Hi, all. So, I developed moderate-to-severe hyperacusis back in the beginning of May last year due to an ear-flushing gone wrong. The GP who flushed out my ears (due to earwax impaction) was so rough that she damaged my inner ear hairs, causing an intense hearing sensitivity. (My full story...

So, since there's apparently no way to control how much ear wax one builds (by that, I mean; no way to prevent earwax impaction/buildup), does that mean I'll now be stuck in the cycle of "earwax impaction --> go to get it flushed out --> major (most likely permanent) increase in hyperacusis and...

Hi, all. I just gotta know, how do you live with hyperacusis? I'm 19 (turning 20 in a couple weeks), living in NSW, Australia, currently studying an IT Diploma online at home. I'm looking at job ads online every single day as I just wanna get out there and start working again, but basically...

Hi, all. I'm debating whether or not I should get an MRI. I've read online and heard (from mum) that they can be really, really loud. Considering I've only just started to feel like I might be building a sound tolerance again and tinnitus is (still pretty bad, but) at a lower level... My ENT...

Hi, all, my family is booking a trip to a different state and are planning on travelling by air as that's the easiest way. The flight is going to be around 2-2.5 hours, from Sydney, Australia to Adelaide, Australia. I haven't flown since an ear-syringing I experienced just two months ago that...

Would you mind linking the product you use or providing the name and picture? Thanks.

Hi, just wondering if you guys know of any earplugs that let you have a conversation without the occlusion effect (if that's possible), as I have mild hyperacusis. I've had it for, around two months and I believe I'm seeing progress. I used to not be able to tolerate running water from a tap...

Hi, I've been experiencing this thing where my hearing spontaneously stops, then I hear a high-pitched, intensified, moderately loud ring, then my hearing fades back in as the ringing tone fades away. I'm not quite sure how to describe it better than that. It occurs in both ears (not both at the...

Hi, all, ever since turning 18, my ears have been producing too much earwax and it's become impacted twice so far. Seems like an annual thing. According to my GP, the reason for this is because I have steep/narrow ear canals or something. First time the earwax got impacted was in 2018 and I...

Hi, thanks for your reply. Well, I first got constant tinnitus after flying (Australia to UK) in December of 2017. I remember hearing it not go away the first night we arrived in the UK. Since then, it stayed at that very low, unobtrusive volume, where I could only lightly hear it when I'd try...

Hi, thanks for your reply. Funnily enough, I have almost no trouble sleeping throughout the day. Possibly because I'm home alone, even though my family isn't loud. I dunno. Trying to sleep at night for the last week-and-a-half has been a challenge. I think that has mostly to do with the anxiety...

Hi all, I feel like my tinnitus is getting worse the more time goes by. Just last week, I woke up on Monday with a new ringing sound in my left ear, then the next day woke up with another new ringing sound/tone in my right ear and woke up today to yet another new ringing sound/tone in my left...

Can hyperacusis make tinnitus worse? Also, I have fullness in my right ear but not in my left, and my left ear twitches/makes faint popping noises at times. When I move my jaw in a certain way, it sounds like there's sand or something moving in my right ear and when I swallow, only my right...

Hi, all, I'm 19 years old and I've had tinnitus for just under a year-and-a-half. I distinctly remember hearing it (at that rate) in December of 2017. Warning: This is a long one... My family and I flew from Sydney, Australia (which is where I live) to the UK to see family. The flights were...
