    Is Hyperacusis Psychological?

    My ent specialist said that the brain learns to adjust and turn the volume up if it knows it should be hearing a noise louder than it actually is, for example if you had ear plugs in while someone was talking, the brain knows it should be louder and so the internal volume goes up, also there are...

    How Do You Fix Poor Posture?

    Sit ups, back workouts at home or gym, and sitting up straight, don't let the shoulders slouch forward as much. Having a strong stomach and back help keep it straight a lot. It helps to find a personal trainer, and if it ever leads to pain a physical therapist is the best help.

    I feel your pain, something similar happened to me 3 days ago. It's hard not to feel like " i can't believe this happened" but i think it will get better for you. I don't think you have hearing damage from that, it should be safe with that distence and dispersal before reaching your ear. One...
