Actor Burt Reynolds had long-lasting hyperacusis after being struck on the jaw during a movie fight scene.

Go to the NEWS section in Google, and type in "tinnitus." You'll find many recent news articles in which hearing professionals claim that hearing loss, tinnitus, and sound sensitivity are dramatically increasing, especially in kids. Hyperacusis is also now frequently mentioned.

RaZaH, Have you noticed any changes with sound sensitivity?

I don't think vitamin D tests can read that high.:) If you are thinking about a magnesium test, have a look at this: http://www.easy-immune-health.com/magnesium-level.html

I don't know where you fall, but a lot of people on this forum are walking laboratories. Their tinnitus probably has no idea what's happening or what's coming next.

Wow... RaZaH, I do know someone who flushed all his supplements down the toilet. He got so fed up with his ears that he said, "The heck with it." He even threw away his earplugs and started ignoring his diet. Instead of buying vitamins, he took friends out to eat. And he got vastly better in a...

Actually, that's true. People with central gain problems (in which severe tinnitus and hyperacusis come and go) will tell you that when the gain is turned way up, they can hear everything that's going on in their hearing system--including an orchestra of tinnitus going all over the place from...

RaZaH, How long have you been taking it?

So, 30,000 IU?
