If it means anything, I had pain hyperacusis (noxacusis) 15 years ago. It took around 18 months to go away back then. I continued to work in loud...
Hi guys, A little background: I've had pain hyperacusis twice in my life - one being now. However, I've never really considered the "sound" of...
Man, it just sucks that tinnitus can go from a 2 to an 8 that easily! Scary stuff. Have all your spikes in the last 40 years jumped like that, or...
Hey guys. It sounds like fleeting and extended fleeting attacks. I’ve had these before; they’re like the regular ones but in a lower frequency...
At what age did your hearing start to significantly roll off? And have you seen it continue to progress by itself? I think that maybe noise...
I fly long haul often - I don't have reactive tinnitus very often but I do have hyperacusis and I don't think either is affected much. Most of...
Hard to tell but mine started when I was on tour and wore noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs inbetween every show - so it was either the...
Hey, it's very unlikely the earplugs could do that. You'd have been wayyyyy worse off with loud power tools around you. Why are you making that...
Out of interest, what makes it sound like ETD?
My understanding is that regular tinnitus can exist at all frequencies. I’ve definitely seen people with it in that range. However, it generally...
I don’t know much about that. I’ll only pay attention to upcoming treatments if in desperate need of hope, otherwise it’s important to just move...
Yeah, basically it can be immediately inhibited by certain level of low sound, it requires different amount depending on how strong it is that...
Hey, check the Low Frequency Tinnitus thread! Lots of information there and people with similar symptoms.
That’s great news, Ben! I have the same thing with head tilting down. So strange. And then it gets louder as I tilt up and worse as it goes back....
What age are you? It’s common to lose those frequencies above 8 kHz with age. It’s not necessarily the cause unless you’re young.
Sorry to hear! At least you’ve had some good time in-between the spikes. Are you saying that the spike is just you paying more attention to the...
Yeah, I'd always say there's a glimmer of hope, especially if it happened with a sudden acoustic trauma. I know a few people who had overtones,...
Interesting that a few people have said this exact range for beeping and distortions. If anyone else does or doesn't have their distortions in...
Update: It has been several months with no evening fan/inhibition and still my low hum is around 1/10 most of the time. It can flare up to 2/10...
I’ve found I can pinpoint the area by running a tone generator on my phone at the absolute lowest volume in a completely silent room. As I reach...
Is it low frequency?
I recently spoke to someone who had the sound distortions only when they speak. Many people have it from women’s or loud voices and whatnot, and...
Yes, I have that exact sample whistle reacting mostly to those things you mentioned. I can count at least 6 friends who do as well. It's almost...
These may be setbacks while your hyperacussis is still recovering. As you've probably read on here, it can go two ways. It's usually related to...
Oh man, that does sound annoying. It may be the occlusion effect enhancing your voice and thus the whistle. Not sure how new you are to this, but...
Do you have any significant hearing loss yet?
I think in some ways you're extremely lucky it is just at that final moment of the day, which should be very easy to get used to if it is not...
Sorry to hear. Yeah, I've had similar with my slight highs, seems there's a bunch of things that are controllable but regular high-frequency...
Back here with some positive news. After 2 years my hum is still taking large breaks and maybe yours will too. I was certain it was here to stay....
That's great. How long did it last? How long has it been back to normal? Don't take the fact it's gone for grated, at least for a while - simply...
Sounds a bit more dysacusis/diplacusis. Definitely take a break. Is there any reason why this would have happened suddenly? Loud noise exposure?...
Brain cancer is extremely unlikely to be the cause, you are definitely catastrophizing so best to stay calm and speak to professionals. You have...
Sorry, I was referring to many mild case newcomers. After all this is what the thread was kind of about. I completely understand your situation...
One thing I’ve seen a few times on Tinnitus Talk is that newcomers should know is that once people got their anxiety under control, they felt a...
Hey, I’m just starting with this exact wine glass sound now. So you had it mild for roughly 30 years? Or am I reading that wrong? I’ll do...
For entertainment purposes, I asked ChatGPT about potential theories as to the cause of our low hum. I found it pretty interesting considering it...
This isn’t typically considered true. This is Juan’s opinion and experience. You may have noticed I’ve asked for age, timeframe and whether this...
OK. Interesting. I have a few questions if you don't mind. How about the time frame? You mentioned you have lost hearing fast in the last few...
How bad is your audiogram and how quickly did it start to change?
Interesting. I have a similar variation between ears; the louder ear is sharp and the other ear has a hum and dull pain. When you say vibration,...
I’ve experienced things like that before but no after effect. From my limited knowledge, anything that can crack would result in pain; middle ear...
@TheCapybara @Strawberryblonde do you feel the distortions/reactivity come from hearing loss or are you guys fine in that category?
Did you beeps/bleeps calm down too?
Hey, not sure if you're around, but do you know what type of Magnesium that brand has in it? Magnesium has seemed to work for me too, but there...
I notice when I wear half of a foam earplug, I can often get my distortion squeak happening from my own voice’s volume, thanks to the occlusion....
Earasers. Invisible, about 10 dB reduction. Low occlusion effect for me.
The starter pack is probably a good option as it includes two sizes. They’ll take some playing around with to find the best way to work for you.
I can’t remember how good my custom earplugs were with occlusion, but being a 26 dB reduction, I think there was a pretty mid level of occlusion...
Yep, my ear canals are slightly different size too. I almost need one earplug to be in between the small and medium! Good note for anyone...
Some of you may already be aware but I’ve found the best earplugs for sound sensitivity: Earasers. I’ve been trying different combos for a while...
Yeh! Okay, that is interesting. I had that for a very brief period too. I wondered if it has to do with a sudden change, possible hearing loss or...
It sounds like it’s a hyperacusis spike. I get them and they go away. Including fullness. But if you’ve had actual sudden hearing loss, then go...
Yeah, that is my plan. I’m playing it by ear. If it gets majorly worse, I’m happy to stop there. I’ve just had a recent breakthrough that demands...
Hey Brian, I totally understand your warning and I also agree no career is worth dealing with what you have. I've been saying the same because I...
Hello all, looking for some insight here. Many of you have probably read that hyperacusis and noxacusis are thought to be caused by two reasons....
Heads up. I got reactive tinnitus a few months back and it seems to be gone now. One of the odd things I was doing around that time was wearing...
Hey, how much did your tinnitus worsen from the first day you got tinnitus, til before the COVID-19 increase? Was it a minor increase over the 20...
It's interesting that this happens for a few of us. I originally thought the head tilt was some kind of internal rumble 'stopping' it like when...
I also want to add that your perception of the situation can completely change how you feel about it. This sounds obvious but when you’re in a...
Everyone’s hyperacusis is different. Including the amount of long-term damage each person has. I can only tell you my experience. I had...
