    I'm no stranger to this condition worsening. I suspect some of the long haulers here are in the same boat. Like clockwork, new/worse symptoms every 2-3 months for me. But I can deal. This recent worsening though. Brutal. Metal wine glass humming on top of *everything*. No rhyme or reason. Just started out of nowhere.

    Anyway how ya'll doin. I hate it here.

    I'm definitely in the same boat. At least every 6 months, but it's often every 2-3, something gets worse. Sometimes it calms a bit, but never back to how it was previously—two steps forward, one step back, so to speak.

    Over the summer I started getting those noxacusis aching and burning sensations.

    @kingsfan Man you said it. New symptoms might settle down a bit over time but they almost never go away completely. You think you've got a handle on your present situation and boom, you're back to square one. Any kind of reactivity takes this condition to a whole other level of torture.

    Been keeping up with your status updates over the years and yeah man, I just can't believe it's 2025 and we don't have *anything* for tinnitus yet, let alone the cavalcade of other auditory ailments that are tinnitus adjacent (hyperacusis, dysacusis, reactive T etc.) We should be looking at treating those by now in tandem with expanding tinnitus treatment options, but we're still stuck in the pit of "we just don't know, oops!!" Blows my mind.

    Reactivity is...noticeably lower today? Weird. Wonder if it has anything to do with the obscene humidity.

    Looking at old posts up to a few years back and seeing a lot of inactive users who used to be regulars. I hope they're all coping better.

    People that came before us like nico and Matchbox that had distortions, I often wonder what happened to them and if they recovered.
    beefling
    @TheCapybara They both had it pretty bad too, from what I understand. I know in the case of Matchbox, he did experience recovery.

    Things have taken a drastic turn for the worst. Not sure why. Not having answers makes dealing with this so much harder.

    @TheCapybara Yeah. I have to wonder if I'm also experiencing something else. The symptoms present themselves as what we define as dysacusis, but, it's like something in my hearing is cooked and my brain can't interpret so many different sounds anymore. I get these awful, warbly, metallic like feedback noises that have gotten increasingly more reactive and prominent in more sounds that were normally no problem.

    @beefling I'm sorry to hear, man. Dysacusis is an extremely weird condition on its own and we have absolutely no answer or explanation for what's going on with it, or if it's getting better or worse. I hope that those sounds will go back to normal eventually, all we can do with this is wait it out and hope for the best.

    @TheCapybara You and me both brotha. Staying as strong as I can for family and friends. Wishing you a dysacusis-free future as well. Nothing else we can do, just wait.

    Ahhh hell. Here we go again.

    Distortions flaring up?

    @HearingHell Yuuup. Last year was pretty good; finally had some stability. No improvement, but no worsening either. Back to square one. Hearing new shit that's more prominent in spaces that I had relatively little problem being in before. God I really hope by some miracle that the shore device or even the channel openers help with dysacusis. If they ever see the light of day, haw haw haw.

    What a damn nightmare.
    HearingHell
    Sorry to hear that. I hope it calms down/stabilizes again soon.
