Baguley is full of it. He must be limiting his caseload to the mildest forms of hyperacusis or something, I don't know, but for many people who have it, exposure to loud sounds is not "irritating" or "a stress reaction", but sharp physical pain, stabbing and burning in the ears and around them...

Thanks for the advice. Dr. prescribing opioids is not hearing specialist, and has been quick to downplay other opioid side effects I've been having (like edema), so not sure he will be of much help. Will probably need to make the judgment on my own.

Question: does anyone know of any connection between opioid use and an increase in hyperacusis or tinnitus? I've been taking MS Contin (morphine) for about three months now due to Trigeminal neuralgia and other nerve pain brought on by hyperacusis which had brought me to the brink of suicide...

I can't use your plugs or earmuffs due to extreme air pain from hyperacusis. That's why I'm looking for the quietest MRI possible.

Has anyone had an MRI using the new GE silent scan technology? It's supposed to be only about 3 dB louder then whatever the ambient room noise level is. That seems hard to believe, given that most MRI scanners are around 100 dB or more. If anyone has had one of the scans please report how...

I've been diagnosed with TTTS. The strange thing is that even as I started to control my anxiety and startle reflex, and see improvements in sound tolerance, the pain kept going in the other direction and spreading. My H has improved some overall, but ear pain is worse I have TMJD Pain now as...

Do you have hyperacusis? If so, look into TTTS.

I tried twice on The Toshiba Vantage. Supposedly peaks at 85 dbs but I couldn't handle it even with plugs cutting 20dbs even. Felt more like 90-100 range. And the worst of sounds for hyperacusis, short, sharp, and metallic. I had to bail both times, still looking for one I can handle since I...

Going in for an MRI this Friday. Machine is a Toshiba Vantage Titan which peaks out around 85db, so they say. If that's treu, I should be able to handle it with earplugs, anything louder and I don't want to go near it given my hyperacusis. Anyone had a scan on one of these Pianissimo machines?

MRIs are loud even when hearing is healthy. Use plugs if you get one. If suffering from hyperacusis, think twice.

At least two tones in each ear, 50-60 dbs. Hear it above conversation on most days. Haven't been able to listen to anything loud enough to properly mask it yet due to hyperacusis. Shower is my only friend.

Meditation was only thing that helped when i had it before in milder form. That and time.

God, I've had maybe three of those days in the past week... Really on the edge.

Hi Demi, I'm in a similar place right now. Had T ages ago and largely kicked it, but got hit with a new much louder spike with new tones which led quickly to Hyperacusis as well. Same story, being given ADs, refused TRT for now, which I am less than eager to try but feeling desperate. The H...

Got a link for that?

" If you decide to try earplugs for H, make sure it is not for normal sounds, as over-protection can lead to sound sensitivity." I'm going through this struggle (with H and T) now. Was trying not to use earplugs at home or in my neighbourhood, grinning and bearing it when washing dishes or...

Hyperacusis hell.

>My theory is that the sound of headphones are more damaging to ears because of the close proximity of the sound source. I just completely blew my ears out with a studio accident bass blast through headphones. Analysing the level of the sound that hit me, objectively it was nowhere near as loud...
