@Martinf I'm very sorry to hear about that, and I'm in a bit of a similar situation. But while scrolling through your profile, I read of numerous loud noise exposures...

We cant avoid sudden loud noise exposures they will always happen from time to time out of the blue...

@Martinf Sadly, that's very true, but we can do our best to minimize it. I'd for example never be in public without double protection, even if I do a splendid recovery, the risks are just too high, likewise I would try to rearrange my life to completely avoid places that could potentially be loud. It can be boring, but there's a lot of other fun stuff one can do instead.

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.
