I consider myself a success story. I'm mostly pain free after about 9 months. I did nothing at all, no medication, no therapy, just rested my ears the first few weeks when it got really bad. I was a 6.5-7/10 in the pain scale for 4-5 months until it got better. I did lose some hearing in the...

In September/Octorber 2020 I got an ear infection on my right side which had as immediate symptoms distorted/muffled sounds and sound sensitivity, followed by HOT ears (sometimes both for some reason), burning/acid burning in the ear and soreness. These symptoms escalated to a solid 6-7/10...

Hey, I have a question. You say your audiogram is normal yet you're hard of hearing? I have a problem that's similar. I am actually hard of hearing and have been my whole life, but lately feel like I hear worse ever since an ear infection, but the hearing tests don't show any objective loss in...

Is this all like a coping mechanism for you guys? Like if it's coming, it's gonna take a long time to do so still. Being hard of hearing on top of having hyperacusis I was hyped as fuck on this but now I'm just done.

I first started noticing it well before getting hyperacusis. Little sounds would sometimes sound a little auto tuned or distorted. It became gradually worse and now fluctuates after getting ear infection back in October 2020 which resulted in my hyperacusis manifesting itself.

Dilemma. I have hyperacusis but really bad hearing so I can ease it a little when my hearing aids are off. I'd still rather have your hearing though.

Very happy for you that you got one good day at least, but I am confused. Are you more bothered by your tinnitus than your hyperacusis?

What is a good day for you?

That's what I'm saying. But to be fair, that man was on every drug under the sun.

Let us know how it goes <3

You try it then man.

Yeah I had that acid thing too.

I'm very sorry about that. I also have it pretty slightly when listening to music, sometimes the voices will treble way too hard or sound robotic. I've just gotten used to that. But you said it eliminated your hyperacusis pain though?

You're the second one since Danny Boy then to have eliminated hyperacusis with Keppra? Or have there been more?

Keppra is a little bit on the no go list for me since the dude that recommended it first, @Danny Boy, died.
