Thanks. That’s exactly why I’ve had to look elsewhere. I’d love a dog but there is no chance I’m going to risk it with how sensitive my ears are!

Ok... maybe it won’t be to bad and I’ve been misinformed. The last thing I want is to actually get them and then not be able to tolerate the high pitched noises. Considering a rabbit instead!

Why would I be kidding? Go on YouTube and type it in. They sound very high pitched and loud at times.

I put a deposit down for 2 guinea pigs for my kids. I assumed these would be a quiet animals which is why I went for them. I now have been told they can actually be quite noisy! Has anyone here had experience with them? I’d rather pull the plug now before they arrive and find a different animal...

Love this.

UK crew... How long has your hyperacusis been troubling you for?

Hi Sam, sorry to hear this! A week is still early so you never know, it could get better. I am also in the UK as is Michael Leigh who I am sure will be able to offer you some good advice. You are still young so that is in your favour. As others will no doubt say, try not to panic and focus on...

I can say with absolute certainty that the thing that finished me off was the screams of my 2 children at close range. That was over 18 months ago and there has been little to no improvement. I think for OP that there’s a good chance they will improve and recover as it appears to be their...

My fave hip hop album of all time.

I had no idea there was a hip hop thread on here. I will def check it out later. I do still listen to music but it’s in no way as enjoyable as it used to be and probably never will be. I collect hip hop vinyl and still enjoy the collecting side of things. But I rarely actually play a record.

Didn’t expect to find a Billy Woods fan on Tinnitus Talk!

Bro, you sound like you were like I am right now, especially the 4-year-old daughter bit lol. Honestly, reading this has perked me up. I will read your post again before the day is out. Just to be able to listen to and enjoy music again will be a Godsend! I have my first tinnitus therapy session...

I had this start in what was my ‘good’ ear around 4 weeks ago. It was completely random and I just woke up with it. I can’t really tie it to any particular event. The strange thing for me is that having suffered with tinnitus for at least 15 years, it’s come on during a very stressful time due...

Sounds like a perfect day! Mine was work and family so no relaxing unfortunately. Today hasn’t been particularly great either... I know I mentioned about potentially meeting for a coffee at some point but if I was to come to Brighton and buy you a Bankers fish and chips one evening whilst the...

Thank you again for your positive words Michael. Tell me, did your day go to plan and were you accosted by any seagulls?!
