Hi @Eleanor, I wear earplugs any time I leave the house. I also wear them when I drive, teach classes and attend church. I wear them in restaurants. Really, the only time I don't wear them is in the house when I can better control my environment.
@twa hello do you still struggle with your hyperacusis daily…. And in what ways had it improved over the past few months
I’m 4 and half months in
Thankyou
@Eleanor, I'm almost a year in. I'm much improved, but things do still bother me. I wear earplugs all the time I'm away from the house. I think things started to improve a lot this summer, so about 10 months in. I'm able to do so much more than during the last 10 months. I am teaching, which I never thought I'd do again. I can take my kid most places within reason.
I wear Mack's foam earplugs from Amazon. I do still have tinnitus that fluctuates and changes tones daily. The ear fullness is much, much better. So are all the strange pains and burning. When this started a year ago, I could barely function because of the pain is my jaw, ears and temples. The headaches were terrible. I used to keep a hot pack on my face or ears all the time.
