    A Year of Reactive Tinnitus and Severe Hyperacusis

    Hello @Jammer, @Yeshua7, @Michael Leigh, and everyone on this post. Having had bilateral tinnitus for thirty years and hyperacusis for three years, I have found that developing hyperacusis, which I believe I had very mildly over the years, has been a significant challenge. However, sound...

    Tinnitus Much Worse After a Total Hysterectomy

    Hello @Juliane, I feel like I've been called from my crypt, lol. I sometimes stay away from Tinnitus Talk because it can make you feel worse. I'm doing great, thank you! Nothing is linear. I've had lots of counseling, TRT, and support from positive people. I'm doing much better now. I'm not...

    Tinnitus and Hyperacusis from No Specific Trigger — Path Into the Unknown

    Hello @Chess. I’ve had tinnitus for thirty years. There were no forums thirty years ago, just books out of the library but we all found our way. So if I can do it; and it was 1985, I’m pretty sure you can do this. I totally agree with @Jupiterman that you are making steps to getting better. I...
