Thank you, man; it’s just hard sometimes when I feel so down. I just need to trust in God and know I have better in store for me. Is your hyperacusis to the point where you don’t have to protect everywhere?

Does hyperacusis get better? I’ve had tinnitus for 5 years and that has got better, but I developed hyperacusis 4 months ago and it’s so much worse than my tinnitus. I’m so isolated. I feel like I’m going to lose everything :(

Preface: I have really never dealt with what I would call hyperacusis until recently. I have had tinnitus for a little over five years now, and I was doing good until I had a tinnitus spike in September of 2023. The tinnitus spike is honestly much better, and I would say it is 90% back to...

Thank you man. I have been wearing custom molded ER-25 earplugs all day when I am out of the house, and can't control my sound environment. I feel like this has been helping my ears heal. Do you think it's okay that I am going to restaurants and hanging out with friends? I have the earplugs in...

Thank you very much.

What clinic in Tennessee is it? I'm interested in trying this.

I don’t believe so, I was only 18 at the time. I used to listen to music fairly loud, so that could be it. I just remember waking up from a nap one day after school and my left ear felt weird and over the next couple of days the ringing got worse. I’ve never really dealt with that much...

Hey, my tinnitus did get better after the surgery for a little while, probably about a year. Although now, I am currently going through a four month spike that has made me get bad hyperacusis as well, which, as of right now, is worse than the tinnitus. I don't know if all this is a result of the...

@Brian Newman, I have the same tingling but it feels like it’s in my middle ear and around my neck. My hyperacusis seemed to have started around a week and a half ago. I’ve always had sound sensitivity since getting tinnitus about 5 years ago. Does this sound like noxacusis?

@Mister Muso, what was the timeline for you to get to where you are now? I'm really struggling with hyperacusis right now.

@gameover, I have been trying not to overprotect but I keep getting accidentally exposed to loud noises. I went to pay for parking in a parking lot and a Mustang right next to it started up and since then my left ear has been feeling so bad, I feel like it’s noxacusis. It just constantly hurts...

It seems like after I take Prednisone, it makes the hiss worse for a little bit, although it used to calm it down so I don't know, maybe I am just anxious and everything seems to make it worse.

Around 2 months ago I woke up to a spike that has persisted until today. What is really weird though is that some days are better than others, while some days suck really bad. I have this pulsating hiss that comes and goes, it will stay for a couple of days, then leave for a couple of days...

My tinnitus recently spiked. I'm wondering if I should try to find a doctor who does intratympanic Dexamethasone injections. My original cause of tinnitus was SSHL; back then I had one of these shots and it seemed to help.

Yea man, I feel the same way. Has it gotten any better since it first spiked?

Is there anything I could try that maybe has worked for you? It's just gotten to the point where it is affecting my sleep and it hasn't done that much before. Have you had bad spikes that have come back down?

I am in a spike right now too. Praying for you man.

Do you think I should take Prednisone or could it be a contributing factor?

Backstory: I have had tinnitus for around 5 years now. I was more or less habituated with a couple of bumps here and there until a little over 3 weeks ago. I had a lot of trauma all at once, I suppose. I got an MRI for issues with my shoulder (I wore double hearing protection), I went to this...

I’ve gotten a tinnitus spike after having jaw surgery to fix my underbite. My surgery was 22 days ago, it didn’t start bothering me until about a week or so after. I feel so stupid. I should have not risked it, because I had finally gotten to a place in my life where my previous tinnitus was...

I recently had upper jaw surgery and it feels as if my tinnitus is worse, and currently my left ear won’t pop. I had tinnitus before the surgery and I shouldn’t have taken the risk to make it worse. Can someone help that has been through this?

Did you ever end up getting the surgery? I had my upper jaw moved forward and it feels worse after. But I am only like 3 weeks post op.

Yea, I feel the same way. It is making me feel weird and making my ringing change (not in a good way)

I will consider, they are starting to make me feel weird. Thanks Josh

Can I just stop them cold turkey, I’ve been on them for some time.

I have been on prednisone for about the past 3 weeks. It is starting to make me feel weird. My muscle are aching and so are my bones. As well when I take my left ear will have a pulsating buzz. That might not be related though. What are thoughts? What should I do? Thanks Josh

This is not your typical success story. But, this has helped me, I hope it will help all of y’all I really do love what these forums are trying to be. They, definitely, helped me at first when I didn’t know the answers and I couldn’t find any either. The people can help you on here, for some...

So, get pure turmeric powder? Not the capsule supplements.

No, I don't have a before, but my 6k frequency was at a 5o, and after steroids it went to a 10, which is above average. I was saying, though, is there any way to know if it is damaged synapses or damaged hair cells? And, what is the difference? As well my T started in one ear, and now it is...

Is there any way to know? My onset was due to the SSHL and I had lost in my 6k frequency in my left ear, but that came back to "normal" after the steroid cycles and the steroid shots.

When I had the spike I was in "prayer meeting", its when we all get together and pray; its very quite and the only person talking is the pastor or the person praying at that time. And, there is no mics or anything. I will try to stop going to the main service were there is loud music and the...

So, last Wednesday I was sitting in church listening to the sermon, and I had a spike in my tinnitus in my right ear. This is normal, I have spikes every so often that last a few seconds. And this one, like the usually, only lasted a few seconds. But, after I started to develop this whistle that...

is this the one you use?

No, I would go to a Christian counselor. Thank you, again.

Thank you so much for your advice! I have been trying to be strong. I am only 18, so I can’t have red wine. I wear maskers, but this new sound is being so odd. It’s not like it’s loud. It just spikes up the more noise there is. I’m praying it will fade in a couple days or at least blend in with...

To start, I have had tinnitus since March 2019, and it has been a pretty rocky road. My tinnitus was caused by sudden sensorineural hearing loss, which was suspected to be from a virus in my inner ear. I have been blessed to have recovered my hearing( at least within normal speech ranges). And...

I will be praying for you... and all the people on here

Thank you guys so much for the post, I truly hope and pray it will... God is amazing❤️

Thank you so much for your reply... I will try magnesium tablets.

About two weeks ago I woke up from a nap with a buzzing in my left ear, muffled hearing, and ear fullness, and over the next couple of days it developed into a ringing. I went to an ENT a couple days after the onset, and they diagnosed it as SSHL because I had a mild hearing loss in one...
