Let me clarify. My suicidal thoughts are not something that sprouted because of my tinnitus or hyperacusis. Most everyone here is focusing on my last question. Let me be clear, my tinnitus and hyperacusis doesn't effect my life like they use to. In fact, when I did have bad hyperacusis I wasn't...

Anxiety and depression are not foreign concepts to me. Most of my life since I was about the age of 10, I've had some sort of depression or anxiety with varying severity. Recently, it has gotten much worse. And I'm beginning to think I need to resort to medication to help. I get these moments...

Thing is ttts is not as annoying and hurtful as tinnitus. Try not to focus on ttts so much because it's harmless

Yeah it improved. My ttts all together doesn't happen much now. And no I got ringing and a little bit of what I assume is hissing.

Yeah it rarely happens now.

It's off and on. I'm alive and well so..

Dear lord this page is old. Lol

I wasn't sure while reading this if it was Hyperacusis. Then I read "distortion" than it became clear. Yes this is hyperacusis. Fortunately it seems mild for you. I'd suggest finding what exactly caused it or a period in which it began. For me it was loud noise exposure. And my Hyperacusis came...

To be honest they probably just hear a tiny ring. A lot of the people I've talked to about hyperacusis and tinnitus to have a minor form of tinnitus or a very mild hyperacusis. And they never knew these issues hyperacusis (mild hearing sensitivity), and tinnitus (very mild low ringing) are not...

I guess what I was trying to say here is that "Reality doesn't sell".

I'm pretty sure a lot of stars have Tinnitus and hearing loss. Think about it this way, everyone (a lot of people) wants to be a star. Imagine having the whole star dome, singing extravaganza ruined if celebrities started coming out with their tinnitus and hearing loss. I garentee its a common...

I see people everywhere I go turning the volume on their headphones on high and playing loud music in their car. I wish they knew...

It is very possible for Hyperacusis to return. I have heard of plenty of relapses and have had major setbacks myself. However, My Hyperacusis behaves differently than most. I can get better from my spikes in the matter of hours to days and at latest a week or two. But everyone is different. I...

That's so strange. Because a phone shouldn't get louder than maybe 90db. And I doubt you had it loud. But never the less it caused you problems. And that cold mat have something to do with it. I can't remember who but someone mentioned a while back how they has a cold and for some reason their H...

Have musician earplugs on hand and explain to them they should lower their voice. I don't think it's unreasonable to tell someone to lower their voice. It may seem strange to them but as long as they're understanding people and adults they should be fine to comply.

@Red :cry: what happened? I'm sorry to hear about your Hyperacusis getting worse. But is there anything in particular that caused it to get worse?

So I'm nearing the end of highschool and then I go off to College/University probably in the next year. I simply don't know what I want to do with my life. In lines with a career. Obviously most people don't but the problem is, I'm not particularly passionate about anything. Fine with anything...

I myself have not fully recovered. However I can tolerate almost everything. Even anything over 80-85 db but I get a delayed spike. But that's unrelated. I've never fully gotten better which is a shame. But what's important to me is that I've gotten my life back.

Happens to me all the time. I got a spike right now due to a delayed reaction. But my delays range from a day, to a week. Strange? I know. So I'm back in school and I gotta take the city bus. And I'm cocky self was like "HA! I don't need to wear earplugs near a busy highway." And here I am...

TRT is for people who have severe anxiety towards their tinnitus and need a little mmmph to get use to it. And it's good for sound enrichment with hyperacusis. However, I never needed it.

My Tinnitus is better and hyperacusis is befter. I still have it though. It's been a year since I got it.

It depends for everyone. So my recovery time is irrelevant.

Also I doubt an AC system could be causing. But I want to highlight that I am not you. Therefore what my tolerance level to sound is, is different to yours. But ask yourself this, maybe AC is bothering your Hyperacusis or is it anxiety and fear of having noise induced sensitivity? Possibly both...

Tbh you would rather want stabbing pain instead of lingering pain. My theory is stabbing pain and loudness is due to due to chemical inbalances within either the auditory nerve or central auditory cortex. But lingering pain is thought by many to be auditory nerve damage. But don't take my word...

I just don't even bother with my hearing loss anymore. I just don't care about it. My Tinnitus is relatively the same but it's arguably hyperacusis induced. Funny enough, at the highschool I now attend I'm in a room of relative silence for 5 hrs. I hear my Tinnitus the entire time. And it has 0...

To answer the question in the title. It depends. Everyone is different. Some poeple have instant pain, some people have constant pain. Some people don't have pain but instead they have loudness hyperacusis. Then there is people like myself who have had both instant pain and loudness hyperacusis...

Nude Mack's earplugs if you need 32db protection. Or just a general musician earplugs if you can handle most noises but just not loud ones.

For me my TTTS got better as my H did. And I thought everyone with TTTS felt the muscles in their ears moving when brushing their face. I guess not? Haha the more you know!

Life has been pretty good. Can't complain.

Almost anything. My Hyperacusis is better to the point even dishes don't bother me 90% of the time. Speaking of dishes, I was talking to my mom about my Hyperacusis and I said "I haven't even noticed it at all this past week.". So I went to the silverware and started banging them together. I...

Yes they do. Hyperacusis is believed to be in the brain or the auditory nerve. Or both! (Depends on who you ask and if its loudness or pain Hyperacusis.). TTTS is related to the facial nerve. The muscle in the middle ear are connected to the facial nerve. A quick Google search will tell you...

Glad to hear you are feeling better. When you take away all the emotional distress from these issues they become much easier to live with. Of course don't forget to be knowledgeable about certain triggers to tinnitus or any other health concerns. However, when all the anxiety and depression...

Oh I'm not protecting less and less. I'm saying I am not going to go around worried about every little thing like a car horn going off while I'm outside. What I'm trying to say is, I'm not going to allow myself to be worried over everything and ruin my life due to stress and anxiety over sound...

So yesterday I was at Walmart with my boyfriend getting groceries and food for our date. That particular Walmart was doing fire alarm tests at the time. It was god awful loud, it hurt a lot. But, it really wasn't that bad. Just put my earplugs on and everything was alright. This tells me that I...

There are no allotments near me. I live in the heart of the city. I could grow plants vertically or do vermiculture but the problem is vermiculture at my own home instead of my high school is that, I don't own a shade house. Florida is incredibly hot year round. I'd need to build something for...

I have too. I was a part of a Future Farmers of America (FFA) when in highschool and I loved it. Not only that my grandparents have livestock and a huge farm. I love the life. It's hard but I love it. And I've always wanted to try bee keeping. But alas, now I live in the city and I can't do...

I've never heard of headaches but I do know of people who experience lingering pain. Wait a while and see if it still continues. Its likely something that will pass.

I know what you mean. I don't necessarily get pain anymore. But I still get discomfort. I think mines just loudness hyperacusis now and even then it's mild.

That's why you had a spike. Stop doing that. If sound on things you can control is discomforting to you then lower the volume to a comforting level. Over protection makes hyperacusis worse it. In short, it starved the auditory system of sound. Therefore your auditory system ramps up everything...

What so you mean by not getting proper sound? @Dij111

You won't know if you have neuroma unless you have an MRI. It's not simply something one can diagnose on their own. Cancer is likely the least thing to cause hyperacusis. And even then brain tumors generally, the symptoms come up periodically and slowly progress for months. Not weeks or days...
