@Michael Leigh Hi Michael, Thanks for replying. I have an appointment with the audiologist in February. She did mention the levels should increase. However, I will discuss the ins and outs of this when we meet. I have been wearing the WNG generators everyday all day and I think my H is a...

Hi Michael, I have been using WNG for a month and a half. I wonder if you know what level/volume they should be? Mine are set quiet low. Many thanks Alastair

Various- -Crockery/wine glasses being banged together- awful -Church bells -Banging of wood with a hammer- walked past a roofer banging rafters - ouch ouch ouch! Than T is increased for a while after. Calms down eventually but have to go through that process all over again! -Bricklayers tools -...

Hi Michael, (hope I have found right area to reply) Just as an update from our earlier conversations re. H. I have the WNG all set up and have been for the last 3 or so weeks now. It's set pretty low but comfortable and I am able to wear the plugs all day . In fact they are extremely...

Hi Michael, Will read those articles - thank you. The Oasis machine looks excellent. Will definitely order it. Thank you very much. cheers Alastair

Hi Michael OK I think I will make an appointment to see the audiologist at the hospital and discuss these ideas. Anything to get this H A less sensitive. That is what is so challenging. What kind of sound machine do you use? What sounds have helped you? cheers Alastair

Hi This is something i have been worrying about with my T and H A. I have to go to the dentist sometime in the future- I will try to wear ear defenders and explain to the dentist why. Could this help you?

Hi Michael Thanks for your reply/link. Have ordered some filtered plugs, so will keep them with me on walks, going into town etc and will put them in when going past building sites and so on. That for me is the challenge- the sudden noise created by the banging of a hammer on wood/metal, beer...

Hi Just wondering what kind of work people do with hyperacusis and how they deal with it? Do you work somewhere quiet? Do you wear earplugs etc? Thanks Alastair

Hi Michael Thanks again for your reply. I am determined not to get too negative. Thanks for the links - I will have a read. I am going out on the mountain bike in a minute with the plugs given to me by the ENT. Not sure if they are 'noise reducing' as such. They are not foam but hearing aid...

Michael Do you think the Hyper A can be reduced/sorted? thanks Alastair

Wow what a quick reply, Thank you very much, I live along the coast in East Dean which is quiet. It is the Hyper A that is a struggle - yes. I am at the stage where I am scared that being exposed to anything loud will make my T permanently worse. I know it's mainly a fear really. For example, I...

Hi Michael Really good to read some of your posts and replies here. Here are some of my own experiences - hope OK. Have had T since Nov '15 and A gradually appeared 2/3 months later. The T is manageable generally. It was very frightening at first and very loud in the left ear. The NHS ENT have...
