Me and my GF on our first trip to Orlando's theme parks, i think 2016. A long trip from Argentina. I plan on marrying her next year, but shhh, it's a secret!

I had multiple tones for more than a year. It settled to a constant white noise. It was loud in the beginning, but I can't tell if the volume has lowered or if my reaction to it changed. As you all know and or will experience, it's mostly the awareness of the sound that manages the volume...

I know this is and old thread of mine, but now almost 4 years after onset, my tinnitus and occasional hyperacusis no longer bother me. It's just the faint soundtrack of my life and don't even think of it anymore, I even "enjoy" the sound when in bed in total silence, my brain has accepted its...

I've been smoking since i was 18. 10 cigs a day. Today, 2 years after onset, i have a normal life and almost noticeable T most of the time. But i've noticed i've been smoking more to manage anxiety, i crave more nicotine. I'm afraid of what would happen if i suddenly stopped smoking... Looking...

Not surprised since having random levels of tinnitus, my hyperacusis annoyance level is equal to that given tinnitus level. I'm so envious of First World countries getting this all in advance. I'm waiting on Tinnitus Talk forum members' experiences, then I'll be hyped. I really hope this makes...

Havent been here in a while. If i sleep 8 hours its barely there. At late night and on my bed i can clearly hear it, but it isnt an issue to sleep, my reaction changed to it. This is my life now. Some rare days ill get sad but after doing cinemas, bars , etc (and being careful with earplugs) my...

Hy man! I’m nearing my 12 month mark. My H is gone but I have really good days of T and some bothersome days. Did yours fluctuate like that? I have a pretty normal life now, just don’t go to clubs, never liked them anyway. And I have very high frequency hearing loss on left ear (hidden hearing...

My hyperacusis has been remarkably better. Pretty much non-existent. But my tinnitus has been really present. I've lost my ability to manage situations, I drift away or escape from meetings or the university. I’ve always have that low ever-present high pitches in sound. I can’t focus on...

I thought I was doing OK. I’m 8 months in, I am still bothered by it most nights or in quiet environments. Or even on my office when it’s quiet, which sucks for productivity. My hyperacusis had gone to zero, but I still get some pain if there’s a sudden loud noise on my right ear, or with soft...

i sleep like a log regardless of volume, i feel good. Starting TRT in a month. Ill also check for TMJ as i can modulate pitch With jaw. Still, i stay away from phone calls and Loud noise. I cant even recall my state of mind on the first two months.

Hyperacusis is gone, I can now Stand My Loud friends without pain. Tinnitus is variable, I had some quiet days, only noticing it when on quite places or on bed. Today is a bit higher. It seems my hearing is better, I don’t feel my ear plugged. Just wanted to update, I’m going to a tinnitus...

Update 5 Months in: H is completely gone, i had a gathering with friends after christmas, laughter and screams didn't hurt a bit. No spike afterwards as far as i can tell. Tinnitus still lingering, some days bothering, other days i can't really notice it.

Hy! Update three months in, H still gone mostly, has to be really loud to bother, ear fullness went away for a week now. Tinnitus lingering but not as bothersome, spent a few full days without being bothered by it. Right ear still hears slightly lower but have to focus on it to notice, so i...
