    Those with Hyperacusis and Tinnitus, Please I Need Insight

    @Street Spirit Sorry for the last response here - I had typed something up days ago and accidentally deleted it!!!! I have not tried official TRT per say….but I believe I've done a good job of improving my noise tolerance informally over the years by gradually allowing myself to be around...

    Those with Hyperacusis and Tinnitus, Please I Need Insight

    @demi It's hard to remember exactly the first time…..It was several weeks or even months though. I didn't really understand what was happening at the time though and suffered frequent setbacks which prolonged it. I can describe better what's it like now though. When my ears do become irritated...

    Those with Hyperacusis and Tinnitus, Please I Need Insight

    @demi - Glad to hear some of your discomfort is easing. Usually the burning/cooling sensations seem to come and go and don't last too long. The fullness tends to be triggered easier though... I know what you mean with the dishes. I am confident I'm not the only one who will tell you this...

    Those with Hyperacusis and Tinnitus, Please I Need Insight

    Demi, IT WILL IMPROVE. I have had H for nearly 8 years now as the result of being front row at a concert for too long. It was awful for the months afterward. If I don't overexpose my ears to any substantially loud noise (concert, club, siren, etc.) and don't overprotect my ears in what feels...

    Simple Trick: Use Earplugs to Reduce Tinnitus Loudness

    Meestijn - Unfortunately I do already have it and have had so for several years as the result of a noise induced experience. I agree that overprotecting your ears makes it worse, but I guess I never thought ear plugs at night would be an issue since the environment is already dead silent to...

    Simple Trick: Use Earplugs to Reduce Tinnitus Loudness

    I leave them in….perhaps some pairs are softer than other because I do not find them uncomfortable. Just need a good soft pair.

    Simple Trick: Use Earplugs to Reduce Tinnitus Loudness

    I like most know that ringing is the loudest when lying in bed or in a dead quiet room. Even the smallest sound or movement will cause it to spike. I've noticed though that if I put in foam ear plugs when I get in bed and lay still, while the ringing is amplified at first, after 2-3 minutes...

    Celebrating New Year's...

    I recently went to a rock concert (Brand New) and sported 33 db reduction foam plugs plus a pair of those bad boy muffs you've linked above. A few people pointed and had a laugh at my expense but HEY, that means nothing in the long haul of life and longevity of healthy ears. If you'll be really...

    Young with Tinnitus

    Tenna, Myself also quite young and have had T for a few years now. It's recently been much worse as I pushed my luck attending a few concerts this summer. I never gave it a second though prior to a couple months ago as it was so minimal. I even wore ear plugs to these shows too! Find some...
