When i was digging without earplugs i hit a stone extremly hard with my shovel and it made a superloud KLING sound... Im trying to just "go with the flow" more now and not go into panicmode everytime i hear something loud, i also try to not overprotect when i do normal not loud stuff (under 70 DB). Hope i dont spike, just wanted to do some relaxing gardening. -.-

Hi Suz, how are you doing now? I saw you had a lot of trouble with nasal steroid spray... they didn't do me any favours either.

Its hard to do stuff in the garden atm. Need to cut stones with a grinder so i have had my dad come to cut them for me since its to loud for me. Tried drill and use a chisel but got around 110DB so i didnt dare to challenge it. Third time my dad is here now to help me cut for like 2-3 minutes each time... Man he most think im supersilly.

I love my life, my wife, and my kids. So its a shame tinnitus gets to steer the ship. Everything now revoles around this horrid condition and I hate it.

My noisy left ear really sucks. I get relief when I sleep but when I wake up it rears its ugly head in my left ear. I m still looking for some permanent relief.

3/3:Just wanted to come on here and update.. It doesn't always resolve itself. Ive read that for most people it gets better with time, for me it didn't. Astonishingly, I don't have tinnitus and I don't think I have hearing loss so at least I have that. Also, I get some pain but not that much and, like I previously mentioned, my condition never worsened.

2/3 My tolerance is not good so I am constantly 'on guard' but I am pleased to say I didn't get worse? I also struggle with high frequency sounds which means I always need to be wearing ear plugs when I leave my house because those noises are distressing, not because I believe they are harming me. I think I have TTS too because my main symptoms are aural fullness and feeling my ear drum 'jump'.

1/3: I don't know if anyone remembers me but I was 16 and developed Hyperacusis back in 2022. I received support here but I also scared myself silly reading all the posts I did, I wish I had just pursued medical help. I remember some of the people I spoke with but a lot of them seem to be inactive now :(. I'm back here again at 19 because I never improved unfortunately and I'm pretty sure my condition is permanent.

You are young,so a lot can still happen for you. My number one rule for everyone unfortunate enough to get t/h is to stay away from "horror stories". It will feed the brain with information that reinforces that fight or flight cycle. Not a good starting point at all. If you haven't seeked out for any professional help yet, you should take the step.

How are you doing. I'm hanging in there. So glad summer is here. Been working in my yard and going to my sisters next weekend.

I am really trying... but I am not sure I can "recover" from this more than once. I should of been more careful. Water under the bridge as they say. Every time it seems like things are going in a positive direction, T smacks me down again. Life can be cruel. 😢

Sorry you're going through a rough patch. I'm in the same situation. 35 years of tinnitus with many spikes. As we know time will help us habituate. We did it before and it can be done again! Pray for better treatments or cure! Hang in we're in this together.

It's so difficult. It's hard not to ruminate about what we could have done differently.

Hey Sharon how old are you happy for you since you are dealing better this shit is worst disease on planet
SharonBell
I will be 51 this month. Yes it is the worst think ever, but I just stay busy and try not to think about it even though I hear it all the time. I do the things I use to and try to have a normal life because I really don't have a choice or stay shut up in my house.

Hi Erika. I hope you're doing well. I saw that you mentioned your distortions came back. Did they go away a second time? I'm dealing with my own second round of distortions after beating the first.

Ive actually had 2 days of VERY calm and good tinnitus. Ive even manage to hammer down conrete stuff that you walk on with a rubber hammer (ofc with earplugs) and no spike! So nice being outside in the warmth and do "labour" and just be able to be to good use for once! :)

Extremely loud spike in T the last few weeks. I've been so careful this last year, I have no idea why it's so bad suddenly.
