It was just a routine MRI request, the doctor said if I wanted to I can get it done just to rule anything out, that it's good to have for reference too, so I can compare scans in the future. I explained my hyperacusis symptoms and he just ignored it; he said I can't have it, "I'm too young". I...

Hi Michael. Thanks for you reply. Even though I expected the ENT to be of little help, I was still a bit shocked and taken aback by his dismissive attitude when it came to my concerns about the noise sensitivity I was experiencing. I told him I was even sensitive to cars driving past if the...

I won't ignore you, I am listening. And I'm so sorry you went through all this. It's horrible when we're often subjected to, what can only equate to, medical negligence. These doctors have no idea what the hell they're doing. They're often saying the wrong things, or just flat out dismissing...

So I finally got in to see an ENT yesterday. What a waste! He ordered an MRI to rule out anything serious, did a few checks, then said I'm fine and to learn to live with it. Also said I can't have hyperacusis because I'm too young (I'm 33), that only older people get it due to age-related...

I'm hoping it's headed that way. But honestly, it varies so much from day to day, I don't know what to think any more. I thought it was getting softer, but right now it's so incredibly high-pitched and screechy, somewhere between a tea kettle going off and a train screeching to a halt.

Thanks Mags. I appreciate your kind words. It's also oddly comforting to know that I'm not alone facing this, that there's other people that know what I'm going through. Sometimes having this condition can feel quite isolating, even the people closest to us don't truly understand what we're...

No real fading, more like change in the type of sounds I'm hearing. It has changed in tone and pitch since June though. I now have a tone in the left ear that wasn't there before - when it first began it was just my right affected... not sure if that's a good sign or not. There have been days...

My intrusive tinnitus is relatively new, I'm about 5 months in. I think I got tinnitus after falling asleep with headphones in. I woke up after a few hours, took them out (no noise at that time), went back to sleep, and woke up with tinnitus. I feel like I'm in a really dark place at the moment...
