The improvements will gradually come in the following months after the treatment sessions. The sessions will basically give your body the ability to heal itself, and healing itself will take time. A lot of people are quick to jump the gun right after the treatments, saying it doesn't work and...

I've done HBOT three times across 1½ years or so. All three had 5 sessions each, so it was done in a week each time. I did it each time after my tinnitus got worse due to exposure to loud sound, but that hasn't happened since 2017. It's all thanks to taking good care of myself by wearing...

I had the spike every time after treatment and it always went away in a few weeks. I've also never heard of anyone's tinnitus becoming permanently worse because of HBOT. This is what my HBOT doctor and audiologist told me.

I suspect I might also have ETD (Eustachian Tube Dysfunction) as my left ear failed to regulate pressure during my HBOT sessions. I had to keep it manually open by blowing air through my nose (don't do it too hard or you'll rupture your eardrum) and sipping small amounts of water and swallowing...

How much is it bothering you? HBOT can also reverse hearing loss to an extent. I know I was quite desperate when I took the treatment, but I felt much better afterwards knowing that I tried my best. If you can barely hear it, you'll get used to it after a while. That said, I've taken HBOT...

Hey. Decided to log back in after quite some time since as per usual, people want to find out what happened. Happy to say my hyperacusis is now gone. My ears no longer feel sensitive to any everyday sounds, and they don't cause me pain or discomfort (unless they're like legit loud sounds that...

No noticeable hearing loss. T only so far.

Self treating because I personally don't feel like spending $5000 on some noise generators. I was planning another visit to an ENT doctor in case they'd have some advice for hyperacusis and ear pain treatment. Though I think I'll just have to remain patient for a month or two and see how it...

So you're saying that I should just risk the hyperacusis getting worse for now rather than start TRT already because my ears need more recovery time?

I think it's common for tinnitus to fluctuate a lot during the beginning, so it might switch between ears, and tones can come and go. It usually stabilizes eventually after some weeks and stops acting so wildly, but if it's reactive, many stimuli can affect its loudness and style. Mine has...

Hi, Recently I've regrettably developed mild hyperacusis as a delayed onset from a concert that I attended a month ago (even though I wore earplugs), which also spiked my tinnitus, but didn't result in any hearing loss. Right now, even a single car or two that pass by me at medium speed sound...

I've been to HBOT thrice. First time was like 8 weeks from onset or something, didn't really do much, but it was a mental relief at least. Second time was 3 weeks from re-exposure onset, helped significantly, made the tinnitus in my right ear disappear completely. Third time was around the same...

Like glynis said, I see habituation as just one's way of coping with it. Doesn't mean they necessarily end up leaving the whole community due to it or discourage finding an actual cure. Those who are truly motivated in finding a cure will continue working on it even if they do habituate. That...

So, it's been nearly a month since my new HBOT treatment, and I actually have some good news to share. The tinnitus in my right ear lowered to the point where it no longer bothers me anymore. I still have a random kind of tinnitus that likes to show up at night time and especially in the...
