    Worsening Hyperacusis from Running?

    Nope not daily as it is a benzo and I don't want to become physically dependent. Twice a week with a 2-3 days in between

    Worsening Hyperacusis from Running?

    Depending on where you live, you could look into Etizolam as it is legal in most of the USA. Very similar to Xanax, but I actually prefer Etizolam over it. Significantly helps with my H pain, burning, and sensitivity. PM me if you have any questions about it.

    Earplugs in the Shower (the Occlusion Effect): Don't Do It!

    Do you guys get an immediate spike after your showers?? That's so scary, because I love showers and find that a warm shower will actually alleviate my symptoms for an hour or so afterwards. Not sure if it's from the warm water loosening tense muscles, or just the sort of white noise the shower...

    Hyperacusis, As I See It

    As in doctors?? I've seen a few GPs and they cleaned some earwax and said my ears looked fine. Going to see an audiologist and probably an ENT soon. Doubt they will be of any help. For emotional support basically nobody understands except people on here and the hyperacusis facebook page. It's a...

    Does Anyone Else Have a Feeling of Burning on the Top of the Head?

    Burning Ears Discomfort

    Our symptoms sound identical. Do you also get a cold menthol feeling in your ears?? My ears have been feeling like they are bruised too lately. I also get burning and sometimes a shooting pain on my scalp above my ears. The delayed reaction is so weird too, I don't understand why this happens...

    Xanax (Alprazolam) Eliminates Symptoms (Tight Feeling in Ear, Burning Ear Pain)?

    I'm fully aware of the addiction potentials and side effects of benzos. Does it specifically state why they shouldn't be used for tinnitus?

    Xanax (Alprazolam) Eliminates Symptoms (Tight Feeling in Ear, Burning Ear Pain)?

    Is yours constant or only around sounds ?? Do you get an instant pain from noises ? Have you tried any medication?

    Xanax (Alprazolam) Eliminates Symptoms (Tight Feeling in Ear, Burning Ear Pain)?

    I'm not sure, my tinnitus is very very mild (thankfully) so I can't comment on that. It can definitely help sufferers get some sleep, but I would look into something like ambien instead if you are really struggling. Better yet melatonin, but that doesn't work for some people. I've heard horror...

    Xanax (Alprazolam) Eliminates Symptoms (Tight Feeling in Ear, Burning Ear Pain)?

    I have some Xanax on hand for an underlying anxiety disorder (had this more many years before these ear symptoms), and I realize when I take it, my symptoms all go away (tight feeling in ear, burning pain). Also I just don't react to noises at all - I usually am tensing up my neck and shoulders...

    How Would You Describe the Feeling of Ear Fullness?

    I've heard it described as that feeling you get when descending in an airplane... so kinda like that feeling when you're sick and congested and you cant "pop" your ears? My symptoms would more accurately be described as a tightness or even a swollen feeling in my ear canal, and always on the...

    Did Your Pain Hyperacusis Set in Gradually or Was It Fairly Instant?

    Did you find that Xanax helped you?? I have some for anxiety and it seems to help my ear burning/neck tension pretty well. I only use it when I really need to though.

    Burning Ear Pain That Comes and Goes...

    Hi Dr Nagler, I've been having some symptoms after a loud concert at the end of October 2019. I didn't notice any symptoms until a day after the concert, when things started sounding a bit louder and overwhelming. This went away after a couple of weeks. About a week later I got some fullness in...

    Could the Loud Ear Popping Sensation I Hear Be Caused by Hyperacusis?

    Yeah that sound is your eustachian tube opening, and is probably squeaking because they are inflamed or they are lined with mucus and they are sticking together. I've been dealing with weird pressure in one of my ears too, and sometimes get a very subtle ticking sound every 10 or 20 seconds. Do...

    Where in the Ear Is Your Pain Felt?

    Hey serendipity, thanks for your reply. Our symptoms sounds very similar. I too had the tight feeling in my ear, but that seems to have gotten better this past week or so. How would you describe your fullness feeling?? Like you couldn't hear out of the ear? My ears were burning pretty bad last...

    Where in the Ear Is Your Pain Felt?

    Was just wondering what part of the ear most people experience pain from their hyperacusis/TTTS. Is it deep in the ear canal? I feel like mine is in the outer cartilage part of my ear... Mostly burning feeling with some aching. Thanks.

    Constant Pain in the Left Ear

    Hope the ear feels better man. Good to hear your regular ear pain hasn't been acting up lately though. I'm sure it'll be back to normal soon since it's just from accidentally hitting your ear.

    No Ear Pain from Noise, Just Pressure in Ear?

    My symptoms pretty much completely disappear when I go swimming at my apartment's pool. I wonder if it's from the low noise levels (nobody is usually there) or me taking my mind off of shit.. Or maybe the cold water soothes my tight muscles.. :dunno:

    No Ear Pain from Noise, Just Pressure in Ear?

    Hello everyone. So I've been experiencing strange ear problems for almost 3 months now. Thankfully the burning feeling stopped a few weeks ago, but now I'm left with a slight pressure/tight feeling in my ear. It seems to be relieved by equalizing pressure (valsalva, or opening mouth wide) but it...

    Thanks for the reply MrCrybaby :) I only had a muffled feeling for a couple of days when I first got these symptoms (2 months ago) Now it's just a mild discomfort, Its really hard to explain the feeling. Never had immediate pain from noises or tinnitus. I read you previously had hyperacusis...

    Other Types of Ear Pain Besides Pain Hyperacusis?

    Maybe it's related to anxiety/obsessing over this problem and subconsciously tensing muscles in my ear? I've struggled with anxiety and panic attacks for years, but why would it only affect my right ear? I also believe I have some problem with my eustachian tube. I sometimes get a very faint...

    Other Types of Ear Pain Besides Pain Hyperacusis?

    Yeah, I cant really pinpoint what brings on the pain, it's okay in the mornings and nights but when I'm at work I feel it slowly building throughout the day. Is your pain 24/7? How did your pain start? Thanks for responding.

    TTTS for a Long Time, Now Hyperacusis? It's Worrying Me
