Hi guys, A little background: I've had pain hyperacusis twice in my life - one being now. However, I've never really considered the "sound" of loudness hyperacusis like many of you describe. I always just thought things were loud in one ear because one frequency that would distort or whistle...

Hello all, looking for some insight here. Many of you have probably read that hyperacusis and noxacusis are thought to be caused by two reasons. Some say it’s a sensitivity issue, as many hyperacusis sufferers have no hearing loss. Others say it’s a long-term damage issue that CAN’T get better...

Hey, There's a type of headphones i haven't seen get coverage here. Between the speakers and your ear, there's a long tubing which the sound is transferred through. Like with an outer ear hearing aid. I thought some people may be interested as they use the same delivery system as 'safe' hearing...

Hey guys, So over the last 2 months, I’ve started to get quiet low-level overtones or distortions. It doesn’t sound too odd at first, however strangely it is short lived and alternating. It’s always a different frequency and ear each time it occurs. Only one overtone at a time and each can last...

I’m pretty confident my hyperacusis only exists in one ear at a time and then switches to another. I only noticed this because more recently I was having periods of constant pain. So maybe 10 days of hyperacusis in the left ear, then suddenly 10 days in the right ear. Never in both ears at the...

Hey guys. I am interested to hear where everyone’s ears are at as they get older. I’ve recently started to ask around musician friends but not many have had a test or willing to divulge. As a person who’s worn earplugs every time I have gone out since age 20, I expected to have close to no...

Hey I haven't been able to find any examples of extended audiograms that test under 100 Hz. Has anyone ever had that tested? It would help with my investigation into the cause of low frequency tinnitus. Part of the reason we may have no answers is because none of us know if it is due to hearing...

Hey all, I’m wondering what is the best way to block out bass in loud environments? I noticed the attenuation provided by earplugs is pretty bad in low frequencies. Anyone who has Bose noise-cancelling headphones has probably noticed how they crackle in loud environments or from loud bass...

Hey all I’ve been meeting a lot of friends who’ve described they have distortions (broken speaker) type effect in loud environments. I personally have a resonance peak that peaks at a certain high frequency probably 4-6 kHz or so. It’s been there in one ear as long as I can remember. The same...

Hey, So as the title states, I’ve always subjectively heard better in my left ear, mostly noticeable in loud environments, and I always feared my right ear was going deaf because it wasn’t as good detail wise. Imagine covering one side at a time and hearing that obvious difference. Everything...

Hey all, I have mild tinnitus. I'm often around noise, so I protect my hearing. I have tried to protect my hearing for most of my adult life. Age 20 onwards. I'm always using earplugs and always correctly. I use lower dB rating earplugs in bars and restaurants, and 20-30 dB rating earplugs at...

Hey, I've been digging reasonably far and wide on Tinnitus Talk for suggestions on what you all use for ear pain relief but haven't seen much. My pain isn't severe but it comes on after periods of 65 dB+ sound and I will be attending an event for several hours tomorrow that I can't avoid. I...

Hey all, I was wondering a few things and hoping a few of you with a little more knowledge may be able to help. I have both normal tinnitus & pulsatile tinnitus. Who else has a high pitch (8 kHz-15 kHz) pulsatile tinnitus vs. the more common whooshing and swooshing? I've seen a few of you...
