I have a similar set of issues. I have been dealing with tinnitus for 25 years and hyperacusis for about 20. This past April, I contracted COVID, which has caused near deafness in the higher frequencies, making my experience even more challenging. I was a professional musician but had to change...

Am curious if anyone who has had this surgery done could let me know how it went for them? I have incredibly reactive tinnitus and probably mild hyperacusis overall except that even low-moderate volume noise (75 dB+) can cause a long-lasting spike in tinnitus and pain; has been getting...

Does anyone know of someone who has actually tried this surgery? I have pretty extreme sound-exacerbated tinnitus and am losing functionality in my life and career. Have had to cut myself out of most if not all social activity. And, I just learned that I may need some major dental work done...

With hope this work may lead to more accurate outcome measurements that can lead to more effective research and treatments for those of us enduring Hyperacusis, I am proud to announce the publication of the Inventory of Hyperacusis Symptoms (IHS). Some innovations include much improved initial...

hi @kelpiemsp - we had several phases of validity checking with supervised methodological overview that was sought to ensure validity. All done by hand and color coding. Interestingly the themes matched almost entirely between reviewers, and configuring the fine points and deciding on names felt...

Hi Steve, thanks! I'll do my best: Basically, I reviewed and analyzed 418 responses from over 300 participants, and found that the experience of tinnitus made worse by sound can be characterized by themes of loss, isolation, psychosocial impact, communication difficulty and lack of...

The support so far has been awesome, wow ... last night, I was watching videos of myself in my former life as a musician and can't believe how much I have had to change as a result of T & H ... thanks so much for those who have participated so far, am hoping to get as many responses as possible...

Hi Everybody, Having severe tinnitus and hyperacusis for close to 20 years now and losing my former careers of music and education, I wanted to share with you all a project that I've recently been updating and refining. As part of my dissertation that investigated the impact of sound...

Hi Everyone, it's been a while! I recently tried out a new set of digital GHI simply tranquils (after losing my pair of 7 years at an interview...); it didn't help my tinnitus at all ... I went back to the analog version, but they had to build it again from scratch! I was told that they are...

Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who participated!! The survey have 420 total hits and 277 completions, which for a dissertation is a pretty great sample size. Much gratitude to this community for all the wonderful support, but the survey is now closed and analysis begins... If anyone will be at...
