      Cause of Tinnitus:
      unknown, started the moment I woke up from a nightmare.
      So are people who get tinnitus more likely to develop hyperacusis as well?

      I would like to hear personal experiences.

      Also, is it possible to prevent hyperacusis?

      Overloaded stress
      I only have tinnitus, not hyperacusis, but I think I will not develop hyperacusis, due to my tinnitus being from stress.

      Most posters with hyperacusis have it from noise induced tinnitus and/or I believe headphone use on steroids.
