Nobody in the UK has found a competent clinician besides Jacqueline Sheldrake? Really?

Can anyone recommend a competent clinician in the UK to diagnose Hyperacusis, that won't charge £300+ like some of them do? Thanks

Thanks, both.

Thanks, guys, but I'm still no clearer. Philb, You say go to the NHS as H is easy to diagnose, but all I hear is about how clueless most practitioners are. You even sort of allude to that yourself when you say their idea of TRT was to give you an in-ear generator and off you go, although maybe...

Anyone?

I apologise for starting several threads, but I've done as much research as I can and can't find the exact answers. My question here is to ask is Jacqui Sheldrake the only person that I can get an accurate diagnosis from, with me being based in England? The impression I am getting is that only...

I'm glad your treatment helped you. Thanks for your replies :)

Thanks a lot. I've been reading about the sound therapies, it just seems odd to me how there aren't more threads from people talking about how their therapy is going. My Hyperacusis isn't as bad as many on here, so that's probably part of this, but the TRT that costs 2k + seems excessive to me...

I'm looking in to both of these and it struck me how few posts there are about people undergoing these things, anyone know why? I would have expected many threads about people undergoing these and how they're getting on.

It sounds daft, but sometimes I have dreams that are prophetic or show me how to resolve a problem. Well, I had a dream that showed an image of, I think, stereocilia, as I'd never seen an image of that before my dream or even heard of it. In my dream I think it showed me that I perhaps had one...

I haven't been tested, Lynn. I'm sort of just hoping this gets better with time. I have no desire to spend the rest of my life going for tests and posting in a Hyperacusis forum. I've done that with other things and don't have the energy for a new thing. If it got to that stage I honestly don't...

Thanks, guys. Why would people use expensive TRT if they could buy a $20 pink noise cd?

Just assume you could have an image? :)

Can anybody elaborate, as I am so confused. We're supposed to expose our ears to ''everyday sounds'' to help our ears recover from Hyperacusis, but what precisely is an ''everyday sound''? If I'm in the supermarket and there is music playing at a level that previously wouldn't have bothered me...

Or would someone with Hyperacusis be missing lots of stereocilia, and missing one or two would mean they didn't have Hyperacusis?

Thanks both. I was actually refering to another picture, but I'm sure that is the same thing. Can I ask you a question about that picture? If someones ears looked mostly like the first photo, with healthy stereocilia and just one or two missing, what would that mean, if anything? I know it's a...

There's a thread on here with a black and white image showing what happens when the ear is damaged, can anyone remind me what it is, please? I've been looking for it for ages now :)

No, it is Hyperacusis. I've been in crowds like that before and been fine, but it was definitely bothering my ears. And all sounds are louder now. Just reading some of the cases on here make me realise it isn't as extreme, but it's still a big problem. The next time I go to a match I will use...

This may be a stupid suggestion, but when I first got Hyperacusis I inhaled steam which helped a lot with my pain. By inhaling it I mean run a bowl of hot water (I boiled it as I found it worked better when the steam is as hot as I can stand, to the point where any hotter and you can't breathe...

Thanks, Bee. I don't appear to be as bad as a lot of people on here. Loud sounds make me tense up, but it certainly isn't as extreme as yours. I was at a football match the other week, in the away end, so two thousand blokes singing loudly, and it made me tense up a bit, irritated my ears a...

Thanks a lot, much appreciated. The ENT seemed like he knew how to interpret the hearing test, he was fairly informative, though I can't remember really what he said :) He pretty much said everything about the situation bar the actual term ''Hyperacusis'' so I would hope he knew what he was...

Thanks, both. I have seen an ENT and he said it was Hyperacusis, so, I mean, is that a sufficient diagnosis? I had a sound test right before I saw him, then went in and saw him several minutes later. He didn't actually say it was Hyperacusis, just that he thought it would get better. It was...

Thanks, both. If anyone could directly answer my questions that would be great though. I'm looking for the basic rules of this condition.

As ridiculous as it is, it appears most websites are clueless when it comes to providing basic information about this condition. I've had it for pushing five months now. I've been avoiding loud noises as I believed that was the way to help my ears recover, but am I supposed to be exposing...

Hi, all, I've had Tinnitus for about six years. Started off mildly, then three years ago got a lot worse, but I manage it. When it got a lot worse I believe it was because of trauma to my ear. ETD kicked in at the same time, but passed. In addition to my Tinnitus being louder I also noticed I...
