My Hearing Has Slightly Improved Since 2019

[Strife_84]

I developed my tinnitus and hyperacusis in 2019. I had a hearing test back then, and my results were good.

Two months ago, I damaged my hearing again after going to a nightclub, even though I was wearing earplugs. But today, on July 3rd, I had another hearing test — and I was amazed. My hearing has basically stayed the same as it was six years ago, and there has even been a slight improvement in the 8 kHz range. That is incredible.

Sure, it took six years, but that is still great news. I remember the nightmare of the first year, back in 2019, when I could not even hear grasshoppers during the summer.

So this is just some good news to share. I beat my tinnitus and hyperacusis once before, and even though they came back two months ago, now I need to beat them again.

I am very interested in the details of your story and healing process. Did you habituate, or did the noise actually decrease? Could you elaborate further?

Could you please specify the following:

1. How severe were your symptoms initially?

2. How long did it take before you noticed the first improvements?

3. What kind of healing have you experienced, and how long did it take?

Thank you.
