I feel ya there. After an evening with my family, my ears are tired, sore and burn.

I wouldn't survive if I were to isolate myself 24/7. I just hope that it doesn't ruin any potential recovery.

@AbeS it shouldn’t do. I always worry about the same thing. But so far, I haven’t had any set backs.

Socializing helps you by masking the tinnitus and distracting your mind. But hyperacusis stops you from socializing. So what's the answer? IMO , if the hyperacusis isn't debilitating, we shouldn't stop socializing. In small doses and with proper protection, It helps us more than staying alone with our thoughts in silence.

@aura I agree. I take daily walks in the woods with my father and my parents dogs. That's what is getting me out of bed and keeps my somewhat sane.
