Is This Related to Hyperacusis?

I wake up in the morning to various degrees of sound, bilateral, which recently started going away in one to three hours after getting up, as it did today, and I actually feel like I have no tinnitus symptoms at all during this time at home, in quiet.

This is quite an improvement, compared to a month ago. If I go outside outside for an hour or so, and am exposed to normal traffic and street sounds, by the time I get home the tinnitus symptoms return, for most or all of the evening.

I did make the mistake of overprotecting my ears for a couple of weeks, which I stopped a couple of days ago. I also forgot to keep a sound machine on, at home, so it was ultra quiet this morning until I went outside.

Hopefully, by exposing myself to normal sounds, in time, this will resolve or at least improve. I really don't know if this is H, T, T &H, or something else.

Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you.

 

How are you doing with these issues now?
