Separate names with a comma.
Also not pushing myself too hard helped with noxacusis. It was important not to push my limits too much.
I had to use earplugs when I left my home for a long time. I stopped doing that last summer/autumn..
I had noxacusis at first after acoustic trauma for months. Then my H has been more like loudness hyperacusis slowly when time has passed
@aab Probably time, and not overprotecting my ears. Slowly I stopped using earplugs choosing always plugs that have less and less decibel protection
But on the other hand my tinnitus has got worse (the loud humming/roaring part) in the long run. Hyperacusis is luckily better.
I have recovered from severe hyperacusis to the point I no longer use earplugs outside most of the time and tolerate sound again better.
A small kid screamed loudly like less than one meter away from me next to my ear at grocery store.
I never knew ultrasonic bird repellers exist but my gosh these are torture machines for a person who can hear sounds they make and has T
There was loud ultra ultrasonic/high frequency repeller at place I went today to keep birds away. It felt so uncomfortable in my ears.
My tinnitus feels like something is covering my ear and there is an echo chamber, seashell type of loud roaring that is driving me nuts.
My tinnitus spike caused by syringing and microsuction did not calm down in the end. I cant habituate to this awful roaring tinnitus sound
@HearingHell I am sorry to hear that. I have had audiogram that has been considered as normal hearing (going to get my hearing checked out after...
@Tryn2BHopeful I havent done audiogram for 1,5 years. Going there soon. I have had 25 db-10 db losses in some frequencies in the past.
I @cyberspace Sorry to hear that :( I am so angry I have struggled for months after that stupid procedure. I believe it caused some hearing loss
Why does my own voice sound so quiet... Why do I have roaring seashell sound in my ear with a weird echo effect. Why does music sound bad..
I regret ear syringing and microsuction so much. ENT did syringing three times and then microsuction.
Today I almost got a panic attack when I thought this roaring tinnitus does not stop and this would be new normal.
Seashell tinnitus and loud roaring in my ear. I hear the weird seashell distortion even when I try to mask it. My hearing feels weird
I dont care anymore about this life. Everything sucks with tinnitus. I am sick of trying to be positive and still struggle every day
Almost 2,5 years of this tinnitus hell. Tinnitus has not got easier. Life sucks every day. I always make mistakes and make my T even worse
I felt like I managed with my tinnitus better but after microsuction I feel like I don't deal with t anymore.
In the future I am definitely not making the same mistake ever again. Thanks @MindOverMatter for tips and @TheCapybara for your kind words!
Yep. Pulsating tinnitus left (thankfully) after earwax removal but ironic is that overall my tinnitus is worse than before removal. It would be...
I had no idea I had earwax when I went to the ENT. Usually I don't have a significant amount of earwax (I have been to hearing tests multiple...
I asked from ENT not to use microsuction because it is so loud but ENT thought there is no other solutions to remove impacted earwax :(
I have horrible tinnitus spike after ENT first trying to syringe then microsuction the impacted earwax away.
Yesterday I went to see an ENT because of sudden pulsating tinnitus in my right ear which usually is my better ear. I had impacted earwax in both...
I hope my sudden pulsating tinnitus leaves after ENT removed impacted earwax that could be the cause. :(
I still deal with fight/flight response because of my T. I feel myself so much dumber after I got tinnitus and I struggle a lot with...
@GG_Ear I am sorry that you are going through all of that. The things how you describe your hyperacusis sound really familiar. How things seem...
@GG_Ear How is your situation with hyperacusis?
At first I stayed at home, used ear protection at home a lot, was sensitive to sound of electric appliances such as TV, fan sound bothered me. I...
@GG_Ear Yes I am really glad about my hyperacusis improving. The cause of my symptoms were combination of med taper and acoustic trauma. Yes I...
But my condition is better compared to the time like year ago or two years ago. I have got spikes when there has been loud sudden sounds, I have...
At the same time when my hyperacusis has improved my hearing feels a bit worse overall. I still have reactive tinnitus that is maybe a bit better,...
@GG_Ear hi, my hyperacusis has got a lot of better in a year. I handle noise better and my ability to tolerate sound levels has improved.
I still can't consentrate because of tinnitus. I have thought about starting to study again but I do not know am I able to do it.
@TindalosKeeper And I feel like my hearing has started to feel worse at the same time when my hyperacusis has improved. Like I have gone from...
At the same time when my hyperacusis has improved my hearing feels worse, the quality and things sound quieter and less clear. I still have...
Slowly my tolerance of sound improved within one to two years but at the same time I feel like I have started to feel more hearing issues with...
@TindalosKeeper Sometimes I experienced setbacks when I started to experience burning pain in my ears even after improvement.
@TindalosKeeper I experienced acoustic trauma and was tapering benzos at the same time. I started to experience sensitivity to sound during benzo...
I feel like my hyperacusis has improved but at the same time my hearing feels worse
I forgot to celebrate my second tinnitus anniversary.
@Strawberryblonde It could be.
I feel like I have hearing loss even though my audiogram doesn't show it.
Ffs. A hyperacusis nightmare bike ride: two loud leaf blowers and loud angle grinder near me.
Everything sounds quieter and more muffled. And this has lasted for weeks. I hope this just returns to normal. :(
During my latest spike I have had a feeling like I don't hear my own voice normally and I have lost hearing and I have ear fullness.
I have difficulties using foam earplugs. They just don't fit or maybe they aren't right size. I have tried a couple of them. I am constantly...
"oh i am sorry you have tinnitus, one person I know started drinking so much alcohol to cope with tinnitus and lost his health because ofit"
I know benzos and benzo tapering played a large part why I got tinnitus even though I got my tinnitus because of loud noise.
@Jupiterman In some ways I have felt happier after doing stuff more again, I have avoided going to some places for 2 years after getting T. But I...
@Wrfortiscue Yep. I would like to live my life as normally as possible and have fun but I know I always need to pay the price if I go to loud places
For me going to loud places means more messed up hearing despite of earplugs: muffled hearing, everything sounds quieter like my hearing is worse...
My psychologist specialized in hearing issues just adviced to stop avoidance behaviour and there is no reason to avoid loud places if I use...
I used to enjoy ASMR a lot before I ruined my hearing with loud noise. I don't enjoy it anymore.
I have tried to live my life and go to loud places too with ear protection and it has been a bad idea. My hearing issues just gets worse
Yep. The distortions just make my hearing feel so messed up and I am afraid the distortions get even worse :(
I want tinnitus that is easy to mask, stays the same, that can be forgotten. Not this constantly changing T, sound distortion, reactive T BS
