With my hyperacusis getting little better, those plugs are allowing me to be in the club once again which is surreal. Anyway, I'm still waiting for some cure that will help me hear just as before, but I'm less dramatic about that... Just please, don't scream into my ears :D- Dem

Caffeine Slows Down Hearing Recovery After Loud Noise Exposure
Im daily caffe drinker, but at day in and after trauma i've drank much more caffeine than usually. But maybe it's just coincidence, i have seen somewhere on this forum other studies suggesting that caffeine can protect hearing during noise exposure.- Dem

Hyperacusis Simulation?
This tinnitus example is so insane i don't think if one in thousand of tinnitustalk members ever experienced it like that. Hyperacusis is hard to simulate, in my experience it was(and now is again) like everything sounds normally, but you are getting uncomfortable at lower volumes.- Dem
