Your profile picture and the symptoms remind me of me and my hyperacusis somehow. If you're around loud amps and stuff and getting what resembles hyperacusis symptoms, I would stay on the cautious side. I would consider taking this extremely seriously but at the same time try to to develop an...

@Vii, I don't think it is fair to pin everything on age. Your unique situation is your unique situation. Some people are young and recover slow and some who are old recover fast. Age might have an impact on healing lots of things, but probably much less than you suggest and surely you experience...

A couple of guys showed up to a garage gig, with 2 stacks of 4x12" subs and went on to play this very loud, very low bass noise. I really didn't feel like it was very loud but it totally gave me loudness hyperacusis and some tinnitus. I think that low frequency noise like that is harder to know...

@Athens, thanks for this post. I am wondering also. I feel like when I first start playing acoustic guitar and singing that it seems really loud and uncomfy, and then if do that for a while and come back, the sound level felt normal and I could play for 2 hours without noticing it.

@lphb, you could have TMJD. If you are wearing a retainer every night, that is suspect as it can be something that alters the way your jaw resets at night. It is possible that you are irritating your TMJ joint somehow with your retainer. I wonder if you can talk with the doctor about trying some...

@Gregg69004, hey do you mind telling me how you got tested for your pain level? Is that what makes you mild?

From what I read you are probably doing pretty good. The changing noises might be the hair cells coming back to life or you becoming accustomed to it all. Sorry this is happening to you. One thing I learned is there is some really extreme cases out there, reading about them seems to help you...

Sara, I personally think you need to socialize as much as possible. You need that in spades. You definitely have to keep living even if you have to adjust. There is stuff out there for you to enjoy, there are people that will take it easy around you.

Hi man. Shitty. Sorry this moron did this to you. I have taken some comfort in knowing how many musicians have had this and still went on to deal with it. There are plenty of YouTube of people that have been on the brink but learned to accept some of it and treat it a bit with pink noise. It...

@Monkee Man, I see Neil Young made his Harvest Moon album because he had this and couldn't be around loud noises. I see the pink noise as a promising and rational thing to train your system to accept sound again. I wonder if lightly playing a nylon string guitar would be similar? There is...

Hi @Monkee Man. Thanks for the encouraging advice. I think I have to come to terms with the long term outlook of this and take it easy as you said. Man, are you in the shape to start working on some acoustic songs or some very mellow stuff? That is what I am thinking of getting into.

Me: early 40s, song writer, musician. I was at an after-hours gig and two guys showed up with giant amps at 1am and played really loud for half an hour. I stupidly hung out without earplugs. Anyways, probably my fault as I knew better but also feel like they should have warned us and not...
