Does Tinnitus Improve When You Gain Control Over Hyperacusis?

Hello everyone,

As the title asks: Does tinnitus improve when you gain control over hyperacusis?

This could then be understood as one's perception of tinnitus that may reduce in volume, for example.

In my literature: Tinnitus 100 questions and 100 answers (Thora, C., 2006, p.50); Hyperacusis is defined as a medical term for hypersensitiveness to noise. This hypersensitiveness is then further characterized as when even common everyday noises are uncomfortably loud or even painful to a tinnitus sufferer.

In certain sense then, hyperacusis can be viewed similarly to the term phonophobia.

Please, feel free to share your opinion on the matter after you have had voted in the poll.

Thank you.
