    Exploring the Middle Ear Function in Patients with a Cluster of Symptoms

    As some of you will already know, Norena is one of the few people looking at middle-ear involvement when it comes to hyperacusis. He's just released a new paper and I was hoping someone here can provide access to the full paper. Abstract can be found here: Exploring the middle ear function in...

    Challenging the Current Terminology of Hyperacusis

    This post is something I have been giving a lot of thought to as of late following many conversations with @serendipity1996, who has been a great sounding board for some of my own theories, and was finally prompted by @FGG asking a fairly common question I see people with this condition ask: can...

    Can Anyone Recommend a Good Pair of Ear Muffs for Hyperacusis?

    So I’ve been wearing ear defenders now for the last 9 months but I’m beginning to wonder whether these might be aggravating my trigeminal neuralgia symptoms as they’re quite tight and not the most comfortable things to wear. They also look ridiculous lol. I’m looking for something a bit more...

    Does Anybody Else Have Hyperacusis That "Flips" from Ear to Ear?

    When I first got hyperacusis, I had very bad symptoms in both ears and I would describe the pain levels and LDLs to be identical (terrible) for both ears. Some 8 months down the line and my symptoms have improved overall, but not in the way I expected. Usually one ear, for example the right...

    Increased Input vs. Decreased Input — Why Can Both Resolve Hyperacusis?

    Over the last couple of days, it occurred to me that two, seemingly polar opposite processes can resolve hyperacusis, so I thought I'd start an open discussion to see if we can find out anything more about the underlying pathology. I'll start by sharing some of my own thoughts. There have been...

    Unilateral Hyperacusis Switching from Ear to Ear

    So this is something I started to notice over the last 5-6 weeks and wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience. I'm currently 6 months post-trauma. Basically, around 6 weeks ago I was beginning to realise that my left ear was in a much better place than my right ear. Although...

    Distortion, High Frequencies and Hyperacusis: A Forensic Inquest

    I had initially drafted this as a reply to another post, but in the end felt it deserved its own exclusive thread, as I feel this is something that has come up many times in our conversations as hyperacusis sufferers but has not been fully dissected as a point of interest. I would therefore like...

    Swimming, Syringing and the Pathology of Unilateral Hyperacusis

    I'm looking for some further insight into the pathology behind my specific case of hyperacusis and whether perhaps there's something else going on that could perhaps be treated. So I'm almost five months now into my hyperacusis after being exposed to a severely loud motorbike and have improved...

    Have to Take Antibiotics for an Infection: Which Is the Least Ototoxic One?

    As if having tinnitus and hyperacusis from noise-induced trauma isn't already enough, I have recently found myself in a situation where I have to take an antibiotic for an infection. I am now trying to establish which is the best antibiotic to take (from the list I've been given) following an...

    Can My Story Tell Us More About the Pathology of Hyperacusis?

    Disclaimer: this is a long post about how I developed this condition, so if you want the TLDR and my general thoughts on this condition, scroll to the bottom of the post as I’ve summarised them there. Given the sequence of events that led to me developing this condition, I felt compelled to...
