Do you have hyperacusis and/or does the Ketamine make you more light/sound sensitive?

I was taking short term opioid. And commonly they give Midazolam.

So I'll be a little more personal than usual. I tried Ketamine lozenge 100 mg for chronic pain. I noticed my sound sensitivity and then later hyperacusis (there was construction noise outside) got worse. I was also on another drug that technically could affect hyperacusis. It was about two...

What dosages are you taking? I am on day two and I notice that when it kicks in my tinnitus gets a bit louder and then drops back off again. I also have that same effect when taking any benzos.

My tinnitus spiked after the second dose and then went back down again. I was wondering how your tinnitus is faring?

A good part of preventing hyperacusis once you already have it isn't being concerned about actual noise damage. Your ears are already abnormal the usual limits on decibels aren't really going to apply. You're concerned about if your ears are going to find a sound threatening or not. I find...

What kind of laser is this that we are talking about? Cold laser?

Go for it. I would recommend foam earplugs and earmuffs for the first trip and then if that's comfortable after a while then try to just use earplugs when you're driving. And if that's comfortable, I would use concert earplugs and then as those are getting comfortable you can change the strength...

Not only due to pain or fullness but any surprise loud sound, ringing or feedback can immediately create a setback. The noise is just way too close to your ears.

I'm not talking about sound masking your tinnitus. I'm talking about using nature sounds to get your ears more used to noise.

I think the quietness of the hearing protection makes you perceive the tinnitus more and therefore you're much more attuned to it once you remove the hearing protection as well.

I was once in your shoes. So here's my advice. In my opinion the hyperacusis is much more pressing of an issue than the tinnitus. In most cases tinnitus you can get used to. Hyperacusis can snowball very quickly each setback while your ears are too sensitive will push your condition further and...

Any updates? Just wondering how you're doing.

I actually was doing really great there are many times that I forgot I had this condition all together I slowly increase my tolerance by increasing the amount of sound via sound machine near my bed. I'm back on the forums because I had a setback after a loud church service. I just want to tell...

Thank you for the advice Michael. I was wondering, from all the stories you have heard, what are people's experience with hyperacusis and MRIs?

What happened?

Which MRI machine did you use?

What precautions did you take which MRI did you use, what hearing protection? I just got over really bad acoustic, I still have tentative but I can finally listen to things again. I injured my foot and they recommend that I get an MRI I really want to be able to walk again.

I don't know in regards to ototoxic medication but it is supposed to work independently of steroids if you do it soon after the trauma. I did want to ask you what MRI did you use that cause you the acoustic trauma. I'm going to have to get an MRI and I'm in the same boat / age you are after a...

How is everyone doing now? I have previously very bad hyperacusis that had finally improved but I seem to have torn or damaged a muscle in my foot and doctors want an MRI.

It's good to see you so optimistic Contrast.

Hi Michael! Thanks for answering. For me the pain hyperacusis is newish, so everything hurts give or take :') If headphones even over the ear noise canceling headphones make tentative hypoacusis worse, how do people fly, or use public transportation? I was told by my audiologist as long as I...

I have pain hyperacusis so I started wearing high fidelity earplugs under he headphones to control the highs and lows. though now I am just curbing my headphone usage since no matter what I do it seems to hurt even when its is so low you can't hear what they are saying.

I use the Bose headset. I love them! Is anyone still listening to music with hearing protection under thier noise cancelling headphones?

So I am a big headphone wearer. I started to get hyperacusis first with some tinnitus spikes and then the hyperacusis went away. Leaving me with the tinnitus. One year later I decided to go to the movies without hearing protection. I got a 18000 Hz tinnitus spike. When it did not go down after...

Hi!! I am debating going to a stadium concert and was wondering what do you do to make sure your t doesn't get worse?

It helped me! I did two rounds, saved my sanity helped lower both the t and h

Well hopefully Neuromod will help people soon but I am so happy you have found your peace. Do you feel like steroids helped you in the long run?
