Hi @twa, I've been reading about your story a little bit and I see it's been some years now since your trauma. I recently suffered an acoustic trauma myself and wanted to ask how is your hyperacusis doing these days? How much it has faded for you over the years? Take care :)
@twa hope it calms down soon for you!! Just wondering, during your recovery and at its worst, did you try any medication to help you through? I have avoided antidepressants but I'm in month 7 and unfortunately my tolerance and mental stability or only worsening.
@twa I hope your ears get quiet again. My husband has worked in education all his life, and he always gets extra stress at the end of an academic term, so I bet you'll feel better in a few days when it's over.
@ErikaS I am also in month 7, and like you, I haven't taken any antidepressants or anti-anxiety meds, but I'm starting to consider it now. I wonder if I ought to have started them sooner when my mental distress was even worse, or if i was right to hold off until now.
