Turmeric and ginkgo did nothing for my hyperacusis. CBD Oils and magnesium are good calming agents. Hyperacusis is a beast. It does what it wants to do. I am sorry you have this condition as tinnitus is enough. I’ve had it for almost 11 months. The items you listed sound loud some days and...

Hi Capstan, I am sorry you feel this way. Please take comfort that most of the folks (including myself) on this forum blame themselves for their condition. They feel guilty for their actions or inactions that lead to tinnitus and/or hyperacusis. But they realize they cannot go back and have to...

I am very happy for you. Progress is the best medicine. Continue to improve.

I am sorry you are going through this. If these noises (i.e., clapping, voices and doors closing) sound louder than normal than you may have loudness hyperacusis. If not, please try to relax and lessen the anxious thoughts the best you can. Be thankful if you are not experiencing pain or...

@East Let me clarify. I did not read that in Jastreboff book. He told me on numerous occasions while undergoing TRT that benzos negatively affect habituation.

Cut the garlic bulbs in very small pieces place on spoon then add honey. Shallow them and follow with drink of choice. Do not chew them. Swallow them with the honey.

No meds. Do you sleep well without them?
