    Hyperacusis and TTTS Getting Better

    @SeanD5054 - slight ear fullness yes but now all gone and never heard robotic voices etc. Seven months down the line and any hearing issues are never on my conscience anymore, which is what dragged me into depression: the fear of being stuck with it for a lifetime. Some poor souls do have it...

    Hyperacusis and TTTS Getting Better

    @twa Much, much better thanks. Tinnitus was only really an occasional quiet low hum in my right ear and a flutter in my left ear. Barely hear hum now apart from at bedtime but too quiet to bother me. I think it was mostly psychological, i.e. being fixated with the problem. No ear pain at all...

    Hyperacusis and TTTS Getting Better

    Hi folks, I have been a longtime lurker on this forum and it has proved an invaluable lifeline to me after I developed hypercusis and TTTS since May this year. Like most people, our lives have been thrown upside down due to the impact of COVID-19 which only adds to our woes. A timeline of...

    @ShaunR if it's any comfort I no longer get ear pain, just ache and sensitivity. Symptoms have been since early May. Ear flutter less too.

    Sorry for not getting back to you on the other post, @ShaunR . My TTTs pain, as I put words in the mouth of yet another ENT, manifests in an irritated Trigeminal Nerve or the Stapedius / Tympanic Muscles overworking. Or it is referred pain from a neck nerve or C1 and C2 vertebrae. I don't get...

    Want Professional Help for Hyperacusis — Parents Think I'm Crazy: How to Proceed?

    They definitely fade. My symptoms started in early May this year and I only get minor feedback from stuff like dishes, paper bags and cutlery etc. I have TTTS with ear fluttering. My H is very mild but I do have ear fullness and a dull ache which was painful to start with some days. Recovery is...

    Want Professional Help for Hyperacusis — Parents Think I'm Crazy: How to Proceed?

    You are so young there is a significant chance of your symptoms improving. You need to have a professional have a word with your folks if they are not supporting you. Sleep as much as you can, eat healthily, bin the headphones for life and expose yourself to "tolerable" sounds only and rest...

    Ear Pain with TTTS but without Hyperacusis and Ringing Ears?

    These symptoms are indeed a complete enigma. Mine are much less severe than yours, even though developing TTTs I am sure it changes your sense of self identity. I also became Hyper Alert/Vigilant neurologically to the extent where I would always be on edge listening out for sounds. The positive...

    Tinnitus: 2 Weeks and a Half — From Loud Music or Ear Infection

    I had a middle ear infection which lasted 3 months until all the trapped fluid behind my ear drum dissipated. It will go away eventually: keep going!

    Ear Pain with TTTS but without Hyperacusis and Ringing Ears?

    Thanks @Orions Pain. I have done that very thing, though now reading in moderation to limit too much morbid reading. Definitely insightful though. Thanks for the tip!

    Ear Pain with TTTS but without Hyperacusis and Ringing Ears?

    Hi all, I think I've read the entire forum front and back about five times now. It's been very helpful. Anyone else out there with these niche symptoms? Have TTTS with just fluttering, no thumps or clicks - and ear pain (left only.) that settles to a dull ache some days - but stress/anxiety...

    Hey Linda - Like LiSass - I'm quite new to this world too, well since Mid May anyway. How are you coping? I suspect Ear Buds were the cause of my ear pain and TTTS / mild H (left ear only) which spikes with stress and some meds. Please let me know how you're doing. Stay strong and you, @LilSass...

    Anyone Have Moderate Hyperacusis? Crockery, Light Switches and Household Sounds Causing Discomfort

    Hi @T_Almost_Gone, Thankfully I don't have the full H shooting match and sound sensitivity is improving at glacial speed, quite a normal occurence after reading 100s of hours over the past 2 months on this lifeline forum. TTTS has been a big annoyance but this is now ebbing. My biggest issue...

    Also, unless you can pin your H down to a specific loud or continued noise exposure, recovery will be most likely. Count ourselves lucky v the full version of H. No more trolling! Just think of the guys in army combat and what they endure. I'm 42 so may recover.

    Great to hear! I've always suffered from insomnia, but stressed out worrying about the damage I may or may not have done. Getting over the guilt of wearing buds on long 4hr bike reads will take time. My case is mild as does seem yours. Only notice it indoors. You look a young guy and will...

    Hi Charburchar, From Edinburgh. I have similar symptoms to your H, largely a cause from Ear Bud overuse. All the usual vibes to plates and switches noises indoors etc. Outdoors is fine. Also low occasional drone in other ear. Like you, I have had a meltdown, off work and sleeping just 3hrs...

    Developed Severe Reactive Tinnitus After Yesterday's Acoustic Trauma

    Hi guys, Daft question perhaps but anyone managing to 'snatch' any sleep other than through meds? If so, how? I feel a fraud, compared with many of you, having mild H. My TTS also likes to party in the night and during stress. A

    Sudden Onset of External Sounds Being Too Loud — I Guess This Is Hyperacusis?

    Hi @Zigs. How are you now? I luckily have a mild version of H. Plastic bags, switches and pan lids give me vibrations. Enclosed in small rooms. Some ear pain today though abso no T. But absolutely no problem with TV, cars and planes etc. Outdoor noises etc. What is your level of intensity? A

    Anyone Have Moderate Hyperacusis? Crockery, Light Switches and Household Sounds Causing Discomfort

    Hi. Does anyone have what could be termed moderate hyperacusis? By this I mean not the full on ear-pain torturing form? Forgive my naivety because there are so many degrees of this vile condition. Mine is mainly discomfort in feedback from frequencies such as the usual crockery, light...

    Noise-Induced Hyperacusis and "Reactive" / Sound-Sensitive Tinnitus 80% Gone

    Wow, @Coffeebean! You have shed some light into my temple of doom. Thank you! Have been displaying all symptoms over the past 2 weeks and, to be honest, I have been shit-scared, anxious, depressed and even thinking those other dark thoughts. The paradox is that my hearing is ok, been tested, so...

    Threw Away My AirPods Today

    Best thing you ever did! I firmly believe I have developed mild H using ear buds while cycling many hours on my road bike during the spring. I'm only just starting to forgive myself; once this process is over I can begin the long bumpy road to habituation. First day started to feel more positive...
