This June it'll be 4 months with since I got hyperacusis. Is it still possible to go away on its own without treating it? I feel like it's gotten better but I'm sill afraid that I'm stuck with it forever or that it might get worse.

If you dont have hearing loss then you have more chance to heal naturally said by one of ent doc.
Hang on there
It can take longer than 4 months yes, the trick is to play it by ear (see what I did there) and not think about it.
Expose yourself to sound sensibly and do not gocrazy with it such as concerts and stuff.
I caught hearing sensitivity after an ambulance blasted its sirens practically right next to me and it injured my hearing up to the point I had hearing sentivity, even sounds of money clanking together in someone's pocket would make me jump.
A year later I became a lot more tolerant. I'm not saying it will take you a year but I am saying that in most cases it improves :]

If it got better, it ought to continue gradually getting better. My H took about 12 months to fully resolve.
Peep my recovery story here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/thread...om-my-hyperacusis-and-chronic-ear-pain.14404/
Went from severe, life debilitating hyperacusis to complete recovery. It does get better!

It got a lot better for me as well with time and by slowly exposing myself to more and more sound in daily life as well as to pink noise, in an effort to desensitize. It took a year for me but I'm close to fully recovered. Improvement is definitely possible but sometimes it can be very slow. Best of luck to you.

Did you have the searing/burning delayed type of pain that lasted for hours/days after sound or the type that makes you flinch/feel like stabby/jolting feelings to cutlery? There's always the discussion on which types respond well to sound so it's an important detail to know when pink noise or improvement are mentioned.

Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand, pink noise or sound exposure is not a solution for pain hyperacusis. It seems to only show improvements in quite a few (but not all) cases of loudness hyperacusis. I don't think the two types have the same mechanisms.

That's what I thought, but one of his other posts mentions "pain in ears" though doesn't describe what type.
