I just oiled two creaky doors that had been annoying me for weeks. It took one minute—I wish I’d done it earlier. I didn’t have any other oil, so I used extra virgin olive oil. (Yes, really!) I’ve been thinking about how you approach DNSR after exposure. For example, when you hear the sound of...

Hi @Lorna46, Thanks for your response. I love your post. Despite your difficulties, you remain so positive. I try my best to stay positive too, but I often have sad thoughts throughout the day and forget to do the “stop stop stop” or retrain myself. It is a shame we cannot connect directly to...

Hey! I’d love to hear an update from you. I hope you’re doing well. 🙏

@Lorna46, I’m so sorry no one has responded to you. I’m in the same boat. I have a 6-year-old, and I won’t be able to attend things like family meals outside, her nativity play, or a visit to Santa. However, I’ve made a list of activities we can do together at home. Currently, after school, we...

That’s great—I’m dealing with the same issue. Does this mean you can now start TRT treatment? For example, do you listen to low-level music or other background sounds, and has it helped?

Who knew plastic containers can sound like a bomb when opening them. And no I'm not on any drugs or alcohol!

I’m sorry you haven’t seen any improvement; it can take some time. May I ask what your symptoms are? I’m tempted to try Topiramate, as it is an actual migraine medication, and the theory behind it makes sense to me. Do you know why they haven’t suggested that one yet?

Hi @MindOverMatter, I wanted to get your opinion on something. I know everyone's experiences are different, but I am asking out of concern. I developed hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus after a DJ party, and then had a second setback when my house alarm went off. That was two months ago. Since...

@MiaVIL, how are you getting on?

Did Carbamazepine work for you?

@Nick47, thanks for sharing it. I logged on to do the same. Finally, reactive tinnitus is being recognized as a serious condition. WE ARE NOT MAKING THIS UP! WE NEED TO BE HEARD! @Karl Tallman, did you continue with the diet? Did you see any improvements?

Hi! I would love to hear updates from anyone who has tried the full protocol, with or without medication. I have reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis.

@MindOverMatter I have reactive . At what point did you wear the ear sound generators? Did it not impact your Rt? Thanks.

@haha ear go eeee, are you back to living again? What medications did you try in the end?

Hey. How are you now. How is the H? Are you getting out at all?

Hi im new to this condition. Can i ask when you were servere. How did you cope with rain when bashing on the windows? I have vulux windows so its worse. Any tips?

In the uk its soon going to be winter . I have vulux windows. And when it rains it is so loud. Even ear muffs doesnt cover it?

Thank you so much for your help. I know you did EMDR as well. Did you do it through Zoom? Can you recommend the person you worked with?

How does one live like this? Minute to minute? Hour to hour, year by year. Mentally how do you do it?

4 months in being stuck in doors surrounded by buildingwork is too much. There are many people who have lived like this for years alone

Miniute by minute suffering. I havw a family and supportive friends yet im struggling

Have you ever tried brain retraining like Marin? Did it help.

Have you managed go for walks with ear plugs ok?

Hey try alan gordons somatic tracking for the ear sensations. https://youtu.be/Lw1D_UvzIDA?si=9WL81Q7Pv4gQE3kU

Hey hope you are doing better x

Have you ever tried sound therapy did it help?

@ECP hello. Your story gives me hope as i think we have similar things. You had very loud multi tonal reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis. Which i know you still do. But you said its better. Can i ask in your old posts you mentioned getting a mri scan. Did you ever get one?

Thanks for helping this person. Do you have musical tinnitus on top of your regular tinnitus? Would you say that your tinnitus has improved over time?

Thanks, Billie. I will keep working on it.

@Zigs, I was just thinking about something that might help you: Alan Gordon's somatic tracking exercises. You can find them all on Google. How are you doing? Are you still able to go on your walks?

Thank you for sharing your amazing success story. You’ve gone through so much and survived it. My tinnitus has become very severe over the last few months. I have several tones, and it’s incredibly intense. I’m three months in, and I also have hyperacusis. It brings me to tears of joy to know...

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. The fact that you're now able to live your life is amazing. I'm three months into this and can just about manage to drop off and pick up my daughter from school. The rest of my time is spent at home due to hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus. I do...

@AnthonyMcDonald, may I ask you a question? You mentioned you were in the hospital for a while. While you were there, were you allowed to use your phone? I'm asking because you said that visit helped improve your condition, and I wonder if avoiding tinnitus-related content on your phone played a...

@MindOverMatter, I understand from a friend of yours that you have, or had, reactive tinnitus. I've had mild tinnitus for three years, which slightly worsened in March but eventually habituated. However, after loud sound exposure in June, it increased again, and I've been really struggling since...

Yes, I have musical tinnitus, but it is not due to social isolation or hearing loss. It has been proven that musical tinnitus can be caused by living alone, as your ears receive no stimulation. So, if you have been wearing earplugs indoors and living in complete silence, then yes, there is a...
