I'd be willing to switch my good right ear for yours if I could, my fellow Dragon. Happy bday too, my 34th is in 8 days

Happy Birthday! I hope your T will settle down. It may take a while but let's hope for the better.

Happy birthday dude

@CW Dragon I'll borrow yours until your birthday, then i can lend you my left one for a while. Deal?

@volterra @Vassili Thanks guys <3 i think i could live with my T as long as it stays stable, i just want this ear pain and H to go away

Happy birthday!!!! T and H is a long road, you will get there though. :-)

I'll even take Mr Potato head's ear for my left

@Strawberryblonde thank you for the kind words <3 gives me hope. Wishing you the best on your side too!

@CRGC I am also 34 but my Birthday was in March. I haven't lost any hearing but I had a very serious acoustic trauma three years ago. I can say that everything gets much better with time. My H is something like 95% gone, T is 90% gone for sure. I hope this will make you a bit happier. :P

Thank you @Vassili! I've read your story many times, it gives me hope. I wish you continued progress on your side as well!

Thanks @Vassili that gives me more hope, and I read thru your Introduction thread

Congrats to you @CRGC All the best for a bright future!

Tusen takk @MindOverMatter :) would you have any more advice or wisdom for someone like me going through hyperacusis and ear pain?

@CRGC When you speak of ear pain, is it physical pain due to exposure to loud noises, or other reasons and symptoms?

@MindOverMatter the best I can describe my pain is sharp pain when exposed to loud sounds, as well as dull aches after (what i think is) overexposure to moderate noise. The dull pain comes up in a delayed manner and is unpredictable. This is the pain I'm having the most trouble dealing with.

@CRGC I get you. So basically, based upon your description,.some sort of hyperacusis with pain. That is challenging to deal with, especially when its unpredictable. Are you being followed up by any professionals within the field of tinnitus and hyperacusis?

Hi @MindOverMatter, sorry I just saw your comment now. Yes, I have met with several audiologists and neurootologists over the last few months. I have tried everything I could including intratympanic steroids. I am now trying to slowly desentize as per my audiologist's recommendations. The process has been difficult. I am also seeing a psychologist for the mental distress of it all.
