Hey, so this just happened - My partner was putting some soundproofing thing on our front door, ironically enough, and he hammered something into the door with me right in the other room. I got immediate ear pain in my more injured ear. I was in the bedroom with the door closed but I was only...

Hi, I'm sorry to write that, the last couple of days, I have had a new tone in my right ear. I am trying to figure out why this happened. I have had high pitched tinnitus and hyperacusis from an acoustic trauma 2 years ago (and a worsening of it from another loud-ish sound one year ago). I was...

Hey friends, I had a little spike in my hyperacusis and tinnitus after a loud motorcycle drove past me last weekend so I decided to make an appointment with a hyperacusis specialist. To make a long story short, the doctor was fairly condescending and insisted on giving me a hearing test and...

Hi friends, I’ve been feeling so supported on this forum recently, thanks again to everyone. I’m meeting someone at a wine bar tonight and I’m pretty nervous about it. I chose a place where we can sit outside, and we will be going early so it shouldn’t be crowded. The hostess said they will...

Hey, Just wanted to check in, it's been a while. My acoustic trauma was a year and a half ago, with a second smaller one last summer. By the 8th month after the first acoustic trauma, I was going out with no earplugs and living a pretty normal life. But after the 2nd acoustic trauma, my ears...

Hi, I wanted to post a quick note. My physical therapist has been using a low-level laser on my ears for several weeks, and I have noticed a decrease in tinnitus and hyperacusis that seems to be directly related to the laser treatment. My ear issues were caused from an acoustic trauma...

Hi, I’ve been recovering from a reactivation of my noise-induced ear trauma (tinnitus and hyperacusis) for the last few months. I finally felt like my tinnitus was quieting and I was feeling so grateful. At midnight last night I got woken up by a seemingly loud firework in close range of my...

Hey all, I did something very silly last night when I was very tired and not thinking... I threw a glass bottle into my recycling not realizing someone had put a wine bottle in there earlier. The two glass bottles smacked together and made a pretty loud sound. My tinnitus definitely seems...

Hey! I had an acoustic trauma about 6 weeks ago. It has been a stressful and scary time. Thankfully, I am (slowly) healing. However, I have become extremely anxious about sound exposure, even normal day to day sounds. Bad anxiety. It happened on accident, a bench slammed shut loudly near me...

Hey Everyone, I am brand new to Tinnitus Talk. I have read some posts and found support over the last couple of days. I was exposed to a loud sound Friday night, a bench slamming shut. Since then I’ve had increased bilateral ringing and I felt a bit nauseous and slightly off-balance. I went...
