I might have had anxiety-related low level TTTS before my acustic trauma too. It sounds like working on the psychosomatic aspect of it really...
I think I tick all the boxes for TTTS. Am I onto something..?
Having a really bad H day. Taking a break from this forum to spend some (quiet) time with my parents.
How has your T been?
My T has definitely increased in volume over time but so has my ability to accept it and filter it out. I rarely hear it during the day (unless...
@Merlin L thanks for your kind words. I have had some good days over the last 6 months but really struggling with this last setback. The fire...
I can't see myself going back to live music or headphones ever again tbh, but being able to live a normal life without giving my ears a second...
So refreshing to hear this, thanks! I've had some very mild noise sensitivity (no T) for years to be honest - I've been wearing protection at gigs...
I went to a really loud club (well, two clubs within 3 days). I was wearing custom-made earplugs but they didn't protect me enough. I had very...
Thanks - I was in the process of starting a new job and buying a flat at onset of my symptoms. I'm new at work so I can't get time off sick, and I...
I try to live my life normally using protection (double if needed) outside of the house. I have stopped listening to music or watching TV after my...
Luckily both dysacusis and reactive (competing) T have gone. I still have loudness H, discomfort in ears, a bit of fullness and louder T. I have...
It's hard to explain.. I think my tolerance has gone down after each setback and it takes a bit longer to heal, to be honest. I have loudness H...
I have no plans for the summer and I'm just going to avoid loud situations altogether, although I haven't been to a gig/club or used headphones...
Hi @Merlin L, My setback was caused by me being overconfident (and stupid) at a loud BBQ. By the time I realised they turned the music up, my ears...
How long did it take for your H to calm down after your first episode? Did you conduct a normal life for those 8 years?
Hi @Hardwell, thanks for this. I know, it was a stupid mistake. I had noticed socialising at normal sound levels was improving my H&T so much...
The only way is up, right?
My boyfriend and friends are all going to Glastonbury tonight while I'm home, alone, in silence and in pain. A new low.
Loud fire alarm going off in my apartment for a long time last night. I put foam plugs on but it wasn't enough. Screaming T and pain today.
I swear, if I can get back to how I felt before my setback 12 days ago, I'll never complain again.
I know I should avoid all digital sound but I need to work, and need something to mask my crazy T at night. Running out of options
One week post-setback. Tried to expose myself to normal (quiet) sound the last couple days with mixed results. Was doing great yesterday and then...
Hi FredNerk! How are you doing now, after your T worsening? I feel like we're going through similar situations. Thanks!
Did digital sound hurt your years? What did you use to mask the tinnitus? This setback is mostly horrible because T is very loud but all digital...
I think I slowly developed mild hyperacusis (no T) over a number of years of live music exposure. Loud clubs and gigs hurt my years even with...
The aural fullness was the first thing to go in my previous setbacks.. it now comes everytime I expose to digital sound. Exhausting.
My setback from a few days ago was noise induced. The anxiety is definitely not helping. I'm limiting digital noise but exposing myself to natural...
My previous setback happened over a few days of me noticing less and less tolerance despite only exposing to noise I would normally tolerate. I...
Ahahah thanks for sharing your experience! I know what you mean, I've had a 2-3 setbacks and am emotionally drained. It's such a disheartening...
Hi SevDawg! Your posts have been a great source of comfort to me. I also have H&T, for 6 months. I have found weaning off earplugs very helpful,...
Hi CJCP! Your posts have been a great source of comfort to me. I also have H&T - getting close to the 6-month mark. I have found weaning off...
On the positive side, before overexposing again this weekend, I had a couple of great weeks. Feeling almost normal again. It'll get better!
Constantly balancing over- and under-protecting is exhausting. Was doing so much better staying off earplugs only to have another setback.
My H just flared up really badly over the weekend. I had been virtually H-free for 2 months. Will need to be more mindful of my ears.
Hello, I thought I'd post an update on here to keep track of my journey. Over the past 3 months I've had lots of ups and downs, good days and bad...
Hi @Foamearplugssuck - thanks for your reply. How long have you had your symptoms for? Were they noise induced? I will definitely stop attending...
Hi all, having a really horrible night so I thought I'd write on here, after many days spent as an observer. I've had some sound sensitivity...
