...my tinnitus. I had a good time. Hyperacusis was a real pain on the plane, but I survived using double protection. It was trending better after...
I’m glad today has been a better day for you! I’m just truly lost with all this shit now, yesterday I did loudish stuff and I don’t think it has...
...with time? It all started because I had a ringing on my ear, took a plane for travelling and used earbuds at a high volume. When we reached...
Yeah, the brain makes no sense. Maybe it's the "central gain"? Since maybe our low frequencies are just fine (no damage whatsoever), but the gain...

...much when they were perceived at normal loudness. Frankly, the small planes are interesting - actually I did not mind them at all before....
@Brian Newman, yeah man, I am currently in the living room lol. The planes don’t sound as loud here. Hopefully I improve, regardless I’m moving...
...hyperacusis and tinnitus. I used earplugs in the terminal, in the plane, on takeoff and landing, never noticed any problem other than what...
Hi there Juan. So many websites related to tinnitus/hyperacusis state that earplugs are useful during the flight and some say the opposite - as...
Yeah they definitely won’t man. If only money grew on trees I would get a private island. Hahah I would be healed in a year.
Hi, EarPlanes plus earmuffs for takeoff and landing. You can use noise cancelling headphones during the flight if you need them. I wouldn't use...
...to loud tv shows. Cars don’t bother me anymore, lawnmowers, planes, dogs barking, etc. Now my goal is to protect my progress and not...
How are your vibrations doing? I started with them this week and they are driving me crazy.
...metal. Speaking from experience. I can handle low frequencies like planes, but hammers will make my tinnitus instantly go crazy and deafened....

...I wanted to ask you if you had any issues with taking the plane and flying to other countries and if it did anything to your hyperacusis...
...It is a short 1 hr 30 min flight. I plan on sitting as close to the plane as possible and using EarPlanes during ascent and descent and maybe...

I can do everything now. When I'm outside I feel absolutely normal.
Btw I forgot to ask (or maybe I did), can you travel by plane, train, car? Flying again is my biggest dream, but having a setback from the subway...
There are earplugs specially for flights. I have not had experience with flying since tinnitus, but are they useless or even dangerous?
I have not been on a plane since my hyperacusis started. On the big 747s the Business Class up top is quite long and the back of that area is...
...(Peltor X5A earmuffs) I can still feel the vibrations of the flying planes. Could this potentially be causing a setback or am I just...
Do you get pain afterwards?

...about. Just please please please if you can chose your seat from a plane diagram, stay away from the galleys, restrooms and of course engines.
Thank you for support. I remember how I stayed at home during my first 3-4 months with this condition. Went out only to buy food. Lost my job.

...So your story is a good sign. Can you travel by car/train/plane/subway by any way? Mine started in March 2021 with mild hyperacusis, then in...
Thank you so much for all the information. You are right, we can't micro manage everything. My anxiety is getting the better of me as my return...

Same going on 2+ months for me. Fans, car engines, AC, air planes, etcetera all give me distortion sounds. Even some voices. I wish I knew what...
Has this gotten any better for you? I think for me it has somewhat but is still noticeable, and I want to not notice it...
