Aw I’m sorry to hear it came back but glad you are hanging in there! I have reactive T too and currently dealing with a major spike or worsening so I sympathise

Reactive H isn't really a thing imo. Took my reactive T and H about a year and a half of resting before I saw Signiant change. At 8 months is when I first notice subtle change. I also was carful with my ear and wore filtered ear plugs outside the house.

Crazy how many tones there already are but they aren't really bothering me. It's the reactive T that makes it difficult.

Truer words have never been spoken. We knew it was heaven before this happened. Now some way that feeling is magnified. How I feel this !! I now see all hardships as blessing minus reactive T with H and N!

One month, got T, reactive T, H, some distortions and strange electric neuron sounds. The distortions got a little better and I also had some angle grinder sound which was horrific but it went away 80%.

8 months and reactive T seems to go up and down. It's terrible right now. I am so fed up.

Reactive T sucks. Mine was alot worse the first few months than it is now... however fans, whitenoise, road noise, crowd noise still bothers me.

@ErikaS I would rather turn it around and say it is a greater chance for you that it will actually help you - in total. It might wind up t from time to time, but nothing permanent. Unless you do something "stupid". I've worked out with reactive t for more than 3 yrs now.

@4Grace Regular T may not bother him, but if he ever developed reactive T, hyperacusis, noxacusis, or distortions, he'd definitely go insane.

That’s really great to hear, is your reactive T improving? I’m in a right muddle, moved onto carbamazepine and it definitely helped lessen the reactive Morse tones but then created an additional electrical zap which was probably more annoying. Stuck now to know what to do best!

@Karolina - I wish you better days. I know it’s not easy. The fraise “quietest in silence” is one I wish I understood. It is foreign to me. My T is very reactive and has always been loudest in silence.

After 1 month and 10 days I still have H. It's better than at the beginning but pretty much the same for the last 2-3 weeks. Also my reactive T is the same. Actually all of my tones seem to be reactive, except one 1khz tone which does not bother me. If I have any noise exposure, especially...

Yeah, my reactive tones are humming! from the the AC. I used fan noise to sleep for years before T. It was a tough road having to give that up and just listen to my head noise. It's much better now. Can sleep without benadryl or hydroxyzine and my head is LOUD.

Thinking of you mate. I’m hoping the shore device works for reactive t, if I’m as bad in another 12 months and it’s out, I’m considering flying to America im that desperate.

So basically all of my tones seem to be reactive. So maybe snoring makes the T louder, but if that is the case, earplugs would not work because of the occlussion effect?

@4Grace The volume of my T never really was the problem. It's the reactive T and diplacusis that are making things difficult. But I think i'm still in the mild category and now that I got my anxiety under control (most of the time) it is getting better.

@snizzleberry I have good news for you. If you can only hear it with ear plugged, and dead silence around you (aka sleeping), you will habituate very soon. I can hear it over most soundscapes, if I want - but most of the time it doesn't bother. Tinnitus that is (not talking about reactive t and h).

@MiaVIL I was struggling a lot from 2003-2007. Then I found a way to live with my T. Today it is hard for me to understand why I struggled so much because back then my T was not reactive. How hard could that be? But I guess it is all relative

@TheCapybara If I stay in silence for long and do nothing, all tones calm down and I actually have silence sometimes, but If I dare to do more than just existing or have some fun, reactive T or aural fullness will step right in.

My T is still reactive 13 months later, but less. It was reacting to my own voice early on, now it is just mechanical noises like car engine, etc.

Reactive t/h/TTTS can be challenging and a struggle for sure. Even more so when you are pretty new to it. Ive had t for 20 yrs and the latter for around 5 or so (I've stoppes counting). High frequencies has been quite a challenge for me too through the span of years. I was in a dark place in...

@billie48 - I read your story again. Wow! You are incredible. I also have incredibly debilitating reactive T. I try to do things I enjoy. When every little sound worsens you how do you find a way? I have been home bound for a week. Had a few days in complete silence.

T sound is super super high pitched 'eeeeeee. ' Even though H is only in the right ear, it's hard to distinguish if the T is rooted in any single ear. The T feels very much central to me (bilateral) even though I bet the hearing damage is only in my right ear. It's 24/7 but also highly reactive...

@Barry098 I still have something like this but it is not that bad. I thought it's just reactive T. I only notice it with static sounds. Sweeping through hair or bedsheets, showers and so on.

Sorry, not saying it’s easy but you can habituate. Pain H reactive T constant worsening is something else. Mine is related to the nerves plus major noise trauma. Not to mention concussions when I played hockey. A few months of meds. Every single thing that causes T. Not many had that happen to...

Were you already homebound since the start or after worsening? I'm able to go outside and somehow work a little bit with protection without the H worsening. But the reactive T usually has something to say about it.

@Sammy0225 I use a fan all night on low... it doesn't mask it but by morning it's less reactive... but sadly it's rinse and repeat every night. My T would be much easier without the reactive component but I'm not that lucky I guess

First couple of months were the worst for my reactivity and sound sensitivity. For me it settled down after that. T is still reactive, but not as bad. Still loud and variable though.

Artificial audio seems okish now. Speaker quality seems to make a difference. If the speakers are bad, distance can make it ok: I can watch TV for some hours depending on the volume. Music sounds ok again. Sometimes reactive T kicks in tho.

Interesting, first a vampire repellent and now a t cure. Garlic is powerful stuff! I think, maybe, your friend has reactive t and the garlic was a perfect sized earplug to block sound XD

@RunningMan No, they have not offered me those, but may ask them on the next visit if there is a possibility. Am also afraid of aggravating my T as it is very reactive. Have you tried TRT?

I have experienced the same things yall are and still do to a extremely bad state now. Please don't listen to anyone's advice to keep exposing to sound to make it better. Michael Ls advice saying there is no such thing as reactive T & noxacusis got me fuked when I still had a liveable level.

I know 100% where you are coming from @ErikaS - and this is "working in progress", even after 4-5 yrs with reactive t. The fear response still kick in, and it stresses me out too from time to time. But not to an extent where it dictate my life. You got this - one step at a time.

Since my onset of T I've had weakness in the upper part of my thighs. It feels like pins or needles and my reflexes become over reactive. It has settled for the most part but if I have a flare up it will come back. It may be a nervous system issue.

Only have my EEG with reactive T, no EEG done before it :(

My H is still active tho I have seen some improvements and my reactive T seems tied to my H. If I have a setback with my H than my reactive T gets worse as well.

...worried about isn't the pain, it's more the reactiveness. I think exposing to sounds is working for H, but at the other hand it means the reactive T is going wild. So I would also like to go into complete silence and see what happens to the T. Obviously I can't do both but from what I've...

Apart from the reactive T which permits me from any artifical audio now, music sounds broken. Not distorted but it just lacks something. This broke me. The most nostalgic and important thing of my life gone. And it was my fault. I don't know how to forgive myself...

@Tryn2BHopeful You're right, (T is still reactive though...) i should be looking at the bright side, because lately i hate living.

As in plug with your fingers? My T tends to be like this, but it also tends to be reactive to broadband sounds. It used to be when I was in the sound proof booth for my hearing test my T was pretty quiet. I have honestly given up trying to figure it out.

If my T was not reactive/sound sensitive, I would have gotten maskers a long time ago and wear them when needed. However if your T worsens/exacerbates to sound at all, you have to be very careful with maskers.
