Double protection whenever you are outside, are you serious? This is bad for hyperacusis and bad for your overall ear health as it needs oxygen.

@Martinf I mean, maybe not when taking a walk in the woods, but when being in public places, walking down streets or such, then definitely, you don't want to put the health of your ears in other peoples hands. We can get enough sound enrichment in our homes, we don't need to be exposed to +80dB city noise to have hyperacusis under control.

I've felt the true wrath of severe hearing problems. I have a hard time determining more cruel medical conditions than this. You don't want this to worsen, the risks are too high. Then you choose double protection, or at least single protection, when outside. No compromises.

Have you considered that it might be MEM or palatal myoclonus?

Ent didnt figure out anything

My vertigos were gone after a year. You are lucky.

Yay!!! Vertigo is the pits! Glad you are better!

do you have meniere disease?

No I have incredible low frequency hearing. But bad high frequency hearing. The V is so bad that i cant walk straight sometimes

It was a kia picanto car and I was just passing infront of it I just hope it is the stock horn and not a custom one. If it is stock horn it shouldnt be more than 107db at 1m distance

Oef, a Kia Picanto? the only thing I should worry about this car is that it is more sore to the eyes than to your ears;)

Thanks dude. I think it is just my perceived loudness is not normal due to my hyperacusis. I should learn how to relax and not stress too much. All my T spikes actually are from stress.

in my opinion. the answer to that riddle will cure us. as long as we don't find the reason for this to happen, we won't have a cure.

What is with this nofap business. I’ve seen it posted quite a bit. Why would you want to punish yourself more than you’re already being punished? Just chill and bash one out.

@Steph1710 to be fair one of my tones goes with my heartbeat and it gets ridiculous when I have sexy time or fap lol. Eee eee eee eee e e e e e e e e

@Steph1710 sorry I was really inebriated when I wrote that lol kinda missed the mark trying for comedy :P Don't mind me ppl I'm just a sick Leafs fan

@Martinf I'm going to sound like a mom/teacher for a second. Why were you doing that?

@twa before I got T I used to be doing yoga and being very active and healthy. I want to get back my life! But it seems everything i used to do before makes my T worse now

I used to do calisthenics and would practice handstands and L-sits on my rest days. I also don't think I could do handstands anymore, just bending over spikes me for some odd reason.

I'm not sure, but I know it's loud. I wear foam earplugs when it's windy.

Sounds a little suspicious doesn't it of a spinal /neck issue?

Yes but no doctor helped

I just couldn’t. But I’m not sure it’s the same if you’re female.

I will keep you updated. I am willing to try anything to stop this hell in my head.

As a non-native person I needed to Google this. :) No connection afaic.

Every time I don't, I end up encountering something loud. Like someone dropping stuff at the store or loud cars driving up beside me on the road.

@kingsfan exactly!

I lost it at 6khz, only left ear where my noise induced loss was originally, only when I laid down on my left side, 30dB drop.
Came back slowly over 5 hours and overnight. T/sound fx got worse in both ears over the days afterwards.
I worked on an idling engine beforehand with earplugs, ...have done that before, louder than this, with the T and no issues.

30db at 6khz and 40db at 8khz. What about you?

@Martinf 20-25dB

I think many people have challenges hearing people speak in loud environments. That is pretty normal. I have extremely mild hearing loss in only one ear and the last time it was tested it was actually back in the normal range. But I usually surround myself with so much noise to block out the Tinnitus that when people talk to me I can’t hear them.

Hey, I'd recommend you to aboud social places until your spike subsides.
