    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.

    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.

    My reactive T is a direct result from ear infection going into inner ear & causing nerve damage, inflammation, & SSHL. I never had loudness hyperacusis and there was no noise trauma or noise event at onset.

    I think my T is pretty bad yes. It is sound reactive most days. I can sometimes mask, I can sometimes not. depends on the day. They help by providing my brain that masking noise input, I believe it somehow turns down the volume of my T.

    Reactive T = It gets louder to other sounds and/or rides over other sounds instead of being able to be masked. H = When things sound too loud. It's a physical sensation like it almost hurts, but doesn't actually cause pain, unless you have NOX which causes stabbing/burning pain.

    ...Mine has gone down in volume since the incident but it changes tone now into more of a solid eeee instead of an hiss noise; it also brought back some hyperacusis and reactive T. I'm sorry you had a horrible day. Mines spiking today too. How are you holding up? I'm hoping your squeal went down.

    ...My favourite example is a guy I know that installs tiles for a living. Uses a tile grinder no hearing protection daily. T must be so different between people. Mine is extremely reactive to everything. My ears hurt after exposure to noise. He tells me his ears don’t hurt. Thats a big difference.
