Investigating the Impact of Sound Sensitivity in Tinnitus

Hi all,
Having hyperacusis and tinnitus has been the most challenging journey of my life. I was a professional musician but had to quit because of my symptoms, am now a doctoral psychology student and doing research to study T&H.

If those of you who also have sound sensitivity symptoms could please take this survey, it would be thoroughly appreciated. I am doing a study to help audiologists and doctors better understand what we all go through.

Wishing us all peace and that a cure may come soon.

Please take my survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/soundsensitivetinnitus
I took this earlier. How many responses do you currently have?
 
Done.
If you allow a suggestion: I know that in surveys similar questions are put in different places in order to see if the person who is answering is giving the same answer (in other words to see if he is consistent, or if he is telling the truth), but this has the awful drawback of making the survey way too long and potentially make the people quit the survey.
I almost quit the survey. I had to push myself to finish it.
A compromise solution to this problem would be to split the survey in two parts, if possible.
Just my 2 cents, usable or not.
 
@Benjamin Greenberg It is somewhat comforting to know I'm not the only one that has quit music due to the same reasons. As a professional violinist, I understand how difficult it is to have devoted your life to your craft only for it to be robbed from you by tinnitus and hyperacusis. My heart goes out to you my friend and I will take part in your survey. Thank you for doing something to help us all.
 
Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who participated!!

The survey have 420 total hits and 277 completions, which for a dissertation is a pretty great sample size. Much gratitude to this community for all the wonderful support, but the survey is now closed and analysis begins...

If anyone will be at the American Auditory Society conference in Scottsdale, AZ this week, come see me present a poster of some preliminary results - I would love to meet you!!

Please put you results up in here. I'm a uk resident so won't be able to come see you.
