    Caffeine Spikes Tinnitus?

    Had a cup of coffee the other day and unbeknownst to me, it was made with espresso (150 mg caffeine). I felt awful afterwards. Really shaky and disoriented. Now my "static" tinnitus is in a huge spike. I almost feel like I did when tinnitus first came on, always thinking about it. I was...

    My Hyperacusis Has Reduced by 80%.

    I just wanted to let others know there IS hope of it going away. I've basically followed all of the default "rules" for hyperacusis: 1. Rarely protect ears with earmuffs (unless babies screaming, mowing grass, using power tools, etc) 2. Stay away from high noise areas (loud restaurants at...

    White Noise in Earbud... Make It Worse?

    I'm considering doing TRT through my audiologist so I figured I'd listen to some white noise (very low) in my earphones. After the first session, which was about 1 hr. and so low I could barely hear it, I now have an audible hiss in my ear in addition to my pure tone. I may have had the hiss...

    Lyrica Causing Side Effects Like Buzzing/Humming in the Head and Hyperacusis?

    Does H usually start immediately after a "sound event"? Mine started about two weeks ago months after a possible sound event. Just seems odd, which is why I'm looking into medication as a cause. Has anyone that has used Lyrica had side effects like buzzing/humming in the head and hyperacusis?
