Fullness in Ear and Sensitive to Noise — Do I Have Hyperacusis?

[Adriel93]

for some reason these past few days I've been sensitive to sound in the ear that's full. Everyday it switches from ear to the other ear.i also have ETD and really low tinnitus. Does this mean I have Hyperacusis???
Can anyone relate??


I've also been waking up with my nose stuffy and my for head and eyes have been aching. I hope this is just temporary and it's just cause the weather has been crazy here in Chicago.

Hyperacusis is a deep inner ear pain or and/or ache in reaction to certain frequencies, sometimes it even lingers afterward. In my opinion, just plain aural fullness isn't necessarily hyperacusis, it's a symptom of many issues.

Do you have any pain? Spasms in reaction to sound? If you don't then I'd say you don't have H.

@Frizz i do have pain when I hear high pitched sounds. But I can listen to loud music and be around a loud environment which that doesn't bother me. My ears pretty much feel sore all day

@Adriel93 did it get better ? Have that now

 

[Adriel93]

@Veronica my noise sensitivity is not completely gone but it did get better

 

[Veronica]

@Adriel93 did you to an ent ?

 

[Adriel93]

@Veronica yes but they were no help.

 

[Veronica]

@Adriel93 they never are ... did they give you anything

 

[Adriel93]

@Veronica nope. They said it'll go away on its own. Like I said, it's gotten better but not 100%

Hi @Adriel93 sorry I realize this is a old post, but did this get any better for you? Do you still experience a feeling of "fullness" in the ear. Thanks, hope you're doing well!

@Sam98 it got a lot better! Most days I don't notice it, but whenever I do notice my H, it's not as bad as it used to be
