    @Cmspgran my tinnitus is still sound reactive. I honestly cannot say if the reactivity has objectively lessened, but I feel like tinnitus may calm to baseline faster now. I can say that I focus way less on the reactivity now, and therefore do not fixate on its ever variable status. What seems to...

    ...Isolated for so long only to get worse. I love your idea about getting back to some sort of life. I tried so hard to do some of the things I loved. Loved protected walking but now that destroys me. No rules for improvement seem to apply to true chronic reactive T, H and N. God bless you.

    @Mo8409 Some people have reactive tinnitus, where the T gets louder/changes presentation with sound/certain sounds. Steady broadband noise tends to cause this type of T to react, & that's why some people can hear their T over these types of sounds (e.g., shower, white noise generator) even...

    @billie48 Also, were you working a job while dealing with the severe reactive T and H? Right now, I'm not working. I miss doing it but I worry about possibly making the T and H worse by going back to work.

    @in_LA This is an interesting topic not discussed much on TT, correlated to vestibular hyperacusis vs. cochlear hyperacusis. These get more confused w/ sound sensivity and reactive T.

    Luckily both dysacusis and reactive (competing) T have gone. I still have loudness H, discomfort in ears, a bit of fullness and louder T. I have found that improvements in H lead to massive improvements in T for me (maybe not actually in volume but definitely in habituation) so I'm hoping that...

    Hey Kiyomi I'm so sorry you're going through this. I also have reactive t and h. The first few months are the worst, but there is a chance you may improve if you are careful with your sound exposure this early on. I worsened daily for 4 months before I stabilized and slowly started improving. I...

    ...that noises don't hurt, is to slowly and gently reintroduce yourself to sound again. Do it at safe levels for you. Ginger tea and tumeric homemade tea for pain and inflammation. I had bad H and still have slightly reactive T. Simple noises can over do it. Do it safely and slowly. You'll be okay.

    For me going to loud places means more messed up hearing despite of earplugs: muffled hearing, everything sounds quieter like my hearing is worse for even weeks, reactive T reacts, hyperacusis symptoms get somewhat worse for a moment etc.

    I did try it a couple times early on in the reactive T journey, but a day or two after I started it, it sped up the sounds of my T and sounded like it was making things more hyper if that makes sense. So after a couple days of that I stopped. My origin of T was ultra high frequency SSHL from ear...

    Ugh sorry to hear @Cmspgran .. I have mutli sound reactive tinnitus, T is very sensitive to sound and has been to certain meds and even supplements so I am worried about the Doxy. My ENT made me get an MRI literally two weeks after tinnitus onset. Wish I never done that.

    @in_LA Mr. T hates fans, it tends to make him louder and static like. Tends to break up and be wonky. I think its part of it being reactive. I haven't found anything to "mask" the sound short of cicada sounds.

    @Theezy sounds like you have made a little progress. My T is less reactive. I think just being outdoors helps. We need some exposure to sound but not too much. I have been taking Panax Korean Ginseng which may be helping a bit too.

    ...with you. Does it ever go away for some? I hear a whistle sound over certain external sounds that instantly stops once the external sound ceases. E.g. running water with *beeeeeeep* over sound of water.... turns tap off, *beep* instantly gone. Is this reactive T/hyperacusis or sound distortion?

    @Tryn2BHopeful mine seems to differ by the day, sometimes by the hour! There's a particular cricket sound that nearly masks mine, how long has your T been reactive and have you seen any improvement or when you say desensitized you mean you just tolerate it better? I wish you knew too @Juliane :(

    I find that rooms; I think due to the sharp geometric edges, reflect sound waves in a very unnatural manner which can aggrevate my reactive T more than being outside where all the acoustic reflections are from natural curves. Do loudspeakers (TV, music, phone) affect your T?

    @hopefuldede you describe your T changes how I tend to experience mine. With movement, after a walk,constant sound, increased heart rate, etc it becomes this awful high hiss that is reactive. As this calms down in quiet, the hiss is still there but then my other 3-4 crazy chaotic sounds come...

    This is exactly me, but one-side ear with pulsatile reverberations. :( It's reactive to internal body sounds: vascular, voice, and what seems muscular spasms. In certain known disorders, reactive T/H occurs not only by external sounds, but by also from sounds within. Is this same for you?

    ...use it if I suspect inflammation. Because that’s really the only point of taking it. I’ve had hearing loss in the past and it’s really helped. Right now I’m on it because I’ve been sick and I have a massive massive spike going on right now with reactive T. I think the worst spike I’ve ever had.

    My psychologist specialized in hearing issues just adviced to stop avoidance behaviour and there is no reason to avoid loud places if I use hearing protection. This maybe works best for people who don't have reactive T that doesn't get louder after loud noise

    It hurts to stand, I feel pain across all my back. I hate to speak because it makes my face and ears hurt. I hate that I can barely do basic things I never thought would bring me pain.

    Does Sound Reactive Tinnitus Ever Change?

    This question is for people who have t that gets louder with sound...does the sound reactiveness ever stop? I get it that maybe t will or will not go away, but does the kind that gets louder with noise ever settle down to a steady sound with no reaction? It is so hard to go anywhere anymore.

    @Cmspgran Its been reactive since a week after onset, so 4 months. Im gonna say I tolerate it better, but it also seems slightly better. Initially even the sound of my voice would spike my T. Thats not the case anymore. Yes mine can vary all day long as well, its a bear to deal with sometimes.

    Sorry it didn’t work out @Buddy123 , did/does your T present similar to how Darren’s did? @Strawberryblonde first going to see if amplification of any frequency area and/or not touchin/slight turning down of any area does anything. Idk if I can go straight to masking with my reactive T.

    Were you using the white noise or something? I wouldn't give up on a masker or aids, definitely consider meeting with an audiologist that could fit you for the best ones and maybe provide a sound that mixes well with your T. Again, only if your T is not reactive. :)

    My T is so sensitive/reactive to sound so it’s quite easy to identify, but if you’re saying it only seems to get aggravated by fan on high and not other kinds of sound, that could give you flexibility to find something to help mask it.
