I hope so @MindOverMatter as my tinnitus was already at severe levels. The thought of basically having to relive the last two years of pain...
After 3+ years of managing to avoid it, finally tested positive for COVID-19 23rd December after feeling unwell from the day before. Let down by a...
Thanks, that is reassuring. I'm wondering if mine is linked into everything else I have & won't fade until that does. It's not the worst issue I...
Hey @ZFire, thanks for replying. Those types of noises are definitely a trigger for the echoing for me too. First time it happened (February...
Hey @DeanD, how is it going with the palinacousis? I've had this for a while alongside my reactive tinnitus & hyperacusis, but didn't know it had...
@ECP Thank you, I appreciate it.
@ECP Due to a rare gastric issue, my GP advised me against taking NAC due to possible gastric side effects. Condition unfortunately impinges a lot...
@ECP Thank you. I hope so, but it was really bad. The worst pain I've felt with since it started.
Took 3 months to even look like calming a little from one thunderclap. After the drilling incident, probably looking at 6 months+ for this
Immediately stuck my fingers in my ears, no time to even reach for ear defenders. It was so bad I was curled in a ball on the floor crying. Mum...
Yep. Took off ear defenders downstairs to have a short whispered conversation with mum when this horrendous drill sound started from next door....
Had hopes that the setback from a few months ago may be calming a little. Had a few days of 8 out of 10 rather than 9 or 10. Until Friday.
OK, so I monitored my instances of itchy ears with volume of tinnitus & accidental noise exposure, & my admittedly not-very-scientific result is...
Yes, I have eye symptoms but they started before the ears became really bad. I've had tinnitus for over 15 years, developed eye symptoms over the...
Love orange tabby Garfields! Nice to meet another original Charmed fan. Cole was kinda hot though. I find each season brings its own challenges....
Ooh what type of cat do you have? I have a black male cat named Cole (I named him after a character from the original Charmed tv series) & a...
@Merlin L, you have a similar story to mine, including the feeling as if you were making a slight bit of progress before a setback (mine was a...
@KoolKat 10 days of absolute hell with a fire alarm type siren in the right ear 24/7. Luckily it morphed into musical tinnitus, so I have hissing...
@KoolKat Yeah my tinnitus started 2005 but for 17 years it was moderate & stable. I could hear it but it wasn't overly intrusive & night-times...
@KoolKat I'm from the UK. Halloween is not as big here (although it is getting more attention now). I did visit NY in the run-up to Christmas once...
Interesting! I currently have severe hyperacusis/noxacusis with reactive tinnitus with no discernible hearing loss. I hadn't really thought...
@KoolKat I was just thinking the other day about when I could actually go on a date or even out with friends. Now I feel like the Little Match...
@KoolKat When my tinnitus was stable I could watch them no problem, even with the noise, but with this hyperacusis & reactive t - no chance. Why...
@KoolKat God yes, Halloween & Christmas film marathons in Oct & Dec are a big thing for me & I REALLY miss them as it's a great run-up to the...
Favourite lyrics for me would have to be from Depeche Mode songs. They weren't as popular by the time I was old enough to appreciate them but...
I have severe hyperacusis (possibly noxacusis due to the pain aspect) in one ear & very reactive tinnitus in both. I've had it for almost 17...
This covers my questions about the study/paper. Overall it is positive but there's a lot of missing information that would be useful to know,...
Love this!
I used to watch just a couple of episodes at night to wind down & I haven't watched anything for 15 months now. The simple things are what I miss...
@KoolKat That would be great. I'd like to be able to go outside without my ear defenders on & just listen to the birdsong without it aggravating...
Hi @KoolKat Thanks for your kind words. Thankfully the whole 15 years have not been as bad as the past 15 months have been. I'm sort of walking...
That makes sense @Damocles & thanks for the link of helpful advice. Things are bad enough without the ruddy weather sticking its oar in too!
Hi all, After 15 years of moderate tinnitus, I developed severe hyperacusis alongside extremely loud tinnitus & musical hallucinations (complex...
Oh no, @ChristyG2023. You have my sympathies as I dread having to have any dental work done. I've gotten away with just check-ups for the last 2...
Thankfully my bunnies allowed me to buy as many books as I wanted - as long as I got them apple snacks & the occasional carrot treat.
I really couldn't say @TLion. If you are currently taking an antidepressant, I wouldn't change anything without speaking to your doctor. It's a...
Hi @Sugarpuddle. I understand that your experience was different from mine in the fact that you didn't have tinnitus before, I just wanted to be...

Just a quick bit of background - I've had tinnitus for over 15 years but it was moderate with no hearing loss. In February 2022, I had a sudden...
@momus, I've also found that attempting even gentle exercise sends my tinnitus soaring for the rest of the day/night. With how bad it is 'at rest'...
Mine cycles, but it cycles throughout the day rather than over days. I've had tinnitus for over 15 years but had learned to live with it & could...
Hi @DebInAustralia. Thanks for asking. I ended up needing a second course of Cefalexin shortly after the first as the infection came back within...
Cole Turner from Charmed aka Julian McMahon, anyone? [ATTACH]
@Moni97, I was definitely Team Bangel! If no-one else has mentioned them, Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, & Oded Fehr are 3 of the reasons why The...
My other celeb crush is Alex O'Loughlin. I've watched Hawaii Five-0 way too many times! [ATTACH]
@Moni97, @tpj, nice to meet a couple more Jensen Ackles fans. He looks hella fine as Soldier Boy too. [ATTACH]
@in_LA Hi, just saw your message. Ask away!
Hi Johan82, Thanks for replying. I'm still struggling. I think it would help to know why this is happening, but neither me nor my ENT have a...
Hi everyone! I've had tinnitus for over 15 years & had pretty much habituated. Around seven months ago it suddenly worsened to what I can only...
Not sure about hearing loss. I haven't been tested since this all started in February this year as I have hyperacusis too which would make it...
Hi Deb, thanks for replying. I'm normally quite good with being able to take meds without it affecting my tinnitus, only antidepressants & now...
Thanks for your reply Mister Muso. Good to know that hyperacusis can improve quite drastically in a year. I have had hyperacusis for about 6...
Hope you don't mind me replying? I have musical hallucinations 24/7 where music is playing constantly in my ear - full songs, film scores,...
Hi All This is only my second post. I've been trying to come to terms with now having hyperacusis & musical hallucinations 24/7 to add to...
Hi everyone. Wasn't sure which thread would be best to put this on so starting here. I've been reading posts for a couple of weeks & finally...
