I was an active member of Tinnitus Talk 4 years ago, and I still see familiar people here. To see how I have suffered, I strongly recommend you look up my postings; they are quite dreadful. Now I am entirely cured of hyperacusis, and I don't care whether I lose my hearing from loud noise. My...

Hello everyone, This community has a variety of people from different countries, and I see that lots of people here have passion for learning foreign languages. So I thought better to post something that everyone can tell something - like the difficulty of what they're learning foreign...

I can handle traffic noise but can't do the same with a moderately loud music in a quite place; I fear that those kind of sound would affect my hearing. I guess I can say I have phonophobia developed by hyperacusis. Anything else is fine like the loud creaking sound when the bus stops (although...

I am very jealous about A-Level system in the UK. They seem to offer some good students in sixth form tons of subjects that you can choose what to study according to your preferred major when going to a college. It's also fascinating that A-Level covers about the first year of college's studies...

Hello everyone, I found that there were no thread introducing or sharing Jazz music, so I decided to make one. Hope this thread helps you in any way.

I have hyperlipidemia, but not to the extent that I need medication yet. I’ve had it ever since I was in elementary school. How do you manage your condition? They told me to exercise, and I’m starting to work on that. I’m also eating more vegetables.

I abandoned earplugs for a year just because they make loud noises inside my ear whenever I put them on and off. The friction is unbearable and with that regard, I bought earmuffs and feel that my life has got better by using them. Plus, I feel that I'm more comfortable with my hyperacusis...

I can ride any bus (almost) and can go to the shopping center which causes me discomfort. But I can manage without earplugs. And I seem to build a sound tolerance at certain sounds but not all. But the thing is that I can't ride the subway and that is a 2 hour-ride on weekly basis. Inside the...

Hello I have a small business that requires me to take 2 hours of subway ride. But I'm very afraid of this one. I don't use earplugs at all and I have tried to take 40 minutes of subway ride without earplugs and the result was not very favourable; I had a temporary ear fullness and a wind or...

I am seriously thinking of buying Xbox because of this game. Dancing really makes me feel uplifted and it's fun. It's good way to deal with all the anxieties that comes from hyperacusis...

Hello! I just wanted to share some ragtime music by Scott Joplin. They are nostalgic, mind-soothing, reflective and very fun. My first recommendation is... Gladiolus Rag.

Hello! I want to discuss about playing musical instruments. Accoustic pianos are really loud but it doesn't affect one's hearing. People play the instrument every day and for hours of practice is absolutely fine. It's usually the use of Earphones, headphones and loud speakers that hurt musicians...

Hello and I need some advice on how to adjust the volume of my sound machine. I currently have Oasis S650 and this is quite a good product. But I'm quite confused whether to set the volume high or low. I don't have a tinnitus right now so I don't know what standard I should follow to set the...

Normal people don't resort to sound therapy but there are cases where the treatment improved people's hearing conditions. So what I'm wondering about is... Can normal people's hearing be significantly enhanced by listening to white noise for hours a day as well? What do you think?

Listening YouTube rain sounds through the smartphone or television - what do you think about this? Does this practically help anyone who have hyperacusis? I have found a good white noise generator on the internet but it will take some time to get it. Besides, I really like those rain sounds I...

My favorite is a 19th century literature. The Scarlett Letter, Wuthering heights, Kate Chopin, Henry james, Dostoyevsky, The Moomins, fictions of Ayn Rand, etc. I don't know what else.. I want to find some books that resembles the society and life and are also dynamic. Dystopian fictions are so...

Hyperacusis can be at least partially cured. The only thing that makes the condition worse is the fear and anxiety and therefore listening to everything at a bearably audible volume. This only worsens the condition. Don't just try to listen to noisies or sounds passively. It won't do at all. It...

Okay, I been recently fidgeting about my neck. The smell of blood was not good so I had to go to the ENT clinic. I was told fine but I was really too curious know what the problem was so I choose the other doctor(he was children's doctor and there are about 3~4 doctors working since it is a big...

I encountered some interesting writings. It's not in English so I had to translate them. My English is not very fluent so you'll have a hard time reading it. What do you think about these articles? Article 1: If you’re reaction to noises is somewhat excessive, it’s not about your mood, it’s...

Even if it's a small sound, some are capable enough to irritate you and cause pain in your ear. Why is that? These days I developed a fear in my books and papers. Accidentally brushing them makes me shiver and the sound of those papers clicking makes my eardrums vibrate, it seems. And from other...

Just sharing experiences here. One after the another - what's happening to me? :) I recently again heard a small bus creaking horrible noises when it stopped at the station. Well, those kind of bus makes that sound all the time but this one was really loud and a prolonged sound. I wasn't...

Say 5 years - that's a long time you can do something for a while. There can be anything you'd like to achive or develop in your capacity. It can be anything; do you want to play as many games as possible? Do you want to write, or learn the instruments? Do you like to get your ear condition...

Okay, one day I thought my 3M earplugs are tiring and uncomfortable to wear on and off, and that's why I looked up and bought a silicon one, AKA musician's earplugs, that can be thrusted to your ears right up. And it was a huge disappointment for me. It doesn't block out sounds like foam types...

Have you people ever heard a girl screaming just in front of you? I did. I took the wrong bus and had to wait at the crossroad to go home walking and then there was this very ill-tempered little girl with her brother. They had obviously a petty quarrel and this girl out of fury and frustration...

I'm very interested in the jazz piano and happened to find the best jazz piano academy in my country. I really can't miss the fun and am definitely going to have lessons from them. But when I inquired carefully about my condition and if ever you know the person or your students who can't stand...

I am very fond of Jazz piano and I've been to lessons a few months ago. Only I had to wear my foam earplugs really tight(I know how to wear them properly.) and still the sound is very loud... it would, of couse, because it can sorely be used for performances on-stage. Or the room was to small to...

I am so glad this kind of forum exists. With our modern medical skills not being able to cure this kind of ear related diseases and hearing impairment, and doctors' not able to give clear instructions on these topics, I guess we have only us to depend on for the moment. I have a severe...
