I no longer recommend that one. Ionic liquid magnesium by Trace Minerals is far better.

The doctor may be right or wrong, but it would be foolish to not get your jaw checked out. There are cases of people who had hyperacusis where...

Tbh the answer to this is pretty straightforward. Some people heal IN SPITE of the fact they are receiving damaging sound "therapy". Others,...

I would not go anywhere near HBO therapy. A lot of people have worsened and without surprise due to middle ear pressurisation issues....

I'm in Europe, so it's OTC here. I know people in America have a harder time getting access. I've previously bought from this place but they seem...

Play with fire, get burned. Same old story for so many of us here. Welcome to the club none of us asked to join. I'll try to address the rest of...

The bullishness of some people on here despite the results of the last trial was something to behold. I'm sorry for all those who got burned...

Ah yes, shit management and hearing restoration biotech companies. Name a better duo.

I've never denied the possibility that psychological factors could play a role in the development of hyperacusis. I myself developed hyperacusis...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that some people don't respond to SGBs well when given to one side of the neck but very well to the other....

I've spoken to many people with hyperacusis and until today I thought I was the only person who has had this experience. During the first six...

@100Hz hasn't posted here in a long time. I fear the worst.

I should probably make it known that I've actually since changed my opinion. I'm no longer convinced that the cochlea has a role in this chain (at...

I also reached out to Norena, sadly with no response. I'm not sure they appreciate how closely some of us follow their work. That or they're just...

I can second this, they are silent machines, but if you want to play AAA gaming titles then a MacBook might not be for you.

Thank you for sharing. I've had private access to this for a while but was unable to share it with others. I cannot stress this enough: if you...

It's on my list of things to try, but I'm currently exhausting a few other avenues first. I'd definitely be more inclined to try Flomax though...

Buy a UAD or RME sound card/interface. Run through your speakers through the soundcard. In your soundcard software/console, you can run your...

Try to take it for two weeks at least: Daily ginger consumption eases muscle pain by 25 percent, study suggests Assuming ginger's effect is...

Huh. I was actually doing a bit more reading into this and it turns out that Clomipramine is not only a sodium channel blocker (and therefore has...

Did you have any sound-induced neuralgia in your jaw?

Reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis are not the same - take it from someone who has both. They may be part of the same pathology, but in symptoms...

I'm a bit confused you're talking about tinnitus, as this is a hyperacusis thread. Norena's model is about middle ear pathology in relation to...

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I've just ordered my own micro current device so it will be interesting to see if I have any results. I...

Hey @Lane, I see that you're one of, if not the only person on here to try micro-current therapy (albeit for other reasons). Do you think it...

Hey Vii, was just wondering if you could share any lifestyle behaviours or changes you made that you think may have helped you healing from...

I'm not convinced by potassium channel openers because I'm not convinced by the Fuchs model in general (although if you look at my post history...

I can't speak for Aleph but I think something important to note about the type II afferent theory is that it is completely experimental. In the...

Would like to suggest Arnaud Norena or one of his colleagues. His recent work is gaining a lot of traction in the hyperacusis community and think...

Jesse, can you please come back to answer a few questions? I asked previously on here whether you had any neuralgia symptoms from sound, such as...

I'm not too sure what you mean by careful. As I said, I'm EU based so I can't comment on what US customs may or may not do if you try to order it...

I can't speak for America but it's an OTC drug in most of Europe. Try this link:...

I usually take 60 mg twice a day or 30 mg three times a day, but it has an extremely good safety profile even at higher doses. The only reason why...

Ambroxol. It's a cough medicine, but has sodium channel blocking properties. Literally the only thing that has helped me manage my symptoms.

I'm honestly not entirely sure. My post was somewhat speculative. I know that capsaicin is used in topical creams for pain relief, which would...

Wanted to post an update to the above. As mentioned previously, ginger (in isolated, single doses) seems to make my symptoms worse for the...

I would get instant fluttering, like a butterfly in my ear, which is the tensor tympani basically spasming. I can't comment on raw turmeric...

Bumping this thread after reading an anecdotal case of someone seeing improvement in hyperacusis symptoms from supplementing creatine (while also...

I think it's hard to say with any confidence this is dopamine related, but a useful way to confirm this suspicion would be to take a...

Christian, how are you doing man? I noticed you weren't active here for a while

Some people anecdotally have tried anti-histamines with little to no benefit, but there has been the occasional story of something like Benadryl...

Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxant. If the tonic tensor is in spasm or overworked, it can help to relax it and calm it down. Many of us have...

@Snow, did you ever have any success with this?

How are you doing now almost 2 more months down the line? Has your quality of life and hyperacusis improved since getting the botox?

Yes, it's possible. See here

You mentioned numbness down the side of your face. Do you ever experience an achy jaw at all from sound? If so, it's possible you may have a...

Ditch the white noise generators (snake oil) before it's too late. You will only get worse.

If you genuinely think you have hearing loss you should get an audiogram ASAP. It is not exactly reliable in terms of giving a clear picture of...

It's possible you have some transient conductive hearing loss from ongoing inflammation and fullness, but it's also very well possible you may...

So as I mentioned previously, this to me is consistent with acoustic shock because you are exhibiting symptoms of referred pain (see this paper,...

I never said I was. I simply offered it, because that is what this forum is for. In fact, you were the first person in the entire thread to preach...

I take it you got ionic Magnesium in liquid form? If so, start out with 400 mg a day mixed with water or juice and feel free to up it to twice a...

Just stay away from loud noises and people while your body heals. Preferably give your ears a complete rest i.e. no TV/YouTube etc for a few...

We do not even know if she has an infection. Key word: "can". In any case, I do not have time to argue biology with you. Treatment during acute...

There is nothing drastic about anything I recommended, nor is anything I advised irreversible. The same cannot be said for most clinical advice...

Great question. The best thing I can recommend is to read Norena's paper on acoustic shock, which quite elegantly puts together a convincing...

My apologies. Good luck to you.

I repeat what I said earlier: we have no definitive animal models for hyperacusis/noxacusis. How are you so sure loudness hyperacusis is in fact...
