      Listening to my neighbor's dog barking 3 hours non stop (it saw a cat) and dreaming about my new apartment without balconies. I can't wait!!

      I wonder what ppl with catastrophic T do when their sleep meds stop work so now they can't sleep at all...Do they sleep once every 2 nights?

        It varies. Some people seem to be able to sleep anyway. Some sleep meds help. Best to avoid benzos and Mirtazapine because they stop working leaving you even worse off due to tolerance and dependency.

        My brain just sort of blacks out. I don't "fall asleep" really. It's like a trauma response. It's also the best part of my day and my entire life.

      My T spike is still here and 2mg of clonazepam did nothing at all. I still can't sleep. The ringing is just too loud. Crazy. CRAZY times

        Hi @streifzug ! Thanks. I think I feel better now. Probably it finally calmed down to my almost usual level. I can hear my T everywhere expect the shower, so I think I'm back to my normal again lol

      Tinnitus is 10/10 instead of my normal 7/10. Be careful with ADHD meds guys. Everything was always alright but today 10 mg of dex spiked T..

      My family doctor said I should find a neurologist by myself. I swear PCP doctors are so useless. They can't do anything at all

      ADHD meds comedown is harsh on tinnitus. Very harsh. Before T I never even had a comedown side effects at the end of the day. Ugh...

      My new apartment has a bedroom that doesn't have any neighbors from all sides. So happy. And this complex doesn't have balconies! So good

        Hi @ECP, the dogs. Many people are allowing their dogs bark there overnight. They bark at pedestrians, leaves, and cats. My current neighbor is letting their dogs bark on the balcony from 5am to 7am. 4 days a week. I can't live like this :( No balconies/patios means no dogs at night and early morning! Can't believe I was able to find the ONLY apartment complex without balconies. In a city of 400K...ugh

        Your landlord shouldn't be letting the dogs bark so much, but it's a moot point now that you've planned your escape. Congratulations on the new place!

        Dogs don't care about what neighbors or landlords think. And their owners don't seem to care. They bark all the time.

      Today I saw my future apartment. It's bad. But it's cheap, the walls are thick, and the HVAC units are not under my window. 5/10

      2 weeks ago I recovered from 100 db fire alarm. Yesterday I was exposed to 120 db bass in a parking lot. The problems can't leave me alone

        Nope. I'm too scared. I know I'll get a spike. Probably permanent. So now I'm just getting ready to move to another apartment and finding a neurologist to get meds for TTS

      I know bass is less harmful to the inner ear due to thick hair cells but I'm still panicking. Fuck me. Why did I go outside in Texas. Why...

      I hate the fact that you can't block bass even with double protection. Even with foam earplugs and professional earmuffs. 120 db bass is 120

      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!

      Neurologist refused to see me because he knows nothing about hyperacusis, noxacusis, nerve pain, etc. Will request another one...God help me

      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

      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

        That's the worst part. It's not 50 years of "living", it's 50 years of enduring actual physiological acoustic torture every second.

      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

        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

        Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, as we have seen history articles being revised to fit certain narratives recently.
