Hi. I have been living in an apartment building for just over 3 years. It's relatively quiet most of the time around here, but there are lawnmowers going around and other work on the building regularly. Ordinary, necessary stuff like that. Once in a while, I ask the 2 janitors (a couple) how...

Friends: I may need to buy a smartphone, not that I really want to. Problem is that most of those that I have used for a while, borrowed from someone, give off a very tinny kind of sound which is awful to my ears. Any kind of tinny sound from an old TV, a computer speaker etc... wreaks havoc...

There was a thread I started about a year ago about all the moves I have had to make starting then, and am STILL making. You all know how hard it is for us to do so many things, like find a quiet and cheap place to live. This is really wearing me out and making me bitter. Anyways, at that...

Hi friends: Amongst my own peculiar and as yet inexplicable reactions with my having hyperacusis, one that I have noticed over some time is that I can have a setback after a worrisome noise exposure ONLY THE NEXT MORNING. Some times of course the reaction is relatively immediate. But one gauge...

Hello folks: I have not been here for a while. It is not because my ears are OK that I have avoided this forum. I just needed a break from hearing about some bad cases. There is just so much misery one can expose oneself to. It does not mean I do not feel for those who are suffering, believe...

I just got out of a psych ward after 5 weeks there. Although worries about local plane noise and local construction contributed, most of the stress that I gather drove me to the hospital in desperation came from confrontations with a roommate I hardly knew. I am feeling better, not much thanks...

Hi folks: I would like to know if it has ever been hard for you to find a suitable apartment , as a person with hyperacusis? I ask this because I have been having a hard time. I had been living 25 years in a fine place, but we had to leave. Learning to use the websites for apartment searches...

Well I am in the middle of a serious setback since last night. Every sound is a small torture, including air going up my noise, water from the tap etc... I suppose everyone here knows what I am talking about. What happened is that I listened to some music for about 3 minutes in all, at a low...

I have just been living in a new place for one and a half months, and I may need to move already because of noise sources that I did not foresee. Just before that, I had no place because I could not find anything suitable by the time I had to leave on July 1st. I had to rent a hotel room for a...

Do you ever get delayed reactions to sound exposures? Often, I seem to get delayed reactions to apparent over-exposure to noise. What happens is that I might over-expose, and when I wake up the next day I am worse. It is always the morning after. Now, of course, it may not be, but there really...

I've been reading a biography of Neil Young, a pretty famous musician for those who do not know. Seems he has a mild case of hyperacusis. I figure it is mild because he continued to perform after getting it, which most hyperacusis sufferers would not be able to do. Here is an excerpt from an...

Hi folks: What happened to @Bam? The guy who could not take it anymore, was arrested, and taken to a psychiatric ward. I have not seen his thread. I am worried about him. Marco

Hello everyone: I have not been here for a while, because I have been preoccupied with making a major housing move while having hyperacusis. You are all probably the only people who really understand how difficult that was. Let me explain what happenned because I need to share all this...

Hi: I may try this medication called citalopram or celexa. But if I ever do I would like to consult a list of medications that have proved sometimes ototoxic for hyperacusis and tinnitus. Is there such a place on this website or any other? My father get really really increased tinnitus from...

Hi: Just came back from the doctor, and got some bad news that I absolutely must go and have this parathyroid test because of some calcium deficiency, which could lead to heart failure and death. I did not know it was so important, and the doctor never told me. I have put this off now for...

Hi: Well, a week ago these chirping sounds from our two fire alarms in my apartment started to sound to possibly indicate battery replacement time. However, the warnings then came on fast and I started freaking out that I would not be able to find someone to put in the new batteries for me...

Amongst the many worries with hyperacusis that I have, one that always comes up is being exposed to loud sounds while sleeping. I think that is what happened yesterday to plunge me into another bad setback. You see, I try to stay awake during the day just in case some sound from the outside...

Who is that beautiful young woman featured in the pop-up that appears every time we come onto this site? I want to marry her! Which brings up the more serious question of what woman would want to have a relationship with me with my hyperacusis? Now worse, but better than the worst of my...

Hi folks: In case anyone is interested, I thought I'd give you all an update on my ears' condition. I started a very bad hyperacusis setback in early January. I posted here about that around that time in a thread started by Cora. After a good recovery after Easter, I had two new setbacks...
