    REVIEW: Round and Oval Window Reinforcement Surgery for Hyperacusis — The Silverstein Institute

    @Travis Henry, I’m sorry you’ve discovered the tinnitus and hyperacusis community! Hoping for your recovery. It seems you would be a good candidate, but definitely reach out to The Silverstein Institute and talk with Dr. Silverstein and Dr. Nayak to get their evaluation of your case. It’s...

    REVIEW: Round and Oval Window Reinforcement Surgery for Hyperacusis — The Silverstein Institute

    @Philip83, spikes, flutters, volume shifts from things as quiet as air vents or as loud as car horns. It can be very unpredictable too.

    REVIEW: Round and Oval Window Reinforcement Surgery for Hyperacusis — The Silverstein Institute

    Hey guys, sorry for being MIA. I didn't get notifications and just haven't gotten back in to check on how the discussion has been going. While I did have great results from the surgery, I'm still much in the same place I was before. I plug and muff up constantly and every time I go out. My...

    @Brian Newman, the hearing loss is only in the highest frequencies so not as bad as it seems. And yes, the tinnitus is largely unchanged.

    @Philip83, the 30-40 dB hearing loss I reported in my right ear was POST-op as a result of the surgery. The only loss that had shown in previous pre-op Audiograms was all less than 10 dB, which is not considered hearing loss. I posted an updated LDL test 30 days post-op but did not do a hearing...

    UPDATE, One-Month Post-Op: Hi all, As requested by The Silverstein Institute, I just had my one month post operation LDL test. This was the same LDL test I previously used in recent years showing 55-65 dB before getting the surgery. This test was slightly modified to match the testing method...

    @Mary97, I’m just over two weeks post-op and I can feel the fullness starting to fade so that’s a good sign. Also it seems that the taste side effect has disappeared. Other than that the tinnitus seems unchanged. I’ll continue to rest the next two weeks or so to hit the one month mark of rest...

    REVIEW: Round and Oval Window Reinforcement Surgery for Hyperacusis — The Silverstein Institute

    @Philip83, my reactive tinnitus was generally activated by bothersome noise. If one ear had too much it would flutter or spike letting me know that it’s time to rest or quit doing whatever I’m doing. I can’t tell any immediate difference post-op but I’m really hoping it improves with time. I’ll...

    Loudness hyperacusis. Although I’ve had many various feelings of discomfort, I wouldn’t describe it as real pain. In the acute stage I believe I had some burning feelings but those memories don’t stick with me too much.
