I hope yo stopped listening with headphones or earbuds. These things are really dangerous and destry the ear. We don't need earphones to listen to music.

I would say that you have a good behavior. Protect yourself is the best thing. I should have protected myself at the beginning. I would say 75 db, protect your hearing from obvious loud sounds. I would never advise someone with T to attend a concert again or going to gigs even with...

Hi guys, @quietatnight @Bill Bauer Thanks a lot for the support, I really appreciate it as I really was freaking out these last days. I spoke to my psychologist (I see her every week) and she has a bit reassured me saying that she experienced extreme fatigue and her ears were ringing (it as a...

That what I was thinking at the beginning.

I'm paranoid too, more than paranoïd lol, though sometimes I am able to relax. K, I see spikes can last more than a week.

True. F***ing T and F***** H.

Anyone here who can relate to this? Honestly I'm just freaking out.

So has your T settled down? I'm so f***ed up, yesterady was good but today here we go again. I have some random spikes from time to time like this but when I have no triggered noise, I'm not fraking out. But the slammed door I don't know. Thank God it wasn't just next to me and was in my room...

I was at home in my room yesterday changing my foam earplugs (I wear them almost all the day cause I have severe H) with the wood door of my room closed and the door of my brother's room next to mine (around 4,5 m) slammed. I was surprised by the noise but it didn't hurt me. So I stayed in my...

Aaaawww so sad to learn it :cry: He was such a strong guy and his joyful mood was precious to the forum. May he rest in peace. Do you know exactly from what, was he ill?

This some kind of acoustic trauma. You're H&T are noise induced. And so was mine.

Tmj. Regular symptom of it. Or trigeminal nerve.

Aaaaaaaaaaaw thank you @Ed209 for your nice words and for also pushing me to try. Anxiety and sadness came back in full force the previous days, I'm craving for spending the whole day outside. I'm so traumatized by all what happened and especially, the physical pain it brought, that even at...

I agree with you @Bobby B. Protection is the best to do whwn you have some moderate til severe hyperacusis. The less tolerance you have, the more you have to protect yourselves.

Thank you Mickael for your warm words, gave me some comfort. Indeed, it does take you in very dark places.

Hi Nathalie, From what you're saying, your symptoms seem to be hyperacusis. I would advise you, to protect your ears from loud sounds, and screaming in the ears. You ears are still freshly traumatized, you have to let them some time to recover. I would also advise you to talk on speaker when...

Exactly... Try on raw turmeric and ginger for the pain. You can find them at some asian groceries or at some shops selling organic foods. I took some pregabaline for physical pain. Didn't do that much. Keep us posted please.

Hi Joseph, Indeed, at the onset, I think some lack of vitamins and some depression/anxiety brings up T more than with someone with a good state of mind and in perfect shape. Loud sounds are the trigger. But let's keep in mind that exposure to lound sounds lead very often to some serious damages.

Peltor are the best. 33 or 37 dbs. To do good with muffs. Don't stand next to speakers. Be away. Be careful.

For once, I agree with you. Compromising is possible. :) And you said it, we give people a chance. Aren't we just so sweet people willing to help others? That's how mankind should be, fully serving and loving others. We're going to make history.

I like the way you explain things Mickael in such an elegant and effective way. :) Indeed until T is not so severe, people don't really measure the upcoming dangers. And you're right by advising people, we need people like you. But I think we have to keep up. I know around me a lot of people...

It should be. Awareness must be made through us: the sufferers. With your words, it seems you on the side of the ENT, like this one who told me: go ahead, live your life, you're gonna be ok. Result: permanent tinnitus with H on top of that. I wish I could do some awareness, but I can't due to...

I understand your point of view. But we live in a noisy world, I'm sorry. Maybe if I hadn't T or H, I wouldn't think the same. But this leads to a lack of awareness that bring people in such dark places. I think it's not really difficult. It's just a real way to live. Thanks Mickael for your...

@Ed209 I know it's not easy to stop at once. I was in that case. But the choice was clear: my ears or having fun and take a risk to ruin completely my life. I didn't mention weddings as something to avoid, I even did mention family gatherings. Your advice are right in a certain way : use good...

Hi Roseanna, I find you're doing very well with protections! You're giving a chance to your ears to have some rest and natural healing. Because you have hyperacusis, it's important to protect from sudden noise or lound sounds. Don't expose your ears to sounds you know they hurt them. Massage...

@Michael Leigh I wanted to write a post like this, and you made it. That's great. People HAVE TO STOP thinking about going to loud bars, loud venues, concerts, clubs, fireworks... I still don't get it why people keep on doing these kind of things??? You can have T and have a totally pleasant...

Hi Venusa, Was loud music during this work out? Or were wearing some earbuds with some loud music?

Hi, this is a symptom of hyperacusis. It means you have to avoid loud sounds, and protect them whenever you face them. Some rest (at home, walking in the nature, some massages...) in a quiet environment to rest your ears. Do not neglect them and avoid bars, headphones, clubs, loud music...

Hi Ryand, I would like to know where have you got this information? I thought lsepping on the back was not good. Thanks for your answer.

Good, take care of your hearing by protecting it. Reactive T, is in general caused by H.

Lol, me too since my onset. I'm sorry to hear that we are on the same boat. With 4 people, I have my muffs, but I need to be with people otherwise it is just unberable. I am maybe questionning too much, and I'm sorry for that too, I just need to talk to someone as I'm not feeling good.

Oh yes, I do understand, but I think voices are not dangerous except if people are screaming at you. I prefer spend 3 hours talking with a real person than on the phone, I will be less concerned. Everything "natural" is not dangerous. But anything involving waves, elecronic devices ar not good...

Sorry Foncky : do you really think it's not dangerous? I read one time that a guy has spent like 4-5 hours speaking during a 10 days or a month or so what, and he had a spike and his H has worsened. I just remember that he was talking with the phone directly on his ear, which I don't make, I...

Hi SilverSpiral, You too has H & T? Nope I don't have any pets, I wish I have a cat, but my parents are against it. I don't play games, but maybe I shall find sthg like chest or sthg like that. My thing is to go to a forum nothing related to T or H, and having conversations with "normal...

Thanks. It's not really the phone call, as it's not the first time I've done it. But the time I spent. It helps me to keep alive indeed, as I feel like I'm dead inside.

Anyone with the same experience? Please I'm not feeling good, have dark ideas.

It will surely subside, don't think about it, try to relax (hyperacusis increases with anxiety), But my last words: be careful and don't expose yourself to loud venues, stay in your tolerance zone (Don't exceed 75 db, otherwise wear earplugs). 80 db is already harmful for the ears. 120 is...

Thanks a lot for your answer. The thing with H, is that it blocks you from everything you love. T too, I know. But at least, you can go out and have some distractions. I try to get over my pain, but everytime I make some efforts, the pain comes with a vengeance. I agree with you, one of my...

Hi Rust, It is a sign that your ear need a real rest. It sounds like hyperacusis,and I higly recommend you to avoid any loud venue from now on. It is still "light" and fresh but be careful hyperacusis can be vicious. I don't want to frighten you just to warn you that your ears are fragile...

Hi tinnitus fellows, I have T since a year now. It was a real nightmare in the beginning and along this journey. I was hoping to write a success story, it seems like I'm much a loser. I don't know what is wrong with me. T was first in the right ear (fluctuates and has different sounds). Then...
