    Over a month and my head still feels like I've been in a boxing match and I have slight nausea whenever I talk. How on earth can being few hours in bar/club with earplugs cause this much harm??!

    Hi. How did you get your reactivity and pain to fans and digital audio to go away? Did you just wait it out? Did you use any meds? Did you stay in quiet?
    S
    It took me 5 years for it to go away. I stopped using headphones, avoided loud places, but otherwise lived normally.
    S
    I have hard time forgiving myself for what I did. I was basically cured. Then I do something so stupid, and go to a club. I had earplugs on but damage is done. I've not had this kind of feeling since year 1 when I got this condition.

    Feeling the same way. I was doing well, until one thing in December for my daughter that I thought was fine. Worse than ever. Trying to forgive myself has been hard. I keep hope that things will calm down eventually.

    @angel223 I didn't notice my T anymore. I really had to concentrate to heat it, I was doing that well. But it took 6 years. I was doing really well.

    You have learned and taught others do not attend loud events even with ear protection! You habituated before now do it again. I'm in a spike lets ride it out together.
    S
    Paracetamol seems to make my T lower in volume, and caffeine makes it louder. My guess is that there is something physical going on inside my ear.
    S
    4 hours of fun - 4 weeks of ear ache, increased T, feeling of fullness, tiredness, nausea, increased H, depression, poor sleep etc. And this happened while wearing earplugs. Stay out of nightclubs people. Not worth it.

    Just 2 years ago I still had sensitivity for fan noises and I couldnt hear lyrics on one song. Just little over year ago I noticed that I can hear the lyrics again and I toleratw fan noises etc. It's been a slow process.

    And how was your T before your Spike?
    S
    Basically gone. I really had to try to hear it, even in silence. I was doing very well. Honestly I didn't usually even remember I had this condition anymore. Still had to be careful with headphones, wind noise etc.
    S
    Caffeine again affects my T. This hasn't happened in few years now. Darnit. Let me enjoy my morning coffee!!!

    Back once again. I write this to myself as a reminder as well: NEVER GO INTO ANY LOUD PLACES, EVEN WITH EARPLUGS! I've been doing so well for past 2 years. My T&H were basically gone, I found new joy in life. But, because I just wanted to be with my friends just for ONCE before we graduate, it's all gone in few alcohol induced hours. A terrible spike going on. I even had my earplugs on all the time.
    S
    I've not been here for a while. Still alive and kicking! I can live almost normal life but still can't make music or listen for long time.

    Now my GF dumped me out of blue. I am literally giving up on life.

    If it wasn't meant to be, it's best she's gone. You're going to find someone even better. Just watch
    S
    Not handling this well anymore. I miss making music so much. I tried and my ears start having pain afterwards...

    Just as an example, the Amphions worked for several hours a day, and they are KNOWN for causing problems with T. But some old consumer speakers I have gives ear fullnes and pain after 3-5 minutes. The difference can be night and day
    H
    Then again, if fan noise is a problem I think you must be more sensitive than me

    Just make the ideas quietly on laptop speakers and then come back for the sound design and mixing at a later date :)

    Can't use computer because of fan noise. What am I supposed to do? My ears go crazy when I use computers.

    I have this now. My ringing really ramps up. How you doing these days?
    S
    Can't sleep. T had been loud ever since I went to nightclub. I was already feeling almost normal and my T was very silent....

    You're experiencing a spike. You'll get back there. Be calm. Continue to protect.
    S
    Well.. This has lasted almost a week now.
    R
    You'll get there. I believe it.
    There are spikes that last weeks. Yourr current stress level and lack of sleep is making things worse. Hang in there. Eat full meals, focus deeply on something like a project, and take something to sleep if need be.
    S
    40 minutes @ nightclub few days ago was not worth it. T level is still bit higher than normally... Gotta be wiser in the future.
    S
    Not the best idea to go to nightclub. I only was there for 40 mins to say goodbye to my new school "friends". Newcomers party.Never again.
    S
    Nightclubs are hell holes. They've always been. Music is way too loud in those places.
    S
    School starting next week. T is still there. I dont really care about my T. My ears still dont like when I am exposed to certain frequencies
    S
    Still no good. Every time I listen music or am too much around loud sounds, my ears start to feel strange and my hyperacusis comes back.

    @Contrast Does it heal? It has gotten better during time but...
    Contrast
    i mean it could but no guarantees. The less damage the better chance of recover.

    Hope it starts to get better for you mate. My ears still click to noises but at least the pain has mostly gone.
    S
    First time at gym today since getting T. The metal clanging together is still not a good sound, noticed my T bit louder after workout..

    @HeavyMantra My H got worse again. There was so much noise on gym, my ears are "sensitive" again. It's definitely something physical inside my ear...
    H
    I see. Well, expect spikes apart from noise too. I recently just left when I got to the gym, even with earplugs it must have been like 70 db. But with that the problem is the horrible, soul-crushing shit they play on radio. Back in the day I had in-ear headphones and listened to metal, effectively blocking that out
    R
    I don't know why, but if I stay in very quiet for long, like a couple days, then my H goes way up. If I'm out and about, working, etc, then that aspect comes way down.
    S
    Lots of spiking today for some reason. One so loud it affected my balance. I have not been exposed to any loud sounds even.
    S
    I've been taking a break from this site. My depression has gone away after I started taking the break. I don't think about my T so often.
    R
    Hang in there man. It's going to get better and better. I think the first fluctuations are fast and then the rest is slower. Stay positive. Some people's clears entirely at the 5-6 month mark.
    S
    @Rb86 I went to barber today and now my H is worse again. It has to be physical... Thanks for support!
    S
    Another morning, another day with T. The volume seems to be stable. No spiking much. It just is. Slight H remains. Regrets. Regrets.
    S
    Me and my big mouth. Vacuumed for a moment a T spiked. Fuck it.
    S
    I have job interview tomorrow. I need to work. Even for 6 months so can pay my loans.It's just that my depression has gotten worse after T.
    dayma
    Good luck on the interview man!
