I am thinking about starting the migraine program as well. Three months in, how has your loudness hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus improved? Are you able to do anything now that you could not do three months ago? Thanks!

For about eight weeks now, I have been experiencing a white noise-like external sound when I watch TV on volume levels 1 to 3. It feels like background noise that overpowers people talking, so I have to increase the volume a bit to hear clearly. A lot of people say audio quality is bad for them...

@Lorna46, that's great to hear there's been some improvement. Thanks for the tips! I've been lucky that I have some family visiting from abroad, so they've been taking care of my daughter most days. That means I'm home alone much of the time. How are the kitchen sounds for you? What about...

Thanks, @MindOverMatter, for your reply. During your major setback or when this happened to you, did you notice any improvement within the first three to four months? I’m not asking about major improvement, just small changes, like some sounds dialing down a little. I don’t use ear protection...

@ECP, did you try Clomipramine? Has your loudness hyperacusis improved since your last setback?

I will keep this short. In March, after attending a party with a DJ, my mild tinnitus became loud, and I experienced hyperacusis for a few days. Things improved after that. However, following a plane ride, catching COVID-19, and taking antibiotics all around the same time, I developed reactive...

@Lorna46 have your kids broken up for Christmas? I hope you have seen much improvement. I've seen none.

@gameover, thanks for replying! It’s great to hear that you were feeling okay while flying, and even better that you’ve noticed some improvement. I really hope it continues for you. Out of curiosity, how long were you in the mountains? My neighbor’s builders have been banging away for almost...

Dear @Lorna46, Thank you for your thoughtful message. I really appreciate it. Sorry for not replying sooner; I am trying not to come on here as often. Yes, I think we are in the same boat. Before the setback, I used to love going for walks, but now the heavy white noise from the air itself...

I just oiled two creaky doors that had been annoying me for weeks. It took one minute—I wish I’d done it earlier. I didn’t have any other oil, so I used extra virgin olive oil. (Yes, really!) I’ve been thinking about how you approach DNSR after exposure. For example, when you hear the sound of...

Hi @Lorna46, Thanks for your response. I love your post. Despite your difficulties, you remain so positive. I try my best to stay positive too, but I often have sad thoughts throughout the day and forget to do the “stop stop stop” or retrain myself. It is a shame we cannot connect directly to...

Hey! I’d love to hear an update from you. I hope you’re doing well. 🙏

@Lorna46, I’m so sorry no one has responded to you. I’m in the same boat. I have a 6-year-old, and I won’t be able to attend things like family meals outside, her nativity play, or a visit to Santa. However, I’ve made a list of activities we can do together at home. Currently, after school, we...
