    Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease (AIED)

    Not that I know of unless you mean Cymbalta and all that junk. I was given that by a Neurologist but I refused to take it. The side effects seemed too scary. Allopathic medicine has no idea what the cause or cure is for autoimmune conditions. The reasons are many and in the end the answer is...

    Hyperacusis without the Pain

    I have constant ear fullness. I feels a little more in one ear than the other buts it's been the same way for 9 months. It can be hard to notice but when I am still and alone I can feel like a pulsating or something. It still feels like an injury had ocured. I also hear a crunchy type noise when...

    Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease (AIED)

    I contracted an autoimmune disease via a vaccination before my new hearing problems started ( I had mild T but it was not much of a bother ever ) and I would say it's certainly related. It had an effect on every single part of my body so why not my hearing too. My perspective is a little...

    Hyperacusis without the Pain

    When I noticed the title of this thread I became very interested as I currently feel like Hyperacusis without pain sort of describes my current situation at the moment. it's been 9 months and I am not really getting the sharp pains upon hearing sounds anymore. For a while the only thing I could...

    8 Months with Hyperacusis... Update

    Hi Juan, Thanks so much for sending a reply. I am also battling with Mercury poisoning so I don't know if it's related to that. I was seeing a chiropractor regularly until the end of the summer and nothing he did managed to help. I get plenty of exercise so I don't think it could be that...

    Why Isn’t TRT the Holy Grail?

    I just recently posted an update on my situation in another thread I started but all I can say is that when my Hyperacusis started I went to about a half dozen doctors and the same amount of Audiologists. I passed all my hearing tests and had no damage in my ears that could be seen. None of...

    8 Months with Hyperacusis... Update

    I was at a concert in a small club. Next day when I woke up it was like a true nightmare come to life. For the first few months my ears felt like lava was pouring out of them. I haven't done anything special all this time. Just trying to tough it out and live as close to normal as possible.

    8 Months with Hyperacusis... Update

    Hello my fellow sufferers ! Just wanted to give an update on my condition since a bunch of time has passed since I last posted. The Hyperacusis is actually getting better. I would say it's about 75 - 80 % healed. I was in really bad shape through the whole entire summer and I was very...

    Hyperacusis Only with Headphones?

    Could take some time for your ears to heal. I'm 5 months into this mess and I can almost listen at a normal volume again and the tin can sound is almost gone too. Things really didn't even begin to improve until some time during month 4.

    Lyme Disease — Cause of My Tinnitus, Hyperacusis, and Inner Ear Issues

    Could be Mercury poisoning as well. I think That's why I have all these problems. I'm chelating the mercury out of my body so we will see what happens in another year from now. I only just started trying to remove it from my brain. I'm sure there are deep stores of it in there going back to when...

    Using Benzodiazepines for the Rest of Your Life

    I don't really plan on touching any of this stuff. I've had the blasted H for over four months now and I'm not treating it in any way at all. I'm just trying to live as normal as possible. Seems to be working slowly. I can put dishes and silverware away again. It's still slightly irritating bit...

    Tapering Off Hearing Protection

    I've had the hyperacusis for around 4 months now. I use very little protection or as little as possible. Only when I really feel I can't take it. I hate wearing the ear plugs because it just increases the amount of fullness I have whenever I do and I really hate it so much. I work in Manhattan...

    Botox for Hyperacusis

    Interesting thoughts. In February 2016 my body went into an autoimmune condition like state after getting a vaccine. It's mostly had a big impact on my muscles ( weakness and pain ) I was seeing a chiro for a while and he always told me everything seems very tense.( right now the inside of my...

    Why Hasn't Long Term Use of Broadband Noise Improved My Hyperacusis?

    I'm currently trying to figure out what to do to try and treat myself. So far I have not come up with very much. I have been to five doctors in Manhattan and none of them really offered any treatment options at all. I saw one inner ear specialist who claimed to have hyperaccusis and tinnitus...

    How Can You Bring Down or Lessen Your Hyperacusis?

    That seems very interesting but if my wife see's me trying to build a laser to shoot into my ear I will be headed for divorce.

    Tinnitus Pro: Music Therapy iPhone App

    Anyone have any positive results with this ? I was just advised by a doctor to try it. I am a bit unsure if now would be the best time because I also have hyperacusis and music in general sounds like shit to me and I can't play it at even a medium volume.

    I feel like I actually had a setback today for the first time in weeks. I was doing so well tolerating all the sounds around me and have been pretty much without much pain( just a lot of fullness) until yesterday. All it took was some keys being tossed into a old coffee can. I can't even...

    Is Physical Ear Pain Common with Tinnitus?

    I went to a concer 11 weeks ago and my tinnitus got worse and I ended up with Hyperacusis to some extent too. The pain was really bad for at least 9 weeks.
