    @LostTruck ya, I have, but they would usually only last a minute or so. Not sure if it’s recalibration or blood flow or just the brain hiccuping or something. I think they’re neutral, tbh. Not good or bad. Just part of some ppl’s t.

    @LostTruck ya it sounds like you have both. A lot of ppl say too much protection doesn’t worsen. But some swear it does. It’s very individual. Maybe it’s worsening ur loudness h but not the pain h. Some say that

    @LostTruck - I’m sorry u have gone through all that. If you have pain to noise, I would protect from those sounds, even if ur inside. If ur inside and feel no pain, ur probably ok not to protect, as long as your t isn't worsening.

    Thankfully, my girlfriend would never think like that or say those things because she has hyperacusis, too. We’ve been together for about 6 months now.

    @LostTruck, I haven’t improved in 19 months and keep worsening, except sometimes my t is a little better. The best thing you can do is avoid sound therapy and meds, imo, for now. Give it a year or 2 before trying anything. Had I not tried stuff, I think I’d still be mild or moderate.

    This is why people have trouble coping with a disease that’s exceedingly torturous. This image captures it beautifully. @Travis Henry shared it with me. No amount of mental gymnastics could help the dude in the picture. Well, the same is true for people like us — those facing torture without...

    Nowadays, for people like me, at least, I’ve come to realize that it doesn’t matter who the President of the United States is. There are systematic flaws that go well beyond his or her control. For example, I know people who were denied disability rights even after several attempts. And these...

    Be careful not to make your tinnitus and hyperacusis worse. They can get so bad that life becomes impossible, no exaggeration; where you’re literally trapped in a paradox; where even brushing your teeth or taking a bath worsens you, and every little sound becomes kryptonite to your ears; where...

    Earplugs Making Hyperacusis Worse?

    Rob and Michael fundamentally disagree on headphone use. Rob says they’re okay and that he even uses them routinely. Michael is against them in all ways, shapes, and forms. I agree with Michael on that one. But just wanted to point this out, as some people have speculated before that Michael is...

    How Rare Is Severe Hyperacusis?

    Severe hyperacusis is more rare than the death penalty, yet it’s worse. It leaves you alive to bear witness to the devastation of its wrath, and nothing can come between you and it, except pain and sorrow, and memories of a bygone time that’s nowhere to be found. It’s horrific. It robs you of...

    Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Worsened After Taking Turmeric for Back Pain

    Nope. No vaccine for me. I was afraid to get it because I saw reports on here where people said it worsened their tinnitus and/or hyperacusis. So I steered clear. Plus, I worked from home, so I didn’t really need to get it. Anyway, you wouldn’t be the first to wonder why turmeric got me so...

    How Rare Is Severe Hyperacusis?

    Maybe. But I had an extended audiogram that went up to 20,000 Hz, covering all frequencies, and no hearing loss was detected at all, yet I have catastrophic noxacusis and severe tinnitus. I know those tests are flawed, though.

    How Rare Is Severe Hyperacusis?

    With hyperacusis and its subsets, what makes it even worse is knowing that only a few people for every million get it severe, and only 10 or 20 for every million get it at all. It makes you realize that it’s not profitable for the world to care about. Like I’ve said before, there’s a greater...

    Suicidal

    I tell people how bad hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus can be, but they still don’t buy it — those who don’t have them, I mean. Ignorance is privilege, but when they’re bad-bad, these conditions don’t care who you are or what you’re about. They can make people and the world itself kryptonite...

    How Rare Is Severe Hyperacusis?

    Hyperacusis itself is very rare. While studies seem to indicate that only 1 in 50,000 people get it, the numbers could be higher than that, but the cases might be mild and that might explain why they’re not getting more attention. Severe hyperacusis is extremely rare; infinitesimally rare...

    One Rock Festival Changed My Life by Giving Me Tinnitus

    So, back in 2021, I had terrible sciatica pain and read on here that turmeric was safe, and used by hyperacusis and tinnitus people okay. But it made my hyperacusis go from super mild to high moderate after 6 days of use at a normal daily dosage. Then, when I had a bad, infected ulcer on my leg...

    One Rock Festival Changed My Life by Giving Me Tinnitus

    I think it’s important for people to differentiate between tinnitus and hyperacusis, and what’s known as reactive tinnitus, a subset of these conditions. If someone has the latter two, they’re potentially playing with fire when they engage in loud events, even with protection. Someone with...

    Sorry, @Michael Leigh. No offense intended. I know tinnitus has been a struggle in your life and I’m sorry you’ve had to endure that.

    Suicidal

    There’s a difference between severe tinnitus and catastrophic tinnitus. If someone’s able to engage in life and venture to the outside world—without consequence—then their tinnitus isn’t catastrophic. Sure, it might be severe, but it’s not reducing their life to ashes. Travis Henry has...

    Agreed! Their chemistry was so good. Seemed real, just like Ashton and Mila. You’re right. Maybe Leo and Kate will wind up together someday. Leo usually dates young women in their 20s nowadays, tho. I like Mariah, too. She’s the Queen of Christmas songs.
