Separate names with a comma.
Just in public. At home I wear earmuffs (just casual earmuffs, not Peltors) because the cooling of my PC is pretty annoying.
An uneasy cease-fire. I almost never experience pain, and rarely experience loudness symptoms. I can tolerate (though it still bothers me) more or...
He puts his name as "Neil Bauman, Ph.D". He has a Master's degree in Theology and two PhDs, one in Forestry and the other in Ancient Astronomy. A...
I'm sorry you're having such a tough time. This is likely contributing to your problem.
Happy 1st anniversary, adversary
I'd rather have cancer.
Was it Dan Malcore and his lackeys @ the Hyperacusis Network? Take it with a grain of salt.
Yesterday I accidentally set off the car alarm. I had industrial earplugs in. I suspect your thread may have literally saved my life.
Accidentally set off the car alarm today - and I'm fine!!
Jastreboff was right about benzos.
That experience applies the vast majority of hyperacusics, we call it a 'setback'. You went too fast. You should push your limits ever so slowly...
I wish I had acquired wisdom at less of a price.
Is it in my head?
@Zugzug Have you heard what danielthor just said about stem cells? Your issues were caused by autoimmune disease, yes?
Majority of the bad tinnitus sufferers have reactive tinnitus / hyperacusis.
They won't be dragon me back any time soon.
Allowed myself to be dragged to the theatre and now I'm in the beginning of a spike. Fucking hell I wish I wasn't so spineless.
The first time, yes. This time, not yet.
Tinnitus is trending downwards. Noise tolerance is still tissue paper.
The surgery is reversible, I believe. Of course, I still see the logic in not wanting 3 different operations to get it done, undone and redone.
Too right. If you can't do the Wrfortiscue "lol", your odds do not look good.
Sorry.
I have exactly the same!

I'm so sick of pissing and moaning.
There's an uncanny electric piano noodling around in my left ear.
Mine doesn't even hurt badly, it's like a Jalapeno, but knowing how bad this can get it's just so goddamn terrifying.
How is he so well-spoken???

Any progress at all?
I'd wager you were able to stop protecting so much because your tolerance improved, not the other way around. That said, it's of course great news...
Overprotection is a myth crafted by TRT proponents in order to frame severe patients as "not trying hard enough".
Ears are burning. This can't be good...
Just my computer whirring, my mouse clicking.
I choose to believe I imagined it.
Did I just spike from taking my earplugs out for 15 minutes? Surely not. I hope I'm just freaking out.
How do I convince an ENT to do this for me?
Coding.
So my problems are probably middle-ear related. I have an appointment with Myriam Westcott on the 15th of July and she's an expert on...
Seriously, I'm just no-lifing this game like crazy without the sound on while I (hopefully) recover. It's so ideal.
Seroquel = KO.
Sound enrichment.
Heyyy, same.
Could be time to beg for Prednisone if it hasn't gone back down.
It's gotten kinda musical. I kinda like it. I guess it's just really, truly driving me insane.
Brian Newman swears by it and he has one of the worst cases of noxacusis in the country.
I think it's good they want to be completely sure what they come up with is probably effective, considering how tinnitus is such a magnet for scam...
@Shelbylynn Thanks a lot for your concern. I've been referred for an ECG soon
I still shower, how can I be overprotecting?
Hell yes it can. One of many examples:...
Two months is NOTHING when it comes to recovering from hyperacusis.
Foam earplugs? You're supposed to twizzle them up, slip them in and let them expand. Take them out slowly, letting the air escape from behind. Do...
I got some. Feeling much better.
Zero sleep. Everything hurts. Not even getting out of bed today. I wish I had some good news.
Having hallucinations. God help me.
Yeah, I don't even care about rebuilding my sound tolerance anymore. My only goal is to not go catastrophic.
I can't even imagine being responsible for a family with this mess. Maybe I'm lucky I got it so young.
Hi-Fi is much safer than headphones, Michael Leigh had pretty severe tinnitus and he could eventually use his (fairly quietly, of course) without...
No, thank god. Not yet, anyhow.
@Shelbylynn I've had panic attacks before, this ain't it. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow.
