I’m very sorry to hear that. I only have some mild sound sensitivity that I have been improving by gradually increasing the tv volume over the past 10 months. I only use high quality speakers. Regular tv speakers make everything worse.

I found that using monitors made my symptoms worse. I think my ears are tired and need a good, long break from listening to things. Glad to hear your sensitivity is improving though!

Thanks. I hope you feel better soon too sounds like you have a solid plan in place.

Your 30’s, and 40’s and the rest of your life is going to be amazing precisely because of this though. Nobody will love life more than us

The 20s are overrated. Focus on where you go from there.

It is very recent, keep in mind it can very well fade away in the coming months.

@Julien87 My internship was back in 2019. my T didnt fade at all. recently it has gotten worse and I'm now in the early stages of hyperacusis. I'm so tired.

My bad, I thought you posted your first thread in June of this year. Hang in there..

Because of nerve inflammation.

Can't you do a CT scan instead?

@tracyNYC my last one was in january 2019, pre tinnitus. my neuro wants one for some neurological issues I've been having for a while, but I dont think they're going to find anything new. he said we could see how my ears are doing in a month and then decide, but I don't want to dance with the devil/hyperacusis

I agree with @Taw that you should ask about a CT scan. They may need the dye (not sure if it's the same as for an MRI), but at least it's not five sledgehammers firing in your ears. Best of luck to you.

@SD7 not entirely sure, but probably has to do with listening to/producing music for too long without breaks and then accidentally blasting my ears when I messed with the gain settings on a plug-in. Maybe the vaccine had a role too?

@Foamearplugssuck yea the vaccine gave me tinnitus....later on I think it assisted in giving me hyperacusis. What was your experience?

@SD7 I started getting symptoms about a week after the vaccine. Unfortunately they’ve worsened, and I’m not sure why because I’ve been protecting the hell out of my ears. I guess time will tell...

Yup! I’m a migraine sufferer. Tbh, my migraines are so bad, I kinda forget about my T when I have them. :-/

@Steph1710 my migraines always make my T 10x worse so it gets much harder to ignore. I'm also scared to try meds out of fear of permanently spiking my T. fun stuff.

How did it go?

@GoatSheep turns out I didn't have a cavity! It was just a really dark stain. I'm incredibly relieved.

My sister got us tickets to a concert in September with TWO of my favorite bands together and I'm scared of going...but I wanna see them lol

I bought concert tickets recently.. I have indeed just resold them. :(

Me too man, sucks big time

Living with obnoxiously loud people and not being able to use headphones is the worst.

@starrynights SAME I was so depressed my first year because I couldn't find any joy in music. It was such a big adjustment, and I still get really sad about not being able to truly enjoy music anymore.

@nocticolor yep, my parents are really loud sometimes, and it's so annoying. Plus, it's like I have no privacy to work on my music or anything because they can hear everything I do....it sucks.

Ha! That truly takes the piss! I suppose you could sell them? Make some money off them at least.

@Lucifer yeah I was super suprised! I was not expecting that at all

@Steph1710 I wish! But my mom has already decided to claim them. So I guess I'll just have to admire them on her ears.

Hope you're doing okay too. I decided that Daria is a bit more fitting for my mood as of late haha

Mr. P is 20 yrs old- He's a tough little bugger! Cats are beautiful creatures & they're really good at getting you thru tough times. :)

@LilSass thank you. sorry you’re going through similar stuff too. Tell Alvin and Mr. Peepers I said hi!

I will! Yeah, it sucks. Life has been quite surreal these past 6 months. Sending you love & hugs! <3

About the same buddy. Stay strong

@Rb86 dude I’m so sorry. We’ll get through this. Fx-322 will be here before we know it.

Yup. I got a pair of airpods that I might as well chuck away. Life is damn cruel! Stay strong!
