Yes it is hard to live a normal life. Can you go to work with reactive T? where do you live by the way?

@billie48 Also, were you working a job while dealing with the severe reactive T and H? Right now, I'm not working. I miss doing it but I worry about possibly making the T and H worse by going back to work.

@gameover T definitely stops one's life in an instant and is a huge hardship and cross to bear, however to say "T ruined him or us", that takes responsibility off of him and what he chose to do and how HE ruined US. I could not control the ear infection that I got and how it went into my inner...

I don't know if I have H or reactive T. Last time I went I swore they intentionally held the shaver next to my ear! I wanted to smack them with it.

@in_LA This is an interesting topic not discussed much on TT, correlated to vestibular hyperacusis vs. cochlear hyperacusis. These get more confused w/ sound sensivity and reactive T.

I did try it a couple times early on in the reactive T journey, but a day or two after I started it, it sped up the sounds of my T and sounded like it was making things more hyper if that makes sense. So after a couple days of that I stopped. My origin of T was ultra high frequency SSHL from ear...

Luckily both dysacusis and reactive (competing) T have gone. I still have loudness H, discomfort in ears, a bit of fullness and louder T. I have found that improvements in H lead to massive improvements in T for me (maybe not actually in volume but definitely in habituation) so I'm hoping that...

Ugh sorry to hear @Cmspgran .. I have mutli sound reactive tinnitus, T is very sensitive to sound and has been to certain meds and even supplements so I am worried about the Doxy. My ENT made me get an MRI literally two weeks after tinnitus onset. Wish I never done that.

For me going to loud places means more messed up hearing despite of earplugs: muffled hearing, everything sounds quieter like my hearing is worse for even weeks, reactive T reacts, hyperacusis symptoms get somewhat worse for a moment etc.

@KoolKat When my tinnitus was stable I could watch them no problem, even with the noise, but with this hyperacusis & reactive t - no chance. Why does digital noise have to be such a trigger?!

@SarahMLFlemmer - sorry as always for the rant. People don’t give a shit to keep it down a little. My family is upset. I feel sorry for them too but what can I do. This condition is invisible. Anyon who is non reactive - constant steady T no H no N they will be okay. Locking up in a room is a no...

It hurts to stand, I feel pain across all my back. I hate to speak because it makes my face and ears hurt. I hate that I can barely do basic things I never thought would bring me pain. Standing, speaking, eating. The only positive is that my T is better (but still reactive) even though my ears...

...use it if I suspect inflammation. Because that’s really the only point of taking it. I’ve had hearing loss in the past and it’s really helped. Right now I’m on it because I’ve been sick and I have a massive massive spike going on right now with reactive T. I think the worst spike I’ve ever had.

@Tryn2BHopeful mine seems to differ by the day, sometimes by the hour! There's a particular cricket sound that nearly masks mine, how long has your T been reactive and have you seen any improvement or when you say desensitized you mean you just tolerate it better? I wish you knew too @Juliane :(

@Amv was your high pitch reactive? Do you know what caused you T to come on?

@in_LA Mr. T hates fans, it tends to make him louder and static like. Tends to break up and be wonky. I think its part of it being reactive. I haven't found anything to "mask" the sound short of cicada sounds.

@Tryn2BHopeful I wouldn't be on this site nearly as much if my T wasn't reactive. It is what keeps me from living my life normally. I have a Zoom interview with the head Neurologist from NeuroCytonix this coming Tuesday. Their technology combines radio frequency within a magnetic field that...

@hopefuldede you describe your T changes how I tend to experience mine. With movement, after a walk,constant sound, increased heart rate, etc it becomes this awful high hiss that is reactive. As this calms down in quiet, the hiss is still there but then my other 3-4 crazy chaotic sounds come...

He likely has no clue about 3rd mobile window disorders, autophony etc. known to increase T., H. and even reactive disequilibrium from loud sound too...involuntary, often not even need to be loud.

@Cmspgran Its been reactive since a week after onset, so 4 months. Im gonna say I tolerate it better, but it also seems slightly better. Initially even the sound of my voice would spike my T. Thats not the case anymore. Yes mine can vary all day long as well, its a bear to deal with sometimes.

@Strawberryblonde remind me, do you have reactive T at all, or is it H loudness sensitivity?

My psychologist specialized in hearing issues just adviced to stop avoidance behaviour and there is no reason to avoid loud places if I use hearing protection. This maybe works best for people who don't have reactive T that doesn't get louder after loud noise

Is it necessary to do? Is your tinnitus reactive? I was only after I worsened through microsuction that I investigated a lot and read many times that it isnt always necessary to remove the wax if there isn't an immediate reason to. Not trying to scare you further, as mang with t get it done, but...

@Strawberryblonde it might not go away but i hope it atleast lowers your T or makes it less reactive that would be a huge win.

I find that rooms; I think due to the sharp geometric edges, reflect sound waves in a very unnatural manner which can aggrevate my reactive T more than being outside where all the acoustic reflections are from natural curves. Do loudspeakers (TV, music, phone) affect your T?

Sorry it didn’t work out @Buddy123 , did/does your T present similar to how Darren’s did? @Strawberryblonde first going to see if amplification of any frequency area and/or not touchin/slight turning down of any area does anything. Idk if I can go straight to masking with my reactive T.

@Moni97 Specifically about the very reactive T and H. Mine also seemed to react to almost every sound, including internal sounds like chewing, swallowing, etc. It was so sensitive even something like putting clothes on and walking seemed to spike it too.

Were you using the white noise or something? I wouldn't give up on a masker or aids, definitely consider meeting with an audiologist that could fit you for the best ones and maybe provide a sound that mixes well with your T. Again, only if your T is not reactive. :)

@Jackson Brady this is the guide my friend it's the closest thing I've found to a guide for reactive T

@SharonBell - if my T was not so reactive. If my ear did not hurt every time a fork dropped on a plate I believe I would be okay. I think the only road out for me is to just go out and live. Every time I do that I get a lot worse. I need to go and live a more quite life and my life with big...

...only responding now! I typed a response a few days ago but guess I never hit post :) Thank you for your sweet post. I have read about Sam's success with that and was so happy for her! I was actually on LDN for quite some during fertility treatments way before reactive T came and ruined my...

...to hear you have appointments coming up I hope they bring relief! My T started 7 months ago it became reactive after I tried suctioning wax out. I developed 4-5 different tones afterwards that seemed to be reactive to sound eventually I also got TTTS doors closing would startle me and my ears...

My T is so sensitive/reactive to sound so it’s quite easy to identify, but if you’re saying it only seems to get aggravated by fan on high and not other kinds of sound, that could give you flexibility to find something to help mask it.

This is exactly me, but one-side ear with pulsatile reverberations. :( It's reactive to internal body sounds: vascular, voice, and what seems muscular spasms. In certain known disorders, reactive T/H occurs not only by external sounds, but by also from sounds within. Is this same for you?

@KoolKat Man, you are lucky you don’t have H or reactive T anymore. Without these 2 I would live something close to normal life :/ May I ask you what caused your T?
