Anyone else dealing with the hell-on-tinnitus-sufferers that are Brood X cicadas? I actually like the bugs, but we live in the woods and they are high-pitched and loud as hell. As of today I realized I could not take my daily walk on our road without earplugs. Looking forward to July when they...

Hi all, I am still trying to understand how hyperacusis works. My situation: I had an acoustic trauma in late 2017. For a while I had quite bad tinnitus, especially in my left ear (the Morse code kind). My tinnitus has improved a lot. Even when it spikes, it's quiet enough that it doesn't...

Hi folks, I would like to clarify the use of the term "hyperacusis," because I have seen it used to refer to what I have experienced as two very different phenomena: 1) experiencing ordinary sounds as unpleasantly "too loud" 2) experiencing ear pain (sometimes only a little while later, not...

I had an acoustic trauma in Nov. 2017. I developed Morse code type tinnitus in my left ear and more of a hissing in my right. The tinnitus itself has gotten much better over the years. I really almost never think about it. I wake up a lot at night these days, and often I'm aware at some...

Hi all, 1) The good news: I suffered an acoustic trauma in Oct. 2017, was very careful during the first year, saw gradual improvement, and by early this past summer (2019) was really doing great: many moments of no tinnitus at all, listening to music again at significant volume in car. I felt...

Hi all, I know this is a controversial subject but... After acoustic trauma in Nov. 2017 I have been pretty religiously protecting my ears since about Jan. Well, I guess not compared to some people here-- I don't wear ear plugs going outside or anything, but I do only watch TV on low volume w...

Hi all, I developed tinnitus after acoustic trauma in Nov. 2017. It gradually became pulsatile in one ear; in the other it's just high white noise. (The second is actually the one the ENT said had hearing loss at high frequencies.) It's never so loud during the day that it bothers me much...

Hi all, I would love to know if anyone has had a good or bad experience (tinnitus or hyperacusis increased or decreased) from having just UPPER wisdom teeth removed, with NO drilling involved. I am scheduled to do this Friday. Tinnitus and hyperacusis have been acting up—are probably worst...

Hi all, I would love to pick your collective brains on a few things. Thanks in advance! I suffered an acoustic trauma about 2 months ago (Nov. 10) when exposed very briefly to super-high volume on small headphones (the old kind, not earbuds). My ears hurt afterward, but were better by the...
