    My Hyperacusis Recovery Story

    Thanks for sharing your story @windwalker, and congratulations on your recovery! I was wondering, did you ever experience any sound distortions during your recovery process (i.e phantom noises that occur in the presence of certain audio frequencies)?

    Hyperacusis Success Story (37-Year-Old DJ/Producer), Caused by Acoustic Trauma

    Congratulations on your recovery @shurikn and thank you for sharing your experience. It's always encouraging to hear from those who have recovered from hyperacusis. I was wondering; have the sound distortions dissipated since onset? And if so, how long did it take for them to subside?

    Do Sound Distortions from Hyperacusis Typically Go Away Over Time?

    Hello Brian, I'm glad to hear that your distortions have improved as well. I understand that you've had tinnitus since 2016; did your distortions set in around the same time? I'm curious because I've heard that recovery from hearing damage is more likely to occur within the first two years...

    Do Sound Distortions from Hyperacusis Typically Go Away Over Time?

    Hello everyone. I've been experiencing sound distortions in both ears for about eight months now (likely as a result of my hyperacusis which set in around the same time) which typically manifest as a distinct whistle or whooshing noise in the presence of certain frequencies (it's especially...

    Have I Developed (Permanent) Reactive Tinnitus & Hyperacusis from Exposure to Security Alarm?

    I took the ear drops for ten days this time (I ran out of droplets on the tenth day of treatment), and began to notice further improvements to my condition a week afterwards. Just like before, some sound distortions became quieter while others disappeared altogether. I went back to my doctor...

    Have I Developed (Permanent) Reactive Tinnitus & Hyperacusis from Exposure to Security Alarm?

    I took the ear drops for seven days as prescribed by my doctor, and began noticing improvements a week after stopping treatment. Some sound distortions became quieter while others disappeared altogether. Sound sensitivity seems to have improved as well. I went back to the doctor yesterday for...

    Have I Developed (Permanent) Reactive Tinnitus & Hyperacusis from Exposure to Security Alarm?

    My doctor examined my ears today and discovered a buildup of fluid behind both eardrums along with a minor bacterial infection in one ear. I was prescribed Ofloxacin otic (ear drops) and am already feeling a lot less pain in both ears after a single dosage (although my aforementioned symptoms...

    Have I Developed (Permanent) Reactive Tinnitus & Hyperacusis from Exposure to Security Alarm?

    My baseline tinnitus is more or less the same, but my sound sensitivity seems to have improved a bit as I find myself experiencing less discomfort in the presence of certain noise levels. One thing I forgot to mention is that feelings of aural fullness in both ears subsided after one week...

    Dysacusis — Will It Subside?

    I'm sorry to hear about your predicament. Have you tried Melatonin? I started taking it a week ago (two gummies before bed each night) and have found that it helps me fall asleep a lot quicker (although I still use a pedestal fan to mask my baseline tinnitus at night). I'm glad to hear that...

    Dysacusis — Will It Subside?

    I'd also be curious to know if dysacusis typically improves or resolves over time as I've come to experience it following the onset of mild-moderate hyperacusis four weeks ago. In my case, it often manifests as a high pitched whistle in my left ear and/or a metallic "sssss" in my right ear. The...

    Have I Developed (Permanent) Reactive Tinnitus & Hyperacusis from Exposure to Security Alarm?

    I won't be able to see my doctor for the next two months, but I'll be sure to ask them about the medication during my next appointment in early August. In the meantime, have there been any reports of people recovering from reactive tinnitus/hyperacusis induced by loud noise exposure? I'm...

    Have I Developed (Permanent) Reactive Tinnitus & Hyperacusis from Exposure to Security Alarm?

    I actually started taking Prozac (fluoxetine) for my obsessive compulsive disorder at the beginning of May. I began with a daily dose of 10 mg for two weeks, then increased my dosage to 20 mg on May 14th; roughly four to five days before I started to notice my symptoms. With that being said, I...

    Have I Developed (Permanent) Reactive Tinnitus & Hyperacusis from Exposure to Security Alarm?

    Hello everyone. I'm twenty six years old, and for most of my life, I could recall hearing a faint "eeee" whenever I was in a quiet room, but it never really bothered me. I always assumed it was what everybody else heard in complete silence. Fast forward to Sunday, May 16th (just over two weeks...
