It can be ototoxic, yes. But I've never heard of anyone getting a permanent spike from it, just temporary ones.

Certainly is a theme around here, yes.

I don't need you to. Your words speak for themselves what kind of person you are. It's too bad that so many people have poured their heart out over your suffering only for you to post this toxic stuff to a person who really needs help.

How can you truly get rid of anxiety when anything can make you worse?

Want to talk to H people. Soon as I load the H facebook support groups I just close. Instant anxiety.

Signs of eardrum perforation: Sudden ear pain that quickly subsides Feeling of liquid in ear Though sometimes asymptomatic. You could go to the doctor for an actual answer and in the meanwhile use cotton balls in your ear while you shower.

Yes. Some of you did. For others like me, our life was over before it really got a chance to start.

It was a suggestion, not a demand.

I can agree that anxiety and spinal problems contribute but I think most people's tinnitus is from noise. Most people have a clear link to a sound event that caused their tinnitus.

I think you are right that these things can help. We know that spinal problems can contribute and that anxiety and stress can ramp up our symptoms. I suppose I am curious about what treatments are available to sound induced hyperacusis/medicine induced hyperacusis as these are pieces to the...

This thread provided me with a lot of relief when I posted it. But remembering the words here is also what lead me to worsened hyperacusis. (4 months in, no improvement) Maybe it's not harmful if you just have tinnitus. But if you have hyperacusis certain sounds are capable of triggering damage...

For tinnitus. Not for hyperacusis. If your hyperacusis is worse than your tinnitus then quality of life is still awful following a tinnitus cure. Most of you probably have some measure of amplification hyperacusis or so many here wouldn't spike so much.

What were the injections for?

@AZeurotuner @Agrajag364 @TLion @Bam It appears I have gotten some flak for my little post. Well then, to start out, believe it or not, Jemima being 6 months in is a detail I missed. Unsure why. Perhaps it was from lack of sleep or lack of concentration. Maybe I was feeling rushed but didn't...

I mean, firecrackers aren't real loud unless they go off right next to you, right? It's fireworks that you want to watch out for I thought??

@AZeurotuner I am different from other H people. I go to the grocery store, I hold down a job, I hardly use ear protection. (Cont)

Well. Let's just say I know a way. ;) And I will leave it at that.

Unlike tinnitus, I see no hope of future treatments for hyperacusis. There's nothing for us. What could a H person possibly cling to.

Yes, yes, this. I've in the past wondered how such a high percentage of women die during childbirth pre-modern era could make sense on an evolutionary level. Surely, it would be more beneficial in nature to have both parents. But evolution doesn't care about the life of the adult, only that it...

Well, I wouldn't call that normal, no. You don't know what caused your T? Have you seen an ENT?

Hey, just my opinion and not what you or your sweetie want to hear, but I think concerts should be off the table for the forseeable future unless we find a cure. It's not to be anti-fun. Most people without debilitating T and H should still be able to enjoy sound. But concerts play at a level...

@Lane has given some good advice recently about experimentation. If I hadn't taken a break from white noise, my T could still be very loud. I just had a hunch and went with it. I can't say if what worked for me worked for you but I've taken what he's said about trying new things and seeing if...

I don't think any of us can say for sure if anything is permanent or if hearing loss occurred. Car running and scraping is quite a normal sound, though. I think your H spike is making you go through something you haven't experienced before. To me everything you've described sounds related to H...

Yep, also Type O.

Not sure I understand. Are you saying the car just now gave you a new tone? My personal thoughts are that hyperacusis does make us spike/get permanent spikes easier. That's just my opinion based on what I've seen around the forums. Some people also get new tones easier than others, I've...

I don't think this is a very helpful thing to tell newcomers, especially the underlined part. While I don't believe optimism has anything beyond mild healing capabilities, pessimism is has been shown to be outright inhibiting even outside tinnitus. A long time sufferer saying stuff like "You...

We have to take care of ourselves to properly love others. That means finding happiness, self-confidence, self love, not being chronically depressed etc. Some can endure and go on despite being tired, others are unable to endure and because of this relationships can suffer. I have even more...

I like my eggs raw. I'm not dead yet and it doesn't have any impact on my tinnitus.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Wow. Can we keep this on file for whenever someone quotes a table of acceptable db levels/durations. 85-90 db for 8 hours is supposed to be "safe."

Almost 4 months into worse H and I can't get through a movie without my face erupting in fiery, awful pain

Also quoting my own post to expound on this. Some years ago I randomly went to an allergist because of my chronic sneezing fits and was curious if I was allergic to anything. It was mostly for the curiosity though. At the time I also had bad rosacea and bad cystic adult acne. I found out...

You're a bit old fashioned, Michael. I am glad that TT is open for everyone as tinnitus certainly doesn't discriminate based on class or any other demographic. You may see it as crass and rude, this type of humor, but others might see your own behavior as uptight and mirthless. I have to...

@Bill Bauer , @Finnigan could be right! But maybe don't give up eggs just yet? I definitely recommend every adult get tested for allergies. Allergied develop over time, even if we never had them as children. Most people are allergic to something yet don't have any clue about it. If you get...

How do I handle noise at a restaurant? Simple, I don't. I choose not to go because they give me bad T and H spikes that last for weeks. I did go to a restaurant recently. It was a family owned Vietnamese restaurant at 2pm. No music playing, only customer in building. Now that was a restaurant...

Eric, I think you must have hyperacusis. Also, I responded to your post the other day. I said that db meters are better for constant noises like social gatherings than impulse noises. This level of paranoia is unhealthy. Remember anxiety helps keep tinnitus in place. I'm not doubting that you...
