TINNITUS & HYPERACUSIS
TINNITUS Who said this was nothing, Huh? Imagine being at a movie where the sound track is turned to the highest volume. Actors’ voices are screaming at you. After five minutes, you leave holding your ears and cursing the theater for its poor judgment. Turning newspaper pages, running water in the kitchen sink, your child placing dishes and silverware on the table – all are intolerable to your ears. A baby cries or a truck screeches its brakes to a halt and the sound is excruciating. What …
ahh are you aiming to try that sound therapy experiment? where you tone down the sound just below the sound of your own, listen to it for about 30mins and it stops it for a few days?
hyperacusis is different than tinitus.
hyperacusis is being hyper acute.
everyone seems to be calling it the same.
this is bad because we who acually have real hyperacusis will be overlooked.
I have it as well
the frequency is very similar to my own. Had it for 10 years. WHATS THIS FREQUENCY PLEASE? In hertz. I’m trying some self experimentation and I’d love to know this frequency. It will put me close to my own. Thanks for your help tinnitus freak!
i used to listen to music loud and crank my guitar amp, but now i turn it all down or use earplugs. any musicians reading this, turn it down or get earplugs or you will regret it!
why do i have to listen to music so loud.
you don’t get reminded of a scar every single moment of the day. Espacially when it’s underneath your clothing. Tinnitus is making my live harder every day. But at least, i’m glad you can live with it.
it works for 1 weeks at max. After a few weeks, the pink noise troubles even more.
when will i ever rest again? take a guess… when i’m dead.
I turned it all of and tried to get some rest. But i didn’t rest ever since
It sucks all night, it sucks all days. Fuck! It suck all the time.
I’m so tired of it!
so am i
>.> i have it also >.> it sucks at night
try hearing the pink noise, this can help to reduce tinnitus…. reply me if it works 4 yu, thanks…
I have tinnitus :/
make it stoooop!
Hyperacusis for me is discomfort when hearing high frequency sounds like brakes squealing or crockery knocking together
HYPERACUSIS: These individuals have a collapsed tolerance to normal environmental sound. The term commonly used to describe this condition is ‘hyperacusis’. Hyperacusis can come on gradually or occur suddenly where the patient finds themself in a state of crisis. Patients who have a collapsed tolerance to sound need to have their Loudness Discomfort Levels (LDL’s) established by a hearing healthcare professional. To find out more, go ONLINE
To be honest reading this up on the internet makes me think about it more, its just like a scar or anything, its a human function and I just live with it.
I got the tinnitus back after 17 years when my audiologist put a large sound on my deaf ear. I t hurt so much and got tinnitus back.
Mine get worse when I stay at the computer for very long time. First fullness then slowly picks up and then vertigo. I am deaf by left ear and it has been nightmere
What is hyperacusis?
i have it sorta like this sound i cant hear it when im outdoors? the more i think about it the more i can heaer it?
mine is very loud at times
I experienced the hypoeracusis thing recently i was at a lecture and the teacher ws talking it seemed like with arrays of dynamite. it was painful to endure I had cotton swab plugging my ears for the next day .
This is our brains music. Sounds kinda funny i know but think about it. im trying to make friends with my tinnitus because hating it has done absolutely nothing positive. Yes we all have it.
I agree with Sokool001. Personally, I think everyone has a little tinnitus. According to a def(inition), if you go somewhere in complete silence, you will hear your ear drums or else. Try the country. Those drums sound sort of like the beach’s waves or sea shells. It’s hard to describe. A buzzing sound varies. I mean some buzzes people describe as long beeps. To me, it’s either the bass sound in your car, like a bee, long beeps, a saw with earplugs and muffs etc.
