A bit maybe. The normal constant tinnitus doesn't really bother me that much anymore tho so it is hard to say. I can live with that. I definitely...
About 6 months. I'm not completely out of the woods yet. I'm still susceptible to spikes if I'm not careful. But it's a night and day difference...
I'm doing much better. I believe what has helped me most is correcting my posture, doing daily stretches to try to keep my muscles loose, and...
My H has faded to very manageable levels. For the most part, I'd say my noise tolerance is now just a bit below normal. I do believe over-activity...
In that case I would suggest doing something similar. Work on your posture, loosen up your neck, see a TMJ specialist (dentist), and also possibly...
I'm still seeing slow but noticeable improvement. What has been helping me is working on my posture. I do lots of excersizes for this. Switching...
It is removable. But I am to wear it 24/7 except when eating. I have to say it HAS helped me sleep better. I slept through the entire night the...
Not sure how much of mine is TMJ related, but it does fluctuate a lot. However, I've never had actual pure silence since it started a year ago....
Hmm... Have you ever sought treatment? LVI may all be marketing mumbo jumbo, but that's what I'm trying to figure out. My current orthodontist...
Yes I am. That wouldn't worry me too much about that, personally. Pretty much every MD I have seen has some form of tinnitus. It is so common, his...
Hello again. Thanks again for all of your insight. I would just like to ask if your dentist you have been seeing for TMJ is LVI certified? It...
I just wanted to say mine has improved a lot. It's still there a little bit, but nothing like it was. Sometimes it will spike and get much worse,...
If it's one or the other I would say the tympanogram is the much more likely culprit. TTTS and hyperacusis go hand in hand with my sound...
Try massaging your neck. Getting the SCM muscles to loosen up. Get a professional massage. Multiple if you have to. Can also massage yourself....
Could be TMJ Disorder. Might be worth looking into it if you haven't already.
Dunno bout all that. But I do know that sleep is the most important aspect of maintaining good health. So getting good sleep should absolutely...
No. They can cause setbacks in your hyperacusis depending on how sensitive you are, but they won't damage your actual hearing cells. If they do...
I was in a cryochamber yesterday. -200 degrees. While I was in there, I had floaters like crazy. Felt like I was in the middle of a blizzard. I...
Sounds like you have hyperacusis.
I'm beginning to suspect TMJ as a Yes there has been improvement. It's been all over the place. First started as just one new tone (reactive)....
I hope so. Music was my passion. I may be too afraid to ever play in a band again though.
I'm a musician too. I had to quit my band and music altogether when this H started 4 months ago. It was indeed devastating, but I saw no way...
Unfortunately most insurance doesn't cover hearing health at all. At least here in the US. They consider it "cosmetic," whatever the F that means...
I think things will get better for you by the time those drugs come out. If not, perhaps they will cure you. But something tells me you won't need...
Has there been any explanation for this to date? This always made no sense to me. Or even a theory?
Is it cold where you live?
This did indeed help me. As I am struggling with hyperacusis and thinking about doing TRT. One question, is your audiologist trained in TRT? Or...
Holy crap. That's amazing. Awesome news!
Distortions started almost 4 months ago. Along with hyperacusis and new tinnitus tones that are highly reactive. I've had normal non-reactive...
I'm in the same boat. Sometimes it is worse, sometimes it is better. And it changes its mind what it wants to react to. Used to get it in the...
It can. See a Dentist who specializes in TMJ if you suspect TMJ could be causing your symptoms. It's also other things. May need to also correct...
Some sort of biofeedback therapy I guess. From https://www.ondamed.net/en : "The practitioner stimulates the patient's body with a hand-held...
I believe there is. TMJ can do messed up things to your ears. Can even cause hearing loss.
Do you have TMJ disorder? Maybe it's causing the hyperacusis?
If yours is really mild and can only hear the ringing if you plug your ears, the best thing you can do is leave and never come back here. People...
Was there a worsening before things got better? I'm finding that most of these exercises make symptoms worse. I'm only a few days into doing them.
Which musician's earplugs do you have? You should be able to to hear ppl talking. I have a pair that are 15 db and I can always hear ppl fine. I...
Are they still recruiting for this at all? I live an hour and a half away from one of their facilities.
I think you are making a good choice. It made mine worse. I had the same thoughts you do. It's a disgusting sound, how can it be good for you? But...
Thank you so much for the well thought out reply and advice. I will come back to this and reread it several times I am sure. I am so happy that...
I did this for the first time last night because I now suspect forward head posture and TMJ might have something to do with my newly acquired...
If you have hyperacusis, shouldn't you be listening to pink noise instead of white noise?
Are konftec's lasers considered new powerful LED or older lasers?
This. I've seen 15 or so health practitioners ever since getting tinnitus and every. single. one. of them says they too have tinnitus, but it...
I get the same feeling in my ears when I drink homemade ginger tea. But the effect is immediate. Not sure if it helps my hearing symptoms though....

Dunno about muscles, but I'm pretty sure it can show nerves and cartilage.
This is so nice to here. I'm in the process of getting a mouth splint made for my TMJ. Praying it helps like it helped you.
I just had one done last week. It was not noisy. Nothing like an MRI. I was in and out of there in 2 minutes. It confirmed I do have TMJ issues.
Tinnitus definitely increases in volume when I chew down. And tones go up in volume to 20/10, filling my whole head, when I yawn. Had a 3d xray...
This describes mine very well. Except my hyperacusis is a little more than slight. And after onset of hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus, I now...
I've experienced the same symptoms. It's important to not overthink all of this. It will get better. But the more you think about it, the harder...
Dud you end up trying keppra?
Just saw this. Thank you for posting. I am a musician too. Also a guitarist. Struck with hyperacusis too 3 months ago, and I immediately had to...
Street noise is fine. It is under 80db. Unless someone honks their horn near you or sirens go by. In which case just cover your ears. Or if there...
They should. You'll just need to be careful around loud sounds to not reaggravate it. Rule I follow for now is anything over 75db, wear ear plugs....
I know it's hard. I know your concerns are real and terrifying. But try not to worry. It sounds like your T is very mild. Mine used to be the...
You are experiencing dysacusis (sound distortion). And it is indeed a form of hyperacusis (sound sensitivity).
Yes take a long hiatus from the band stuff to give yourself a chance to heal. I had to do the same. And don't worry about flying. Just bring...
One theory for my T is also a virus that attacked my left ear. This is where I have some minor (-20db in upper frequencies 8khz+) hearing loss....
