    Try not to use earplugs at home, it its will only cause stress to your ears, and humidity inside your ears. To beat H you need to expose your ears to normal sounds. It is better if you just hold your fingers to your ears when you need to. I know how it feels. My own voice used to knock me off my...

    Update from me, 15 weeks after the first shot of Pfizer. After the shot, I got hyperacusis, louder tinnitus and a new clicking sound, and pain in my ears. Other than that I had fatigue and dizziness for 8+ weeks, flu feeling for about 4 weeks, and inflammation throughout my body. The...

    Hi. I think the spike went away again after a week or so. I did not have perforated eardrums, the ENT doctor said that ciprodex was the only safe eardrops if you have that. But it is two different ciprodex where one is safe and the other have a caution notice. I am sorry it took me so long to...

    Share Your Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccine Experience: Any Impact on Your Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

    Update on day 3: The morning after my first shot (Pfizer) I woke up with pain in my left ear, it was warm too, and the side of my neck was really painful. Last night the pain was in both ears. Same today; pain in both ears. Hyperacusis is still present and my tinnitus feels more aggravated. But...

    Why Are Things Sounding Harsh/Coarse/Rough — Almost Like a Broken Speaker?

    I used to have it like that when I spoke myself. It was a time I had to whisper or talk with a low voice because my ears went nuts if i spoke at a normal sound level. Some sounds and some pitches still trigger it. I got a masking hearing aid that I started to use. Not to mask the tinnitus, but...

    Why Are Things Sounding Harsh/Coarse/Rough — Almost Like a Broken Speaker?

    Hi. Could it be hyperacusis? I get the broken speaker sensation in my ears a few times. I have been fine a long time, but it came back a few hours ago (1 hour after I got the first jab of Pfizer today). If it is hyperacusis that distorts the sound, it likely will get better in time. Hugs to you.

    Share Your Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccine Experience: Any Impact on Your Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

    I just got vaccinated today with Pfizer. My hyperacusis is already acting up. But it might be because I am really scared and overly sensitive right now. I just hope that my tinnitus don't get worse than it already is. I first decided to avoid the vaccine, until now. I took it now because where...

    Tips for Losing Weight?

    I downloaded Lifesum. And I paid for 12 months. There is a free version too and it is pretty good, but I wanted to see the amount of fat etc in the food I eat. I have a few health issues that prevents me from working out, other that slow short walks and stretching. But I feel I have a bit...

    Which Ear Drops Are the Safest for Ear Infection, to Avoid Making Tinnitus Worse?

    Hi. I had the same issues. My ENT took a swab to see what bacteria it was first. I had a staph infection. Got Ciprodex Otic for that. I was so scared when I used it since I got tinnitus from Ciprofloxacin tablets. So it spiked a whole lot. But reading research about it it say it is safe to use...
