Separate names with a comma.
My son has H but not T so there isn't always a correlation. You did say "in many cases" though. The opinions I trust least are the ones that say...
I think it is like watching a lit fuse. I don't like that I do that. It is disconcerting to others and they look at me funny for doing it. It's...
No vertigo and my son has no ringing. Because of matching symptoms for the same (left) ear - the crumpling sound masking all sound above some high...
Maybe you are the only one who told him you have tinnitus. It is inconsequential to a lot of people.
Something you may find interesting since the T & H seem to overlap. My son has H but not T. Loud noises like live music and some theater movies...
I think that is where the DSM may have it right. I startle at abrupt sounds, sometimes even if I know they are coming. Opening a soft drink can is...
I don't think they claimed that it accounts for all hyperacusis. They are more concerned with the nerves than the hairs, though both are involved....
Scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine did a study that indicates nerve damage in cochlea is largely to blame for hyperacusis....
I just read an article in a semi recent New Yorker magazine that detailed the nerve damage behind the hairs and said that scientists have...
If you dig around for the science behind t & h, you will learn that you cannot make it physically better but you can make it physically worse by...
I think the most common answer is that it is the inner ear, specifically the hairs in the cochlea and nothing can be done to replace the damaged...
I suggest you believe the medical professional who prescribed the medications for you. He said you didn't need to taper down. If yo don't believe...
That's an answer, but not the only answer for everybody. The flip side of what you say is that I have never spent anywhere close to 4 years angry...
I think I have a little OCD in the mix with my bipolar disorder (as well as a bit of ADD). My hangups are little things. There are two switches to...
Some chronology in the post and responses. The poster who has had it about a year says fight it, the OP who has had it about two years is turning...
Programmer with a private office and limited interaction. I am very lucky. Besides the quiet for H & T, I also have some privacy for some of the...
My H has come and gone many times. It has gotten particularly bad of late, but it is like getting a headache; in fact it sometimes causes one. But...
So I went and looked for Josef Rauschecker, and watched his TED Talk. That is very interesting. I have mentioned in other threads that my T & H...
I get that yours is different. I just meant that we are alike in being willing to accept that we may not have a physical cause.
I subscribe to the unpopular theory that a lot of tinnitus is a mental health issue. I think it is unpopular mostly because of stigma. You are...
I had tinnitus while my hearing was still perfect. I have some loss in the upper registers, but that's only been in the last 10 or 15 years; I...
Obviously, I cannot enforce this, but I would hope to see just those who are habituated say what that means and how it feels to them. I think some...
I use silicone a lot. If they are dangling, they are not seated properly. One of the three rings will fit your canal. When properly seated, they...
Maybe I am more in the minority than I realized. I don't have a specific incident that triggered either T or H and spikes correlate with mood...
I think that sometimes it goes the other way - T & H can become problems related to MH issues. H in particular is often attributed to PTSD or...
In my research (searching and reading) on tinnitus & hyperacusis, various mental health conditions are listed as possible causes. I think it is...
I have never heard of anyone being exposed to a loud noise and not get at least temporary ringing. I think that is perfectly normal. There seems...
I take a strong anti-psychotic at night for sleep and to help prevent mania. I could probably sleep without when depressed but I never know when...
What about hyperacusis without tinnitus? My son has that. Both he and I have crackling in the left ear, also. We can both make it happen without...
We crazy people prefer the term "sanity challenged". I have occasional delusions as part of my bipolar disorder so I guess I am habituated to...
I gave in to the dark side; I play a MIDI keyboard into the computer and have the output at a very low volume. I don't buy into the thinking that...
I have had tinnitus for over 30 years and it took maybe a year or two to get habituated. I have had hyperacusis for over 20 years and have never...
My son has hyperacusis without tinnitus.
This is about H, not T. As mentioned, my son does not have T. I am curious if others have relevant knowledge about H being a separate hereditary...
I take them for arthritis and spinal stenosis. At high doses, there is some effect but it is temporary. Lots of things cause spikes. Downside is...
Following up with a couple of things. One thing I forgot to mention is that my son does not have constant T. The second is that I found that...
Docs give me the short answer but I kind of get it. I have a couple of things going that are listed as common causes so unless those are resolved,...
Agree strongly. The good news is it really can be pretty much ignored even when it is very loud. The bad news is that it takes a while. As...
Stigma is stupid, but like most stupid things there is a lot of it in the business world. I tell very few people in the office and I have put up...

Interesting. I have a 3 way chicken and egg thing - I have had arthritis most of my life, I have type II bipolar disorder and I have the H & T....
I guided rafts decades ago and I like to think back n what a fellow guide would say when someone had a complaint early in the trip "Not yet,...
I have read PTSD can be a cause. I have type II bipolar disorder, which is also listed as a possible cause. I hate the startle response because it...
I get this for some sounds even if they are not loud and even if I know to expect them when my hyperacusis is bad. For example, someone opening a...
Yes, several times with ENTs and audiologists.
I have had hyperacusis for several years. I have type II bipolar disorder and that is a common potential cause. But mine is not the same in both...
I think it was around 1985 when I first started having intermittent tinnitus and it was around 2000 when it became persistent (24/7). It has ebbs...
