    How Sad Is This — One in Seven Children Have Hearing Damage

    Just read that a university in Holland found that one in seven children have hearing damage. Age group 9-11 years old. 11% of the 3000 children say they experience tinnitus and/or distorted hearing and/or hyperacusis. They are getting at an age where they soon want to go to more music festivals...

    Weird Sensation

    A few days ago I experienced a weird effect in my brain regarding tinnitus. I was watching TV and started to doze of. I remember distinctly after waking up again that during this dozing of my tinnitus completely disappeared, but I was still hearing sound from the tv (subconsciously). As if the...

    A Simple Head Turn Can Vastly Improve Understanding of Speech in Noisy Environments

    I must be missing something here. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/314939.php "When tested in the laboratory, with the speech in front of the listener and interfering noise behind, the technique resulted in a 4-decibel improvement to intelligibility of speech in a noisy environment for...

    The "Ear in a Dish" Project

    Is it perhaps a good idea to have a thread about the Ear in a Dish project?: http://hearinghealthmatters.org/hearinginternational/2016/ear-dish-project/

    Autonomic Nervous System

    I understand that the autonomic nervous system has a connection with our emotions. I also wonder if hyperacusis could be fed by this autonomic nervous system. A sort of vicious circle. The noise incident I was exposed to was traumatic. I wonder if my autonomic nervous system is still...

    Unexplained — Why One Ear Is More Sensitive to Certain Tones?

    This is a long shot, but I wonder if someone else experiences what I am experience with my hearing, (or has an explanation.) My right ear has moderate to severe hearing loss. (NIHL). Left ear has got small hearing loss. Lately I noticed certain frequencies (1-4 kHz) can be a lot louder in my...

    A New Paradigm in Hearing

    Hi all, http://www.a3ccm-apmas-eakoh.be/welcome.htm http://www.a3ccm-apmas-eakoh.be/index.htm I found this interesting. Does anyone know if there is more recent information? It explains the origin of hyperacusis in a different way. It also explains cochlear amplification in a different way. I...

    High-Frequency Tinnitus When You're Young

    "Older" people are in general not able to hear high frequencies anymore or to a lesser extend. Frequencies higher than lets say 12-15 kHz. I remember "loosing" the 15626 Hz frequency an old tv generates when I was 40, if I remember correctly. I was able to hear the frequency at higher volumes...

    Hyperacusis Left and Right

    I noticed something that disturbed me. I thought that the right ear where my hearing damage shows in the audiogram also is the ear that causes my hyperacusis. Today I was in a noisy environment and decided to protect my right ear and listen with my "healthy" left ear. Now I find that the noise...

    Can the Frequency (Hz) of Hyperacusis Change Over Time?

    I am approximately 7 months into the onset of my H and T after NIHL. Lately I have the distinct feeling that the frequency where my H is bothering me is going down. My H frequency started with sounds from cutlery and running water (this still bothers me). I start to notice that plates and cups...

    Hyperacusis and Distortion in Ear

    My acoustic trauma happened 7 months ago. The T and H began 6 months ago. I still have T and H. Also distortion in right (most damaged ear) ear. Even when sound enters left ear crackling and distortion can happen in right ear. This distortion unsettles me in particular. Are there people on this...

    Confusion

    "Confusion will be my epitaph" from King Crimson keeps cropping up in my mind. I hope however this will not be the case. How can I make sense of all the information that is on the internet regarding T, H and hearing loss? Reading "molecular&cell biology for dummies" doesn't seem to be enough...

    Only One Explosion

    My name is Rein a 55 year old male from the Netherlands. May the 16th 2015. I will never forget this day. Someone tried to start a motorcycle. He kept feeding the engine with petrol by choking and turning the throttle all the time. Than this enormous bang from all the petrol that must have been...
