Had a conversation with a coworker that is VERY loud when she talks. I thought my Hyperacusis was better so i just took 2-3 steps back and had the conversation for around 1 hour without earplugs. Was so proud that i managed handle it decent! Today im paying with a pretty huge spike tho :/

Had movie night at my friends place and my ears are slightly worse again. The movie wasn't even loud! My ears haven't been this bad in many, many ( y )ears. Frustrating. But what am I gonna do?

I think you should focus on the success you had 19/6! Recovery and habitulation seems like 2 steps forward and 1 step backward for most people. The key is to slowly push forward. One setback isnt the end, because each time you push forward, you risk a setback, and thats the whole point sort of. :)

hello, i read on your profile that part of your tinnitus was caused by ototoxicity, and i was wondering which medication made it worse? And i was also wondering if antidepressants worsen your tinnitus? which medication do you take and which have you previously tried, and what kind of effect do they have on your tinnitus? thanks!

Naproxen made my tinnitus worse. My ENT specialist confirmed afterwards that it was indeed an ototoxic anti-inflammatory.
I started with Amitriptyline and have now been on Mirtazapine for 4 years.
Neither of the 2 antidepressants made my tinnitus worse.
Going to music evenings has made it much worse.

so it was the naproxen that gave you tinnitus?

did you start the amiptriptyline before or after getting tinnitus? (what was and are your doses for these meds?)

why did you switch to mirtazapine?

Naproxen made my tinnitus worse. You can find my whole story here.
I swiched to Mirtazapine because Amitriptyline no longer worked. Now Mirtazapine no longer works because 2 years ago I resumed a social life and exposed myself to music.

I was able to enjoy music for the first time in 3 months. I felt like my inner child was alive again.

These 3 months was one of the worst spikes I've had in my 13 years with T. I'm still at a complete loss as to what caused it, but I'm glad I've come out of the other side for now.

I'm a novice when it comes to this type of work. I've always been a manual laborer. Do you think I have a chance?

To be honest. In Poland It will be very difficult to get a job in IT without proper education or experience in IT. To my knowledge, now in 2025, in Poland, there are many people looking for a job in IT industry. The competition is high. But I dont want to discourage you. The easiest way, if you are starting without education/experience, is to look for a job as a manual tester.

On youtube there is channel "bezrobotny". There are interviews with many people looking for a job, not only from IT industry. So maybe you can learn something from their experience.
FYi, I watch yt with muted sound and I read captions(subtitles), this is the only way with my hyperacusis.

I am thinking to use clonazepam same way you do but i am only 29 years old. My tinnitus, visual snow came after methylprednisolone intravenous which damaged my ears and brain it seems very odd reaction.

if you dont mind may i ask how old are you @Cmspgran

Hi, I don't mind you asking I'm in my early 40s, clonazepam isn't an ideal drug to be on at all but if it allows you to function and continue to work my philosophy is then it's the only option in my case. Tough at your age but understand what it's like to struggle so much.

A great success! Felt almost like my old self yesterday. This has been very difficult month and a half, so I did celebrate a little! I deserved it! Still, not yet completely as I used to be.
DamagedJoe
I am very happy for you! Gives me hope for my own future. I can not accept i will have this for life...

@DamagedJoe Thanks! Just give it time. :)

I don't still feel like before the evening in the club, but it's been almost 2 months now. So these thing take LOTS of time. Never going to a club again. Or any loud places.
