Separate names with a comma.
I know for a fact that talking on the phone can make T permanently worse, because that happened to me a few years ago. It wasn't a regular call...
Yeah, I've had this happen a few times too. I'll tell someone I have Tinnitus, then they say "Oh, yeah, I have that too!", then on further...
It was the same kind of plane, and I was sitting in about the same seat, as far forwards away from the engines as I could afford. So yeah, my...
Ah. Sure. In the end I did take that flight. And the flight there went fine, as before I wore noise-cancellation headphones the whole flight and...
It seems I downloaded it with no problems here in the Netherlands (via the Dutch Amazon site). Thanks!
That sounds like a really bad idea.
Symptonen zijn denk ik ook wel iets minder dan het vroeger was ja. Ik denk dat als je er minder mee bezig bent je lichaam het ook minder opmerkt,...
Hoi dboy, ik heb nog veel last. D.w.z., geluid is nog steeds luid, en ik vind het nog steeds vervelend om in lawaaiige omgevingen te zijn, en moet...
Hoi @bekker, ik ben nog steeds niet begonnen aan de TRT, dat heeft vooral te maken met de kosten. Dat is geld wat ik op dit moment helaas niet...
Pretty clever.
Math! Woo!
My hearing definitely has been 'weak' all my life. I remember as a kid we had an old TV and its volume slider was broken, sometimes if someone...
Oh, yeah, sure. I'll post here once I've received them and got to try them out for a while.
Yeah, I haven't heard that before. People can get T in all kinds of weird ways, the ears are so fragile, at least for some of us. :/
I backed it. I'm not sure they'll really do what they promise (always the problem with Kickstarter and the like), but if they do, I want a pair....
How did a mobile phone cause your T? EMF? Electromagnetic field? I got a big increase in my T&H from talking on a cellphone too long. Personally I...
Yeah, as I said, in most cases I found people report no lasting issues.. although there are also a few stories of people even getting T from...
Same thing happened to me. I had moderate T&H for three years, stayed away from all loud noises to prevent exacerbation. Then I spoke on the phone...
Hello again Sara. Yeah, wait, I know... But it's already been three months and I'm not sure it's even getting any better at all yet. How long...
My situation; I've had moderate T&H for a few years now, but about three months ago I suffered a setback which made both of them much more...
As for not letting it affect my life... I don't really have a choice. I'm in my late thirties, I live alone, and T&H are not a a valid reason for...
I try to avoid wearing earplugs because I've read in several places that that can actually make the ears more sensitive. But my ear hurts so...
My way of life? Well, I'm trying to stay in quiet places as much as possible of course. I'm very lucky, I have a quiet job (office job with my own...
Up until this setback happened I could manage my T and H on my own so I never needed to try pink noise before. I listen to it occasionally now,...
I try to remind myself that apparently for a lot of people H slowly gets better over time. It's been 2,5 months now since this happened to me but...
Hello Sara, thank you for asking. Unfortunately not really. :/ My T might slowly be going down a little bit, but it's still at least 50% louder...
Medical professionals haven't really helped me with this either, more the opposite. None of them even ever mentioned steroids, I only found out...
It may seem impossible now, but most people eventually get used to (habituate to) their T and don't really get a strong negative emotional...
Indeed, they seemed to not want to really respond to my questions but rather tried to get me to just believe in pink noise / TRT. Yeah, I kind of...
I ordered the 'official' pink noise CD from The Hyperacusis Network a few days ago, waiting for it to arrive now. People there maintain that it's...
Well, I don't know. I think it makes sense what they say; if one starts blocking all kinds of (normal level) sounds that would make the ear less...
Well actually my H bothers me more than my T. My T only really troubles me at night, my H troubles me all day, and causes my earpain too (I...
This. T is a chronic and potentially life devastating illness, and H even more so. And they can be caused by being in the wrong place for one...
Hello Christine, thank you. It's been a month now since this happened to me and I would have liked to write something now along the lines of "it's...
I'm up to level 10 now. This game has done the impossible, it's made going outside fun!! :D But seriously, it is good exercise, and encourages one...
Well I hope it works out for you anyway. If I ever do end up going to Into Ears I'll let you know how it went there.
I see! I live in Amersfoort but I'm willing to travel to any place in Holland if they have something that can help me. Currently my H bothers me...
Sorry to hear it's not really going better yet. What T habituation course are you taking exactly? I'm still considering Into Ears myself, but the...
I went on a holiday to Japan after I got T (and H too). Had a great time, and neither the flights nor the things I did there made my condition...
Yeah, that's how it seems doesn't it. New discoveries all the time, but then it takes like four years to convert it from research to reality, and...
Hm, ok. Guess we'll have to see how it pans out. It's good news either way, but the more people this can help the better of course.
So just to check; this drug is completely useless for people who've had T for more than six months or whatever, right? So great news for new...
I just caught my first four Pokemon! :D Found an egg too!
Pink noise seems to be the de facto treatment for Hyperacusis, so as someone whose H recently went from 'moderate' to 'strong' I have been looking...
Ding ding ding! :D
Good luck hartje, I hope you manage to find some relief somehow sooner or later!
Haha, exactly. Maybe when I'm retired, haha... (That's a joke, I'll have been cured, habituated, or have blown my own brains out long before then,...
I'm not sure about some of your tips but I like this one a lot, haha. I wish this was an option for me. :D
Can anyone guess my favorite game of all time? :D Another game I play a lot (and I mean a LOT, recently passed 5000 hours) is Team Fortress 2....
Might want to look into noise-cancelling headphones if you really worry. I flew to Japan and back wearing those with no (permanent) worsening of...
Acoustic trauma was what started this all for me, being exposed to the sound from a megaphone at very close range to be exact. Yes, I was very...
Had moderate T&H, was mostly habituated after 1,5 years or so. Now I've recently had a setback, the intensity of both my T and H went to 'severe',...
There's a dance club in Germany called Tinnitus. Yeah.
Yeah, okay. But it will be a while. First I have an appointment with the ENT next month and I'm sure Into Ears has a waiting list too..
I've read stories of people that say they've habituated to 'jet engine' level T, so it should be possible, yes. The sound won't hurt you (it's not...
Hm, I see. Yes, I did a quick search for 'Xanax' on this forum and a lot of warnings popped up... And I guess it just makes H go away temporary,...
Xanax, I looked it up, sounds like that's something that calms the nerves? Or did it actually reduce the intensity of your H too? Then I'm...
Yes, indeed, but I guess we should stick to English, haha. And yes it is... GPs usually don't know much more about T&H than that it exists and...
That's a terrible thing to say to someone in that situation, yeah, especially coming from a doctor!! Bizarre! I assume you switched to another...
Sounds good. Gives me a bit more hope for the (long-term) future.
