Sorry for the worsening, but it may just be a spike for a few days. Try not to worry. Really, I think it will go away.
I'm forever lost on whether a car ride is better with or without earplugs. I use basic foam earplugs, and it's pretty rough. I hear every bump and groove in the road because...
This doesn’t seem to be severe pain hyperacusis, but rather loudness hyperacusis with possibly reactive tinnitus. Ear burning, pressure/fullness, and TTTS (Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome) are not uncommon with this condition.
Even so, regardless of what you call it, this is a traumatic...
I hope you find some relief soon, I have been suffering from burning nerve pain myself for a couple of weeks, they don't really seem to find what's causing it, been prescribed Trazodone+amitriptylin, it helps but now my tinnitus is spiking, nerve issues can take a while but things will improve .
...severe side effects. The day after taking the SSRI, when I woke up, the volume of my tinnitus had tripled. My right ear felt like it was burning, with pain radiating down to my jaw and neck at the slightest noise. The tinnitus became unbearably loud, so I immediately stopped the medication...
I recently received this invite from the FDA to attend the following:
Attending will unlikely uncover information about the burning question around Dr. Shore's submission, but it might be helpful.
...it may entirely be a middle ear issue with trigeminal nerve involvement, since a lot of people with TTS (Tensor Tympani Syndrome) report burning, stabbing, & facial symptoms. And both burning & stabbing sensations can occur with trigeminal nerve. Myriam Westcott even advises treating those...
...has given me side effects, and it’s incredibly frustrating!
NAC - short of breath and terrible hangover feeling.
Turmeric - fever and skin burning sensation all over
NAD - burning & tingling face, neck, arms
Fish oil - burning & tingling face, neck, arms
ALA - burning & tingling face, neck...
A new research paper on hyperacusis by Dr. Kelly Jahn of the University of Texas at Dallas:
Clinical phenotype and management of sound-induced pain: Insights from adults with pain hyperacusis
Here is the abstract; the full paper is at the link.
You answered your own question. I'm in your category.
Instant pain, no burning or facial pain = sensitized type II afferent nerve fibers in cochlea.
Delayed, burning an facial pain = MEM problem, probably trigeminal nerve involvement.
I guess one could have both. Ouch!!!
Fuck the medical...
...this.
I don't have noxacusis but I think I'm on the path to it.
Do you experience tingling sensations on your skull or face, and have burning ears almost constantly?
My tinnitus and hyperacusis have worsened a few months ago and my tinnitus is more reactive to everyday sounds. My own...
...my GP prescribed me Felodipine, but I never tried it. So, I took 5 mg of Felodipine this morning. I don't think I've ever had such a bad day. Burning tinnitus and also hyperacusis is much worse, and I had a really terrible headache all day. I took a couple of Ibuprofen and Tramadol, but...
Hi thanks for posting this - I am new and this is the worst thing I have ever had to deal with. At present I have quite a new symptom fleeting burning sensations in only one ear. Happens a few times per hour and lasts seconds. Is this familiar to you?
...comments / feedback I know you are going through a lot of tests - rightly so. This sounds real concerning. The pace of the NHS is terrible. I work for the NHS and I have private healthcare, as does my partner. Did you have any numbness, tingling, twitching, feeling of burning skin etc more...
...this because of safety or other reasons?
By noxacusis, you mean acute, stabbing pain in reaction to sounds, right? Do you also suffer from burning pain?
I have read that Carbamazepine blocks sodium channels.
Have you tried Ambroxol, another sodium channel blocker, and how do the effects...
...around 80 if I had to take a guess right now, they were probably below 40 or 50 in March.
Nothing really sounds too loud to me, but burning and at its worst really bad stabbing/face crushing pain was indescribable.
If I'm having a bad ear day, I might throw in my molded musician earplugs...
...Me, with severe tinnitus (catastrophic at times, but tends to recede still), moderate loudness hyperacusis and still very occasional warmth/burning sensation in my ears, I am contemplating giving up. You would probably tell me - and rightly so - you would be almost like in heaven if you were...
This is obviously very disheartening. I've seen people say 2026 is the average guess date. If that isn’t based on realism, then what are we looking at here? 2027/2028/2029.
It's crazy in comparison to Lenire, which I promised myself I would not try, but maybe it’s wise to rethink that for now...
Thank you so much for following up, and I look forward to hearing the summary! And I know it’s awful to have more questions asked when you write something intended to stop the questions. Still, the most optimistic estimations I’ve seen tend to be that the FDA approval will be by the end of this...
I also have this burning ears sensation, they also can become itchy.
My ENT suggested taking Alpha-lipoic acid, this reduces inflammation.
I remember him saying this was also prescribed for people that have a burning tongue.
It has been about a year since I had this burning sensation again, but...
...I'm seeing any improvements with ginger, however, I haven't been trying it every day at high amounts. I have noticed it really helps with my burning symptoms which I recently obtained.
I'm wondering if cutting out sugar, dairy, salt, and maybe caffeine might help? The same with incorporating...
I listen to lots of Reggae bands. My favourites are Burning Spear, Culture, Black Uhuru, Peter Tosh, Don Carlos, Bob Marley, Damian Marley, Ziggy Marley, Stephen Marley, Dennis Brown. I keep diggin' and finding more artists.
That's very strange, Marin. I'm obviously not a doctor but fact so many supplements are causing that reaction would tell me that the problem is not with the supplements but that something very peculiar is happening in your body. I can imagine this must all be very stressful for you too. Have you...
...So, what brings me back to the depths of disparity now? My hyperacusis has returned, my tinnitus is very reactive again, and I’m experiencing burning. There are a few potential triggers for this; I’ve had a lot of chainsawing around my home for the last week, but inside my house, it was only...
I have had pretty severe burning noxacusis that has lasted for weeks and even months at a time. Currently I’d say I’m 80% recovered. The main reasons for my recovery are time, avoiding harsh speakers at all costs, and consuming lots of ginger.
I still get noxacusis burning occasionally for a...
I've had the acid pain straight for the last seven months and swelling in my middle ear as my ear heals. I'm hoping it goes away by the end of the year since that would be 18 months from the date of my trauma. I'm tired of the pain and having to take Tramadol for it, among other drugs.
I sleep...
...It also seems that tinnitus has a longer history than we might think.
But yes, it’s probably noisier overall today than ever before.
Hmmm... Sorry to hear that. :(
Has it been like this for a long time? Do you experience any hyperacusis or sensations in your ears, like burning or discomfort?
...My hyperacusis was brutal, practically chaining me to my home. Every conversation with loved ones felt like an ordeal, triggering a painful burning sensation and a sense of fullness in my ears. It was a daily struggle, with each day feeling like a marathon, just trying to make it through...
...and tinnitus start immediately after the concert or was it a delayed onset? Did you ever experience any Ear fullness?
How long was it before your ear burning went away?
Was the burning only from sound or independent of sound (burning in silence)?
Did your tinnitus ever spike from noise?
...the fact that it has been changing is a good sign. Ear fullness is just a sign that your ears got hurt - that ought to eventually go away.
Burning is a rare symptom. I can recall only two people posting here who mentioned burning. Basically their tinnitus got better after a year, but they...
...more common when you start to expose yourself to sounds again (like you do know), but it should be temporary. In my personal experience, the burning/warm sensation is more present when stressed and ears are fatigued.
Yes, it will take time to return to "normal". I'm in it for the long run...
...I found this article today on how certain herbs act on KCNQ potassium channels. Interestingly, ginger, which seems to help some of us with burning pain, is on the list. And we know from research that a potassium channel activator (retigabine) "suppresses the type II fibers' response to hair...
Same here. Mine is totally gone but I almost certainly still am susceptible to relapses but can handle more and more noise all the time.
Very slow improvements though. I still have tinnitus the same, but pain is gone for now, thankfully.
Yes, my noxacousis has an entire pain complex during events: TMJ, neck and shoulder pain, brain burning, migraine. I am exploring my forward head posture, jaw issues, inflammatory triggers, etc.

I have burning noxacusis 24/7 right now and after initially getting it I did recover from it after about 2 months. Then a setback sent me back to square one. I was recovering again and another setback sent me back to square one again. I pushed too hard it seems but I was definitely getting a lot...
