Separate names with a comma.
It can be ototoxic, yes. But I've never heard of anyone getting a permanent spike from it, just temporary ones.
Certainly is a theme around here, yes.
I don't need you to. Your words speak for themselves what kind of person you are. It's too bad that so many people have poured their heart out...
How can you truly get rid of anxiety when anything can make you worse?
Want to talk to H people. Soon as I load the H facebook support groups I just close. Instant anxiety.
Signs of eardrum perforation: Sudden ear pain that quickly subsides Feeling of liquid in ear Though sometimes asymptomatic. You could go to the...
Yes. Some of you did. For others like me, our life was over before it really got a chance to start.
It was a suggestion, not a demand.
I can agree that anxiety and spinal problems contribute but I think most people's tinnitus is from noise. Most people have a clear link to a sound...
I think you are right that these things can help. We know that spinal problems can contribute and that anxiety and stress can ramp up our...
This thread provided me with a lot of relief when I posted it. But remembering the words here is also what lead me to worsened hyperacusis. (4...
For tinnitus. Not for hyperacusis. If your hyperacusis is worse than your tinnitus then quality of life is still awful following a tinnitus cure....
What were the injections for?
@AZeurotuner @Agrajag364 @TLion @Bam It appears I have gotten some flak for my little post. Well then, to start out, believe it or not, Jemima...
I mean, firecrackers aren't real loud unless they go off right next to you, right? It's fireworks that you want to watch out for I thought??
How can one get sound therapy if the number 1 thing used for it hurts you.
@AZeurotuner I am not closing myself off to ideas or help or trying to make more of an effort. I was hoping you'd have something to say about my...
End.
I've been on my own. That is incredibly hard. Everyone gives up on helping me when they see how all encompassing the sum of my health problems are.
I don't avoid noise as much as you think. I am standing here working retail on Christmas Eve. I just would rather not go to restaurants for...
@AZeurotuner Well! I would -love- to have more sound therapy in my home. But sound machines are triggering so I am at a loss. I would -love- to do...
End rant. @AZeurotuner
I want someone to tell me there's a future for me because right now... I'm not seeing it Hope you guys are all happy with your 50% T reduction....
I'm not saying T isn't awful and it isn't mentally damaging. But there is not a physical barrier the way there is with physical disabilities. And...
You're right. People here should count their blessings. They whine and whine but unlike me they can still type, play video games, watch TV, listen...
I have had chronic pain for 3 years and guess what. It never got better. I never regained any quality of life. How can I expect hyperacusis to be...
I know everyone thinks they are unique when they aren't really. But when doctors shrug at my health problems and tell me to go to a university...
You understand the importance of distractions, new hobbies, and coping mechanisms for healing. Well, as a disabled person where the hell is mine?!
Please know that I am already disabled beyond hyperacusis. Watching TV was the only safe activity I had. It was also the only activity my SO and I...
We simply do not have the same body.
I can only speak for myself and indeed everyone else can only do that too. You are helpful but there is no guarantee others will respond to...
It's not a great feeling to try these suggestions and feel worse off for it. It is really, really discouraging.
I've been trying. I tried watching a movie with my SO last night. I pushed myself and could only make it half way through. Afterwards I was in so...
I can't use a sound machine because it uses a speaker and that is triggering for my pain.
Sounds that bother other H people don't. Dishes, for example, are not a bother. But speaker sounds. Phone, TV, computer, anything artificial...
@AZeurotuner I am different from other H people. I go to the grocery store, I hold down a job, I hardly use ear protection. (Cont)
Well. Let's just say I know a way. ;) And I will leave it at that.
Unlike tinnitus, I see no hope of future treatments for hyperacusis. There's nothing for us. What could a H person possibly cling to.
Yes, yes, this. I've in the past wondered how such a high percentage of women die during childbirth pre-modern era could make sense on an...
Well, I wouldn't call that normal, no. You don't know what caused your T? Have you seen an ENT?
Hey, just my opinion and not what you or your sweetie want to hear, but I think concerts should be off the table for the forseeable future unless...
@Lane has given some good advice recently about experimentation. If I hadn't taken a break from white noise, my T could still be very loud. I just...
I don't think any of us can say for sure if anything is permanent or if hearing loss occurred. Car running and scraping is quite a normal sound,...
Yep, also Type O.
Not sure I understand. Are you saying the car just now gave you a new tone? My personal thoughts are that hyperacusis does make us spike/get...
I don't think this is a very helpful thing to tell newcomers, especially the underlined part. While I don't believe optimism has anything beyond...
We have to take care of ourselves to properly love others. That means finding happiness, self-confidence, self love, not being chronically...
I like my eggs raw. I'm not dead yet and it doesn't have any impact on my tinnitus.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Wow. Can we keep this on file for whenever someone quotes a table of acceptable db levels/durations. 85-90 db for 8 hours is supposed to be "safe."
Now keep in mind I have other health problems and this is the only activity my SO and I can do together due to my limitations. -_-
Almost 4 months into worse H and I can't get through a movie without my face erupting in fiery, awful pain
Also quoting my own post to expound on this. Some years ago I randomly went to an allergist because of my chronic sneezing fits and was curious if...
You're a bit old fashioned, Michael. I am glad that TT is open for everyone as tinnitus certainly doesn't discriminate based on class or any other...
Normalcy is something we take for granted when we no longer feel normal. Normalcy is a prized and cherished feeling. Normalcy, or having a clean...
When it comes to children, for most people, self awareness concerning the subject is curiously switched off.
@Bill Bauer , @Finnigan could be right! But maybe don't give up eggs just yet? I definitely recommend every adult get tested for allergies....
How do I handle noise at a restaurant? Simple, I don't. I choose not to go because they give me bad T and H spikes that last for weeks. I did go...
Eric, I think you must have hyperacusis. Also, I responded to your post the other day. I said that db meters are better for constant noises like...
Well, maybe anyway. We do know that sleep is a very big contributing factor for tinnitus volume. I think it is certainly better than being loud...
