No, I do not think so, but I found the diet too difficult to maintain. I also tried a low carb/no refined sugar diet, and I lost a lot of weight but no real improvement of tinnitus or hyperacusis. My emotional response and quality of life have improved based on getting out and engaging with society (going out to eat, jogging, playing golf, etc.). I do wear earplugs if I know that I will be exposed to loud noise.

Thanks for the information I was wondering cause I been trying to target inflammatory foods as a contributor and I agree it seems to be living a quiet life is the only way of living a somewhat sustainable life thank you for your input

Thank u @Eleanor89 I FINALLY get this as I’m working exclusively on my horrific anxiety that is crippling me at this point. My T has been low but the anxiety has continued to rage on.

My audiologist wants me to wear the sound generators for eight (8) to ten (10) hours a day. I discored last night that I might have them set too low and that a higher volume might benefit me.

Yes, on the days where my mood and anxiety are better, the hyperacusis is not as much of an issue (but still an issue). I think that if we can finally put pandemic behind us or at least get to a level where we are more confident with it, it might also be more calming to the central nervous system.

I am trying a low histimine diet but it is very difficult to maintain it during the first week. It has helped some people with similar auditory issues. Do you have hyperacusis?

How is your hyperacusis?
