I am so sorry I couldn't respond. Did you make the trip? It all depends on the severity of your condition really, but I would say three hours is really short so you will be fine! What I did is wear earplugs and noise cancelling headphones for the whole flight. Let me know how it went.

LOL, well it is my parents who are rich, not me :p Guys, I am back in New York and fortunately didn't have any setbacks. I am safe and sound, the weather here is much cooler than back home which is good. I travelled Business Class, the cutlery didn't bother me much, there were a lot of crying...

Thank you so much for all the information. You are right, we can't micro manage everything. My anxiety is getting the better of me as my return approaches. I am not sure what makes you say that I am that wealthy, I am as wealthy as a regular guy can be. I just don't want to make my condition...

Hi, thank you for all the suggestions... wow, flight attending with hyperacusis and tinnitus must take a lot! I am really thinking about getting Business Class as it is going to be a long flight and I don't want to be stuck with screaming children. That said, I know Business Class comes with...

Yes, but Business Class also means actual cutlery. So, I also dread plates clanking, although I don't think there are much people in the Business Class to produce that much clanking. I know other than that it would be nice and quiet!

Cutlery are not plastic for Business Class, as it is more high end. So I guess that is one downside of traveling Business Class, but yes it would be better than to be stuck next to screaming kids!

Hi all, I have tinnitus & hyperacusis, I posted in here a while ago about going to my home country. I had planned that my life would have just ended there, I have cancer and I had hoped that without the treatments I would just peacefully die. How ironic that I can not even fulfill my death wish...

Hi guys, I know you all mean well and I know your heart is in the right place. Sometimes I wake up in the night and cry, "why? why are you letting this thing kill you?" It is just some stupid thing wrong with your ears!" But the day goes by and I still don't take my medication. I keep...

Hi guys, I am doing fine. Going home was a good decision and I feel more relaxed. Unfortunately my hyperacusis got worse after a setback, it is crazy how cautious we have to be around sound. Just one small gathering, I thought I would be fine without the earmuffs but baam. I don't have the...

I assure you bud, I don't have just "some hyperacusis"! My own voice and chewing hurts so it is pretty debilitating, otherwise I wouldn't have posted. I do hope you are right though and it heals with time. As for precaution, I try to prevent further damage. I wear earplugs everytime I go out...

It truly is devastating, I fought cancer for two years and I don't think I have the patience to go on fight another battle. Mind you I had the most intense cancer treatments, I didn't have the easy way out, so you are right in quoting this thread whenever someone brings up the argument. This...

What do you mean when you say it can get worse? You mean the hyperacusis? :( Not just worse! It doesn't even come close, it is way worse. Mind you the treatments I had were the most intense forms of chemo, so I didn't have an easy route. Left me with episodes of dizziness, weakness and nausea...

This is my first post, long time lurker here. I can say that hyperacusis alone has single handedly ruined my life. A little bit of a back story. I am a cancer patient who went through a lot of treatments in the last two years just to live. Little did I know that the devil was waiting for me...
