    Do I Have Vestibular Hyperacusis? What Can I Do?

    Indeed, I haven't found anyone else with these symptoms, and it's quite unfortunate because it's very disabling. What you describe is very similar to my experience—that feeling of drunkenness and weakness in the legs. It all started with the acoustic trauma and hasn’t improved since. Typically...

    Hi Stephan, thanks a lot for your kind words. It's quite encouraging that you were able to heal your hyperacusis. By the way, did you have loudness hyperacusis or pain hyperacusis?

    My Pain Hyperacusis and PTSD Testimony — Asking for Some Words of Encouragement to Carry On

    Thank you for your message. I'm thinking about starting Clomipramine, but my PTSD is so severe that I might need to take Venlafaxine, which is specifically indicated for that. My PTSD is mostly based on the false testimonies at work regarding the accident, and it makes me suicidal. I'm not...
