I would love to hear how it goes! Wishing you all the best. This condition and OCD are such a nasty combo.

Yes and no. On one hand, my symptoms have improved significantly. The ear fatigue has become much more manageable, I no longer experience daily pain, and although the tinnitus is still loud, it isn't unbearable. However, my sound tolerance and ability to withstand noise without setbacks remain...

Moving this weekend, hoping all the noise and stress doesnt spike my h/t more than usual.

I’m starting a new thread because I’m further along in my hyperacusis/tinnitus journey (two years now), and I have learned a lot (as much about what I don’t know as what I know). For backstory’s sake, I developed hyperacusis and tinnitus from acoustic trauma (gunshot, no protection) in April...

I never made the headway with DNRS that I intended, but I want to revisit it. I still think neuroplasticity holds massive potential.

So much of this condition feels psychological, but that doesn’t make it any easier to recover. The PTSD from setback after setback is REAL.

Taking a break from the forum to begin practicing the DNRS program in hopes of recovering from hyperacusis. Will be back to update :)

Hi all, just updating this thread to let you know that I will be giving my best effort at recovering utilizing the DNRS program over the coming months. This is a program that has been used by some others here on Tinnitus Talk with great success (@Marin is the main member that comes to mind), and...

Another setback...trying to keep the spirits as high as they can be (but they are admittedly low).

Hi all, I am unfortunately back with a new update and find myself genuinely baffled at the state my ears have reached. Since my last post, I have continued to cycle between periods of relative normalcy and 1-2 week long spikes where I have to dial everything back. However, I had been able to...

Hmm, I would say I have experienced both. But the important thing is whichever one it is, make sure you put in your earplugs as quickly as possible to limit exposure. I feel pretty confident that extended exposure to fire alarms without earplugs would have definitely caused at least a small...

I'm sorry to hear about your setback, I know how difficult they can be, especially when you are in the acute phase and don't know if recovery can happen at all. Wishing you all the best in your continued recovery! The crazy thing is, no matter how many times I read not to let it happen to me, I...

Hi everyone, I wanted to give an update now 15 months post the acoustic trauma that started my journey with tinnitus and hyperacusis. I had hoped that one day I'd be able to share a "success story" and I think in some ways I can do that, though these conditions are much more nuanced than success...

Hi all - update on my hyperacusis and tinnitus after almost 4 months. Months one and two were horrifyingly bad. I couldn't leave my house for the majority of that time. However, I did make steady (albeit slow) progress, and was able to go to places like restaurants with earplugs by the end of...

Still only 25! I was able to protect my right ear so no ringing there, the tinnitus is only in the left ear. The sensitivity to noise and aural fullness are in both ears though.

Hi all - update after the weekend. Good news and bad news. The bad first - turns out the relationship strain I mentioned actually existed because my partner was cheating on me, lying about it, and upon confronting her left me after three years of an incredible relationship. So that is a whole...

Hi all. As of writing this I am horrified for my future but it feels like the people around me don't recognize how vulnerable of a place I am in. I have already struggled with chronic health conditions and depression/anxiety for years, but only as of the last couple of months I've finally gotten...
