    Hyperacusis Spike for About a Week After 4 Years of Stableness

    Update! ✨ I had an appointment with an ENT and described as much as I could this very weird episode. He didn't think twice before telling me that's a known condition named labyrinthine hydrops. So, what I understood (I'm always a bit stressed when I see a doctor and I tend to misinterpret...

    Tinnitus Models — Learn How Tinnitus Originates

    I didn't read the document yet, but you pinpoint a point that seems extremely important about online resources. I'm pretty sure that support communities have very positive aspects, but the information is often incomplete, fragmented, scattered, not sourced, subjective, biased. And as you say...

    Hey, Thanks for your reply. The root domain (optum.com) works, but the subdomain (perks.optum.com) leads to a 403 error.

    Hyperacusis Spike for About a Week After 4 Years of Stableness

    Quick update. My intermittent, random hyperacusis/hearing loss spike has been totally gone (again) since December 16th morning. I cross my fingers for my ear to be kept that way as long as possible (but my regular hearing issue remains, of course)... @GoatSheep, thank you very much for these...

    Hyperacusis Spike for About a Week After 4 Years of Stableness

    Thank you very much for your reply! I must add that if I suffered my "regular", slight hyperacusis 5 years ago, nowadays it almost never bothers me. I got used to it and tolerates it very well. I'd like to know more about your experience @LilCC. I tend to be very cautious when reading...

    Hyperacusis Spike for About a Week After 4 Years of Stableness

    My current, unilateral hyperacusis doesn't seem to have anything related to night/day, sleep/wake up. It seems as random as it could be and can come and go multiple times during a day. So, as I said, it came back on November 22th after a 16 days hiatus and increased/decreased (and disappeared)...

    Hyperacusis Spike for About a Week After 4 Years of Stableness

    And here it comes back since this morning after a 16 day hiatus. Not as bad as the previous time, but who knows how it will be tomorrow. I still don't see what could trigger this, and I'm as puzzled as before. Does anyone has experienced random hyperacusis that comes and goes (at all) in a...

    Hyperacusis Spike for About a Week After 4 Years of Stableness

    Thanks for your reply @GoatSheep. I don't have bruxism as far as I know. I, however, think I have a very slight TMJ issue since it makes crack sounds every time I open my mouth at a wide angle. Also, moving my mandible front to back or left to right makes another tinnitus (a constant "shhhh"...

    Hyperacusis Spike for About a Week After 4 Years of Stableness

    Thank you for your reply! I'm hardly exposed to harsh or loud noises. At a personal level, I always needed calm and quiet environments and always took care of my hearing since ever (so, way before I had very unexpected and lasting hearing issues), and I didn't come across any potentially...

    Hyperacusis Spike for About a Week After 4 Years of Stableness

    Hey guys! I have had bilateral, mild tinnitus (high pitched ringing), slight hyperacusis (high and low frequencies), slight hearing loss, and an incredibly annoying ear fullness sensation (worst on the right ear) for about 4 years. It all happened in a very short span (one to two days)...

    So It Has Been 8 Months for Now. Let's Look Back.

    Hi. I posted some months ago about my brand new acquired, lovely tinnitus. I also wrote a lot about details because I was kind of panicked, as I had (have) not only tinnitus but other issues and doctors didn't (do not) know what's going on. Even if my tinnitus (high-frequency pitch coming from...

    Can You Feel Your Tinnitus Too?

    I'm glad I read this thread as I was really annoying by this weird feeling. It's like if the back of my brain was constantly pinched, but without pain.

    Tinnitus Since a Month, Trying to Get Over It.

    Thank you for your reply. I'm not used to them and I want to stop (slowly of course ) them as soon as possible. I'm in a good mood today regarding my tinnitus and it was especially because two things. I'm not a "celebrity guy", but I came across a list of famous people with tinnitus. It...

    Tinnitus Since a Month, Trying to Get Over It.

    Hi ! I've been suffering from a bilateral tinnitus since one month from now. I had an MRI (looking for multiple sclerosis after an optical neuritis) on the same day morning, with earplugs and headphones, so no loud noises. On the evening, my neurologist called me and told me they did see...
