  • I'm done with grocery stores. Sorry I'm done with it. Sorry mom, it's now up to you and only you. I'm fucking done with loud ass americans
    122 decibels bass in a car on a HEB parking lot. Insane pain in ears. I can feel the bass even after walking 7 minutes away from it. Fuck u.
    Wore my huge muffs to the Walmart. Didn't hear a shit. They block 100% of noise. They look funny but it worth it! Sooo good. They cost $13!

    How? Earmuffs are crap lol

    My hyperacusis must be extremely bad cuz I hear everything through them as if I didn't wear anything. And everything is STILL too loud with them on

    How do you do ear muffs? If I put ear muffs on my T is so loud. Pure torture, it's physically impossible to endure.Ear plugs cause me pain.
    Neurologist refused to see me because he knows nothing about hyperacusis, noxacusis, nerve pain, etc. Will request another one...God help me
    Pinhead
    Most know nothing, and if they know something, it isn't about treatment, at least in my experience.
    I got neurologist referral today. I hope they don't drug test because my state is extremely anti-weed. They gonna block all my meds and etc
    150 mg Ibuprofen helped but now tinnitus is 11/10. Hopefully just a temporary spike. And I hope I will be able to fall asleep tonight. Omg
    I am not going to use benzo today. Once a week is my maximum. Tomorrow is 7th day so probably tomorrow. But I hope it won't be needed! :c
    The worst day. Watching a movie and then probably praying to fall asleep. I want this day to be a fever dream. It's 10/10 loud and painful
    I hope tomorrow is a better day. I hope I'm experiencing a temporary spike or something like that, I won't tolerate *this* for too long...
    Why am I such a severe case? I never attended concerts or parties. I can't believe i have to suffer for the next 40-50 years. Oh my god
    Pinhead
    That's the worst part. It's not 50 years of "living", it's 50 years of enduring actual physiological acoustic torture every second.
    I'm not sure I can keep going. I'm trying to distract myself with everything. It just getting worse and worse. Pink noise don't help anymore
    I feel absolutely the worst since the trauma onset 7 or 8 months ago. Absolutely catastrophic. My head hurts so much. Especially inner ears
    Last 2 days my ears hurt more than usual, ringing is louder. Something is broken and I'll never know that. A nerve? Hair cells? A muscle?
    Dysacusis is completely gone but T is 9/10 and it's been like this for a week. So probably a new norm for me. Gonna habituate again

    @_Shoto_ Wow I still have mine after one year! How did yours go?
    Can I print out articles from Wikipedia and give them to my neurologist? Is that rude? I just know he knows nothing but I need meds from him
    kingsfan
    I would look for academic papers rather than wikipedia. Would be more convincing.

    Hi @kingsfan I don't think this is a better choice tbh. The general info should be very short and in 2-3 sentences. Doctors won't read more than that, plus the words should be very common and easily understandable. It took me 10 mins to explain hyperacusis to nurse practitioner :c
    kingsfan
    Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, as we have seen history articles being revised to fit certain narratives recently.
    My dysacusis and diplacusis are gone after one week. Fuck smoke alarms. I genuinely thought this was my new reality. I'm so happy! So happy!
    20 years of Susan's life is my last hope for a better life, or a life at all. I swear, she is like a God to me. I'm in so much pain rn
    Can some one tell me here why I decided to open that semi-plastic salad box without ear protection? I had earmuffs 5 feet away from me...why
    Well. It's been less than 2 hours since I opened that damn salad and now I can hear my tinnitus spike. Both ears. Very unpleasant waves...
    I will never go to kitchen without double protection ever again lmao. So far no worsening, but "81" is still too loud, even if it's just sec
    Opened the salad that was packaged in a semi-plastic container. The sound was 81db according to smartwatch. Felt like 200. I almost fainted
    My local Walmart has speakers on every entrance and they are set to 112-125 decibels according to my smartwatch AND my db meter from Amazon
    RunningMan
    My Walmart has them near at least one entrance. It will be playing music sometimes, but I don't always notice it, so maybe it's not even playing a lot of the time. It seems a little loud but not near that level.
    R
    Try supplements it might help
    Varda
    Talk to a lawyer about filing a claim against Walmart for having the speakers set to unsafe levels.
    Just found out about Diplacusis. It has four types. I think I have Diplacusis binauralis or Diplacusis dysharmonica. I'm not sure lol

    Too bad that absolutely NO doctor in the world (or at least USA) has ever heard of this condition, so again I'm on my own. Ugh. So fkng tired
    Dysacusis is very irritating. I hope I'll get used to it just like I got used to hyperacusis and tinnitus. Barely got used to but accepted
    Trying to enjoy small things because enjoying big things is no longer possible for me lol. Bought ice cream for $4 instead of usual $2.99
    Nurse practitioner in my family doc office asked to remove earplugs and then screamed in my ear. I have no words but I'm not surprised lol
    I'm gladly want to announce that now I'm officially diagnosed with dysacusis in my left ear. Credits to smoke alarm with 120(!) decibels yay
    GG_Ear
    So sorry to hear that. How would you describe your dysacusis? I hear a high-pitched tone/whistle/beep that overlays certain external sounds. Cars passing me on the street and driving on the motorway are the worst. I have to wear earplugs to stop it. But when I talk with earplugs in I hear the tone/whistle/beep over my speech.

    Hi @GG_Ear I have the exact same thing. High-pitched wind sound in my left ear. It's pretty noticable even when I'm just walking or touching something. Earplugs help but only by 70% :(
    I feel absolutely the worst. Probably cuz of 16 mg methylprednisolone. Ears hurt. Everything is disturbing my ears. Hopefully it's temporary
