  • Still sleep in protection but I wear double protection. Snoring could be causing it all to get worse. I no longer wake up with it quiet.
    Hi...I read your thread and I can tell you that I have the SAME PROBLEM.
    Reactive noise that reacts to food, to water, to conversations, to everything.. I also had normal tinnitus for several years and it turned into mega reactive. Very somatic. Let's support each other and look for a way out. I have hearing loss

    I have experienced the same things yall are and still do to a extremely bad state now. Please don't listen to anyone's advice to keep exposing to sound to make it better. Michael Ls advice saying there is no such thing as reactive T & noxacusis got me fuked when I still had a liveable level.

    Time , quiet and no meds are the only way for anyone with unstable Tinnitus.
    Reactivity with constant worsenings.

    @HopeForAll96 I am like you. So sorry. I also want my old T back. Long shot chance. Would you know if you have Gilbert's syndrome. Fairly benign condition that causes elevated levels of bilirubin in your blood. You could have it and don't know. Elevated levels of bilirubin can damage the auditory nerve.

    Also, are you sensitive to foods? Anything with salicylates spikes my tinnitus. Moving my neck, clenching my teeth, applying slight pressure to the right side of my head. You have any of this?
    I really want to know if my snoring with ear muffs is making my tinnitus worse?

    probably an unpopular theory, but I am convinced snoring can cause T. My T was not from a concert, but thinking back to it more, my tenants at the time period when my T came about, I heard them snoring from my floor every night for hours for 30 days. There were a combinations of other factors, but I think snoring is loud enough to cause noise trauma the more I think about it.

    @crescentsky So do I sleep without ear muffs? There are going to be noises while I sleep like someone using the shower or occasional airplane.

    I have a neighbor and his car wakes up the entire neighborhood. I brought heavy duty black-out curtains that seems to cut out some of the noise. Also birds too. I think ear muffs can also cause sound sensitivity but don't quote me. lol. This disease is unpredictable.
    How does one recover from a worsened Hyperacusis with Reactive Tinnitus?

    I know everyone is different. Hyperacusis is the brain saying "sounds hurt" so to retrain your brain that noises don't hurt, is to slowly and gently reintroduce yourself to sound again. Do it at safe levels for you. Ginger tea and tumeric homemade tea for pain and inflammation. I had bad H and still have slightly reactive T. Simple noises can over do it. Do it safely and slowly. You'll be okay.

    Don't over protect but protect for small amounts throughout the day. Expose yourself to low level sounds for 10 mins a day and keep going. This is the hyperacusis therapy given by the University of Michigan that I used.
    Oh God it's so bad, I can't wear hearing protection it's so loud.

    @HopeForAll96 - I could have written everything you have said. This one the most. I cannot wear hearing protection. The sound of my T is deafening with it on. I had to use sound therapy 24 hours a day. Even though it hurt a little I had to use it. Now my T is worse then ever and sound therapy burns my ears. May God please help all of us.
