    I'm Proof Hyperacusis Gets Better

    I noticed an improvement from the prednisone but I only took it for 1 day due to side effects... I still had it after and when traveling to noisy places always had my custom plugs by my side... When I was working I did not wear plugs... I struggled with hard things hitting hard surfaces... Over...

    I'm Proof Hyperacusis Gets Better

    Hey folks... It's been a while since I have been here... I am sure many of you new guys are wondering how us sufferers could ever not come here everyday but the truth is that in many cases your tinnitus improves to a slight degree (it should stabilize... at night it used to go crazy when I would...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I bought 50 shares... Best advice is don't be a pig and buy big... If the stock goes down you can buy more and your average cost is even less... If it goes up that's great but your average cost will still be less than what it is currently trading at.

    My Tinnitus Changed More Into White Noise from High-Pitched Whine

    Very good sign and is normal... The prednisone did the same to me... May change a bit when you get off of it... Overall it will be better to deal with as time goes on.

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    Come to think of it when I first got it there was a song I felt bothered my hyperacusis. It took some time for it to get better... what bothered me was this specific drum hit that had almost like a bell with it. So with that being said for now you may wanna take it easy... stick with White...

    Masking Definitely Makes My Tinnitus Worse but Not Masking Is a Torture

    Hate to say this to you but that is totally not the case for me. The more sounds the better. In the beginning I might have agreed with you... seemed like the volume control went through the roof as soon as I laid down... Definitely not the case anymore... I use white noise from my phone and...

    Will It Ever Be Possible to Listen to My Favorite Song Again?

    I hope you aren't wearing headphones... sell them.... otherwise I will tell you that music really shouldn't cause your tinnitus to get louder... I listen to music at various volumes (not super loud of course) and have had no issues.... you probably have hyperacusis and that is going to take at...

    Does Anyone Else Own Westone Ear Plugs?

    Also I want to add that everyone should get custom fitted musician plugs... they let sound in so you can still hear things unlike regular plugs that make you only hear your tinnitus... best of luck everyone

    Does Anyone Else Own Westone Ear Plugs?

    I have musician's ear plugs from Westone... The best investment you can make... I can adjust the filter between 15 - 30 dB protection... I do anything I want with them and take them with me all the time.

    A Request for Techniques/Tools to Reduce Anxiety Reaction to Tinnitus

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Not about money IMO. There are already plenty of people out there trying to figure our problem out. The reward is too big. Part of the problem is lack of understanding and awareness until the past 20 years and how complicated the brain and ear connection is.
