Hyperacusis = Constant Pain or Not?

[1000]

I have doubts...

Can hyperacusis be improved? What is the best thing to do? Silence? Exposed to moderate sounds? Pink or purple noise?

What has helped you? Tell me please.

Anyone who had constant pain and now it's all gone, give me your strategy.

Listen to the signals given to you by your own body. If you feel better after being exposed to moderate noises (and your H or T doesn't spike), then this would be ok for you. If the noise causes discomfort or even spikes, then it makes sense to stay away from that noise.

The pain it's there all the time like burning.

The doctors can't help us with tinnitus and hyperacusis. However, the above doesn't sound like tinnitus or hyperacusis. Have you tried asking an ENT for help?!

Yes no avail. It's burning all the time. Ct scan normal. No infection.

How did it start? How long have you been experiencing this? How many ENTs have you seen?

Acoustic Trauma, kind of like a bruise.

Hyperacusis in 90% of time gets better, but sometimes sadly it remains permanent. Have Sound Machine on when you sleep at night, set it below the tinnitus. I am still dealing with hyperacusis from my second acoustic trauma that I got in January.

On same ear? You dont get that burning pain?

 

[1000]

Yes like a bruise feeling... I feel very traumatic. The t it's really loud. I used to have t before this but it was low and more like cricket.

When I had my first acoustic trauma I had no hyperacusis.
My ENT or Audiologist didnt believe I had a acoustic trauma but tumor, blood cancer, thyroid cancer, meniere, cochlear hydrops, so my eNT wanted me to do a ear irrigation and vemp test which was loud as hell. From then my T doubled in volume from a 4 to 8, and I got hyperacusis on my left ear and severe hyperacusis on my right ear. Talking or laughing hurts my ears, whether I laugh or talk, whether other people. It has not gotten better. I dont get burning pain but a stabbing pain in both ears.
Before T and H began I would get cool feelings, like water dripping in the ear. on September 22 (evening) and Jan 15 (evening). T and H have not gotten better, 0 improvement sadly, but in your case it might improve since you are still early into this, and you haven't had multiple traumas caused.

I had a stabbing feeling few days ago...sometimes I get that sensation.

I was in a loud concert in a small restaurant.

That's exactly it. I am still dealing with it and it has been what 8 months so far and almost entering 9 month with Severe T and H. I use sound machine on at night and set it below my T. Oh How I wish I can go back to October 2017 when I had mild T and ho hyperacusis
BE careful now and do not do any loud ear tests. I have learned my lesson for all times.

 

[1000]

I even feel the top of my head weird like nerves sensation.

But the pain burning and cooling it's getting me insanse....

I wish you can recover from that h as much I want it for myself to get this burning pain away.

I wish I could go back to that day .... Wouldn't have gone to that place but my aunt's ex took me...so I had no idea.... Pst

your case is so extreme though.
So you have mid hearing loss on both ears?

Between 25 and 30.

The t its louddddddddd. But the pain... Right now you feel a lot of pain? Like during the night it kinda kinda gets a bit better...

I get to hear my heartbeats its insane.

Right now I dont feel the burning but the pain and the sensibility.

Slept for an hour and took 10mg melatonin...

What is worse for you @dpdx, tinnitus or hyperacusis?

The painnnnnn

 

[Taylorslay]

To answer the question in the title. It depends. Everyone is different. Some poeple have instant pain, some people have constant pain. Some people don't have pain but instead they have loudness hyperacusis. Then there is people like myself who have had both instant pain and loudness hyperacusis. Now my pain hyperacusis has gone away. I only have loudness hyperacusis but it's extremely mild.

Do you feel any better? How is your tinnitus and did your hearing perhaps get a little bit better?

Were you taking any supplements? Or medication?

I'm feeling the stabbing pain now. Can the car AC could be causing it?
