It sounds like hyperacusis.

I did not get 3 hours of sleep until 9 months after acquiring tinnitus. Melatonin and valerian root are good natural choices for sleep.

Sounds very promising and will hopefully allay many concerns regarding timelines from clinical trials to commercialization, efficacy and safety,...

No matter the cause, I hope you get the help you need from competent doctors. I pray it fades and/or goes away completely.

Unfortunately, I will be darn near 70 by then. That’s at least 10 more years with this mess. Really.

I stand corrected. I still have moments of anxiousness with hyperacusis. It use to come and go. Now, it is here but hopefully not to stay.

When I initially acquired tinnitus; it was just tinnitus but the nasty loud painful kind. The louder it got the more ear pain. Oddly, nothing...
