Hi, all. So, I developed moderate-to-severe hyperacusis back in the beginning of May last year due to an ear-flushing gone wrong. The GP who flushed out my ears (due to earwax impaction) was so rough that she damaged my inner ear hairs, causing an intense hearing sensitivity. (My full story...

So, since there's apparently no way to control how much ear wax one builds (by that, I mean; no way to prevent earwax impaction/buildup), does that mean I'll now be stuck in the cycle of "earwax impaction --> go to get it flushed out --> major (most likely permanent) increase in hyperacusis and...

Hi, all. I just gotta know, how do you live with hyperacusis? I'm 19 (turning 20 in a couple weeks), living in NSW, Australia, currently studying an IT Diploma online at home. I'm looking at job ads online every single day as I just wanna get out there and start working again, but basically...

Hi, just wondering if you guys know of any earplugs that let you have a conversation without the occlusion effect (if that's possible), as I have mild hyperacusis. I've had it for, around two months and I believe I'm seeing progress. I used to not be able to tolerate running water from a tap...

Can hyperacusis make tinnitus worse? Also, I have fullness in my right ear but not in my left, and my left ear twitches/makes faint popping noises at times. When I move my jaw in a certain way, it sounds like there's sand or something moving in my right ear and when I swallow, only my right...

Hi, all, I'm 19 years old and I've had tinnitus for just under a year-and-a-half. I distinctly remember hearing it (at that rate) in December of 2017. Warning: This is a long one... My family and I flew from Sydney, Australia (which is where I live) to the UK to see family. The flights were...
