Acoustic Trauma from Car Speakers Resulting in Hyperacusis, Tinnitus and Ear Fullness

Very mild hyperacusis can improve over a few months. True hyperacusis can potentially improve between 1-3 years, seems to be closer to 2-3.

I would wait to start TRT. You can have natural improvement in 6 months. TRT CAN and has made people worse.

 

Honestly man, if I were you, I’d go to a neurologist, explain that Benzos help your pain and ask them what drugs you can take long term that could help you based on that fact.

 

I acquired tinnitus in exactly the same way.

Hope you feel better.

 

@acute
How are you feeling today? I have seen some of your posts and I feel your pain as someone who has unmaskable severe tinnitus and hyperacusis that is now moderate and slowly improving from a severe level.

Thanks man, very small improvements since the onset but I'll take it!

Not so good bro, my ears, chin and face feels hot sometimes, it's nerve pain I guess, pretty mild though but scary... do you get this also?

 

I hear you, I had one of the worst setbacks 2 weeks ago. Very loud drill sound resonating like hell at a building site, forgot the plugs and couldn't escape because I was helping a colleague...

Now my tolerance is really reduced, will take years to improve...

 

Sorry to hear that... hopefully fx 322 can sort this all out

 

I'm sorry to hear that. I very rarely get ear or other pain from hyperacusis. My hyperacusis was basically everything sounded way to loud. My hyperacusis has improved about 80% over the last 18 month's or so since it struck me. There is hope, don't give up.

Love and respect Stu.
