I feel your pain! The H and ttts are super annoying. My H ttts is mainly in my right ear, it reacts to voices and loud bassy things like loud cars ugh I hate it

I hope in time it starts to dissipate it's so depressing!

Hi @Biaxca sorry late reply I caught the flu and have been in bed these past few days. I would say it would be ok to let doctors look inside your ears but let them know about hearing test that you have hyperacusis before doing the test they will advise if it's safe enough. Hope you recover soon!

@Sydney13 can you describe you're ttts? Do your ears spasm to noises? And if so what noises do they spasm to? How does it feel when it happens?

Hi @Sammy0225 ! Yes they do. Not every noise, but some! Sometimes when I'm ripping up boxes, cutlery, if I drop certain things, people's voices (this is the number one trigger). There's no pain, but it's annoying AFFFFF. I hate it so much. Do you have ttts? If so what is yours like?!

It's mostly my right ear as well. I've always had issues with my right ear but it got worse in October! @Sammy0225

@Sydney13 yes mine is similar things like a pen dropping or crisp bags of chips set my ears off spams mine is only left ear also if some one coughs or sneezes my ears violently spasm it really sucks alos I have no pain it just feels like being jump scared even if the sound is not loud

@Sydney13 magnesium has calmed my ttts tremendously though

@Sammy0225 yes I totally get that :( it truly does suck. the spasms are the worst I hate it. I hope in time it backs off for all of us! I used to get it in my left year but it went away… hoping the same for my right but it just doesn't seem like it right now. Ugh!

@Sammy0225 ive been using magnesium too and I feel like it works with calming my nerves and sound sensitivity! What magnesium do you use? I use magnesium threonate by Cymbiotika in the morning, and then two caps 250mg each of magnesium biglycinate in the evening
