Hi Albert, I have might similar exploding head syndrom in my ear/head. How can I contact you here? Best

Are you any better

Multiple fire alarm tests at work today. Open T/Talk every time.

I was at the checkout in a DIY store, waiting for the customer in front of me to be served. A young lady—she was cheerful and upbeat, and that clearly rubbed off on the employee behind the counter. I don't get out much anymore because of my hyperacusis and tinnitus. It was confronting: people are happy and carefree. I don't know that feeling anymore; I can't enjoy anything. Not even silence, because it never exists. I think tinnitus and hyperacusis are among the most horrific conditions out there. It's enough to make anyone depressed.

I've been having these sudden spikes in my tinnitus lately. Obviously really annoying but has anybody been experiencing this due to the weather? ChatGPT said that the sudden drop in Barometric Pressure coincides with my spikes, but other factors like emotions and sinus congestion could be contributing. Dealing with another sudden spike but my sinuses seem to be just fine now.

I'm thinking go to ENT today, as I barely hear my voice in two mornings now, it's quite annoying to deal with this, but good news is vibration, and echo is gone, well vibration almost gone, but the ringing is back to normal which doesn't bother me much than my hearing right now.

I want to die, my tinnitus has only gotten worse over the past six years.
Now I hear something like the sound of a vacuum cleaner, and my other sounds are more intense (high-pitched sounds, electrical sounds, the sound of a dental drill, Morse code, the sound of pipes). I can't sleep at all
I live locked up in my home, I don't know what is causing this worsening. Could it be the Mirtazapine?

thanks for asking. No I haven't. I'm having a really bad day today. I washed my hair for the first time in 2 weeks and I've caused a major spike. I was on antibiotics last week and I took a sleeping tablet every day with the 7 day course. Last night was my first night off antibiotics and sleeping pills and I only slept for about an hour. Think I'm hooked on the sleeping tablets even though I only get about 4 hours sleep with them, its still better than the usual none or one hour.

I'm demented with this. I fight suicidal thoughts every day. I'm seeing a private audiologist who specialises in hyperacusis but that too is really extreme. I just don't have the energy to kill myself but this is so difficult to live with. Are you better? How do you cope with this?

Today i was outside in the "factory" where i work and i needed to get past someone that was using an angle grinder. Was like 1 metre away from him when he started to cut thru a big pipe. Very uncomfortable but had mine SNR 35 DB moldex earplugs so i think i will be safe.

Kingsfan if it's by allergies then it be easier to recover from it, I'm hoping it's a cold like my uncle said, but however unfortunately my cousin grandmother lives around here and smokes outside, so I'm not sure if Eustachian Tube Dysfunction caused by this.

Had a meeting today at my work. I use jabra speaker for teamcalls. I thought it was very "annoying to my ears" and double checked the volume after like 5 minutes into the meeting and it was on 60% (i always got it on 20% on volume). Probably my coworkers borrowed it and increased the sounds and didnt tell me. Dont think that will hurt me but it is very annoying and aggrevated my ears quite alot.

you still take clonazepam?

I'm having a tough day today, and that's probably just the result of a weekend where I had to give up my comfortable solitude for two days.

Twenty-two months later I begin to resume my hobbies

I wish it could stay this way forever, for the rest of my life. The problems weren't as furious today as they are most of the time.

Have you got any better?

Not feeling good right now, I barely hear voices and my appointment is on the 27th of Octoober, I wish I can go earlier

Being in a spike really sucks, I pray and hope that it will att get back to normal soon enough, I was doing so well for the last one to two years!

T will be the death of me.

I somehow managed to get myself vestibular hyperacusis or something. Nausea, vertigo and feels like my head is between a press.

Ear is most important organ of human body

I forgot to renew my Betaserc recipe. I've been without it for 3 days now and my ears are definitely worse. Louder and ears are also aching. I hope I get a new prescription soon.

i wouldnt say that sounds makes me "PANIC" the way they used to. I still spike ALOT tho and some seems to be permanent. I mostly get angry or irritated when people yell, clap their hands etc close to me that creates a spike and im like "oh crap not another spike". Its good to not get super panicky and anxiety rid but still getting the spikes is kind of the hardest thing for me to deal with since it drains my energy and make me feel like im going backwards in progress

Somedays not sure how much longer I can keep going. What choice do I have but to keep going.

My morse code that I had years ago is back after a new trauma. It blends with sounds like microwave, running water or A/C and it´s disgusting. Don´t know if it´s dysacusis. Talked with my wife about VAD last night. She is not totally against it, but not in the near future, we´ll see in the coming months.

You never know the plan. You never know what's going to happen. We are not even promised tomorrow. I just try to focus on one day at a time. - Morgan Wallen -

I wanted to share this video with you-



Also, I keep reading about the fact there are only a small number of people who actually come back to tell of their success. I guess they just want to forget it ever existed for the time it did.

Didn't ever believe that Susan Shore's device would work for me. But anyway, by the time it comes out I won't be able to use it because I won't be able to hear frequencies of my most bothersome T. Out of hope. Can't sleep today.

how long do i have to endure this? susan shore device looks shit anyway and i live in turkey
