Does anyone here have experience with Dr. Elena Maresca from Stony Brook, NY? She seems very confident in her ability to help with tinnitus and hyperacusis, but I’d appreciate feedback from other patients. Thanks!

Hey gang. I’ve had tinnitus and hyperacusis for about 15 months now. Wondering if anyone has had the same experience. I was home loading the dish washer (which normally kills my brain) and was totally engrossed in something that happened during the day - I wasn’t thinking about the dishes...

Hello forum! I have a question about hearing aids. My ENT set me up with white noise through my hearing aids to help with the hyperacusis. I noticed my tinnitus getting louder after doing this, but she said it means my tinnitus is reactive, and to continue with the white noise. My tinnitus did...

Hello forum, This is my first post in the PT support forum. I’ve had normal tinnitus for 3 and a half months. During that time, it has changed quite a bit. About a week ago, I was stretching my neck (my neck and back are a tight mess). I was putting my head upside down towards the floor...

Hello forum, This will probably be my last post for a while, as I'm starting to think that all of my time on here (as of late) isn't helping my mental state. Here's my question - anyone here think they may have had their tinnitus induced by THC, and if so, did it resolve? My tinnitus snuck...

So - I was stretching my neck out by laying on my head and dropping my head down towards the floor. While doing it I noticed my normal sounds disappeared but a new low pulse took over. I thought it was a ceiling fan left on downstairs - but no, I woke up to that same sound a few hours later. It...

Hello everyone! So, I’m getting close to the dreaded 3 month anniversary of my tinnitus and hyperacusis onset. March 12 is the day. The last few days I’m living with a moderate hiss/electric sound, that seems to have a slight pitch (not always). I can hear it most of the time. It’s mostly...

Hey gang, My tinnitus and hyperacusis seem to be all over the place lately. Today I’m feeling an ear spasm (sort of inner ear) which is weird because I’ve felt this before, but not since having tinnitus and hyperacusis. I remember getting this years ago, during conversations with people who...

Hello forum, Most of the reading I’ve found states that hyperacusis is a result of loud sound(s), suddenly or over a long period of time. Is there any evidence to support the idea that it could be the result of medications - possibly antidepressants? Best, Tom

Dear Dr. Nagler, First, thank you so much for your time. I’ve been dealing with tinnitus for the last 8 weeks. I can hear it all day long, aside from the shower. I’m a band director and musician for almost 20 years. I have a very small dip in hearing around the 4 kHz mark. I’m guessing this...

Hello forum, I’ve been reading your posts for the past 6 weeks - very helpful to know this support group is here. Thank you. I’ve only had tinnitus for six weeks, but it feels like FOREVER. I’m a music teacher/conductor/musician etc. I noticed the ring after a performance six weeks ago today...
