What does your tinnitus sound like? Mine is like a regular tv beep(which I'm somewhat habituated to) plus a slight flutter in both ears. This flutter is coming from some muscle in my ear going absolutely haywire 24/7. I mean what else can it be? Sometimes it becomes like a gushing sound. Which...
Have you considered getting your Tensor Tympani or Stapedial muscles cut? I read somewhere on another site that this can alleviate the symptoms of TTTS. I'm pretty sure all the things you're mentioning are coming from the trigeminal nerve being triggered by the middle ear muscles. I believe...
I'm 24 and I often feel depressed when I think about what 'could have been'. Yes I went to a few nightclubs and bars in my time before T but not nearly enough. Now with my H on top of it I feel like a nervous wreck sometimes. I realize it's counterproductive but I feel robbed of my happiness...
What makes you think you'll never hear music the same way ever again? I'm going through a H setback right now where I also hear music and pretty much anything tinny. Especially through speakers but I have hopes this will subside.
Sen, how are you holding up now? I read that you saw some improvement in your H and other symptoms youve been having? How are you coping? Or are these symptoms still there and as severe?
I'm under the impression hyperacusis might improve over time. Cured is a strong term as I believe in one shape or form you're always stuck with it. A setback can happen out of nowhere. But maybe that's just my experience.
As for the tinnitus I believe there is a link. In my case I hear...
It's hard to anticipate when a loud sound can occur. In those instances I'm always reminded that life has no checkpoint saves. Too bad right? :(. If only tho haha. Best of luck in getting better. I believe it will
Dankjewel voor reageren Karel. Fijn om te horen dat je er beetje aan hebt kunnen wennen. Merk je ook wat minder symptomen erdoor?(bv geen pijn). Ja heb het vanaf 2012 met terugval in 2014 en nu weer 1. Ben altijd al stresserig persoon geweest dus geen fijne combi. Kutste zijn nu wel bepaalde...
Hey Karel ik las jouw ervaring met hyperacusis en ik kan goed begrijpen hoe het voelt en wat het met je doet. Ik vroeg me af hoe het nu gaat met je? Hoe is het met je H en T? Ik heb sinds kort veel last van mijn hyperacusis en tinnitus waar het eerder altijd heel mild was. In mijn geval is het...
One thing I learned when it comes to loud noise exposure is to not sit idly by and let it happen. It's a natural reaction to just not be bothered by it but I would have done everything in my power to make it stop. I would have made him shut up or get myself out of the car lmao. Always put...
I've been dealing with a huge spike in my T and H lately due to stress from and loud noise exposure. It seems whenever I'm depressed, anxious or frustrated it all goes right to my ears. Anyway I've slowly come to accept my aggravation(after some frustrated days mind you). I started noticing that...
BUT there is a whole other spectrum to this which is once tinnitus is introduced it can mess with people's minds. I once heard a story about a girl who went to a concert and got so scared to get T she eventually developed it due to basically freaking out and so forth. Tinnitus is a very strange...
I recently aggravated mine by loud noise exposure and made it worse due to stress:P I was doing pretty well before that tho. Only had a very mild case of it. How loud would you say yours is?
Hey I noticed you're quite young as well for having this condition. If you ever need someone to talk to. I myself am going through a rough patch lately with my T so I know how you're feeling. How old are you if you dont mind me asking?
Yes stress can cause tinnitus. At least in my case. It started with a strange fluttering noise in my right ear which turned into a hissing sound in both ears after a panic attack and periods of stress and anxiety. Has something to do with certain levels of stress which can damage the nerves of...
Hey Jade! I actually had very mild tinnitus since the summer of 2012 which didn't bother me very much since I was able to live my life pretty well actually.
It has only been recently I made it worse after a long period of stress, anxiety and loud noise exposure that made me experience...
How does it react with foods though I wonder? Today I was very relaxed and ate like a bag of M&Ms which I read afterwards that apparently chocolate has a negative effect on hyperacusis as well. Hopefully temporary once the chemical reactions wear off I guess. I hate it though haha. When I just...
Thank you for your kind words Mark. I'm grateful for this forum to be here for moral support. Of course I talk about it with my folks and nearest too but since you guys suffer from the same condition it feels you're able to understand my pain my a little more. At this moment after a hectic few...
Thanks Mark, I just had some anxiety about some stupid stuff I posted on facebook and all. I was feeling quite well at the time but then I made it worse by having some dumb anxiety about total senseless stuff. And I have noticed my T has spiked up as well as my H. Yet I was able to sleep a...
I'm such an idiot though. Like usually most things don't bother but once you make a connection in your brain that anxiety spikes up your t and h everything seems to make you anxious. God I hate this so much. I just don't wanna become a hermit for the rest of life avoiding everyday life and noise.
I know I'm trying to relax as much as I can but since I also have developed some sort of hyperacusis I was just wondering if everything is suppose to be this loud. Or if it at least will ease down volumewise. I'm sorry I'm such a stresschicken. I just had a rough couple of days is all. But I get...
Can anxiety cause a highten sense of sound that will stay forever or will it die down a little? I'm kinda worried at the moment and try to relax but keep thinking it's gonna get worse. I already notice sounds are becoming louder... Thoughts anyone?
Actually I was riding my bike.. And I only managed to cover my right ear a bit. Which is why my left ear is feeling kinda weird now. I passed it on my left as well. I really oughta be more careful next time. :facepalm::inpain::banghead:
Usually I don't worry aabout it as much it's just that my ears are quite sensitve lately because of previous anxiety attacks and such. So that's why I'm freaking out a little. But I guess time can only tell really. .
I just passed by some construction being done on the road and I'm freaking out right now. Since I'm JUST in the middle of a spike done by stress and medicine. OMG I should've just turned around but I didn't think it was gonna be AS loud. I'm currently trying to calm down but holy shit. I was...
Y'all love Elias. Oh, you wanna kick ass. Yeah. Well, here I am, all by my lonesome, and ain't nobody gonna know. Six of you boys against me. Kill me. Huh. I shit on all of you. - Sgt. Barnes, Platoon
My favorite character of all time haha
Patrice O'Neal was and still is my favorite person in the world. Not only an amazing stand up performer but just a true inspiration on how to look at life. Although I don't share his view on women per se I think his way of calling phony people out is just terrific.
I'm pretty sure the combination of chamomile and the oxazepam did it for me. I don't think oxazepam on itself caused the aggravation. My only hope is that it's only temporary. But my ears were very sensitive due to stress beforehand so I don't know. Guess it's just something I have to deal with...
A combination of oxazepam and chamomile tea. Which sucks because you feel very relaxed but my T increases tremendously. It happened yesterday and still hasn't died down..
Thing is I felt nearly sedated because of the combination which is why I think my T spiked up. I felt no stress or anxiety at all.. I read somewhere that certain sedatives cause tinnitus so idk. Plus I almost constantly feel like my ears are about to pop.
I have been taking serax(oxazepam) for about a week or so to fight my anxiety concerning my tinnitus which has worsened last week. Now yesterday afternoon I drank a large glass of chamomile tea not really thinking much and it made me feel super-relaxed. Almost euphoric. Felt awesome.
But...
