Hi @Strawberryblonde! Yes, things are still going well on my side. H pain has mostly subsided and still T fluctuates but is much easier to manage than at onset. Still being careful and protecting my ears when necessary. Happy to hear you're doing OK too!
Hi @makeyourownluck :) nice to hear from you! I have indeed been able to enjoy music again for the last few months, which I'm super thankful for. I'm listening to a few of your latest posts on the music thread, great stuff as always.
I'm happy to read that things are better on your side too <3...
Thanks for the information, I'll look into a pair of Earasers as a complement to my custom earplugs then. The occlusion effect in mine is as you describe: way better than foam earplugs but still significant.
I'll keep this thread updated when I get the Earasers!
I am less experienced with tinnitus and hyperacusis then @Benjaminbb and @MindOverMatter but I definitely agree with both their posts. The key is to find a balance between protection and exposure, and that is unfortunately something you will have to figure out for yourself as everyone is...
I remember doing a bit of research on them and finding out that the most dampening model is the "night" one. Pros actually dampen a bit less than the regular model.
I've been cross-country skiing a lot in this Canadian winter. It's a great sport: a full-body, low-impact workout practiced in the calm of nature. It's been helping me a lot mentally with my condition.
Hey @Strawberryblonde, thanks for the message :) I've been managing pretty well since the new year. Back working, and seeing a therapist regularly which has helped a lot with the mental aspect of the condition. Tinnitus and ear pain are still present, although the latter has been getting better...
