It has been a little over a year since my last post, so I thought I’d give you all another update! :) Since last year’s update, we had the final two months of 2023, November and December, and they were just as good as the months before! When 2024 started, my ears were doing well. Around...

Hi all, I thought it was time for an update since it has been a year since I updated here. So the last months of 2022 (November and December) my ears were pretty much trouble free. I experienced some problems with my eye(s) in November instead. One evening I suddenly got a blind spot about as...

The moon floats across the black skies No stars to be seen out tonight New life, what it feels like Snow falls, frozen tears hit the ground Winds whispering their secrets Wandering in the night, I keep them For you, I rid myself of evil Pale light gleams on my sword I cut the night as I'm...

Hey @John2000, did you ever find any supplement that worked for you? @Ben Winders, did your tinnitus come down after you stopped Xarelto? I had a micro clot in my eye (same side as my bad ear if that matters) in November and I mentioned this to my ENT recently. Now he wants me to try a low...

Hello, I have been struggling with ear-problems since 2018, for more in depth you can go to my introduction thread. But in November 2022 I also experienced eye problems. I suddenly got a blind spot in my left eye (same side as my bad ear, if that would matter). I got examined by an eye doctor...

I got my custom molded earplugs about a year ago now. If I remember correctly, the molding process didn't have much more sound than the swelling and removal of regular foam earplugs. This is of course only my personal experience and might differ from anyone else's. I have been using mine...

My cat, Freya :cat:

Not really sports, but I started walking daily (5 km average) in January 2022. In August I also bought a gym card at my local gym which I have been to 3 times a week, following the 5x5 stronglifts program. Since I started the gym, I have walked the remaining 4 days of the week. I have strictly...

Yes, well I am quite familiar with setbacks but this one was out of the blue, compared to the other setbacks where I kind of always have been exposed to loud sound. And yes, exactly like you described, as I am hearing sounds with my left ear, my right ear is making all the extra tones. And if...

Yes, it did get blocked all of a sudden. I have taken steroids before throughout my tinnitus/hyperacusis journey, I have not experienced any side effects from them either. So i might as well try. Oh I know there isn't, but I just need to let it out, talk and get advice. I'm kind of panicking...

Update: The tinnitus is now at an all time high, I've never heard it this loud :( I need some advice or encouraging words.

Hello fellow sufferers, Unfortunately my hyperacusis and tinnitus suddenly went from good to severe (according to me) today. It has been a long time since I have had a bad period, but I have never experienced what I am at the moment. For the last year I have been doing relatively good. I have...

Hello @volterra. Yes unfortunately after most, if not all, traumas. I have had more problems with cooking (in pan) than showering, not sure why exactly. Also all sounds that come from phones, TVs etc... Usually I have taken 1 or 2 weeks off of my work and then 1 or 2 weeks of remote working...

Soon hitting the one year mark for my account, might as well throw my face out there :bag: And from this year's halloween ;)

Oh I do agree and I am aware. Still one does start to push his limits when feeling better, which is probably not a good thing, especially with this condition! The human brain is weird for doing this...

Fellow tinnitus and hyperacusis sufferers, I am back with another update from July until today to add to my journal. I do not know if this is still considered my "introduction" or not, but if not, admins may move this thread to a more appropriate topic. So after the trip in early July, I had...

Hello @ZFire, this has been the case for me also. Almost like every, and I mean every small sound that you could pick up, is amped up. Usually I don't react much to louder (rather normal sounds for people) sounds when my ears are more sensitive. It has instead been the low volume sounds that...

Hello @CrazyBison, I also experienced a very low rumble type of tinnitus when I worsened last year. My main concern was hyperacusis though. The low rumble tinnitus eventually faded away for me and today I only have a very mild high-pitch tinnitus. Also welcome to Tinnitus Talk! This forum has...

I'll give a short update from November 2021 until today. So in late November 2021 my ear pain shifted to a cold/numbness feeling in (ear canal) and around the ear. The "numbness" feeling could stretch to the eye of the same side, and also to the cheek. This was something new for me, and I were...

Things are going better, or at least I am not constantly sad about it anymore. But if I am completely honest, I still miss her a lot. I do not know why, but the past 3 weeks or so had been much better until some days ago. I just started to miss her out of the blue again... To those who are in...

I do not know your level of severity but I wouldn't recommend nightclubs for anyone with hyperacusis. I have actually been to bars these last weeks since my ears are much better than a year/half a year ago. But I would not say they are healed. I still wear earplugs (-30 dB) when driving the car...

Thank you for your concern @ajc, I appreciate it. But I confidently believe that she has not been cheating on me and she does not have anyone else "in sight". I am sorry if this has happened to you before. But this girl is not like that, I am 100% sure of it. We have never had any trust issues...

Thank you @emmalee for the kind words. I do want to keep my hope up, that one day we would be together again. But I also feel that it is a dangerous thing to hold on to that hope. But I also do not want to fully let her go. We both do not really want to let go. Since the ear problems started...

Hello guys and girls, I know this forum is not meant for relationship related stuff but I do not know where else I would write. I am currently going through a breakup I never expected to happen and I need some guidance. I guess I feel that I have to open up to someone, sorry for the wall of...

I might not be filling all of your criteria and I might be a milder case than you would like to hear this from but I'll provide my "recovery" anyways. So my first hyperacusis symptoms started 2018, worsened in 2019. Before the worsening the symptoms were barely noticeable, and I lived my life...

I do, way too much! :whistle: Me and some of my friends play the "newest mode" called Group Ironman. A Regular Ironman is an account which cannot trade or buy/sell/pickup anything from other players, this game mode adds a whole new depth of the game. And in October they added Group ironman...

Anyone here plays oldschool Runescape? :) Other games I play or have played a lot are: CS:GO League of Legends World of Warcraft Valheim Other various (multiplayer) survival games Actually used to compete at local LANs in CS:GO some years ago, those were the days! :D

One of the most famous media sites in Finland recently published an article about focused ultrasound that might be of interest. The article does not focus on anything ear related at all but I still found it quite interesting and thought I would share it with you guys. Link...

I have recently started noticing symptoms around my ear/face. I have recently (2 months ago) had a setback and I would say some things are getting better, some not. At first I experienced burning sensation in the ear, but that sensation has become much better past the last weeks. I have not...

My hyperacusis is almost always better in the morning, but gets worse during the day. I guess my ears gets "tired". But I would not say I have random attacks.

Some symptoms I forgot to mention in the original post are: Ear fullness, same as others have described it. Feeling of fullness/swollen and warmth. Ear popping, everyone can experience ear popping but I mean to a higher degree than normal. Ears stopped producing much wax. I used to clean my...

Yes, I have been quite lucky! I do not actually believe I can ever recover 100%, more like 99%. For example, I would never go to a concert or begin to play drums, while these activities might be possible after a long time of healing and using earplugs, I would not risk it. But when I say I've...

Hello, I am a 24-year-old male from Finland, and I have been suffering (not all the time) from some kind of hyperacusis since February 2018. I have been "lurking" on these forums since May this year (2021), but finally decided to register. I will go through and provide some details about all...
