I currently experience "reactive" tinnitus with mild hyperacusis and am trying to figure the best way to go about treating it. Of course, there's properly conflicting information... On the one hand, there are positive stories singing praises for sound therapy and, on the other hand, there are...

Hello everyone, at the start of the year, I developed reactive tinnitus which seems to be getting better. I currently do not have any pain within my ear and I do not feel any spasming of my middle ear muscles. I have a slight sensitivity to sounds, like plates and silverware clanking, and some...

It's probably not a bad idea to protect during the acute phases of a noise trauma, but protecting 24/7 after the fact may not be a good idea. The brain is a very adaptive organ. It can and will adapt to changes in its environment. So, if you avoid and protect from sound 24/7 for a year or...

It's probably different for everyone, but everyone should practice good hearing health regardless of whether or not you have tinnitus. Enjoy the sounds of the world, but it's not a good idea for anyone to attend loud concerts, use powertools, or work in factories without proper hearing...

Ever since a long music production session at the end of December which ended with a temporary threshold shift in my hearing, my tinnitus got louder and had been spiking with absolutely all sound. It has become less "reactive" over the past two months, meaning I can enjoy music and everyday...

I get what you're saying, and I can understand the concept of selling these treatments as a means for him to thrive and for his services to continue being offered. It is a different thing entirely when we see "Black Friday Sale!" and "Cyber Monday Sale!" plastered on therapeutics for a...

I wanted to come back and add something to this thread. I mentioned before that I have reactive tinnitus, and it can get LOUD at times. Despite this, I still feel that I have the ability to perceive silence... It's odd. But as I said, I had developed a mindset of accepting tinnitus...

I have reactive tinnitus which is a subset of hyperacusis if I understand correctly. I do have a sensitivity to certain sounds - it's a loudness perception and there is no pain with it. I would consider it very mild at the moment in terms of hyperacusis, but still not ideal overall. My worry is...

I feel this. I developed reactive tinnitus about 6 weeks ago. The odd thing is, the tinnitus no longer bothers me. It's the thought that I may have or may develop painful hyperacusis. You wouldn't think reactive tinnitus is something you could habituate to, but I mostly have within about 6...

@CRGC, @Benjaminbb and @MindOverMatter: Thank you all for your replies. It's encouraging to hear your thoughts on this. I am 26, so I would hope that being fairly young may benefit the recovery or stabilization from what I'm going through. I also have debilitating OCD, so it's hard not to get...

This makes me sad to see as I have always appreciated the advice given from Ben's YouTube videos. I still think his advice is good, but I don't see why sound therapy should have to be administered via an expensive in-ear device.

Hello! I am a 26-year-old music producer. I have had tinnitus since sometime in 2020, it was so quiet it didn't bother me. On 1/1/2023, I had a temporary threshold shift while producing music. The threshold shift subsided the next day, but it came with a louder and reactive form of tinnitus...
