Hello,
I developed tinnitus and loudness hyperacusis following an acoustic shock. In addition to the tinnitus, I sometimes feel pressure in my inner ear and jaw, although this sensation doesn't last long. I also experience spasms in my left ear in response to certain sounds.
Since then, my life has become a nightmare. I cry from morning until night and am on sick leave. Whenever I go outside, I wear silicone earplugs and use earmuffs when taking public transportation.
I don't know how to manage these conditions. My tinnitus is not very loud—I'd rate it around a 3 out of 10—and I only hear it in quiet rooms. However, the hyperacusis is very disruptive and difficult to cope with.
I am considering undergoing a Low-Level Tinnitus Therapy (LTTT) session at a clinic, but I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on this situation.
