Hi, It got quieter again. My hyperacusis was worse for a long time afterward, but that eventually settled as well. I believe protecting the ears after the initial acoustic trauma is important. In my case, the second one made the recovery take much longer.

Thank you @slc. It's good to hear from you, and I'm glad you are noticing an improvement. This comes at a perfect time too because I'm getting over a head cold. I had intense sinus congestion for over a week and I started noticing it affecting my ears. As I write this, my left ear feels plugged...

I looked at the ingredients, they are basic enough and you could probably buy most of them in a health food store. As a general rule, don’t buy herbs randomly from eBay that come from China, or any other websites like that. You don’t know what you’re getting, there’s no quality control, and it...

Nice! I did abhyanga today. So good for pacifying vata!

Thank you! I'm going to start incorporating Ayurveda into my healing regimen again.

Haha, thanks @DeanD :) Yes, it can. It can even help tinnitus from other causes - like neck tension, TMJ, or other issues. I treat myself with Acupuncture and notice improvement in my symptoms. I had an acoustic trauma and have hyperacusis. I have had improvement with symptoms of pain, plugged...

I'm glad you shared! That's how we find ways to get better. And thanks for the other tip about the tincture. Good to know this helped, and I will report back if I give it a try! Sara

Thank you so much Stephan. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your protocol with me. I have had success with Ayurveda in the past for other issues, it's very healing. I also have primarily vata imbalance, with slight pitta as well. Did you put the Sidha Soma oil in your ears...

@Kevin Tavin, thanks for sharing. I'm not familiar with this herb but I'm going to read more about it. Interesting that it is said to help with neuronal disorders and convulsions. I've read on Tinnitus Talk about people getting better with anticonvulsants.

Hi @Michael Leigh! Did you ever experience burning or stabbing pains with your hyperacusis? Thinking I might be ready to slowly start sound therapy with Treble Health. I am planning to start only with the sound machine and no maskers. I know you had success with this, but I have seen mixed...

Would you mind sharing what Ayurvedic herbs you have used? I know it's specific to your constitution, but I am curious what has been helpful. Also, did you ever have hyperacusis? Cheers, S

I think your lack of knowledge and information prohibits you from having the ability to correctly understand holistic medicine. TCM is a branch of medicine, but good for you for misreading my post then trying to mansplain my profession to me lol. Being dismissive of something because you don't...

I read the below study recently. You can skip down to results and conclusion if you don't want to read the whole thing. While this talks about electroacupuncture, it's reasonable to extrapolate that this information could apply to non electroacupuncture as well. Effect of Electroacupuncture on...

Hi @Stuart-T, I’m an Acupuncturist, so I wanted to to respond to your post. Just as in Western medicine, tinnitus is one of the most difficult things to treat in Chinese medicine (which includes Acupuncture) as well. I remember one of my professors telling us that in class. I think that...

I just wanted to chime in. I would protect your ears and be cautious about loud sounds for at least a year if not more. My audiologist didn't tell me that after my acoustic trauma, and 10 months later I had a setback that I have never fully recovered from. That was two years ago. I'm doing much...
