...for 8 months, loudness hyperacusis for 6 months, and now I am having increasingly more frequent signs of pain hyperacusis/noxacusis onset. Burning feeling inside the ear canal, appearing with a delay after an increased period of exposure to sound. I am going to further limit exposure to...
Hey, would you be so kind as to describe your pain symptoms? Burning pain (reactive or in silence), acute/stabbing pain, etc.
Could you quantify the pain reduction? What isn't painful on Gabapentin that is painful normally?
Are you using other medication simultaneously with Gabapentin?
OK. One question about cables. The left and right phono cables that come from the Rega tonearm, do they not need upgrading first? They look like standard cheap interconnects.
Do you know a firm called Black Rhodium?
...100 hours. The same applies to good-quality interconnect cables. A good Hi-Fi dealer will be able to burn in the cables for you using a burning machine.
My Chord Signature speaker cables are made from thick, solid copper and other materials. They are incredibly rigid and specially made to...
...Anxiety, my ass.
Congrats on your progress, sounds amazing given where you were only recently.
Question: how is your hyperacusis? Just burning pain? No loudness hyperacusis at all?
From what it seems, recovery from medically induced tinnitus is far more likely than from noise-induced, so...
I hope you find some relief soon, I have been suffering from burning nerve pain myself for a couple of weeks, they don't really seem to find what's causing it, been prescribed Trazodone+amitriptylin, it helps but now my tinnitus is spiking, nerve issues can take a while but things will improve .
...the pain that would follow afterwards: tinnitus (sounds varied A LOT over the months), trigeminal neuralgia like pain across face (intense burning), ear pain (very bad that week after Mother's Day), hearing sensitivity and ear popping, facial and shoulder numbness, chest tightness and sharp...
How long did it take for the aural fullness to go away?
I have had mine for two and a half months after acoustic trauma at a music festival. Just working out if there is hope that it might go.
Thanks for your thoughts.
You answered your own question. I'm in your category.
Instant pain, no burning or facial pain = sensitized type II afferent nerve fibers in cochlea.
Delayed, burning an facial pain = MEM problem, probably trigeminal nerve involvement.
I guess one could have both. Ouch!!!
Fuck the medical...
I also have this burning ears sensation, they also can become itchy.
My ENT suggested taking Alpha-lipoic acid, this reduces inflammation.
I remember him saying this was also prescribed for people that have a burning tongue.
It has been about a year since I had this burning sensation again, but...
...virtually zero symptoms due to wearing scleral lenses for a couple years (still wear them for vision). I went from debilitating eye pain and burning to nothing with an effective treatment. In regards to your brain or ear question , in my opinion it’s both. I find it very intriguing how...
Hi thanks for posting this - I am new and this is the worst thing I have ever had to deal with. At present I have quite a new symptom fleeting burning sensations in only one ear. Happens a few times per hour and lasts seconds. Is this familiar to you?
Sorry for the worsening, but it may just be a spike for a few days. Try not to worry. Really, I think it will go away.
I'm forever lost on whether a car ride is better with or without earplugs. I use basic foam earplugs, and it's pretty rough. I hear every bump and groove in the road because...
I listen to lots of Reggae bands. My favourites are Burning Spear, Culture, Black Uhuru, Peter Tosh, Don Carlos, Bob Marley, Damian Marley, Ziggy Marley, Stephen Marley, Dennis Brown. I keep diggin' and finding more artists.
...it may entirely be a middle ear issue with trigeminal nerve involvement, since a lot of people with TTS (Tensor Tympani Syndrome) report burning, stabbing, & facial symptoms. And both burning & stabbing sensations can occur with trigeminal nerve. Myriam Westcott even advises treating those...
That's very strange, Marin. I'm obviously not a doctor but fact so many supplements are causing that reaction would tell me that the problem is not with the supplements but that something very peculiar is happening in your body. I can imagine this must all be very stressful for you too. Have you...
I recently received this invite from the FDA to attend the following:
Attending will unlikely uncover information about the burning question around Dr. Shore's submission, but it might be helpful.
...the fact that it has been changing is a good sign. Ear fullness is just a sign that your ears got hurt - that ought to eventually go away.
Burning is a rare symptom. I can recall only two people posting here who mentioned burning. Basically their tinnitus got better after a year, but they...
...comments / feedback I know you are going through a lot of tests - rightly so. This sounds real concerning. The pace of the NHS is terrible. I work for the NHS and I have private healthcare, as does my partner. Did you have any numbness, tingling, twitching, feeling of burning skin etc more...
This doesn’t seem to be severe pain hyperacusis, but rather loudness hyperacusis with possibly reactive tinnitus. Ear burning, pressure/fullness, and TTTS (Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome) are not uncommon with this condition.
Even so, regardless of what you call it, this is a traumatic...
...and tinnitus start immediately after the concert or was it a delayed onset? Did you ever experience any Ear fullness?
How long was it before your ear burning went away?
Was the burning only from sound or independent of sound (burning in silence)?
Did your tinnitus ever spike from noise?
...severe side effects. The day after taking the SSRI, when I woke up, the volume of my tinnitus had tripled. My right ear felt like it was burning, with pain radiating down to my jaw and neck at the slightest noise. The tinnitus became unbearably loud, so I immediately stopped the medication...
...this.
I don't have noxacusis but I think I'm on the path to it.
Do you experience tingling sensations on your skull or face, and have burning ears almost constantly?
My tinnitus and hyperacusis have worsened a few months ago and my tinnitus is more reactive to everyday sounds. My own...
I have had pretty severe burning noxacusis that has lasted for weeks and even months at a time. Currently I’d say I’m 80% recovered. The main reasons for my recovery are time, avoiding harsh speakers at all costs, and consuming lots of ginger.
I still get noxacusis burning occasionally for a...
...my GP prescribed me Felodipine, but I never tried it. So, I took 5 mg of Felodipine this morning. I don't think I've ever had such a bad day. Burning tinnitus and also hyperacusis is much worse, and I had a really terrible headache all day. I took a couple of Ibuprofen and Tramadol, but...
...this because of safety or other reasons?
By noxacusis, you mean acute, stabbing pain in reaction to sounds, right? Do you also suffer from burning pain?
I have read that Carbamazepine blocks sodium channels.
Have you tried Ambroxol, another sodium channel blocker, and how do the effects...
...more common when you start to expose yourself to sounds again (like you do know), but it should be temporary. In my personal experience, the burning/warm sensation is more present when stressed and ears are fatigued.
Yes, it will take time to return to "normal". I'm in it for the long run...
...Me, with severe tinnitus (catastrophic at times, but tends to recede still), moderate loudness hyperacusis and still very occasional warmth/burning sensation in my ears, I am contemplating giving up. You would probably tell me - and rightly so - you would be almost like in heaven if you were...
...around 80 if I had to take a guess right now, they were probably below 40 or 50 in March.
Nothing really sounds too loud to me, but burning and at its worst really bad stabbing/face crushing pain was indescribable.
If I'm having a bad ear day, I might throw in my molded musician earplugs...
A new research paper on hyperacusis by Dr. Kelly Jahn of the University of Texas at Dallas:
Clinical phenotype and management of sound-induced pain: Insights from adults with pain hyperacusis
Here is the abstract; the full paper is at the link.
...I'm seeing any improvements with ginger, however, I haven't been trying it every day at high amounts. I have noticed it really helps with my burning symptoms which I recently obtained.
I'm wondering if cutting out sugar, dairy, salt, and maybe caffeine might help? The same with incorporating...
I have some ear canal burning in my right ear, and inner ticklish vessel movements/micro-spasms (TTTS?). For me, the burning is not always associated with sound but sometimes it is; it is hard to tell. I thought it was related to hyperacusis.
@Sash -- I didn't have burning in my ears until a few months post onset of tinnitus/hyperacusis. At about that time, I'd been learning from my practitioner how to do a little self-acupuncture on myself. Even though I hadn't noticed much improvement in the sessions I'd gotten from him, I...
Yes, my noxacousis has an entire pain complex during events: TMJ, neck and shoulder pain, brain burning, migraine. I am exploring my forward head posture, jaw issues, inflammatory triggers, etc.

I've had the acid pain straight for the last seven months and swelling in my middle ear as my ear heals. I'm hoping it goes away by the end of the year since that would be 18 months from the date of my trauma. I'm tired of the pain and having to take Tramadol for it, among other drugs.
I sleep...
I’ve been drinking a ton of ginger beverages lately and I think it really does help with noxacusis burning. It’s short-lived relief but I consistently notice that the burning drastically reduces about 10 minutes after I consume ginger and seems to stay that way for a few hours. It often...
