    Hyperacusis Came Along with Tinnitus Spike: My Ears Are Sensitive to Even Quiet Noises

    Recently my tinnitus kicked up a notch and now I have nasty hyperacusis or ear pain or whatever. It’s extremely quiet, just a bit of wind and my ears feel like they’re going to fall off. I can’t think of any loud sounds I’ve been exposed to recently, the hyperacusis just came out of nowhere...

    Should I Check Myself Into a Psych Ward?

    It's not just the tinnitus anymore. I'm struggling to cope. Everything was building up before this - anxiety, depression, hallucinations. Tinnitus was the straw that broke it I guess. I no longer feel safe and in control. I don't want it to be like this anymore.

    Struggling to Cope

    Hello again. I'm really struggling to cope. The high pitched bullshit is so bad that when I sleep even with ambient sounds it takes over jolts me out of whatever pre sleep state I was in. I decreased my Ativan in a hope to slowly taper, so I know the days of shit quality sleep I do get are...

    Is Anxiety the Culprit Behind These Symptoms?

    Recently I've been having other symptoms with my tinnitus. Tension headaches and stomach cramps to be specific. Is anxiety the culprit behind these symptoms? I notice when I take 1 mg of Ativan these feelings abate and I am able to sleep and function. But I know I can't take it for ever and...

    Is This Hyperacusis?

    Every now and then I'll get ear and jaw pain, specifically in my left ear and jaw. There is also an additional high-pitched ring only in my left ear that goes along with any type of noise and makes everything sound glassy and weird. This happens when people talk, birds chirp, and especially...

    Really Bad Spike. Need Some Input.

    Right now my T is going off the charts. I have two high frequency sounds, 1 in each ear, and another that seems to come and go that I have had before and after some relaxation methods it went away. I want to contribute it to a nasal spray (Avamys) that my ENT prescribed me for my sinuses. I'm...

    Thought I Was Making Progress But Now It's Worse

    I suffer from high frequency T. Recently I have been able to sleep well, but now that has changed. Now I have another higher frequency tone in my left ear that pulsates along with the existing tone. My jaw is sore on both sides and my head is pounding. Will this stop or is it a new baseline...

    My Brain Really Loves to Play Games with Me

    After a spike last week, my T set itself back to baseline and I was able to get some good sleep. I was finally starting to enjoy some things in life. My rugby team won after a losing streak of 7-8 matches, I was getting back into one of my favourite shows and actually having a laugh with my...

    Anyone with Experiences Regarding High Frequency Tinnitus and It Dropping to Manageable Levels?

    Hello once again. About a week ago my T ramped up from a mild tone to a high frequency after not taking care of myself and continuing to abuse my hearing through earphones and headphones. It is essentially unmaskable and hard to sleep. Has anyone's high frequency T maybe dropped in frequency...

    Finally Got Some Sleep

    After 6 days of no sleep I finally got some. And yes literally no sleep. I was starting to hallucinate and lose touch with reality. Unfortunately I suffer from high frequency T so white noise does little for me other than offer some distraction. I went to my GP who prescribed some temazepam to...

    Is My Tinnitus Getting Louder? Can Anyone Relate?

    This afternoon I was sitting on my desk looking at my phone and then bam! My T starts going crazy and now I have louder ringing in both ears. Will this subside or is this my life now? Because my God is it loud. Could I be going deaf?

    Extremely High-Frequency Tinnitus

    I have an extremely high frequency tinnitus. Probably more than 15 kHz. It hurts so much and I have no idea how to help it. It has only just showed up over the past week and I've been awoken for 5 days. Has anyone lowered this somehow or am I doomed?
