    Itchy Ears with Pain Hyperacusis (Noxacusis)

    Nobody is 100 percent sure exactly what's going on with hyperacusis, sadly. Mostly cuz it's so rare and there are no studies on it. I'm a big believer in the Arnaud Norena paper though. Basically this entire debacle stems from the middle ear muscles overcontracting, then just being in a state...

    Hyperacusis Almost Gone — Neck Pain and Nerve Issues Remain

    Low inflammatory carnivore diet, man. I know diet is the last thing people want to change, even if they're obese dying in the hospital LMAO. But, the carnivore diet is on another level. Zero gut issues. Feeling strong from all that animal protein. Clarity of mind. It may not be for everyone...

    How Do You Cope Mentally with Hyperacusis and Being Homebound?

    We're all suffering with you. I know it isn't much consolation but some people are suffering far worse than we are. They'd kill for a safe place to sleep and eat everyday LOL. Mentally it's up and down. some days I'm optimistic, convinced that if I get into a solid routine, consistent noise...

    Documenting My Journey With Noxacusis (Pain Hyperacusis)

    Hey all... Just wanted to update. This will be my last post for a while I think. My hyperacusis and tinnitus are still the same since they got severe in October of 2022. Sadly, dry fasting has not worked out that well LMAO! I was able to go 200 hours recently (eight days). It's actually an...

    i don't think there's a modality for that... like how would they get past the eardrum? if i recall correctly, there was a study where they were able to put botox in the middle ear by puncturing the ear drum... but no ENT or doctor does that.

    Hyperacusis Is Not Always Permanent: After 6 Months of CBT and TRT, I'm Back to My Noisy Job

    Great work man! Congrats! I concur that overprotection is a problem for some people, including myself. When I expose more, generating positive emotions to even mildly uncomfortable sound like a plane flying by, I seem to relax a bit and am able to imagine a day when I can move freely throughout...

    Documenting My Journey With Noxacusis (Pain Hyperacusis)

    Just wanted to give a quick update! I've been struggling a bit these past 6 weeks with consistency and discipline. Since my hyperacusis isn't 100 percent debilitating, I'm still able to drive around and what not (with earmuffs on). However, too much sound exposure may be preventing healing...

    Documenting My Journey With Noxacusis (Pain Hyperacusis)

    Still working on my fasting. It's been a journey. I haven't made the type of progress that I set out to. But I still believe that fasting, dry fasting in particular, is the most effective way to detox the body. Experienced dry fasters say that people need to fast for 9-12 days to really see...

    My Hyperacusis, Tinnitus and TTTS Are at Their Absolute Worst — Considering Going to Hospital

    I was gonna say lol, if you go to the hospital, they will just look at you puzzled. People can't even fathom what this condition actually is when you get severe. It sucks. Even my mom's new boyfriend thinks that it's all in my head. If only he could feel how sound feels to me for just one second.

    I Have Kept Making My Hyperacusis Worse for Years — No More!

    I've been using dry fasting with some success the last 4 months. Dry fasting is incredibly challenging but rewarding if you can go at least 5-7 days, which actually isn't that hard once you get good at it. My longest dry fast is 6 days, twice. It sounds crazy but dry fasting heals a lot of...

    Documenting My Journey With Noxacusis (Pain Hyperacusis)

    Yeah sound therapy could be an option if this route doesn't work for me. I can actually tolerate low frequency music pretty well. And yeah my tinnitus is pretty loud but honestly it's not even that bad. I was actually laughing last night cuz I barely even notice it anymore, even while wearing...

    Documenting My Journey With Noxacusis (Pain Hyperacusis)

    Hey all. Just wanted to give an update on my journey with noxacusis. Sadly, I have not made the improvements that I set out to do, especially when I started to dry fast. My longest dry fast thus far is six days. I have experienced some healing though, at least emotionally, spiritually, and some...
