So I spent a lot of time searching and trying to find MRI machines that wouldn't irritate my tinnitus and ear pain. I ended up having a scan done...

Exactly, just because it did not work very well initially doesn't mean you shouldn't try a couple more injections. If you have any sort of relief,...

Did you have it done with Botox or just the standard stuff? Because the effect only lasted for a couple days with Myriam's patient with a regular...

Everyone is different and the reason for ear issues may stem from different things. With that said, I think walking around always worried about...

Are you in the US? I've emailed Cannon and called them and they have yet to find me an MRI machine with Pianissimo. Last time they sent me a...

No one else has wanted to try the SGB was what she told me. While she did say it was moderately invasive, all the research I've done says it's a...

I hope it goes well for you. I asked Myriam during my consultation if she knew of anyone else who had been given an SGB and there wasn't anyone,...

Get some musicians earplugs, wear them if you feel like things are too loud, but don't wear earplugs unless you really need to. The small amount...

The vibration you're feeling is probably your tensor tympani muscle. It seems to be a possible cause for a lot of people here who have ear pain,...

Ah little ways off. Hope it goes well and you get some relief.

You get that SGB yet?

Never had any hearing loss, slight muffled sound for maybe a few days or so. Mostly just fullness and pain.

For many people the symptoms get better. I'm still having some issues but between ignoring it and it (I think) getting a bit better, I can...

You think you experienced an acoustic shock? What happened and what are your symptoms?

Still dealing with inner ear issues. I've been ignoring the issues as much as I can and it's definitely helped. Been able to get on with my life...

Possibly, how long did it take you to get to where you were at prior to this setback? If you get to that point quicker, than it's likely you are...

Some people will recover quicker and quicker after each setback. That would show progression.

I'm still waiting to see more people try the stellate ganglion block. It worked quite well for one patient, and more specifically blocks nerves...

I contacted Myriam Westcott in Australia. While I do live in the US, the clinic I went to was willing to try the treatments she suggested even...

That depends on your audiologist. Mine recognizes it's likely trigeminal nerve pain and not TMJ. I don't know what country you live in, but I was...

Have you tried any medications or treatment for trigeminal nerve pain? I haven't yet but it was suggested to me by my audiologist.

I think it's unfortunately a lot to ask for any of us to completely recover, but based on posts I've seen from you, you did get better regarding...

Didn't your hyperacusis get better or go away completely? Are you just lying to yourself that it's better?

Lyrica and gabapentin are both used for nerve pain. For some people it helps take the edge of the pain caused from hyperacusis. Some people have...

Have your tried any medications for nerve pain?

How did your hyperacusis start? Also you're getting tingling sensations? What are the main symptoms you have?

That's totally unfounded. The Tensor Tympani muscle is what dampens noises like yelling and chewing. Some people with hyperacusis do develop...

Yeah it's totally different. Right ear is what I think most people here consider hyperacusis. Sensitive to high frequencies, ear pain and fullness...

No. I don't think you guys even read my initial post. My left ear was subject to the acoustic shock. It was literally totally fine until then. My...

I've honestly just tried my best to ignore it lately. It's still there all the time, but living life in a shell afraid to do anything is almost...

No, the hyperacusis from 2014 is my other ear. I've been to concerts and shot guns since then and it hasn't gotten worse.

It's a private group so it looks like I can't link directly to it. You can search hyperacusis surgery success and it will come up though.

For some yes it has. You can watch videos from patients on Silvertein's website, and also on the Facebook group pertaining to the surgery. Some...

Because it is very hit and miss on who it helps. It's not a "cure", however for some it can alleviate the symptoms of whatever hyperacusis really...

Online consultation. Acoustic shock disorder seems to lead to a bunch of other issues on top of hyperacusis. Issues I've had are, hyperacusis,...

I've been in contact with her recently and have a consultation coming up. Myriam did give me some more info on the SGB though. I won't go super in...

You have acoustic shock, which can sometimes turn in to acoustic shock disorder. It took me awhile after my incident to actually figure out what...

Did you ever get over your ASD symptoms?

I've seen your recovery a few times. How were your symptoms the first 3-6 months? Did you have constant pain? Was it dull or more of a sharp pain?

You haven't been here in forever, but by chance if you ever show up again, did your symptoms get better eventually again?

Yeah I've seen a few of your posts. Did you have constant pain too? Glad to hear the pain you did have went away within 4 or 5 months. I'll be the...

Did you have constant pain at times? Or just when exposed to noise? I've definitely tried to protect my ears more lately. I really don't believe...

Yes that's what it is. I'm hoping some people from here try out the surgery and have good results. I know it doesn't work for everyone but the...

Pretty sure he's on the hyperacusis surgery success Facebook group, there's a guy named coz there. He said his one ear is pretty good now and he's...

I saw you had the oval window surgery, how are things going with it?

So you didn't feel pain with hyperacusis before? Do you know how you got hyperacusis initially? I've had it for a couple months, and am curious if...

You're already seeing improvements, if noise isn't brining you pain and it once did. Give it some more time, do and enjoy the things you are able...

Do your ears actually hurt due to sounds? If so, it is likely hyperacusis, or similar to it. Hyperacusis is generally more difficult to deal with....

Did all sounds bother you if they were loud, or just high frequencies?

You need to relax a bit. Are you still able to get through the day pretty well besides the ringing? It sounds like you don't have a ton of pain,...

How long have you been having issues? Is it only tinnitus or also hyperacusis? The occasional pain, is it caused by noise, or is it just random?...

It doesn't need to treat those things. In a perfect world we'd know exactly how to fix everything that's wrong, but in cases where we don't know...

I think it really depends on the person. There's plenty of people who've had hyperacusis and never had it return. The symptoms gman had return...

As someone currently dealing with pretty painful sound sensitivity and I have no idea when or if it will go away, stop before you regret it. Take...

Do you believe the TRT led to you actually being cured, or that you would have perhaps recovered without the treatment? And thanks for the info.

I've seen a number of your posts and how you recovered from severe hyperacusis years ago, do you know what exactly caused your hyperacusis to...

I'm also very curious about this. Right now that surgery seems like the most realistic thing that could currently help hyperacusis sufferers. It's...

100% agree. The lack of research on something that can be as debilitating as hyperacusis is a joke.

Yeah, a car alarm sounds more like an acoustic shock then an acoustic trauma. Shock is from a sound not loud enough to do actual damage...
