So I haven't been on here in awhile. I came here for help a couple times, but mostly I tried to encourage others. Now my hyperacusis is worse than ever. In the last 3 months or so, I moved out of my home with my mother. After my father had a psychotic break and attacked my friend. 2 months...

Hi, I read your post and want you to know I have been through almost exactly what you have been through. I am going to be honest and tell you the only thing that kept me alive through it all. Faith, love and hope. My God carried me when the doctors, psychiatrists and meds did little to end my...

Yes after the festival it got worse for a couple weeks(my h that is.) my t rarely fluctuates and if it does it doesn't last long. My t was caused I believe by listening to an iPod/Cd player too loud for around ten years. Also went movies pretty much every week and played video games for hours on...

Hi, my t has stayed the same since the onset of my h. I don't really notice the ringing anymore. I suppose it's always there. I can hear it now but I just tune it out. There is usually a feeling of fullness which changes frequently and varies day to day. I usually don't freak out like I did in...

Hello, I joined this forum around two years ago and haven't posted in over a year and a half. Since then things have gotten significantly worse. I am no stranger to tinnitus that started 6 years ago or the hyperacusis it turned into about 2 and a half years ago. Generally I have always had a...

So I went to my GP on Wednesday and he referred me to an ENT but I can't get in for probably a week. He checked my hands for arthritis and turns out the wrist I broke over 10 years ago may be reinjured. He said I probably need surgery as I almost needed when I was 11 or 12. On top of all this my...

I happen to be on anti convulsants for limited seizure activity and another medical condition. These are not worth the risks. Sorry but you don't know what your talking about. Depekote which I am on causes tinnitus as a side effect. Muscle relaxants can help with pain but guess what? They can...

Hi Billie! T has over time increased my empathy and I know that positivity is the key to helping others and yourself succeed. Keep up the good work and be the light in the midst of darkness!

Hi, I recently joined tinnitus talk but have had T for almost 4 years all together. It started to become permanent in 2011 and recently I believe I have Hyperacusis as well. In the last 7 to 8 months I have become very sensitive to loud music, tv volume and Any type of Loud sound makes me very...

Thank you everyone for your support and yes I have recently suspected I may have hyperacusis. I have done some reading on it and after struggling for the last 2 to 3 weeks have been trying to prepare myself. I am going to the doctor soon and will get a referral for a specialist. I will be sure...

Hi, I am new to this forum but I have quite an uplifting story from about 7 months ago I would like to share. Basically my T hadn't been worrying me as much and one day I woke up and it was Completely gone! For over a month I had zero symptoms and no ringing. It was a mini miracle and even...

Hopeful and encouraged!

Hi there, everyone here has pretty much covered your question. I would just re-emphasize to AVOID loud noises and try to allow yourself to get at least 8 hours of sleep. If you have trouble sleeping like I do, you can take some over the counter sleep aids. I take Ambien and if you have frequent...

Thank you for your reply and it has been very hard at times to keep a positive attitude. The days I fail give me a glimpse into what others must be going through and even when I want to give up, I find I cant. I have always been a spiritual person and that has helped immensely with all of this...
