Different Types of Hyperacusis?

[Lola808]

Hello @Orions Pain.

You describe almost my tinnitus. Almost. We have almost identical symptoms. I am really sorry to hear that. If you want we could connect. I try to find people that I can relate with mostly to see how they cope and if they have managed to establish a strategy. I am really interested to hear whether you are still able to work.
Thank you for taking the time to reply extensively. I appreciate that.

I also have VS

I think I'm developing this too.

I'm still pretty confused. I don't have any typical hyperacusis symptoms. I can stand sounds just fine, normal every day life noise doesn't hurt or sound louder at all. Nothing gives me a wooshing or vibrating sensation, especially not normal noise. I had some ear fullness at the same time fluid was present but haven't had this feeling in weeks now and my ears are now clear.

But I do occasionally get a thumping - this either happens in silence when I'm in bed OR with very specific repetitive noises, but not always.

I can recall the thumping happening way (YEARS) before I got tinnitus, and it's only occasional. A repetitive noise can cause it one moment, but not the next. Even if it's the exact same noise.

I also don't have ANY symptoms of TTTS aside from tinnitus.

So I'm a bit confused lol.

Actually coming back to this, the thumping/rumble I feel/hear isn't even in my ears. It's more the back of my head, where neck meets head. It's pretty random and on/off anyway and it seems to pretty random sounds causing it one day, not the next.

I guess this isn't hyperacusis nor TTTS. It's just a very strange sensation that I only had very, very rarely before my tinnitus onset, but now more frequently. Still noises don't hurt, it's just an uncomfortable/weird sensation.
