      Can you get severe hyperacusis and tinnitus without hearing loss?

      I’ve had an audiogram yesterday which turned out to be even better than the one I did a few months ago when my hyperacusis was less severe.

      My hearing is near perfect. Could it be because my hyperacusis is worse now?

      Audiograms mean shit. You saw my audiograms and they look fine. Its the inner hair cells and nerves that we damaged.

      YES.

      Most audiograms for hyperacusic patients are just perfect.

      He needs to do DPOAEs and Speech in noise test.
      My audiologist said that in 3-4 years they will have a device to measure inner hair cells :D

      Discrimination of speech in noisy situations in one of the first signs of hearing issues, and the path to hearing loss. Also not hearing TV well.
