    @twa I need to undergo an oral surgery. A cyst in the upper roof of my mouth needs to be removed. They will be sedating me. After that I will need to take antibiotics as well as pain killers. Did you too take either of these post your surgery? If yes, what was the impact on H/T ?

    Still Alive and Doing Better! Hyperacusis and Pain Have Reduced by About 75%!

    Yes, it has improved quite a bit. I’m not sure if it has completely gone, but it’s still much better. Passing emergency vehicles near my house no longer cause lasting palinacousis.

    It would have been oral ultrasound. However, for now they have requested CTA oral maxillofacial along with CTA of head and neck (with and without contrast)

    It was not at all loud. I also wore Mac ear plugs firmly inside. My LDL is somewhere in late 40s. It (my LDL) is my personal observation not something that I got formally tested

    Still Alive and Doing Better! Hyperacusis and Pain Have Reduced by About 75%!

    When you started working with music at a very low volume, did you experience palinacousis? I listened to music at the lowest volume for 2 minutes. And it's been close to 15 minutes after that, and it still hasn't completely left my head.

    I No Longer Leave the House — Things Got Worse Overnight: Ear Pain and More Intense Tinnitus

    I haven't tried Gabapentin yet. My experience with Nortriptyline hasn't been very good. I've experienced side effects like insomnia and a high heart rate, which haven't gone away even after six months. I started with 10 mg and, with great difficulty, have tapered down to 6.5 mg. I think it will...

    Hyperacusis and Tinnitus Following Acoustic Shock: How Can I Continue My Life?

    I developed palinacousis when my hyperacusis started in December 2023. It's now been almost 8.5 months. I have seen improvement, but I don't think the palinacousis has completely gone away. It sounds like your case is severe (at least to me), and I would advise you to take an indefinite leave...

    I No Longer Leave the House — Things Got Worse Overnight: Ear Pain and More Intense Tinnitus

    Good idea. Always start with the lowest dose. To begin with, take one 100 mg Gabapentin once a day. Although, a doctor would probably prescribe you 100 mg thrice daily. All the best!
