Still kicking, T/H not getting better but not getting worse ☹️
I don’t know what I’m looking for but basically I’m trying to figure out if anyone had the same symptoms I had at the start of their hyperacusis....
I had a bit of an episode last night. I had massive ear pain, worst it’s ever been. Went to the ER and they gave me a dose of Clonazepam and it...
Header for my profile and a reminder to myself. No headphones. EVER. Don’t risk it. Don’t dwell on mistakes either, it’s negative progress.
My location isn’t so bad atm. I’m on an acre of land out in the sticks, nice quiet nights. But the beach sounds fucking great, I’ve listened to...
@Juan Yeah I’m starting to realise I have to give it some time. The past week it’s gotten a little better, but only slightly. I believe my ears...
Unfortunately I’m in Sydney. Do you know if this treatment is covered by Medicare? There’s no way I can pay out of pocket atm.
I have been using headphones at a low volume for a while. I guess my ears finally gave and now the hyperacusis has taken root. I have been sitting...
Recently my tinnitus kicked up a notch and now I have nasty hyperacusis or ear pain or whatever. It’s extremely quiet, just a bit of wind and my...
Fingers crossed
It started 2015 with a slight ring that I hardly noticed, but I continued to to go to loud events, use headphones/earphones, loud music, basically...
Not so much, it’s kinda worse and better at the same time. Worse In the sense that it’s a little louder, but better in sense that the tone has...
@Bill Bauer helped me through an incredibly dark time in my life almost a year back. I was posting multiple threads a week and he was almost...
Tis' but another day...
Yeah better. I haven't broke down like I did since then. Even despite my T adding new tones that seem to come and go. Been keeping myself...
Keep reading stories of more and more people losing hope and even themselves to this affliction. So hard to keep positive
You and I have similar T. I'm 1 1/2 months in and I hope to get back to life, was considering dropping out of Uni but I know if do that I will...
Yeah I've been having a rough patch and using him to calm me down. I find it's much better if you paint along with him. Even in photoshop or...

I have been taking magnesium citrate and circumin.
The ward wasn't too bad. There were about 6 patients total, mostly young people. The nurses and docs were really sympathetic and understanding....
Hi all, Ended up going to the psych ward, had a good long talk with the doctors. Got some Ativan to sleep and stayed the night. Slept for about 3...
It's not just the tinnitus anymore. I'm struggling to cope. Everything was building up before this - anxiety, depression, hallucinations. Tinnitus...
Hello again. I'm really struggling to cope. The high pitched bullshit is so bad that when I sleep even with ambient sounds it takes over jolts...
@Rosemerry Have a gp that only wants to prescribe SSRI's but no way in hell am I touching those. Going to a therapist today, first ever in my...
@light rain I've been really strict about my diet since T onset. Haven't touched sugar and use salt sparingly. Very little complex carbs and try...
@fishbone I would really like to go for a walk but it's 5 degrees Celsius and I don't want a cold or anything like that. I was doing yoga for a...
Ideally I don't want to take anything. It's been 2 days and sleeping is near impossible. I have really bad head T without it and it feels as if my...
Yeah I'm a big dude and I've lost about 15 kilos. Friends say I look great, if only I felt the same though...
Can you go into detail of the effects of this drug? My brother takes it for restless leg syndrome and it works for him in that regard. Thinking...
Also recently I've been having a head pain/stomach pain and a burning sensation in my upper spine. Really want to check into hospital to run tests
Not exactly. When I slept they would be at the most 1 quarter of the potential volume. I also smoked and still do, trying to quit but T feeds...
Recently I've been having other symptoms with my tinnitus. Tension headaches and stomach cramps to be specific. Is anxiety the culprit behind...
At least that's what I blame it on. Probably doesn't help that I had/have untreated anxiety and depression for many years
Not to mention I also used headphones for movies and video games. The perfect storm for hearing damage.
I'm not exactly sure tbh. For years I slept with earphones with white noise like rain and wind. It started off as a slight ring then progressed to...
This does not seem right. Any employer would be out of their mind to do such a thing as it sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Trust me my friend, it does not mask it. However, the prominence of the sound allows my brain to maintain focus on the white noise, whereas with...
Unfortunately for me, the only time I get complete uninterrupted sleep for a solid 8 hours is through the use of my headphones and white noise...
Every now and then I'll get ear and jaw pain, specifically in my left ear and jaw. There is also an additional high-pitched ring only in my left...
This shit is mentally and physically overpowering.
I used to have visual snow after a very bad experience with marijuana. I could see it when I closed my eyes and what not. Couldn't sleep for days....
I want to but I'm scared of the long term effects. I had my hearing tested and the main frequencies are fine. So I fear that prolonged exposure to...
It's a possibility I guess. It sure as hell doesn't help. I think our anxiety brains are addicted to the sound, so to speak. It hears it, puts a...
Right now my T is going off the charts. I have two high frequency sounds, 1 in each ear, and another that seems to come and go that I have had...
You are most likely experiencing a spike due to a bad reaction to the drug. Drink a shot ton of water to flush it out of your system. Take a hot...
How have you been since your onset. Is it any better, have you habituated, new tones, how is life in general?
I honestly don't know how to describe this T. I'm hoping it's a spike. My heart rate is a million miles an hours. It's like my constant high...
I'm just so fed up and distraught. I keep thinking it can't get any worse but then the T laughs in my face and knocks it up a notch. I really hope...
I suffer from high frequency T. Recently I have been able to sleep well, but now that has changed. Now I have another higher frequency tone in...
I guess I am lucky(?). Doesn't seem like a good word to use here tbh. But I could sleep anywhere at any time due to the fact that I grew up in a...
After a spike last week, my T set itself back to baseline and I was able to get some good sleep. I was finally starting to enjoy some things in...
I will actually do that right now if I figure out how to. And also more good news. I managed to sleep for another 8-9 hours. I even woke up and...
Yes it was fantastically low this morning. Unfortunately as the day droned on it started to get a little worse. It is bearable but I'm dreading...
Hello once again. About a week ago my T ramped up from a mild tone to a high frequency after not taking care of myself and continuing to abuse my...
Hi Bill. I am feeling a lot better but only after finally achieving 9-10 hours of sleep thanks to some sleeping pills and a white noise machine I...
After 6 days of no sleep I finally got some. And yes literally no sleep. I was starting to hallucinate and lose touch with reality....
This afternoon I was sitting on my desk looking at my phone and then bam! My T starts going crazy and now I have louder ringing in both ears. Will...
It wasn't much and by the time I got back it pretty much wore off and the T took hold
Yeah I did that and it seemed to alleviate some pain. And stupidly I got curious and checked my frequency and made it a little worse. I really...
