Hi @Gregg69004 , how's your hyperacusis going?
My MRI shows that I have one bulging disc and two herniated discs in my neck along with bone spurls and moderate to severe spinal stenosis. My next appointment with the neurologist is in March.
Hey The friendlyGhost. I was wondering if you could please share your story with me? Currently going through severe noxacusis.(Pain from everyday sound, homebound, double pro all day even in my room). Have you made any improvements since the onset? How bad were you? Thinking of possible surgeries?
I think the time has come for me to leave TT. There is not a single development in sight and lingering on this site only worsens my mental health. Take care y'all!
Still can't believe, still can't comprehend what happened to me
I just got an MRI done. Sounds do seem a little softer compared to before the MRI but so far my tinnitus is still the same as before.
yesterday about 10 strong SBUTT
Officially two months with Tina. She's unpredictable. She's quiet in the morning, all kinds of sounds In both ears that change like the wind. She ramps up a little around 2pm and bothers me for the rest of the afternoon. She keeps me guessing. I can't even describe the sound in my left ear rn. It's like your grandmas squeeky porch swing. Back and fourth.
this dang ear rumbling is getting concerning
Before Christmas my tinnitus was better than it'd ever been since I got it. Was usually just a faint white noise that I rarely ever thought about. Felt so very habituated..
Then on Christmas eve, my brother's shetland sheepdog let out her usual godawful loud highpiched bark 1,5m from my bad ear. And since then it's been bad again.. sigh..

Had a bad T day yesterday. some of it to do with anxiety, some of it stress, and of course the fail proof demon of noise. I had SUCH a good day the day before which also made yesterday difficult 
luckily was able to grab a couple hours of sleep (although choppy) and hoping it's improved or i'm at least calmer with dealing with it.

Trying to care more about my posture now, Stretching the SCM muscle and neck ALOT which sent my TT ballistic but i keep doing it in hope that it will calm down when i get all the muscles "stretched and calm". Hope everyone is doing good! 
"Oh but, but you are completely normal there is nothing wrong with you, you have no issues, you have no problem with doing your tasks, you are not crying constantly, you don't look distressed at all, you've been managing fine. Which means you are fine."
Ugh...
Ugh...
Well. It was nice while it lasted. Nothing like a good spike to remind you how obnoxiously relentless this condition is.
Also funny how you are almost expected to function normally/unstressed with all this added pressure from external unchangeable factors and other bs. Almost like having a four legged animal walk with one leg instead of four and somehow expecting it to behave the exact same way and at the same capacity/efficiency as it did before. Absolutely ridiculous.
Week 7. We got static and an occasional hiss or EE that fluctuate in my left ear. Lower volume than it has been for a while. But still annoying. Right ear is wind. It's obnoxious. How did we go from fire alarm in my head to faint jingle bells in my right ear to this!? Doing all the things to better myself all but my sleep is very broken, I'm just sleeping so lightly. blaming the prednisone. And the bout of insomnia.
Hope youre doing good! I am also having distortions and reactive/multitone tinnitus here... I am also a car lover too so its been really hard here. Its been about almost a month since the Acoustic trauma I had so seeing your success really gives me hope (Im 27). Sadly music sounds like distorted trash right now and ears are still sensitive.
When I got tinnitus I didn't even know what it was. Now it alters everything in my life. Awareness is lacking!
@Delta12 , thank you for contacting me. Sorry you suffer so much from tinnitus. At the start we usually suffer much as the ringing is so alien. Given time we will get better. I had to use medications too to help me, Ativan, Prozac, and sleeping bills. Check my success story "From Darkness to Light..." for detail. Take care. God bless.
Suddenly last week tintles cane
it started because i had a lott.of stress, little overheated People say
Then i go to my doc, and i cry and cry he said you got a panic or anexity disorder.
So he discribe medication ( Nortriptellyne) how helps me with stress and anexity its my second day, but is its not working yet.

Lovely how unfair things can feel and you're just supposed to pretend everything is fine. I'm tired of pretending.
Wind in right ear static somewhere (maybe left) and EEE or Ewwwa EWwwwah in left ear that both come and go.
It changes so much still
last night wasn't great. Wine is not my friend.
Taking more hydroxyzine than I'd like. :/ don't wanna make it worse but I need help sleeping still I guess.
Can make it louder when yawning or bending head forward.

Im still in this UBERspike. I start to think more that its my reaction + tension from the incidents that spikes me, makes no sense that dropping a catcage door that made like 100-120 DB send my TT from 4-5 to a solid 8/10. Its crazy. Anyone got tips how to adress the jaw and neck? Tried to go for a walk today but felt more like i was running away from people with dogs so that didnt make me more relaxed.
