I smoke tobacco rarely through a pipe and I do inhale. When I do, I notice my ear problems do increase but slightly and for not long. The tinnitus is louder but easier to ignore, the hyperacusis is much harder to ignore, and the fullness increases. Pain can sometimes get worse but sometimes be...

Let us know how it goes and if you think the Prednisone was helpful at all!

I’ve read multiple accounts of people having their hyperacusis “cured” in the ear affected. Again, the surgery is a destruction of what causes you to detect noise. As far as I know hyperacusis involves noise being louder than normal, distorted, and cause pain. If the noise can’t be detected then...

Again I think this has to be looked at different from normal deafness. This is a complete destruction of everything that allows you to comprehend sound. If the tinnitus is in the ear itself and doesn’t have to do with the brain then this should cure it theoretically. I’ve read things that for...

Possibly nerve damage or pain hyperacusis spreading throughout your neck and jaw. The jaw popping is alarming however. Go see an ENT and make sure they examine your jaw. Maybe have an MRI or X-ray done.

Time for another update as things have once again changed. So recently I’ve noticed my bad ear’s tinnitus is almost as low in volume as the other good ear. This is huge for the tinnitus in the other ear Is so low volume I never even noticed it before my incident. The bad ears ring is although...

As far as I am aware it completely gets rid of hyperacusis. Tinnitus is a 50/50 shot. If the tinnitus is 100% in the brain or nerve then it won’t help. If it’s specifically due to the hair cells then it will. The surgery is a total destruction of your inner ear. If there is no sound being...

Well in extremely severe cases I’ve seen reports of people undergoing labyrinthectomy surgery for hyperacusis. The surgery is normally done for very bad Ménière’s cases. It’s not exactly a cure but it does eliminate all symptoms. Just at a great cost for it completely deafens whatever ear they...

I’m pretty fresh in this. I have had my tinnitus for 2 1/4 months, pain hyperacusis started about 2 weeks into the tinnitus. After about a month of only using hearing protection when I noticed distortion, I started having my symptoms get severely worse to the point where the pain was...

I have a buddy who began suffering tinnitus half a year ago. Nothing too bad and his tinnitus was first in 1 ear. Eventually it got to the point where is was stressing him out a ton. I told him that an ear infection he had earlier this year could be the cause. I also asked him to analyze both...

Recently I’ve actually taken up some vaping. I find the nicotine “high” somewhat similar to a THC high although it doesn’t last nearly as long (comparing seconds to hours). So while they both spike my symptoms, the nicotine high goes away so quickly that I do not mind it nearly as much. I have...

Yes I get all kinds of strange noise when I burp or yawn. It basically is my tinnitus spiking for a second. When I stop burping or yawning, the noises stop as well. Flexing my jaw a certain way has the same effect. When I’m drunk I notice a significant decrease in my symptoms. I would assume...

I think you may be on to something. Both SEH and Ménière’s sound very similar and the treatments seem to be the same. I will try to avoid salty and sugary foods. Recently I’ve had many more attacks (multiple a day) and they are increasingly violent I even vomited during one.

If I continue with this crap for 2 years and it only continues to get worse as it has been, I’m going to be wanting destructive surgery real bad.

This makes me think that destructive surgeries that induce deafness might actually destroy hyperacusis symptoms entirely. Obviously not a good idea for anyone with hyperacusis in both ears. But for those with it in just one ear, like me, I feel that it should be on the table.

I have been off the site for a while now and I thought I’d give some insight on how I’m doing now. At this point I wear an earplug from the moment I wake up till when I’m going to sleep. I know I know... it’s not what you should do and I may be risking heightened sensitivity. But let me just...

God damn Canada health care seems so shitty...

Ooo someone got a little butthurt... maybe more than even the pain in his ears...

Hell yeah! Out of the bands you mentioned I like Marduk the best. Their drummer's insane speeds make the music sound like war, I love that.

It’s black now!

I’d take the full online one. But I’d also not try to stay indoors all the time especially in your bedroom. Spending way too much time inside ain’t good for your sanity, I know how tempting it is with hyperacusis though. When you go out, use hearing protection.

Then it's simply just another symptom. Like for real, comments like yours do more harm than good. When you hear noise and the tinnitus competes with it, that’s reactive tinnitus... It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that. I get what you are trying to say but man you come off like...

Bro... did you actually say hail Darkthrone??? My homie!!! Your message is giving me tons of hope. Do you play an instrument? Along with drums I do vocals and bass guitar. Yes, I can scream... both guttural lows and black metal as fuck highs. NO CLEAN SINGING!!!

To be ok with this very new curse... and to be okay with it if it gets worse.

Bones In The Ocean - The Longest Johns. Be careful, this one may make you shed tears. The best songs do.

Well I’m a drummer and since getting dysacusis, tinnitus and hyperacusis in just 1 ear I’ve had to double protect that ear to even play my once beloved instrument. Before the incident that caused my problems I could play without any protection. But as far as listening to music, I can handle...

Describe the twang better... If I flex my jaw a certain way i hear my tinnitus loud as shit for a brief period. When I yawn I could see this flexing happening. Yawning kinda isolates it because I think when you yawn you partially open your eustachian tubes.

A lot harder when you have hyperacusis too and the sometimes excruciating pain that comes along with it.

Hey man, first of all I know exactly what you are feeling and be thankful you got it when you did and not much earlier like me, 19 years old! I want to first tell you that the hyperacusis distortions (flutters) will be the hardest part of all of it. I find that earplugs seem to be the best...

How could something like that create it? Do you think you overstrained some muscle or something? And why did the earplug make any difference? Also I feel that our cases may be pretty similar while my tinnitus came from 1 blast comparable to a gun whereas yours seems to be multiple, we both gave...

Thanks for responding so quickly! I am now at a constant inner debate all the time weather to wear protection constantly or around certain things and if so what. Like yesterday I went to the beach for the first time with distortions and oh my lord the waves were unbearable I had to plug up. I...

Alcohol. Not the best solution and a shit one long term. But when I’m 1 shot in, I notice it less. 3 or more shots in, and I don’t notice it nearly as much. This has led me to drink multiple shots everyday for weeks at a time. Yeah, not a good thing. I don’t do that anymore. Now like every...

Noise induced in what way? Was it cumulative or a 1 off exposure? Mine is 1 off and I’ve only had it for almost 2 months and my distortions only started after 2 weeks in and after 4 weeks my tinnitus has mostly subsided but the distortions are very noticeable.

In early December I exposed my right ear to a very loud impact blast from hitting a nail gun charge with a hammer. Yeah, big mistake. Day 1 I felt horrible pain and tinnitus so loud I hear it over mostly everything. Keep in mind this will all be in my right ear as my other one wasn’t pointed...

Decent

Mine sounds very crunchy like tv static. There’s a little bit of my reactive tinnitus tone in there but it’s not as noticeable as the crunchiness.

I have really noticeable distortion. I used to listen to lots of metal and some rock and jazz. At this point I can’t stand anything with high tones. That means I still listen to those 3 genres but I try to stick to things with lower male voices and strong tenor and bass instruments. For metal...

I would assume it implies acoustic trauma. At least that’s how mine acts.

I have tinnitus and hyperacusis in only right ear from high pitched explosion. The pain is normally more bothersome than the ring for the ring is easy enough to mask with a fan, music, or a TV. It is reactive however, if I go play my drum kit with no hearing protection, the ring will be all I...

On December 8th while at work using a nail gun my coworker told me that if I take a dud charge home (they are basically a small gun powder round) and hit it with a hammer that it would go off like a firecracker. Me being the curious yet obviously not careful enough person I am, did this as soon...

This is what I’m experiencing after a week of tinnitus. The first week wasn’t like that.
