Doing pretty well my man @Damocles Had a setback a few weeks ago because I put myself into a really bad situation but trying to stay calm, and continue things that made me feel better the first time. Still cannot believe the phase 2 results…happy days on the horizon

@Wrfortiscue yea I have to imagine if I had children that would 100% be a trigger too. Other peoples loud voices, and screaming should have been added to my previous list.

I laughed at this more than I’d like to admit lolol @Damocles

@Wrfortiscue have you narrowed down your triggers? I’m finally starting to find out what makes my ear piercingly chirpy, and I’ve found that my voice is the biggest culprit :/ followed by digital audio

@BrOKeN_1 the one bar we went to and played darts was definitely pushing the limit because of their shit speakers, but any spike was temporary. Paranoia doesn’t help ever, trying to remind myself of that when I’m in a “loud” situation

Reactive T on the other hand won’t give up and I’ve kind of relegated myself to just having this for life. Kind of what I alluded to in the comment above: I’m tired of caring so freaking much and I seem to do better when I just let go and roll with the punches.

Yea man @Wrfortiscue i think I’m finally getting to the point where I just don’t care if I spike after doing something fun, and within reason. Nox is basically non-existent now. Only thing that persists is this weird menthol sensation that washes over my right cheek when I project my voice.

@BrOKeN_1 I actually love politics and debating. I come from a family that is very politically active. However, one look at the politics thread on TT made me want to never come back lol

Sounds pretty identical to me for the most part. Had head T for around 20 years. Picked up a new tone in 2017, and what I now realize was my first signs of hyperacusis. Didn’t think too much of it as it went away. June 2021 everything changed.

@aura has it always been like this, or is this a new development?

@ZFire that sounds like me for the most part, except for it being quiet in the mornings. For the most part, if it’s loud and reactive in the morning it will be like that all day. If it’s quiet in the morning, I usually get a reprieve from the new nasty tone and it’s reactiveness. Really just...

Yep…I want to be positive and say that it’s probably so amplified the past two days because I had a such a good day on Tuesday. At the same time it also seems objectively louder and more variable. Only time will tell.

@Steph1710 so annoying how variable this one is. It’s been so shrill for the past week and reacts to everything. Quite honestly, I’m not doing okay and am thinking about going to see my doctor and seeing if I can get prescribed antidepressants. Never once in my 20+ years has T made my mood...

Sort of similar, but I had this same thought when Covid started in the US. As weird as this sounds, I welcomed Covid as my life was slowly becoming unlivable with how often I was on the run (so I thought). I wish I could go back and slap myself in the face for thinking that. Being on the run is...

@Guywithapug its insane. I don’t react to my faucet at home but my friends faucet? Absolutely insane how loud the reactive t gets. @Marshall my original T for 20 years was stable. This is something completely different that I had no clue could ever get this bad. I really take it for granted…

Take enough and you’ll get visits from the Hatman :p @BrOKeN_1

Unfortunately, things still seem to be progressing, and I have developed mild pain hyperacusis, as well as TTTS that is uncontrollable. Reactivity still basically the same, but “new tone” seems to be subsiding. Mentally, I am in a much better place than I was last month, and that is half the...

@Brittany95 oh no need to apologize I totally get it! I am so happy to hear that things are moving in the right direction for you. I hope that there is more continued success and positivity in your future :)

Yea I’ve been noticing that wearing ear plugs let’s me talk without reactive T/ pain H. Gonna have to start doing that moving forward I guess. How can you tell the difference between inner and middle ear pain if you don’t mind me asking?

Thanks man, been following your story since last year. I’m truly sorry for what you are dealing with. How do I protect against my own voice causing the worst of my pain? My nox on the right side seems to radiate through my neck when I speak up…
