    Broken Ear or Hyperacusis (Distortion)? Most External Noises Sound Distorted

    Hey, how are you guys all doing? For me the distortions seem to come and go. I have had periods where they disappear for a while and then return like there is a higher power tormenting me. Like a kid with magnifying glass by an ants nest. But after after 2 years I can say that they have...

    Reactive Morse Code / Typewriter Tinnitus

    Mine seems to come and go. I’ll completely forget about and then it just comes out of nowhere. This pattern makes me wonder if it’s hearing damage or not. Why would it be inconsistent if it’s a product of permanent damage? Is anyone else the same?

    Strange Hearing Distortion/Dysacusis?

    From what I have seen 90% of people just disappear from this forum. If we are staying positive, this means that they have moved on with their life. There are definitely a few people on here that have claimed they go away. I have had the distortions for just under a year. The severity has...

    There was always going to be pain in life anyway. That was a certainty. I think we will still get enjoyment and fulfillment out of life and we can still be excited about the future. This is our crazy life and all we can do is take it one day at a time. I will get back to you about the TTTS we...

    I take courage from my cousin who has schizophrenia. He hears voices in his head telling him to kill himself. He still pushes on everyday, for 5 years now. He takes celebrates the small improvements and is still grateful to be alive and has made some adjustments in his life.

    Here in Melbourne, Australia we have a highly regarded Audiologist, Myriam Westcott she suggested based on her research that it is TTTS. So it is at the very least comforting to put a name to this condition. I used to also get these sensations. Can I ask Vermillion out of curiosity, have you...

    You will find quite a few members on here that have had it go away. So I think we should stay hopeful at the very least. I was able to get a hold of my anxiety by reducing outside stress and exercising.

    Hi Louise and Vermillion. Yes the distortions are still there they have been with me since the beginning, around ten months ago. Some people believe they are a byproduct of something called ttts. In my case, other symptoms of ttts will occur right along side the distortions so I think that there...

    Severe Hyperacusis Spike in One Ear from a Hair Clipper Dropping Onto the Tile Floor (105dB)

    Well thats good news. Sounds like you are taking the right course of action. Bathrooms have been a real danger zone for me also. The other week I slipped and dropped a vase on the tiles in a small compact bathroom. haha

    Hey bro how is your journey coming along? I read a few of your posts and I was wondering how the hyperacusis is going. Also, I have been smoking weed to help take the edge off and it never spiked my tinnitus. It can spike my attention to it but I just remind myself of what is happening there.

    Tinnitus Has Faded, Other Symptoms Persist (Internal Tremors, Sound Sensitivity, Eye Floaters)

    I have the same symptoms. Im unsure if my cause was stress or noise trauma, maybe a combination of the two. I can tell you that 10 months down the road after unloading a lot of external stress and exercise the tremors have stopped and the tinnitus is pretty much gone. The eye floaters kind of...

    Hi Bill You're a good man, you have spread so much positive advice over this forum from what I have seen since grazing over it from august last year.

    Hi, Sorry to hear that it sounds like a nightmare. I have had a similar incident and I was wondering if the H has subsided for you? This is my first H spike and I am wondering if it fluctuates or this is my new reality.

    Broken Ear or Hyperacusis (Distortion)? Most External Noises Sound Distorted

    Wow that's horrible. So the initial cause was the dentist? It must have been loud. Have you noticed any improvement during the 4 months? When you say reative does the sound continue after the external noise stops?

    Broken Ear or Hyperacusis (Distortion)? Most External Noises Sound Distorted

    Yeah unfortunately I have no choice but to agree with you there man. But this answer isnt good enough for the anxious and sometimes irrational human mind haha. So I try and take some comfort from particular patterns and behavior of others to try and put myself in a group.

    Broken Ear or Hyperacusis (Distortion)? Most External Noises Sound Distorted

    Thanks for the response. How long have you experienced the distortions for? What about tinnitus, were you dealt a bad case of that along side it, or is it pretty mild or barely audible?

    Strange Hearing Distortion/Dysacusis?

    Man! This thread has pulled me out of a very lonely, scary hole. I have the exact same thing! Whenever a car drives past, whenever I hear the fridge or the tap run I get a morse code distortion. I was already dealing with anxiety from the tinnitus and hypercusis and this one has just been...

    Anyone with Tinnitus in the Los Angeles Area?

    Hey I think that's the hardest part. You feel so alone and worst of all no one empathises with you, I actually had one of my best friends call me a coward. All of the sudden Ive been thrown into a life where I need to ask people not to slam doors around me, I'm wearing ear muffs and I feel...

    Hi My Name Is Myles — Tinnitus Started After a Night Out in a Very Loud Bar

    I not too sure what that way is yet. As for the crippling anxiety and depression, I've been here before. I know that it takes a fair amount of human spirit. Healthy eating and exercise is your first base. I used to really on music from my headphones to help give me a push with these things haha...

    Hi My Name Is Myles — Tinnitus Started After a Night Out in a Very Loud Bar

    All to gain. Like I said I had never heard of tinnitus until it turned my life upside down a few weeks ago. I just finished up reading a report about a lot of veterans rated it as the number two disability. Could you have ever imagined such a nightmare could exist? Can I ask, have you found...

    I have been reading the posts on here for a few weeks now. Some of the stories have made my heart sink, I am struggling to believe that some of these conditions can exist to a level where I am sure it would get the better of me. I was advised to stay away from these forums and it's clear why...
