Glad to hear this man! Do you have tips for me to think about other things apart from the nerves/ears? Problem is that I can't stand any sounds from electronic devices because of hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus, so no music or YouTube etc :(

How are you doing now?

How are you doing today after the attack? I have very similar symptoms sadly.

Did you take any supplements / medicine?

I have exactly this after stopping taking Zopiclone, which was now 3 weeks ago.

Same here, 1 dose Zopiclone gave me new electric tinnitus :( How do you cope with your tinnitus and does it also get worse day by day?

I also have problems with super sonic toothbrushes. I got new neighbors and it seems they have their bath above my sleeping room and last night and this morning I heard very high frequencies that spiked my tinnitus dramatically :( I will ask them if I am right and they use a Sonicare toothbrush...

I have had these zaps every few days since I ended Zopiclone after only 1 night and since then the zaps and hyperacusis have been getting worse every day. I don't know if that's a rebound effect. I haven't slept well at all for 3-4 weeks so I never have a normal 6-7 hour sleep and this is a real...

How much do I need, a few beers or strong stuff? Hyperacusis and tinnitus getting worse every day, no matter what I do, it's the tolerance level in the brain.

Is there any acute alternative to benzos? My situation is difficult right now. On the weekend, during pandemic, you have nearly zero chance to get some doctor to talk to here. Anything I can buy for free?

How do you get benzos? Here in Germany no doctor wants to prescribe such strong stuff. Just antidepressants.

Thanks for your positive words. Sadly I took Zopiclone to sleep once and it seems to have ruined my hearing experience completely so the tinnitus and hyperacusis are now in ears AND the head. It was just half a pill of Zopiclone. Did it mess up my brain now completely?

*push* Hey guys, how are you now with your symptoms? I experienced exactly the same thing as the OP. 1 week after the COVID-19 symptoms I got left ear pain and then tinnitus and hyperacusis spiked a lot. Sadly I went to an ENT reflex test afterwards, which worsened it way more :( My clue with...

I am at an extreme point now with no hunger, can't sleep and the hyperacusis seems to be the worst ever including outside ear pain. Is there really a chance of cure without benzos and strong pills? And I read you should avoid earplugs or it can get worse.

Did you take any medicine to end the panic attacks? And how did you sleep? I feel very restless and nervous, even at night due to tinnitus and hyperacusis. I'm considering a hearing aid or psychological help but to get an appointment, you have to wait for months and this is really acute. Glad...

I am really nervous. The heart jumps all over the place and I have fear of the upcoming night when I still can't sleep. I also don't want to eat anything. I have no joy of hobbies like TV or gaming. I am just scared.

I got heavy panic attack yesterday during watching TV without warning. So I was nervous the whole night, strong heart beats and not tired enough to sleep. Is this caused by new tinnitus and hyperacusis or something else like COVID-19 after effects?

What does anxiety mean? Are these panic attacks out of nowhere or permanent situations?

Is your tinnitus better now? Did you do something special before it improved?

Did you take any drugs or supplements? Or just waited and tried to relax, let time do its thing? I had tests at the ENT 2 days ago. Frequency tests and pressure tests. The tinnitus exploded after that :( It was way harder than your examples with earplugs.

Thanks for your positive words. As I now know, it was an acoustic reflex test with volumes up to 90-100 dB and other users here posted bad after effects too... but how should have I know that as an amateur and trusting doctors. The tinnitus in left ear was bad before yes but now the right ear is...

Hm, I went to 2 doctors, there is no swollen or red area inside or special things to see which would be typical for bacterial infection. And after my last doctor visit I have the problems in both ears now :( They tested my hearing with a measuring pressure device for a few seconds, after that...

Hey Luisa :) What do you mean by badly treated cold? Wasn't it a normal cold for 1 week? Do you think it could have been COVID-19? I know this feeling of spasms for special sounds, I had that in my acute phase of hyperacusis for half a year in response to some sounds and tried to avoid them...

Hi, I'm Paul from Germany, 32 years old. I got tinnitus and hyperacusis in 2011 during a techno festival and had some very bad months after that. Some voices appeared like robots to me. But I recovered somehow with lots of vitamins, but no medicines. So I have had tinnitus since then but I...

Any positive news here from people whose tinnitus worsened after COVID-19 infection? Were you vaccinated like me?
