Yes definitely. It can be pretty severe for a few days to week after sound incidents. If I'm able to have a good week without any harsh noises, my...
@MindOverMatter thanks for your response! That's helpful to hear your experience. I will try to apply some of this into my routine. I'm currently...
I got an Xbox One S which is a virtually silent console (speaking as someone with severe, housebound hyperacusis). The only catch is the...
Love you bro! I'm definitely fighting. How have you been?
@Juliane for those of us with severe, housebound levels of T & H, I would say it brings more suffering than people on the outside could possibly...
@MindOverMatter I recently hit a year mark since a sudden worsening. Since then my T and H have been insanely easy to worsen further and I am...
I've been able to enjoy summer a bit by getting outside to the backyard and woods. However, the T still quickly goes nuclear if I have any sound...
Hey good to hear from you! Sorry, I took a long break from this site. I feel I took the edge off the H a tiny bit by getting outside to the...
I absolutely hate that I'm back here. I think I feel best posting my dark thoughts here because people know what they're getting into when they...
I recently had noticed that my H was starting to improve, and I was feeling more habituated to the worsening T. Then two weeks ago I dropped a...
@DeanD it’s insane I can have a flawless week of limiting noises while maintaining some low level exposure. But one little slip up can ramp it all...
How does one get out of the vicious cycle of worsening T and H? As it gets worse it takes less to worsen again. Going on 7 months now
Love you to brother. Had an ok week last week but now feeling worse than ever again. Such a brutal trajectory, and it’s been trending to the...
Do you take medication or have anything that helps to get through the day? With my previous tinnitus and hyperacusis I struggled but was able to...
Does anyone know a way to obtain ForgTin in the US? Yes, I know the efficacy is highly questionable but I need to try everything with how bad my...
My tinnitus was in slow decline for 7 years but I lived life as best I could without interruption. I used hearing protection for loud events and...
Hyperacusis is actually slightly better. Tinnitus is at an all time worst though. I’m living as best I can with this confusing condition.
I don’t know what we did to deserve this. All I can hope for is that medicine understands this better in the future. What a torturous condition.
I'm so sorry to hear you've been going through this for so long. I can imagine it's painful, confusing, frustrating, and much more. Our...
Thank you again, I have really limited anything above low-moderate sound exposure as I realized that was making things worse initially. Of the...
Thank you Michael. I appreciate the reply. I have already been working with an audiologist and general practitioner for the past months. I have...
Hi @Michael Leigh, I truly appreciate everything you contribute to this community. I remember exchanging a few messages 6 months ago at big jump...
It’s been a hair over 6 months since the initial big jump up. I believed it would get better, it’s gotten 5-10x worse. Nightmare everyday
I’m 29 years old, and suicide did not compute with me before tinnitus. Even the first couple years of mild to moderate tinnitus I would have never...
Hey man how are things going?
Unfortunately I don’t have anything exceptionally exciting to report. I may feel a little more energy over the last month but I don’t think I can...
Let’s be honest, most people with tinnitus can get better with TRT or time alone. There’s a subset who get worse from sound therapy. This is...
Any thoughts on ssris? Any meds ok to take the edge off?
Wow a hard almond bite really was the largest jump in tinnitus I’ve had; brand new low tone like a foghorn in that ear. Started Serc
That’s Cloud Peak in the Bighorn Mountains. Amazing place. Where’s yours?
Unfortunately that’s kinda my feeling as well. I’m just feeling like I need to take drastic action somehow with how far gone it’s gotten
I’m beyond my limits with this and am intrigued by the Dr Shulman protocol of klonopin and gabapentin. Is that a mistake to even try?
Spike from last week continues to stack, I did not think it was possible for tinnitus to get this bad. Praying betahistine does something
I haven’t had any red flags for jaw issues specifically. I sometimes clench and grind my teeth in sleep, but I have not really had the classic...
Thank you. I will definitely look into that, and I’ll report back if I end up trying that. I appreciate the suggestion!
I was not wearing any hearing protection, probably would have been much worse with the occlusion effect. It’s crazy to me how much my tinnitus has...
My experience continues to be endlessly absurd and hopeless by design, so I will do what I can; I will write about it. This has basically become...
So sorry to hear that yours is also worsening. If you can sleep alright without them it’s worth a shot. I actually do have mirtazapine for sleep...
Worse again, hearing swirling electricity, screeching, cicadas, and a low rumbling all throughout my head
May no one else have to go through this vicious cycle of worsening tinnitus and hyperacusis. I’ve heard of it before. It does sound intriguing....
This message means a lot, and I know you’re struggling too. I’m impressed you’ve reviewed so many cases - that’s a scientific mind! The evidence...
I held onto hope and worked on CBT/habituation techniques through 5 months of increasing tinnitus. This week it’s increased too quickly. I don’t...
The fact that a suicidal thread is one of the most popular on this site is awful. We have accomplished so much with modern medicine yet a...
Been staying strong but today it's a bit too much. Tinnitus has ramped up a ton this week, baseline constantly worsening. My head is full.
I’m really sorry that happened to you last weekend. I know the feeling all too well of having a new increase in baseline. It’s terrifying not...
I’m having a tough go of it to be honest. I’ve been more on the side of sound isolation due to some initial noise exposures worsening all my...
I bought some Avalanche after that announcement. It was already a well made L1, and doesn’t hurt to have Amazon take you under their wing. My...
Did a Bob Ross paint-along with a couple friends last Friday. I think painting is more effective than all the CBT exercises I’ve tried to distract...
I’m on day 4 of gluten free inspired by your post among other anecdotal reports on here. It’s easy enough to try and certainly worth a shot. It...
I love the attitude, I think you’re going to kick its ass with that mentality. I have found it most difficult to not get upset with the inevitable...
My tinnitus has increased even more over the past couple of days, possibly from having a couple friends over with conversation. I was enjoying...
Sorry to hear about your experience. I have had a very similar experience with all these symptoms and worsening tinnitus from normal sounds for...
It really feels nearly impossible to go on some (maybe most) days, but I’m also a Christian and have family so I will keep fighting. This is so...
Hey thanks for your message. Unfortunately the tinnitus has continued worsening regardless of what I do. The only factor that clearly and...
Thanks. Now I try to stop it by holding my breath, and if I have to, I’ll sneeze into my elbow which seems to muffle it a lot. Not going to try to...
I’m sorry to hear that man. It’s so frustrating when things we enjoy spike it. I hope you had an otherwise enjoyable time with your family and...
My tinnitus has been the loudest it’s ever been the past few days, and there’s new shrill high pitched tones like shearing metal. To add another...
That looks really nice! I’m also homebound with hyperacusis and always looking for more hobbies. How did you start learning to paint? Did you...
I have taken mirtazapine a couple times when I couldn’t sleep at all, but it was getting worse before that and continues to get worse after. I...
They sound like quite the double edged sword for this community - help some people get a grip on things but throw others off a cliff. So...
