Brian is a trooper. Goes through so much. Lots of love.

So sorry for you Brian. I have severe tinnitus too. Be strong. Keep going. Something will change in the future.

Thank you so much for sharing Brian…we need more leading voices such as yours to move this condition up the agenda. Thank you for being bold enough to do so

Amazing, thanks, can certainly relate to all of this, not least the fact that yes it can get worse and that people don’t realise just how bad it is when it’s severe.

Thank you for sharing.

God bless u my brother u will get better you r strong

Thanks for sharing I totally identify I also notice bad weather magnifies all of it . I actually can get seizure like reactions From certain sounds and it does take hours to recover from 🫤 my blood pressure goes up in certain environments . Hardest part is def the isolation having to find a new path to experience your life in solitude . Stay strong ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I know my friend what you suffer because I suffer the same from 11 years now, worsening continuously. Even my voice is now painful. The only way we have is to stay in the silence, try to avoid setbacks, and move forward in our life. To be positive, some researchers, especially in the US (Dr Megan Wood team for example, Johns Hopkins University), progress in understanting the illness. We just have to wait and share our knowledge (I'm European). Take care man ;-)

I can relate to this . I too had such bad hyperacusis...I made a list of what caused me pain. MOST Sounds perceived amplified by 10 times as well Running water in shower, sink and in pipes as well. Air passing through ventilation systems ... Refrigerator ... Voices...especially female or very low voices The S consonant stabbed my ears far worse. Automobiles Television and radio Squealing brakes Birds Silverware pots and pans Crushing plastic bags sounded like a crackling fire Fluorescent lights Gas pipe lines Shopping carriages sqeaking wheels Etc...Etc..Etc... What worked Relaxation techniques...very soft sound therapies that I created for myself...I also used soft rain sound while sleeping. If I used anything too loud ...my tinnitus would spike. I also had a very bad case of misophonoa which led me to hate every mouth sound including chewing food..gum snapping..lip smacking . I would get furious and or sick from these sounds. Thankfully within 5 years I beat all of this .

I can sooooo relate to everything you say. I am currently in crisis because of it. "Normal" people just think we are mad/bi-polar/child haters etc etc etc. It is real and a living nightmare. I'm 67 and have had it almost all my life but it is getting so much worse lately. I have already moved home 33 times to get away from noise. I now would rather be totally deaf

Hope you get better…

My ears also swell up

i heard cold lazer therapy helps alot. and cranial sacral therpay i have it in my right ear,, it went away and my friend sneezed so loud in my car today that it all came back and now my right ear feels like hot burning pain .. i am going to try the crainal work and lazer

Hi Brian, I'm not really sure if I have the samething, I can be in my home with no earplug and I don't really have pain when I ear directly something but if I'm somewhere with a lot of noise, i can have a really big disconfort in my two ears for a long time, I have this since i'm 25 (now 27) and it's just getting worse. At the beggining I was able to go to restaurent but right now I cant do anything. TRT treatment look to work on people with hyperacusis but not with pain but I'm not sure where I am right now. Let me know if at the beggining it was like me. Thank you guys! I don't have any hope for a treatment, it look like we need another 10 000years before finding a real cure lol. It's just sad to have this at this age, I feel like i'm ready to end my life because i cant do the things that I like ...

Mine is similar to yours except mine got worse overtime

Hey there felliow HyberQ from NZ 🇳🇿 yeah WAVE(s) 🌊🏄‍♀️ Think about creating your very own YT channel a connection real with likekind HyperQ(s) out there.

Create your very own HyberQ YT channel... share that space real daily all the good and all the not so good. Be that voice YES 👍🏻💯

One misconception is that there is Permanent damage to the inner ear hair folicles. Not true. I believe these very hairs can get traumatized but over time can regain their normal function . How else can I recover from the same excruciating condition?

How did you get your Pain Hyperacusis? Acoustic trauma

I damaged by ears listening to headphones 24 7 for years....I think I have this...im watching this on my phone and the volume hurts my ears...mines 24 7 pain

Are you cured

Man, i am 24 years old. I have painful H. IT'S VERY DEBILITATING. In my case it all started after some stretching of my neck. Its getting worse. I don't really know what to do. I am in depression and isolated.

Try vertigen

I got news for you. I have hyperacusis for 30 years. No cure

Er zijn mogelijkheden om met hyperacusis te leven maar je moet goed zoeken bijvoorbeeld zoek naar homeopatische medicatie mocht je gezondheidsproblemen hebben door hyperacusis probeer knoflook pillen (gezond voor het hart) en gingko biloba en oordoppen op maat succes !!

It’s all about the hair cells in the cochlea. Regenerate those cells and hearing problems being reversed
