    Sound Engineering When the (Low Frequency) Tinnitus Is the Hyperacusis

    So in recent years I found out there are many many different types of hyperacusis. Many more than the ones described by the establishment of sound therapists because they're like a royal family of inbreds. There are some, fewer than I thought though, like me, who feel vibrations in the ear. And...

    Emailed the Frauds at Tinnitus.org

    I was recently offended yet again by the stupidity of the Jastrebluffites when I chanced upon their shitty attempt at brandsquatting at that site. I read the retarded, lazy, disgusting, disgraceful and already thoroughly debunked statement ''Since all people with hyperacusis can be helped by a...

    Is Recruitment a Myth?

    A decade ago, Marsha Johnson said that the largest tinnitus clinic in the USA a decade ago, so 20 years ago, wasn't testing for hyperacusis in tinnitus patients. When they started testing for hyperacusis, they suddenly discovered half of the tinnitus patients had hyperacusis. I assume once they...

    Shouldn't Earwax Changing Tinnitus Signal Peripheral Tinnitus Instead of Central Tinnitus?

    We're always told T is a brain thing by the gurus, who like to describe things as subjective when in truth they mean poorly researched and shittily documented... but some signs point to how it could merely be an ear thing in its entirety. Wax changes the resonance of the eardrum, which is one of...

    Botox for Hyperacusis

    A member of a forum in the link below claims his hyperacusis was cured by botox. And that lidocaine is a good trial to see if botox will work. Tried to get him to into more details to no avail for the moment. Apparently they went in through the nose up to the wall across the tensor tympani on...

    What's the Difference Between TTTS and MEM?

    I've read @Chelles and @Blackbird26 say this, something like ''are you sure its not TTS'' to other users. Did they mean tensor tympani spasms as opposed to stapedial spasms? Or did they mean that TTS, as in tonic tensor tympani syndrome responds to external sounds whereas myoclonus goes off on...

    (Wallace and) Grommets for Hyperacusis

    The latest June 2016 update of one of the internet's main reference pages for ear issues, Timothy Hain's Chicago Dizziness and Balance site has a brief mysterious mention of the use of PE tubes for hyperacusis. It's not the statement you think it is, the one that's been around for years...

    http://tinnitustherapy.org.uk/Programme.html 800 quid plus you get to see some sightseeing, so get your tripadvisor Guildford fedoras out. You can get lectured on how ''Cognitive behavioural model for hyperacusis asserts that the noise-induced distress in individuals with hyperacusis arises...

    Vital Signs: An Unwelcome Ringing — Magazine Article About How Doctors Cured a Guy's Ear Pain Spasms

    This might mean the spasms are the pain itself. A microscope and ear speculum was used to see his ear drum twitching and to see which muscle it was. ''The Boston doctor made a small opening in Stephen’s left eardrum and inserted a microscopic telescope attached to a video camera to visualize...

    Thinking of Getting a Nissen Fundoplication...

    I got a ton of reflux, and I think it's about time I had a fundoplication done. I have delayed it for years thinking the anaesthesia would drive my H over the edge, and there are records of anaesthesia-like drugs both improving and worsening T and H. What's your experience, you know of cases...

    Does Superior Canal Dehiscence surgery prove all H are in the inner ear?

    Let's see if I got this right, I'm always eager to learn. H bothers me most at the change of a sound, and the tensor tympani is more involved in sound change, whereas the stapedius is involved in the sound itself. Or Superior Canal dehiscence, which is apparently treatable, and it's about this...

    What Do Jastreboff, David Beckham and Taylor Swift Have in Common?

    Reading http://hyperacusis.net/hyperacusis/success+stories/default.asp Minor's story. She says These the same tests all ENT doctors do these days, where they deem hyperacusis patient's ear to be ''normal'' because he/she doesn't have any hearing loss. I'm gonna rename Jastreboff...
