Hey all.
Hyperacusis and tinnitus sufferer here. I couldn't care less about tinnitus. I've gotten used to the 'eeeeeee' sound in the last 8 months.
But my hyperacusis is very concerning. For background, I think I got all of this from acoustic trauma. I was in a band. Then went to a REALLY loud nightclub a year ago like an idiot. My tinnitus and hyperacusis weren't that bad the days following the club. But then I got an ear infection in January. Since then -- I've been lucky not to lose my mind.
Anyway -- there's so much conflicting information about hyperacusis. I don't think I have loudness hyperacusis. Just noxacusis. It seems like my ears feel better in the morning. As in -- no throbbing pain in silence. But as the day wears on, even in silence, they hurt.
Do you think I should cover up with earmuffs and earplugs wherever I go for a while? See if that helps?
Thanks a lot. I've had a lot of health issues. Asthma. Back pain. Drug addiction. But man -- this is a maddening one.
