Do you hear yours over everyday noises? Mine was mild to start with but it has further reduced. My anxiety towards it made it worse though. Once I'd accepted it and started to sleep better, everything gradually got easier.

Hope everyone is okay. It can get better :)

Havent been here for a while. Hope everyone is okay

I had a while off the forum and just checking in. Good to see this thread is as argumentative as always. What's the general view on Neuromod so far?

Feel almost back to normal now. Back cycling, playing football and sleeping isn't too bad either. It can get better :)

Try not to give up. You're still early into the battle. It does tend to get better for most people. Good luck mate.

I don't think street noise is 125 dB, from my understanding that's louder than a chainsaw.

I was an absolute mess for the first 3 months. Barely slept, constantly checking for my tinnitus, ears burning and they felt full. 8 months in and I have no emotional response other than when i hear it thinking that it’s irritating at most. I’m lucky mine's quite mild and I think if it is most...

I’d say mine is a 2/3. I don’t hear it at work etc. I used to but it’s calmed a bit.

Can’t say for definite as I didn’t have that. I do believe that hyperacusis can subside though

I didn’t have any balance issues from memory. Just a full feeling with burning pain in my ears. I believe it can get better but it’s slow. When I first had the issues I was certain it was for life but it wasn’t.

Hyperacusis has improved significantly. Can't remember the last time my ears hurt or felt full. Only outstanding symptom is my ear spasm/click when hearing certain noises. It no longer hurts but the sensation is still there...

Congratulations. Enjoy it :)

@PeteJ I hope things improve for you. How could the members of this forum help you?

I’ve started using Wind-Blox. If you angle them right it does cut down the noise. Not by the 80% advertised but it definitely makes enough of a difference for me.

Sorry are we expecting them to add biochemical processes onto their website? And are we expecting them to assume people will even understand that if they did?

Sleep is almost back to normal. 7/8 hours straight the last 4 nights

How do you know they would reject you?

Not sure what migrants have to do with anything?

Everyone is different. See how you get on in different situations. But don’t become a recluse. Live your life.

@MarkX I think its around a 2 or 3 out of 10 most of the time. I dont notice it when im at work or out and about. I find cycling completely takes my mind off it

Small update if anyone is interested! I'm now 7 months into my T and ear pain journey and I'm happy to report that my situation continues to improve. My emotional response to the T has subsided greatly so if anyone is in the early stages don't give up hope! I'm now sleeping for a good 7/8 hours...

@unknownpleasures I'm on Xbox. Usually play Ultimate Team.

Woke up today to actual silence. Plugged my ears and I still wasn’t sure I could hear it. Anyone else ever get this ?

Not a great nights sleep but bad nights are less common these days. Guess I should be thankful for that ...

First proper bike ride since T . No ear pain etc so all good hopefully !

@Digital Doc agreed. He was pretty knowledgeable but mainly spoke of dr sensitisation. But either way it was nice to talk to someone who had heard of it

Amazingly he had heard of hyperacusis and we had a good half hour chat about it

Well today was my reflex test appointment. I explained my symptoms to the audiologist and he suggested it was a bad idea to do it so I didn’t have it done.

@MattR yes on some days it was almost constant. Tingling/burning sensations as well. It came back for a week or so but it’s Gone again for the last few weeks

I’ve had mine for 6 months in total. Pain went away about 4/5 months in. Spasms to noise are still here though

So busy moving house today and yesterday I’ve barely noticed my T :0

Had quite a few quiet mornings when waking up . Hope this is a good sign

MMP?

Ageee with all of those things apart from trolling success stories. Cannot see the point in that personally

There’s also a poll on here something like 60% of people didn’t have any bad effects ? Not disputing that it has affected some though...

To rule out a tumour. They also suggested an acoustic reflex test but I think I’ll pass on that one

Why the hostility? I’ve only stated I’ve had one with double protection and had no ill effects ?

It’s hard to tell. I had foam ear plugs in that they provided and then over ear defenders. It would have been loud without those

Just had my MRI. No bad effects that I’ve noticed. It was a new hospital so I’m guessing it was a modern machine.

@Lynny completely agree. The initial stages of tinnitus are terrifying I found myself re reading success stories as they have me hope.

How do topics like this always end up in a contest of who has got it severe and who hasn’t :confused:
