    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    Hey Stacken, I'll quote what I told you already: "The thing is, I didn't go about it too strategically. It began when I was listening to music on youtube while hyperfixated on a video game and decided to flip on a few of the songs I was sensitive to. I realized when I was so focused on the game...

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    You were right on the money. I didn't understand the nature of my hyperacusis as it seemed to be limited to those higher frequencies found in the song. I was so scared of making things worse that I never really put in the work to treat my hyperacusis. Earlier this year, I started seeking out...

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    Update after a long while: My t is fairly acceptable but will still spike in reaction to frequencies from that song and a select few others. Conclusion I've come to is that I have some form of hyperacusis to those frequencies which initially damaged me. Maybe reactive tinnitus as some people...

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    Actually no, but I just checked that one out. It's also pretty good! Also maybe I'll run the vocal solo on that track through the frequency filter and groove to it once and a while. That sounds pretty nice, actually. That part isn't too harsh and it's the bit that strikes me in the soul the...

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    Full feeling in ear and aching sensation. It's died down again though. I think I'll be fine so long as I steer clear of it for a good while. That song in particular actually uses a lot of really harsh sounds and mixing. The guy who did the remaster I listened to actually had a lot of complaints...

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    A lot of really encouraging news in this thread, good to hear! Here's hoping a relisten will be something I can look forward to down the line. In the meantime maybe I'll play with a pitch shift version.

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    Yeah, I thought a year might be enough time but it looks like it might take a few more. Ah well, at least there are other songs to listen too in the meantime.

    Aa The latter, I've ditched my headphones.

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    I think you're right on the money there. It's unfortunate but that's what I get for being dumb with headphones. Maybe some day I can get around it, but for now it seems like I just have to bide my time. Such is life.

    Is It Safe for Tinnitus Sufferers to Go to the Cinema?

    Cinemas are totally fine. I carry around a pair of musicians plugs that I pop in if a scene gets too actiony, shooty and explodey but that's mostly for my own comfort, I doubt my ears would be damaged in those scenarios.

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    Hey, this is encouraging news, I appreciate the input! I guess I must have some sort of selective Hyperacusis (is that a thing?) Since most other noises don't bother me at all. Just that song specifically and one other one I heard recently. -and don't worry, I threw my headphones in the trash...

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    Hey all. Quick background information: I gave myself tinnitus the spring of 2018 when I listened to Yes's "Close to the Edge" on a pair of bright headphones. I listened too long and ignored the pain in my ears thinking it was nothing. Now I have tinnitus. Thankfully I have actually learned to...
