What progression. Lol.

Turn the volume down / Plug in an external speaker. They have more lower frequencies.

Hey people, I feel the best instrument we have for hyperacusis right now are plain old foam earplugs. They block out all frequencies well compared to other solutions such as filtered earplugs or noise cancelling headphones. I know a drug based solution may be far away as the ear structure is...

There is no 50/50 balance. Tailor your response to the situation & how your ears feel. Also its near impossible to know exactly when to protect and when not to. Sound is SOO unpredictable. Just keep doing your best.

It's been a long time with T& H. Nearly 3 years. I'm getting better at shifting my focus away for H & T and to solving other problems.

Good luck in your journey. Best I can say is protect your ears in objectively loud places going forwards & focus on your life as a whole. Focus on only problems you can fix if a further ENT appt isn't helpful

Search for these. They are slim earplugs for small canals Howard Leight Bilsom 303S Earplugs Pocket Pack, Pack of 20, 303S

On another note. The only earplugs that fit my ear! The Slim Howard Leight ones fit. Do you know where i can buy similar slim earplugs in either black or a darker colour? (other than the orange and yellow colours i know they offer) I would prefer a dark colour as i use them daily when leaving...

These are the right size for me. Can I buy them or similar slim earplugs in Black colour for discreet use?

Yeah... no... don’t opt to sever the tendons. Big risk and no guarantee it gets better.

To make your voice quiet with earplugs, push them deeper till theres a full seal but that's slightly uncomfortable

Apple AirPod pros have the feature without the band.

I haven’t found any. I know that noise cancelling headphones and earbuds do the job and they make your voice not sound loud in your head but they have a slight’ pressure’ sensation.

I hope you find a way to deal with this!

Really depends. Did you feel pain when slapped? Did the noise feel loud? For me both was yes and it was permanent

In before this is taken out of context and people think we have a cure.

Stop beating your meat. Stop busting nuts all over yourself.

In addition your protected from any sudden loud screeching sounds on the phone which are known to cause tinnitus

When is the 1st person on here getting their device?

Similar thing happened to me ... about 2 years ago. Still got tinnitus, still can't pop my ears, still sensitive to dishes and all that crap. Was also told by GP it could go away but ENT told the truth that there's no cure and they have no idea what will happen. They advised therapy and that...

Check out dBud for some adjustable discreet earplugs

I use the paper towels and also have hyperacusis so i don't use em' anymore

Severity matters the most. But the title is about mild to moderate. And in my own opinion and experience mild can be coped with well as it's not intrusive hence why it's mild and moderate can be coped with okay but its more difficult. I'm just saying that the wildly different mindsets and...

brb title says mild to moderate not severe...

Yes. Really depends on the person though. Some people are fighters other people give up. For example the same person may loose their right arm. 1 may get adapt in a year. The other might continue to think back on the situation over and over. It's difficult to change the mindset, which is the...

What hobbies do you have now?

I have hyperacusis but I barely struggle with social events. That's not because the noise sensitivity has gone away ... it's because I don't go to them.

I have huge occlusion effect holding conversation with earplugs in. Ringing also gets louder, I don't know the OP's situation but, I know this option wasn't helpful for me in the past

Agreed. I want to see results. They use fairly vague terms about tinnitus improvement. Worst thing would be to pay all that money and not see the kind of change you hoped for. Fingers crossed we'll hear positive things!

Haha. I wouldn't trust a random article predicting a date for a cure. I think People just use 5-10 years because it sounds long term and conservative. In 2030 the cure for tinnitus will probably be 5-10 years away aswell lol.

4 years later. still believe this?

It increases my tinnitus so I'll have water thanks.

Updates?

That's great. Have you heard about the simple vagus nerve stimulation? That can't make it worse can it?

I want to do something about my tinnitus now! Would using a shock pen in the nerves in my neck and a signal timing app be able to mimic somewhat the results of this trial?

Hoping for a treatment soon

Its running late. The trials are now commencing October / November.
