Separate names with a comma.
I’m typically a positive person, but this thing has beaten me. It really can destroy your life.
I’ve had many spikes over the years. Dealing with one now. All I can say is, try to stay calm. I’ve had spikes last a couple days to months on...
Covid happened. Went from white noise in a quiet space to bass tones I hear over everything. Hard to be back here again. Breathe.
My hyperacusis has been beating me up pretty good the last couple of years. I’m wondering if there are any more stories/opinions from people...
Still alive! H is rough but T is just part of me now. Hope you’re well. : )
Thanks for asking! Learning to live with the T. Looking into an operation for the H though. Have a new assignment at work because of the ears, but...
I have the molded plugs and earasers. The molded ones are good for lots of playing- hard to talk with though. The earasers are easier to teach...
Funny you ask- as of this week, I'm no longer conducting band rehearsals. It's just too loud and def the cause of my T and H spike. I'm now...
Haven’t needed to come here in a while. Summer was good for my ears-just a hiss. Now The crippling bass tones have returned. Breathe♂️
It really is a cruel joke. Had about a month of just low white noise (in quiet spaces). Now it sounds like a party in there all day long. ♂️
Every time my tinnitus lowers to a reasonable level and I think I’m on the mend…. Boom, it goes crazy again. Hang in there friends.
This is a fun thread, and I love that it’s so positive. Music has been most of my day for a long time. I love to compose, improvise, create and...
Near silence in my right ear for about ten minutes. Didn’t last, but really nice. It was actually weird to hear nothing.
Life is full of compromises. If I could be rid of my H.... I’d be ok with the T.
Ears got very loud after my last flight. Seems to be fading now. But thanks for asking!
Guess I’ll try to avoid planes for now on.............
I’m noticing a pattern with my T. 1 month of white noise followed by a month of pitches. It’s happened about three times now.
@AliasM, I wish it went away. It never left my ears... the head tinnitus did go away though. And I feel your pain - I remember it being very...
@AliasM @akirakurosawa, my head tinnitus lasted several months and then vanished. But... my tinnitus changes a lot. Most types that I’ve read...
I’ve had a couple bouts of head tinnitus. They both went away. It is possible.
Another week of white noise (which I really don’t mind) as compared to crazy pitches everywhere. Hopefully it lasts this time. H sucks.
I’m hoping this isn’t forever. I thought I was passed the H a couple times, but I wasn’t. Looking forward to better days. Hoping you get to enjoy...
I’m really at a loss. I’m starting to sell instruments that I can no longer play. T and H wear you down.
There’s just no end to this.....
There’s a lot to think about here. I know I have a slight loss in hearing around 6 kHz and based on what my audiologist said, there is damage to...
Thanks everyone. If I can ask one more question... Is there a difference between pain hyperacusis and hyperacusis? I assumed there was...
@Orions Pain, my pain is a little different. No burning or jaw pain. It’s more like,volume comes in much louder than you’d anticipate... and it...
@Michael Leigh, thanks for your response. I have read your posts in the past. I did see a specialist who set me up with hearing aids that would...
Hey gang. I’ve had tinnitus and hyperacusis for about 15 months now. Wondering if anyone has had the same experience. I was home loading the dish...
Almost a year in. My T and H still change all the time. I have amazing weeks followed by pretty terrible weeks. I can’t make sense of it.
BAD Head cold and my tinnitus is doing crazy things. Maybe from blowing my nose so much? Everything feels clogged and loud. Normal?
@Michael Leigh Thanks for your note, Michael. I’ll be trying this again in one hour intervals. I was really hoping to be further along at this...
Hello forum! I have a question about hearing aids. My ENT set me up with white noise through my hearing aids to help with the hyperacusis. I...
Tonight-T lowered to the point I had to listen for it. I felt normal. It was strange. My H was killing me all day. A little gift at the end
Not sure why my T changes so much. New head sounds sneaking up on me in very quiet places. Guess I’ll try my- eat nothing tasty diet. Lol
I hate spikes.T and H have jumped -no obvious reason. Progress has been good lately, but it feels like a huge leap backwards. Stay positive
@tbuzz89 I’d say that it continued to get worse (in terms of adding new sounds) for the first five months. I started with pure tones in both ears,...
Yes- we need to hold onto the small victories. My tinnitus is annoyingly loud today, BUT... from it’s worse point - I’m 90% free of the fluttering...
I no longer hate myself. I can even feel bits of normalcy from time to time. I DO hate: dishes, silverware, children screaming and eeeeeeeee
The normal pitches are still there but I’m staying hopeful they will fade.
Lastly, if I can’t deal with the sound, I put in my hearing aids with some white noise to offset everything in my head. Since I’ve started...
I have three different methods. Sometimes I go to a very quiet space- accept the sounds, and eventually they start to become secondary to my...
6 months today. What I’ve learned:meditation, exercise, clean diet, and moving on with life are all key pieces to recovery- at least for me.
@Tara Lyons I wish I had better news, but nope - still very much a part of my life. I’m 5 months in and my tinnitus has continued to change... or...
Had a couple good days. Tinnitus didn’t rule my existence. It almost seemed lower. Today was super stressful and my T is as loud as ever.
@Tara Lyons I love thes e- the most comfy earplugs I’ve ever tried. I also have the molded musician plugs, and the earasers are more...
I’m in the same boat with the music. I started with crazy full head noise that settled in one ear, then both ears, then head as well, mostly back...
Mine has added sounds since the onset. Hoping for a turning point soon....or a miracle...or a cure....
5 months yesterday. When does this get easier?!?!?!
Ok. Trying the gluten free diet. Nothing to lose except a few extra pounds and maybe some T decibels. H is getting much better. T Hates me.
Hate this
Should’ve been more clear. The note D. It changed this morning to a g... then back to D.
Just like that- back to d.
Right ear sounds different today- the pitch changed... and a little louder than usual. D to a g. Maybe the Gabapentin...
Great post. Thanks for this. I’ve spoken to friend who has habituated - I asked “so there’s a light at the end of the tunnel?” He responded with-...
Low drone is back in my left ear. Was really trying to be positive yesterday. There is no mercy.
@Renee W Thanks for the note, Renee I’ve been struggling pretty bad on this end. Just started meditation a couple weeks ago and am trying not to...
Thank you for this post. Do you remember when it got easier? I’m 4 and a half months in, and it fills most of my day. Wishing for my old self back.
Interesting. I’ve tried the garlic oil out of desperation. Unfortunately, it did nothing for me. Felt nice though. I’m think the shower is doing...
Anyone’s H spike with allergies? I always get them this time of year. Wondering if it might be contributing to my H spike.
