it.

Hi @Michael Leigh Re: White noise maskers, they told me to wear them low level for short periods. I tried for 30 minutes on low volume but even that spiked my Tinnitus so I stopped wearing them. I might give them another go....but as my condition has worsened since before, I don't want to...

Hi @Michael Leigh Yes, they all know me well... I've got an Audiologist, but the treatment for hyperacusis (white noise maskers in ear) which I tried a few years ago didn't work. Unfortunately they spiked my tinnitus so I couldn't use them. I use white noise in and around the home though it...

Hello, I just want to let posters here know I also feel suicidal every day too as my tinnitus and hyperacusis is very severe these last few weeks and I've had to work from home. You're not alone. It has gotten so bad that I am considering applying for euthanasia in Belgium, Netherlands or...
