H settling down a bit already

In other news, I have completely habituated to my tinnitus

Just had my first hyperacusis setback in 3 years. Damn! I've seen it all before and I'm not scared anymore. Hopefully this time it'll be a short one. Is the fact that my baseline was so good for so long, and that I withstood tons of bad noise insults with no setbacks, a good sign at all?

Yeah, that's how I got better (sans the white noise) Sometimes this condition reminds me of games like Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy or Jump King, except without the pit or the bog — there is no bottom.

IMO, there is no such thing as overprotection. Plenty of sound gets through whether you let it or not. I developed hyperacusis with symptoms nearly identical to those described by the original poster in December 2021. Fortunately, it improved within about a month. However, it returned in June...

My T is as loud as ever, but the main obstacle to habituation was the reactivity, and that's gone now.

I have basically no hyperacusis symptoms anymore.

Playing Metal Gear Rising with sound on, now. 2022 me could *never*.

He puts his name as "Neil Bauman, Ph.D". He has a Master's degree in Theology and two PhDs, one in Forestry and the other in Ancient Astronomy. A little bit dishonest if you ask me.

I'm sorry you're having such a tough time. This is likely contributing to your problem.

Happy 1st anniversary, adversary

I'd rather have cancer.

Was it Dan Malcore and his lackeys @ the Hyperacusis Network? Take it with a grain of salt.

Yesterday I accidentally set off the car alarm. I had industrial earplugs in. I suspect your thread may have literally saved my life.

Accidentally set off the car alarm today - and I'm fine!!

Jastreboff was right about benzos.

That experience applies the vast majority of hyperacusics, we call it a 'setback'. You went too fast. You should push your limits ever so slowly and gently, painfully slowly. Eventually, (and that's the key word) you'll be able to tolerate normal noise that you never could now.

I wish I had acquired wisdom at less of a price.

Is it in my head?

Majority of the bad tinnitus sufferers have reactive tinnitus / hyperacusis.

Allowed myself to be dragged to the theatre and now I'm in the beginning of a spike. Fucking hell I wish I wasn't so spineless.

Tinnitus is trending downwards. Noise tolerance is still tissue paper.

The surgery is reversible, I believe. Of course, I still see the logic in not wanting 3 different operations to get it done, undone and redone.

Too right. If you can't do the Wrfortiscue "lol", your odds do not look good.

Sorry.

I have exactly the same!

I'm so sick of pissing and moaning.

Mine doesn't even hurt badly, it's like a Jalapeno, but knowing how bad this can get it's just so goddamn terrifying.

How is he so well-spoken???

Any progress at all?

I'd wager you were able to stop protecting so much because your tolerance improved, not the other way around. That said, it's of course great news you're feeling better.

Overprotection is a myth crafted by TRT proponents in order to frame severe patients as "not trying hard enough".

Ears are burning. This can't be good...

Did I just spike from taking my earplugs out for 15 minutes? Surely not. I hope I'm just freaking out.

How do I convince an ENT to do this for me?

Coding.

So my problems are probably middle-ear related. I have an appointment with Myriam Westcott on the 15th of July and she's an expert on TTTS/acoustic shock. Sorry if I come off rude but this was a very enlightening post.

Seriously, I'm just no-lifing this game like crazy without the sound on while I (hopefully) recover. It's so ideal.

Seroquel = KO.

Sound enrichment.

Heyyy, same.

Could be time to beg for Prednisone if it hasn't gone back down.

It's gotten kinda musical. I kinda like it. I guess it's just really, truly driving me insane.

Brian Newman swears by it and he has one of the worst cases of noxacusis in the country.

I think it's good they want to be completely sure what they come up with is probably effective, considering how tinnitus is such a magnet for scam treatments.

I still shower, how can I be overprotecting?
