Unfortunately, I can’t recommend an expert because I was not happy with the treatment. Please try Hyperacusis Network. They have links to worldwide clinicians. Tinnitus UK might know some therapists or books. All the best, Annika.

Hi @Heal82, Please find below my answers to your questions. Approximately 3-4 weeks. I found electronic background noises from TV/DVD intolerable. About one month later, my hyperacusis really took off. Although I did not use hearing protection at home, my hyperacusis was a problem all day...

No, I was not totally homebound when my hyperacusis was at its worst. I was able to visit a local park & woodland area, but only with great difficulty. I had to wear earmuffs (rated at 38 decibels). Generally, I only had to wear them when I was outside. However, during the first weeks of my...

Hi @Heal82, you recently posted a message on my profile page with some questions. My hyperacusis also started after a microsuction earwax removal in 2021. Although I still have hyperacusis, it is no longer debilitating and I can lead a normal life again. My hyperacusis has improved a lot...

Hi Spliffurt, I started the thread back in 2021 after I developed debilitating hyperacusis after a microsuction procedure. I also had tinnitus which was caused by medication but the hyperacusis was clearly my main problem. I believe that microsuction can be risky and that there are not...

Hi sm20, Thanks for letting us know about your experience with noise generators. You said that it improved your condition within 2 weeks. That is remarkable! Could you please let me know which 'white noise generator' you have been using? I will buy one immediately. Thank you Annika

Hi Ronnie Thailand, Thanks for sharing your experience about your tinnitus/hyperacusis. I am sorry to hear of your severe pain, that is clearly very tough to deal with. I hope, that you have been able to get a check-up from an ENT doctor and also offered medication. It appears that there are a...

Hi Michael, Thanks so much for your advice. I find your articles very helpful indeed and also very informative. Could you please tell me if I should wait at least 6-12 month before starting any long-term treatment with ‘white noise generators’? Should I already use ‘sound machines’ at night...

I have acquired a severe form of hyperacusis which started gradually in January 2021. Unfortunately my hearing sensitivity has gone a lot worse since March. It seems to have been brought microsuction earwax removal and medication. Unfortunately travelling on the London Underground and the noise...
