Hey man. I'm around your age too and have what would probably be described as towards the worst end of moderate tinnitus and also mild hyperacusis...
All I can say is take good care of your ears and it will probably continue improving
Certain instruments in music did it but it was mainly just high pitched sounds in general. It still happens a little bit for a minute sometimes...
For me it was primarily things like sirens in the distance or the sound the microwave made after it was done running so high pitched stuff in...
Agreed. It is really alarming to see this out in the real world, for example when I am driving through my neighborhood I don't think I have seen...
Some people believe it to be a component of hyperacusis but it is typically referred to as reactive tinnitus.
I may have to check that out, thanks for the tip!
Well it's been a year since I visited that bar so I figured I give an update on how I am doing these days. The hyperacusis seems to be lingering...

So an update for those following my story on here: These days my hyperacusis is pretty mild which is a blessing and I am hoping it stays that way...
Both can cause ear fullness.
yeah, it could be some hyperacusis which is quite common with tinnitus

I believe it's the acoustic reflex which is the natural defense mechanism of the ear to protect itself from loud sounds. I couldn't tell you...
Does anyone else ever get ear thumping with weather changes?
Yeah it should be totally safe to make music at low volume with this condition as long as you aren't using headphones. It may help to limit the...
@valerinaanna, awesome, hopefully those will help. As far as singing in a band goes, I would recommend trying to avoid playing in enclosed...

It might not be the cause but neck issues could very much be exasperating things. Although it will likely not cure it, it might reduce some of...
Did you by any chance reduce your ear symptoms by treating your TMJ as well?
Oh man, maybe that contributed, I had TMJ before mine struck too. I didn't know what it was at the time but I was grinding my teeth and having jaw...
You should definitely try getting that treated then, it may not be the cause of the problem but it has a high likely hood of at least reducing...
Both. He has done all of these things at least once: C1 adjustments jaw adjustment (this was pretty painful but it helped me) cervical...
Update for those of you that are still following my story: I have been getting treated by my chiropractor for my TMJ issues as well and upper...

Your story sounds a little similar to mine at least with the whole getting it from a noisy bar roughly a month after the 2nd dose of the COVID-19...
The hyperacusis.
Sorry to hear about your symptoms, all of us on this forum can agree it's not a fun time. The fluttering seems like it's probably the tensor...
Question about this since I am pretty new to the world of hyperacusis. Could there possibly be a brain calibration component on top of healing the...
Update: I went to see an audiologist today and got a full audiogram and apparently my hearing is better than average and the audiologist told me...

My dog (pointer lab) barked by me once while I had earmuffs on rated at 25 dB will this set back my mild-moderate hyperacusis?
The 4th of July used to be my favorite holiday now it's just kind of depressing, I never realized how loud it was.
I have that same thing happen to me too whether it's something like that or music. It's kind of weird but it's not really any more annoying than...
This would be a good idea to minimize damage from setbacks for someone with hyperacusis so it might be worth trying if it isn't too much trouble...

I actually walk the streets with protection if they are busy but I am fine if they are not. The 80 dB thing is partially because I am at least 20...

Well that makes me a little more hopeful especially with the hyperacusis part. I feel I don't have the obnoxiously loud intrusive tone that was...
