    Tinnitus Masking: Bone Conduction Headphones (e.g., Aftershokz) — Share Your Experience

    ...But then, an ear infection and an inappropriate ENT procedure caused a long-lasting worsening. Since that moment, my tinnitus has become very reactive to most of the sounds around me. Have you found any ways to make your tinnitus less reactive? Any strategies or tips to share? Thanks a lot!

    @snizzleberry I barely have since my hell started two years ago, just was always careful of surroundings and sound exposure as much as I could be. With reactive T and very sensitive ear canals, it’s hard to get the benefits of earplugs without also dealing with irritation and exacerbation.

    Thanks for all your updates. I have left unilateral reactive T and loudness H for about 2 months now. I had my first instance of tinnitus back in 2004, which I had habituated.

    Reactive H isn't really a thing imo. Took my reactive T and H about a year and a half of resting before I saw Signiant change. At 8 months is when I first notice subtle change. I also was carful with my ear and wore filtered ear plugs outside the house.

    Reactive Tinnitus and Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)

    My T seems to be quite reactive. When I try white noise my T goes up quite drastically after some hours. Anybody with experience with this? Is TRT the right way to go anyway?

    Tinnitus Goes Reactive After 20 Years

    I have had tinnitus for 22 years this spring, and I have been living OK with it for most of the time. The last couple of months it has changed, and from what I read, it is now reactive. Some people will call this Hyperacusis, but to me it makes no difference what we call it. Is it possible...

    That’s really great to hear, is your reactive T improving? I’m in a right muddle, moved onto carbamazepine and it definitely helped lessen the reactive Morse tones but then created an additional electrical zap which was probably more annoying. Stuck now to know what to do best!

    Yes, Reactive Tinnitus Again

    ...Easter eggs together, you know, those plastic ones, and in my worsened ear that now has tinnitus, guess what? there is a "ring" coinciding with the simple " snaps" of a plastic egg. Very low on the db scale, yet it REACTS to that. This IS reactive T. This is IMO, a part of H. Happy Easter!

    @ErikaS I would rather turn it around and say it is a greater chance for you that it will actually help you - in total. It might wind up t from time to time, but nothing permanent. Unless you do something "stupid". I've worked out with reactive t for more than 3 yrs now.

    So basically all of my tones seem to be reactive. So maybe snoring makes the T louder, but if that is the case, earplugs would not work because of the occlussion effect?

    @4Grace The volume of my T never really was the problem. It's the reactive T and diplacusis that are making things difficult. But I think i'm still in the mild category and now that I got my anxiety under control (most of the time) it is getting better.

    @MiaVIL I was struggling a lot from 2003-2007. Then I found a way to live with my T. Today it is hard for me to understand why I struggled so much because back then my T was not reactive. How hard could that be? But I guess it is all relative

    Yeah, my reactive tones are humming! from the the AC. I used fan noise to sleep for years before T. It was a tough road having to give that up and just listen to my head noise. It's much better now. Can sleep without benadryl or hydroxyzine and my head is LOUD.

    @snizzleberry I have good news for you. If you can only hear it with ear plugged, and dead silence around you (aka sleeping), you will habituate very soon. I can hear it over most soundscapes, if I want - but most of the time it doesn't bother. Tinnitus that is (not talking about reactive t and h).

    T sound is super super high pitched 'eeeeeee. ' Even though H is only in the right ear, it's hard to distinguish if the T is rooted in any single ear.

    Were you already homebound since the start or after worsening? I'm able to go outside and somehow work a little bit with protection without the H worsening. But the reactive T usually has something to say about it.

    Hey, I’m 3 months into T that has developed into reactive/spiking from conversations-level volume in the past 2-3 weeks. How did you go about with your exposure therapy in the beginning? If I even put on white noise on my phone with the volume 1 button press above mute is enough to spike me.
