    How was your doctor's appointment today, Marco? Did everything go ok? Regarding our discussion on parathesia, this is what wikipedia says: ''Benzodiazepine withdrawal may also cause paresthesia as the drug removal leaves the GABA receptors stripped bare and possibly malformed.'' Great! I wonder...

    Marco it's weird, we are almost going through the same thing, as well as having hyperacusis.... now I am getting convinced that perhaps this nerve stuff is really coming from the benzo. I read something again today that it is connected. When you drink, do you feel anything happening to your...

    Hi Marco oh you have this parasthesia too? I have been looking at diabetes too (but blood tests say everything is normal), and for sure the term peripheral polyneuropathy is familiar to me. Where do you have these sensations? Do you find that the clonezapam helps it or makes it worse? About...

    Hi Juan Yes, the word recovery is a magical word for us, isn't it? No I have absolutely no hearing loss. My hearing tests have always been perfect, as with many with hyperacusis.

    Hang in Marco. I have had setbacks too, in the past year, and have bounced back. And it takes me less and less time to bounce back (I have had hyperacusis since 2008). Oh yes I think that pills in general get less effective after the expiry date, or did they have an expiry date? I know the...

    Clonazepam helped me with the ear pain, not total remission, but it helped. And it helped me sleep of course. If I could do it over again, I would have used the clonazepam while doing TRT/pink noise/? so the brain doesn't get habituated to the ear-pain connection. But only for the first 2...

    yup, exactly like me! Well, I find that the pain subsides in shorter and shorter spans of time... so that's a good thing. I have hope that it will go away. But I have a feeling that I will never go to the movie theater again! That's ok, I didn't like watching long movies anyway! Good luck to you,

    oh yes contstant pain (ORL's don't get this). And now, pain lingers for a while if I am exposed to sounds my ears don't like.

    Well, I had painful hyperacusis for about 2 years. The pain has mostly gone away, and I can do many more things than I was able to at the beginning. My life is pretty quiet, my job, my life at home, so my ears had a chance to heal. Now I can expose them to more and more, for example dining in...

    hi! just an update... I went back to Canada and sure it was noisy in the plane, but I wore wax earplugs and my noise cancelling head phones. I couldn't talk to the people around me (ouch!). It was annoying, still a bit painful, and I couldn't sleep, but I survived, no setback , no repercussions...

    That's true... everyone has their own problems to worry about, and I have mine! Good insight about the foam plugs not blocking out as much bass as earmuffs... that's important to me! Oh and yeah, putting in and taking out those ear plugs isn't really comfortable. In my country I can get these...

    New to the Forum, Hello Bonjour

    Thanks for the support Bobby. I guess I will be ok. I also have noise-cancelling head phones (they cost 300$!) so I guess I will see what is the most comfortable! But during the safety presentation at the beginning I will have to put in some good old orange foam earplugs (they don't like it...

    Hi! My hyperacusis started in 2008 after several years of over exposure to loud music. I had taken prescription ibuprofen and was on major antibiotics once in a while. At first I was in pain all the time and every single noise hurt. Since, my ears have gotten a lot better. I can now go to...
