.....Sometimes it seems worse than it was before but I can mostly ignore it and it doesn't freak me out like it used to!! How are you?

@WestHighlandWoof Hi, I'm so glad you're doing better! It's been a year for me, I get a lot of volume fluctuations and different sounds....

Hi! Ups and down, I'm coping better than I was in the first 3 months. Am trying to treat good and bad days the same! Not always easy! You?

Did you find your tinnitus reacting to noise?? I find mine really ramps up with almost any noise, my whole head feels like it's going crazy with different sounds and vibrations. Am trying to just ignore it all!

Any idea why my hyperacusis has become worse over time? And why my tinnitus has become so reactive to everything? Stress related?? My head is exploding!

Thank you @Greg Sacramento Did you use the pink noise only at night? Can I put it very quietly under my pillow? What about during the day? How did you deal with the noise around you? Do you think I've been over protecting? A part of me is tempted to just push through with very little or no...

After 9 weeks I can no longer stand most noises. Most things are torture, I've been hiding away in the bedroom most of the time just to get away from everything. Most noises cause my tinnitus to increase including a sort of buzzing sensation inside my head. I have to then lie down for a while...

Does anyone know why my noise sensitivity could suddenly be really really bad? I've been protecting my ears but I don't think over protecting. Haven't been subjected to anything unusually loud. Today and yesterday I can barely tolerate any sounds. Even voices are bothering me. It's become...

Oh(n)

:(

Really? It won't make things worse? I don't really drink at home but maybe I should give it a go.

Thank you for trying to help me. I know you're right of course. Maybe if we weren't in lockdown I'd have more to occupy myself. I'm trying. But I feel anything but calm. I have no joy in anything I do. It's either pain or ringing or both all day. I feel like everything hurts my ears now...

I don't like the sound of that;) @Julien87 mentioned he knew people who recovered quickly and there must be people with fast recovery surely. I mean I admit there don't seem to be many on this forum but perhaps those who recover quickly have no need to hang around here. Or don't get stressed...

@Michael Leigh I think you've responded to my response to @Greg Sacramento . I've quoted the message I sent to you above. There is some overlap though so thank you for the advice as always.

Thank you so much. Random spikes???? Could i just spike for no reason?!! Any idea why these ear plugs would have caused the occlusion effect when the foam ones didn't? I can't bear the set backs, I know this can be a long journey but a little part of me just hoped my ears would rest and I'd...
