Hey all! Back in February of this year I tried going on Zoloft 50 mg for anxiety and OCD. I developed hyperacusis after only two days. I stopped on the 3rd day, but have been dealing with hyperacusis ever since. It has gotten a lot better so I decided to try it again! Lol. Welp! Again, day...

I still haven't picked up my prescription yet. Still on the fence with this.

Totally!

This stuff can also give you permanent post-SSRI sexual dysfunction from what I've been reading up on. Yikes! My doctor just prescribed me 50 mg to try for my hyperacusis. I haven't picked it up yet from the pharmacy.

Miss going to the movies!

Had two sets back this week. Did not think that dropping your shoes in the hallway woud have any effect. Normal human actions, right? lol.

I had a minor setback this week. Out of nowhere, my co-worker decided to fire off one of those confetti cannons about 8 feet from my bad ear. Talk about disappointment/freak accident. Earplugs are always in my pocket just in case. Appreciate the advice! :)

Update - It's been about a week since I moved. Peace and quiet! :beeranimation: Anxiety is almost non existent now. I haven't had the need to wear earplugs at all lately. I kind of just forgot about the hyperacusis. Paper or plastic is still bothersome. Speech from others, no more discomfort...

Good news! I saw my ENT this week. Hearing is above normal. He said to give it time to heal. I'm moving to a new home in two weeks with zero road noise! Still waiting on my Westones, apparently they are running behind a few weeks.

The ones I have are currently silicon plugs. The Westones are still on order for another 2 weeks.

Lying in bed, feeling great with no pain and then, boom! A car passes by and their brakes squeal, hello setback! :(

Just picked up my earplugs. What a waste of money! Barely any protection and the occlusion effect is increased 10x when I speak. Westones should be a huge improvement.

Picking up a bottle of Doctor's Best Chelated Magnesium tonight! Here's hoping it helps with the H.

Mainly fast food positions.

Going to be picking up the Style 49 for loud situations. I originally had a pair done years ago, 2005ish? Lost them at a gig :wideyed:

I'm ready! Tired of renting.

Looks like mine are the same. I'm trying to see if I can get the molds sent to a Westone dealer, if not, I'm out another $200. Doh!

Yup! Everyone is buying up homes without even going onsite. Crazy times.

Your custom earplugs, do they have removable filters? I believe the ones I have on order, the filters can be replaced depending on the attenuation I'm seeking.

@Leila, I feel your pain! I don't know your living situation, but I hope you're able to find some kind of arrangement. Definitely moving for sure.

Thank you for your thoughts! I'm definitely moving soon. It's 24/7 humming, well not exact. It usually dies down around 12 am.

Just got back from the quiet place. You're stop on. As soon as I got back home. Boom! Instant tension and anxiety.

Quake and DayZ for me.

Sometimes it's just a matter of finding the right strain. I do get paranoid too, but I try to vape right before bed so it just knocks me out.

Hi everyone, I've always had tinnitus due to negligence on my part as a teenager and up to my mid 20's. Playing in death metal bands without proper protection certainty didn't help. I had a recent tinnitus spike that started on 11-25-2021 due to overwhelming stress in my personal life...

I just started vaping cannabis. It definitely spikes my tinnitus, but usually goes away after a few hours. I can deal with that for sure.
