my tolerance dropped again but this time it isn’t springing back. i think my sensitivity is affected by bad sleep and headaches and stuff.

ear fullness and pain

does anyone have any experience with Doc's proplugs? are they recommended?

omg the reality of being a teenager with hyperacusis is that people think i have autisum when i cover my ears? i just realised this 0.o

Ok. Another update. My hyperacusis has definitely gotten better, certain sounds which would bring me to the verge of tears don't bother me as much anymore. My tinnitus is still there but it's very mild, I'm honestly not bothered about it (apart from the fear that It will get worse). The most...

Its been 2 months and I still have ear pain :(

Is loudness H really that rare? I dont (want to) think so.

Thanks. Ever since March my life has just been horrific. I'm going to try my hardest to sleep well and not stress.

Heartbeat in my right ear now. Yay!

That last part lmao. I wish I'd been less hysterical and instantly deciding to protect my ears from every little sound at the beginning. Thankfully, I haven't really made things worse apart from some ear pain. And the part about setbacks seems to ring true considering that I have been exposed to...

I don't have pain hyperacusis. It's loudness hyperacusis.

IDK how many weeks at this point but I have all the same symptoms plus increased BFEP (blue field entoptic phenomenon) and two bouts of reactive tinnitus. I'm finding it hard to avoid all loud sounds because it is just impossible for me unless I wore hearing protection 24/7. I know that...

"The human body is amazing!" no it isnt.

are spikes from holding in a sneeze permenant? im so dumb

ok i just now realised that it was 3 hours of the new batman in a cinema which messed up my ears and not the TV lol.

ok no more depression posts i promise

Ugh, my brother just slammed the door and now my right ear feels full.

How common is VSS for tinnitus sufferers?

Yes, I've become very anxious over this but I'm finding ways to manage. Thank you for your reply. Did your tinnitus completely go away? I honestly dont mind having very mild T but I also dont want to be reminded of my mistakes everytime I enter a quiet room lol.

I know that wearing ear protection at homr is bad, but what if some noises make me uncomfortable/hurt such as flushing the toilet?

About that past point, does this mean that exposing yourself to loud noise in the first 2 weeks after onset will definitely mean I will develop a chronic condition? Is hyperacusis always chronic? I'm 3 weeks into this which means I'm nearing the end of the acute stage, I assume. If I don't...

Can anyone link me some good earplugs that allow me to talk to other people?

Counting my blessings: my T is mild, I can do pretty much everything as normal if I wear ear plugs, my pain is reducing and I can sleep!

I am in a very similar situation to you, same high frequency/mild tinnitus, noise sensitivity and time frame. There are much more experienced (and older) members on this forum and I am certain that they would all say that ear protection (such as foam earplugs) is a must when doing anything even...

So why does it fade over time/disappear for some people (who had tinnitus from noise damage)? I'm just curious :)

Does tinnitus caused by noise exposure always mean that those hair cells have died off?

3 weeks in and no improvements

(Almost) 3 weeks in: Tinnitus has slightly increased in volume although it's still mild and doesn't really affect my sleep. Also, when I wake up it's kind of quiet, is this a good sign? Yes, I'm grasping at straws here lol. I'm not sure if my hyperacusis has improved or if I am just handling it...

Ughhh spoke to soon, I think my tinnitus has gotten louder.

Ah, okay. Do you get ear infections from your use of earplugs? Are there any not so obvious tips on how to avoid ear infections? Also, what does (mild) tinnitus in one ear mean? This is my current experience with tinnitus, it's only in my 'bad' ear :/ Thanks for your replies, they've been...

School with earplugs actually was not that bad AND I had to take the loud bus twice :)

In that case, I think I get a lot of occlusion from foam ear plugs... Maybe I'm not inserting them properly. Also, I have constant ear fullness, I thought that was the case with all of us. Guess not.

What do you mean by occlusion? Is this when things like eating food sound louder when covering your ears? And is this harmful? I don't experience pain when hearing sounds but perhaps my facial pain is a form of delayed pain? Anyways, I haven't experienced much of that for the past 2 days which...

Just a Q, is hyperacusis always chronic?
