What do you guys think causes the burning sensations in our ear? Not burning from noise but that feeling of acid in the ear canal? It doesn’t seem cochlear because it intensifies if I put in ear plugs and pull them out.
I also notice that if I touch my face in any way or like if I rest my...
I have burning noxacusis 24/7 right now and after initially getting it I did recover from it after about 2 months. Then a setback sent me back to square one. I was recovering again and another setback sent me back to square one again. I pushed too hard it seems but I was definitely getting a lot...
@Safari1999 oh I know! I have hyperacusis too. Basically, it’s all a bitch. I guess I’m just used to the burning ear pain which gets worse with every sound.
...to severe hyperacusis.
I strongly believe that there are 3 separate conditions: loudness hyperacusis, loudness hyperacusis with pain, and burning hyperacusis. I have the latter 2 conditions. I don’t think exposure therapy works for burning hyperacusis i.e. noxacusis. I think it worsens it...
I’ve been drinking a lot of Ginger ale and Ginger tea lately, and I believe it may be helping to temporarily calm the burning “sunburn” pain from noxacusis. Kind of like popping an Aspirin for a headache.
I was wondering if other folks with noxacusis could try upping their Ginger intake for a...
Same here. Mine is totally gone but I almost certainly still am susceptible to relapses but can handle more and more noise all the time.
Very slow improvements though. I still have tinnitus the same, but pain is gone for now, thankfully.
Loudness hyperacusis. Although I’ve had many various feelings of discomfort, I wouldn’t describe it as real pain. In the acute stage I believe I had some burning feelings but those memories don’t stick with me too much.
This is obviously very disheartening. I've seen people say 2026 is the average guess date. If that isn’t based on realism, then what are we looking at here? 2027/2028/2029.
It's crazy in comparison to Lenire, which I promised myself I would not try, but maybe it’s wise to rethink that for now...
Thank you so much for following up, and I look forward to hearing the summary! And I know it’s awful to have more questions asked when you write something intended to stop the questions. Still, the most optimistic estimations I’ve seen tend to be that the FDA approval will be by the end of this...
thanks for the reply. i had mild h for a couple months and it got moderate in march. its alot better after 5 months and i dont really get the stabbing feeling only some burning in my bad ear and some tinnitus spikes.
I get ear canal burning and sometimes deeper inner ear with odd feelings including stabbing, burning myself too, also some outer ear milder pain.
Right now researching neck/spine/TMJ anatomical dysfunctions that can lead to pressure in the area in odd ways - to the nerves, blood flow or...
The law was really efficient to jail Madoff, because he robbed the rich.
By the way, have you seen all the protests and demonstrations in France, against the pension reform?
They are literally burning Paris.
...I found this article today on how certain herbs act on KCNQ potassium channels. Interestingly, ginger, which seems to help some of us with burning pain, is on the list. And we know from research that a potassium channel activator (retigabine) "suppresses the type II fibers' response to hair...
...So, what brings me back to the depths of disparity now? My hyperacusis has returned, my tinnitus is very reactive again, and I’m experiencing burning. There are a few potential triggers for this; I’ve had a lot of chainsawing around my home for the last week, but inside my house, it was only...
@Aaron91, the patient that had a positive anecdote, did he experience the burning sensation with the first 2 shots or the last 2 shots?
I remember you said that they always inject FX-322 first before the placebo. If we find out when he experienced the burning sensation, then we will know if it...
...My hyperacusis was brutal, practically chaining me to my home. Every conversation with loved ones felt like an ordeal, triggering a painful burning sensation and a sense of fullness in my ears. It was a daily struggle, with each day feeling like a marathon, just trying to make it through...
I have had this since 2019. I don't think its drug induced. I did a lot of driving in that year without hearing protection and that did spike my T often and then also gave me ear canal burning/pain hyperacusis. With this also the palinacousis came.
When I listened to headphones one day (the volume was low) some time ago, I heard this loud popping sound in my ear. After it, I have had ear burning sensation (that had been gone for many months) and horrible reactive tinnitus. I have had symptoms of hyperacusis before but it had got easier. I...
...It also seems that tinnitus has a longer history than we might think.
But yes, it’s probably noisier overall today than ever before.
Hmmm... Sorry to hear that. :(
Has it been like this for a long time? Do you experience any hyperacusis or sensations in your ears, like burning or discomfort?
...amoxicillin at different times and still my middle ear is swollen and in pain. I'm going to an ENT neurologist to see if she can help me ease the pain. I figure it's just a very very long healing time. Does it feel like an acid burning pain in your ear? I pray this pain goes away by End of year.
...and TTTS and began the frantic Google spiral.
I’m not sure what the connection is to hyperacusis, but when my TTTS is bad, I feel a horrible burning inside of my ear, which I assume is from the overactive muscle. I believe I have read that Tensor Tympani issues and hyperacusis often go hand...
Hmmmmm, I can’t say that I remember those ear symptoms so probably not.
That’s great that the finger burning is getting better! It must be a relief.
I have been going to a chiropractor for the last two months and my neck has been feeling better. It still needs more work, though.
Hard not focus on it when its severe and both ears multiple tone and vibrations and echos just need some small relief .. i miss my old mild tinnitus in one ear didnt have the pain and Burning
Yes, sorry if I was unclear.
After my trauma, I did have pain hyperacusis (mostly burning sensation descending from the ear to my jaw and neck, sometimes even behind my eye, plus the usual aural fullness, nose congestion, etc.). And it started to improve once I started taking Clomipramine...
i mean for christ sakes the freaking twin towers was still burning with smoke literally near the time you got tinnitus, im sorry but it just blows my MIND how much time has passed from 02. God you are strong. you deserve a cure so much. please let us be the last of this generation to deal with...
...voices were low the entire time, it's just that ears with noxacusis are extra sensitive to artificial audio, and that's totally normal. The burning pain will very likely subside in a day or two. And just think, if you hadn't spoken to her, you'd still be pining for a medical professional who...
@Arseny @Tanni @Contrast @Johan_L @Bob den Hartog
Is the burning pain manifesting like burning pain similar as wound skin after burn or in some other way? I think there are 2 types of burning pain one can experience with hyperacusis but I think all of them are connected with the trigeminal...
@valeri
Can you localize the burning? Have you ever had shingles? Outside possibility of trigeminal nerve irritation (this can cause burning).
Get a proper check by an ENT.
Hey @ZFire, sorry for the delay. The work is OK, but I am a mess with yet another severely debilitating condition. I cannot sit down for even 2 minutes without severe burning pain. Spending 23 hours of the day horizontal. Nerve pain is the pits. I can’t believe this is happening.

Hi there! I've been dealing with noxacusis symptoms for just over a month now. I've been having stabbing pain in my ear canal, slight burning pain, frequent spasms of my middle ear, ear fullness, and huge tinnitus spikes. It feels like I have a middle ear infection with a sensitivity to sound...
I experienced persistent burning a few months after tinnitus onset. At it's worst, it was continually getting worse after two weeks or so, and was expanding to the back and crown of my head. I finally did some self-acupuncture around my ears, and it improved 90%+ by the next day. Now whenever...
...month ago I went to an audiologist and got tympanometry done. My ears instantly felt more full, but settled down a bit later. Two days later burning pain started in my left ear. It was constant but became worse when swallowing, when TTTS thumping occurred, and when talking and moving my neck...
...too loud (35-40 dB) after a bottle of wine and that caused a nasty flare up. Ever since I have to wear earplugs 24/7 because my ears start burning after a few minutes without them. Oddly enough I run quick experiments when I don't have them in such as running a tap, taking a leak, walking on...
...but I'm sure that my pain is caused by noise because I can feel the stabbing pain in my ear as I hear noise, and then there's a delayed burning pain.
I've had severe noxacusis since January.
I tried to live normally in the beginning, but I realized it was simply not possible. After going...
@David Vance
Hello David
I too have pain hyperacusis and get burning pains in my head and like you I am also on Gabapentin and Trazodone.
I just started the Gabapentin and was told that it will take some time before it may work as it takes time to build up in the body.
Is it working for you...
It's pure hell. I feel like it's more than hyperacusis. Everything hurts/makes my tinnitus louder, including my window unit A/C running, cars driving by outside. I got burning sensation in my ears, and I can't sleep at all.
...you're doing okay mentally. I feel like it's pretty much the same for me. I may be getting less stabbing pain but still getting aches and burning. Idk if this is a good sign? I also have a weird new tone that sounds like a star wars light saber that comes and goes in my bad ear but at this...
@CMIH -- I reached a juncture about 8-10 months into my tinnitus where my ears started burning. Would be low level in the morning, and gradually increase throughout the day, being at its worst in the evening. Plus, it seemed to be gradually getting worse. -- I had an acupuncture session...
Some food items are good for ears. Ginger, curcumin, garlic, onion, fresh fruit and vegetables, avocados, smoked salmon, dry fruits, sunflower seeds, etc...
This scream started my burning pain in the ear canals. It is non stop... I cant take it I cant... I only had pain behind the ears when talking. Now it burns 24/7
