Hi there. My hyperacusis hit me hard in 2019. I hardly went out for around a year. Then came lockdown, which was a great excuse for me to continue not to go out much!@Mister Muso, what was the timeline for you to get to where you are now? I'm really struggling with hyperacusis right now.
For the first few months I felt completely despondent. I listened to no music at all for 3 months, then for the next 3 months I could only tolerate low-level acoustic and ambient music.
Right now I'm listening to some power metal.
I've experienced improvements each year, but it's not always been a straight line. I'll go for months with seemingly no improvement, then over a few weeks things will improve quite dramatically.
I still take earplugs when I leave the house but I quite often don't need them any more.
Hang in there!
