I dont remember correctly. It took weeks. I tried to do smell training with essential oils to speed the recovery.

Also not pushing myself too hard helped with noxacusis. It was important not to push my limits too much.

I had to use earplugs when I left my home for a long time. I stopped doing that last summer/autumn..

I had noxacusis at first after acoustic trauma for months. Then my H has been more like loudness hyperacusis slowly when time has passed

@aab Probably time, and not overprotecting my ears. Slowly I stopped using earplugs choosing always plugs that have less and less decibel protection

@HearingHell I am sorry to hear that. I have had audiogram that has been considered as normal hearing (going to get my hearing checked out after this latest 24/7 loud roaring) and still I have these awful distortions

@Tryn2BHopeful I havent done audiogram for 1,5 years. Going there soon. I have had 25 db-10 db losses in some frequencies in the past.

I @cyberspace Sorry to hear that :( I am so angry I have struggled for months after that stupid procedure. I believe it caused some hearing loss

In the future I am definitely not making the same mistake ever again. Thanks @MindOverMatter for tips and @TheCapybara for your kind words!

Yep. Pulsating tinnitus left (thankfully) after earwax removal but ironic is that overall my tinnitus is worse than before removal. It would be amazing if ENTs had tools that wouldnt be so loud.

I still deal with fight/flight response because of my T. I feel myself so much dumber after I got tinnitus and I struggle a lot with concentration. I can do a lot of stuff but studying and writing etc feel the most challenging thing for me still at the moment. I try but it is a constant battle

@GG_Ear I am sorry that you are going through all of that. The things how you describe your hyperacusis sound really familiar. How things seem louder, how certain sounds are horrible, whistle sounds over certain sounds, ear fatigue and aching sensations.. But hyperacusis can improve...

@GG_Ear How is your situation with hyperacusis?

At first I stayed at home, used ear protection at home a lot, was sensitive to sound of electric appliances such as TV, fan sound bothered me. I couldn´t mask my tinnitus for some time and had to sleep without masking sounds. Sounds triggered pain

@GG_Ear Yes I am really glad about my hyperacusis improving. The cause of my symptoms were combination of med taper and acoustic trauma. Yes I had to stay at home in the beginning. It took a long time for my hyperacusis to heal to the point I am now

But my condition is better compared to the time like year ago or two years ago. I have got spikes when there has been loud sudden sounds, I have gone to decibels my ears dont handle or tried headphones, etc but I do know my limits and when not to push them too much nowadays better.

At the same time when my hyperacusis has improved my hearing feels a bit worse overall. I still have reactive tinnitus that is maybe a bit better, handle loud noises more poorly than the average people and have sound distortions and T.

@GG_Ear hi, my hyperacusis has got a lot of better in a year. I handle noise better and my ability to tolerate sound levels has improved.

@TindalosKeeper And I feel like my hearing has started to feel worse at the same time when my hyperacusis has improved. Like I have gone from things sound super loud to things do not sound as clear anymore and even muffled and too quiet. But I still cant tolerate sound levels that some do.

At the same time when my hyperacusis has improved my hearing feels worse, the quality and things sound quieter and less clear. I still have hyperacusis too but like I said it is easier but I cant tolerate sound levels that many people normally do tolerate (I avoid movies, bars, parties). I have...

Slowly my tolerance of sound improved within one to two years but at the same time I feel like I have started to feel more hearing issues with quality of sound. My ears still cant handle volumes such as parties and I get ear fatigue and even pain when pushing limits and my hearing fluctuates.

@TindalosKeeper Sometimes I experienced setbacks when I started to experience burning pain in my ears even after improvement.

@TindalosKeeper I experienced acoustic trauma and was tapering benzos at the same time. I started to experience sensitivity to sound during benzo tapering but after acoustic trauma I started to deal with noise induced pain, my tolerance of sound dropped really low and I felt like things felt...

@Strawberryblonde It could be.
