Because it's really, really prevented me from enjoying music like I used to, which used to be one of my main enjoyments. It's been horrible going 2 years like this, and it still won't go go away. I also really, really do not want this to ever redevelop. If I could give a bit more detail where...

I have barely used headphones in months. I tried them some weeks ago but realized I still couldn't handle them. What I am wondering is you think the persistence I've exhibited is abnormal, but it's been about the same time period as yours and with minimal therapy. Was it exactly 2 years in your...

It took you 2 years for you to recover with therapy, while I have undergone little. I want to emphasize that in day-to-day life, hyperacusis affects me minimally and it's still only really things like headphones or certain artificial audio sources I have issues with. It's really a narrow scope...

@Michael Leigh Yes, I have read your case multiple times in threads such as these. I do not feel there is any need to use noise generators at this point, and I don't think my case was ever as severe as yours, except for certain periods during the 6-month threshold increase. I really do not...

I've made on and off threads about my struggle for over the past year with hyperacusis. It was around the middle of August in 2016 I first developed it, so it's been a little over 2 years since I acquired it. I really thought it would go away by then, but it hasn't. That isn't to say it for the...

Wow, had no idea it was that bad. I googled around and saw scattered indications of it exacerbating such things, it happened but it didn't seem that common, and some would report it made things better. My doctor after I brought this up likewise wasn't familiar with it exacerbating hearing...

I've made repeated threads here about aspects of my struggle with hyperacusis/tinnitus. Suffice to say, I feel like I for the most part am approaching recovery. I experienced a threshold increase later last year per a sort of parameter of how bad my hyperacusis is per someone that made it the...

I'd meant to write more a month ago, but I just lost interest and this whole thing has gotten me really down again. Since taking that amitriptyline (a 25 mg dose), I've regressed. When I improved a few months ago, I got to the point where I'd clearly attained a level of tolerance that I...

First off, since about the end of April/beginning of May, I have seen massive improvement in my hyperacusis/tinnitus. Ever since I went to a specialist over a month ago and they recommended I avoid wearing protection at all, simply refraining from wearing protection during periods I did...

I meant new in the sense of I've never seen that suggested before. But I will look into it.

Low level laser therapy, that's a new one. Seems to be something that a specialist must administer though. How might I be able to go about finding one who offers such therapy? I could say more later, but regarding diet, I have decided to refrain from coffee/caffeine altogether, as I've learned...

Pink noise helped me for a time, but then it ended up making it worse. It might help, but even if it does, you could become accustomed or sensitized to it and it could genuinely exacerbate things. That's what happened to me. If you find your tinnitus (if you have it at all) spiking with it, or...

How long did you have hyperacusis the first time before it lapsed? Was it this severe? What did you do to overcome/alleviate it?

I have predominantly hyperacusis, but my tinnitus became noticeable and pervasive for the first time back in October. I have had for sometime very abnormal sleeping patterns and get to bed very late and often wake up between 11 am-12 pm. Things have been somewhat improving recently, but I have...

I've posted my experiences on this board before, and I've posted about my recent experiences on another board, but not much has changed since I wrote what I last wrote. I made concentrated efforts to avoid using speakers and most artificial audio at home, and scheduled an appointment at the Mass...
