Recently I was exposed to what I would consider a moderate amount of noise for a reasonable amount of time. A few minutes following the exposure my right ear felt like threshold shift had set in and my ear felt full. Normally the feeling would go away over a bit of time or would be gone the next morning and my Tinnitus would be back to baseline. In this case my Tinnitus has remained at this higher level and I am experiencing transient pain and pressure in both ears. I am also feeling a burning sensation in my Eustachian Tubes from time to time. This pain generally builds throughout the day and it seems my ears are at their best when I first wake up in the morning.
Am I experiencing Hyperacusis? If so, does it have a tendency to come and go or ramp up and down? Finally, are Hyperacusis "spikes" accompanied with loud(er) Tinnitus?
If I recall properly, this has happened to me before and I've always chalked it up to some kind of low level sinus infection (I'm currently not sick) and it has always resolved on its own over time.
Anyhow, thanks in advance for your answers!
