      Well I was doing well on Friday. I slept better the night before, the T was almost reduced to zero. Seemed like a miracle had happened.

      But no, those never last.

      That Friday night, an incident happened in the kitchen that made everything much worse. I was standing in the kitchen, as my cat knocked the toaster off the counter, resulting in a loud crash, and provoking my mum's dog to shriek out in a series of loud barks (as friggin' Jack Russells tend to do - I never wanted this dog!)

      Since then, my T has returned and is much louder than before.

      As luck would have it. No idea how long this "spike" will last.

      Just wanted to offer an update.

      Okay, so the T is pretty much gone, and the H is nowhere near as severe as before. I can probably kiss that goodbye by the end of August hopefully.

      But now I have a new symptom: ear fullness.

      This wasn't a thing at all over the last seven weeks since the incident occurred. It depends on the way I turn my head too. Any idea what it probably means?

      It means that your ear has been hurt.

      I have had ear fullness for 10 days before I got T. Ear fullness lasted another 6 months or so. In any case, just be careful, let your body heal, and you ought to be ok. But do be careful.

      Nice.

      No mention of when that hyperacusis commonly disappears though.
