Separate names with a comma.
Because it's really, really prevented me from enjoying music like I used to, which used to be one of my main enjoyments. It's been horrible going...
I have barely used headphones in months. I tried them some weeks ago but realized I still couldn't handle them. What I am wondering is you think...
It took you 2 years for you to recover with therapy, while I have undergone little. I want to emphasize that in day-to-day life, hyperacusis...
@Michael Leigh Yes, I have read your case multiple times in threads such as these. I do not feel there is any need to use noise generators at...
I've made on and off threads about my struggle for over the past year with hyperacusis. It was around the middle of August in 2016 I first...
Wow, had no idea it was that bad. I googled around and saw scattered indications of it exacerbating such things, it happened but it didn't seem...
I've made repeated threads here about aspects of my struggle with hyperacusis/tinnitus. Suffice to say, I feel like I for the most part am...
I'd meant to write more a month ago, but I just lost interest and this whole thing has gotten me really down again. Since taking that...
First off, since about the end of April/beginning of May, I have seen massive improvement in my hyperacusis/tinnitus. Ever since I went to a...
I meant new in the sense of I've never seen that suggested before. But I will look into it.
Low level laser therapy, that's a new one. Seems to be something that a specialist must administer though. How might I be able to go about finding...
Pink noise helped me for a time, but then it ended up making it worse. It might help, but even if it does, you could become accustomed or...
How long did you have hyperacusis the first time before it lapsed? Was it this severe? What did you do to overcome/alleviate it?
I have predominantly hyperacusis, but my tinnitus became noticeable and pervasive for the first time back in October. I have had for sometime very...
I've posted my experiences on this board before, and I've posted about my recent experiences on another board, but not much has changed since I...
Oh, that's really too bad. I was hoping for something wearable or to function as an alternative to wearable generators, assuming I can't get those...
I think I misunderstood your original post on this. Do you actually wear those, or are they stationary? If they're wearable, I think I'd go for...
Fascinating you got your white noise generators for free. How did that come about? Were you just diagnosed and tested for tinnitus and they gave...
I went from purple noise to smoothed brown noise, and I've listened to that for several hours a day (brown and purple noise are as bad as pink...
Is experiencing bits of discomfort and irritation/pain while listening normal or to be expected though? I had the same thing going on eventually...
I've been trying out this deep purple noise recording at low volumes for a few hours now, and my tinnitus hasn't spiked at all: [MEDIA] I'll try...
White noise generators alone cost over $1,000, and the only specialist I'm aware of nearby that offers therapy combined with those would charge...
What are some other noises should I consider for therapy? I'm guessing I should avoid any that could cause it to spike?
Well I've technically always had very mild tinnitus, and even though my primary issue is hyperacusis, tinnitus has been a component, and it became...
I have hyperacusis, but a major feature of it (in recent months) has been tinnitus. I've attempted pink noise therapy with headphones on and off...
I spoke to one of the specialists at the Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary today, and while they don't seem to offer any treatment for...
And yeah, through all this, as I wore the headphones, I got into the habit of using them not just to listen to music here and there, but other...
Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and called the Otolerngology department at Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary again, and I get the impression they...
Really should have replied back to this sooner. Not much has changed since I originally posted this. I forgot to mention I did ditch wearing...
I've made a couple of threads on my hyperacusis before, but to summarize- I developed hyperacusis in August 2016 after listening to loud, often...
Thanks for the detailed reply, I'm sorry I haven't gotten back sooner, I've still been depressed and despondent about this and some other things....
So since I last posted in here, about a week ago it seemed like this recent exacerbation was about to go away, but it didn't. I'm still finding...
Since I wrote the post I've decided that wearing yellow foam plus is the best choice, I'm not sure about when I go out (as they'll be noticeable...
I developed a case of hyperacusis in August of last year due to excess listening to music loud music with high-end audio equipment on headphones....
There are of course all sorts of generic plastic earplugs/earbuds, but I would again like to know what would be best for day-to-day coping for...
I went back to the same ENT, though with a different specialist. Not a whole lot they could tell me; said my best bet would be to go to that...
I don't mean to keep bumping this thread, but until I go to another specialist, I would like advice on what more to expect and what this all...
Whoa, I didn't mean to give the impression this place was really getting to me. I altogether really haven't read much of this forum and have...
A lot happened yesterday. Things were largely uneventful, I think, until the evening, particularly when I went to the gym. Before that, I'd find...
It wasn't the ENT exactly, it was another worked who conducts the hearing tests. They didn't specify this as tinnitus either though, they said...
One last update on my situation from today, but while it has again largely subsided, I do think there has been a genuine increase in this...
I already saw an ENT, I detailed my most recent visit in the OP. Didn't refer to them as an ENT though. And the issue I got earlier has largely...
I will start Do you mean for what I just did or in general? This is something that will probably last no more than the rest of the day if that....
Well again, what really did me in was the use of the Schiit audio equipment at high volume and high gain coupled with the headphones. In fact, the...
Again, I assure you I've been avoiding headphones for months now. But do you think I should never touch them until it goes away? And that I really...
I do listen through speakers, but at low volumes. I can't really handle much more than that. Sound produced through speakers is really the biggest...
I've wondered if, when I recover, I'll have some kind of permanently induced sensitivity where things could return again or get worse. I don't...
There's only one MA specialist, but I'll check it out. How many years have you had it exactly? What caused it for you and how is it separate...
Since I can't edit my post, a couple of other details: -Don't think I made this that explicit, but while only relatively loud/high pitched noises...
I developed hyperacusis in August of last year. I'm currently 25 1/2, and for the most part, I've never really had any ear issues. Over the past...
