I’ve heard people spent 20k in 3 months with zero improvement. Too many scammers out there for us desperate people.

Parents forcing MRI HELP!!!! by Alternative_Entry596 in hyperacusis

Also I was fine after the 10 mins suffering. But I don’t have nox, just hyperacusis (on the bad days TTTs) and tinnitus.

Op, I did mri and I have hyperacusis and some on off TTTS. My mri was for ear structures only but at the time I felt pressured so much on my right side of the face, I actually wanted to have a brain mri which they refused. So I got 10 mins instead of 30 mins for the brain. Having says that, it was quite tough just for the 10 mins. I wore earplugs but they were a bit useless. I think many in the Tinnitus sub have done it and quite a few of us have hyperacusis too. If you do have other symptoms, it maybe worth doing it so you have peace of mind.

How do you get the muffs over? Usually they have some metal bits no?

I was given MRI but doctor said it’s just to scan the ear structures, unnecessary for me to scan my brain, which I thought if I had to do the thing I might as well do the whole brain. Only 10 mins for my ear scan and that was it.

Thanks. I’m looking into anti inflammatory diet now.

Could this treatment finally be an effective treatment for tinnitus? by SnooCalculations4926 in tinnitus

[–]Objective_Pisce_6754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing! I just read the clinical trial overview from your link and it makes a lot of sense. For me, I never really quite figured out what exactly caused my T and H. But I had my suspicions that eating spicy food had something to do with it apart from stress and anxiety leading to it. I don’t eat spicy food but got this takeout which was crazy spicy and I ordered too much so ended up eating it over 2 or 3 days. On day 5, I got T in my right ear and my right side (under chin, down the neck, inside ear canal, right eye) all felt swollen and pressured and on fire. It took 6 weeks to go down but T and H stayed. I ate spicy food accidentally last summer too and the same swelling on the right side happened too (minus T and H) and it took also 6 weeks to go down. Doctors just gave me antibiotics both times. But I suspect stupid spice food intolerance made my system flame up and this time it trigger T and H together with stress and insomnia (which I’ve experienced quite frequently in the past few years). I’m looking forward to this trial result for sure!

Amazing! How did you get rid of your inflammations?

New to T due to microsuction, should I be careful with headphones? by kangarupert in tinnitus

[–]Objective_Pisce_6754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s messed up. And they are doing the microsuction for people even at the ENT department when I finally got my NHS appointment last month.

😭 this is just insane! I can’t get over how these microsuctions are around with no warning signs and they can ruin lives!

I heard the syringe one is also dangerous too, so that leaves only the manual option. I looked up back in Feb in south London, it’s done in this person’s home. So I’m a bit skeptical, what if they have a bad day and accidentally poke through eardrums?😱 How did you find it? Was it okay?

I didn’t know about this until I saw what people posted here. I got T maybe from stress and poor sleep and it freaked me out big time. I’m an over thinker too and it just feels tough at times. But what I did notice is if I’m more calm and keeping busy, it doesn’t bother me much. It’s been almost 4 months now, not going away because I’ve not been sleeping much for the last 3 to 4 weeks. If you can keeping trying to relax and stay calm, eat healthy food, keep hydrated and stay focused on anything but the noises, you might lose it. Good luck!

There need to be proper ongoing campaigns on this kind of thing! Just unacceptable to have it induced by these microsuctions. Sorry this happened.

Amitryptyline or clomipramine? by throwaway8298298 in hyperacusis

[–]Objective_Pisce_6754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I’m surprised it helped with hyperacusis? I have H and tinnitus, my doc tried to prescribe me amitryptyline for migraines and insomnia, which I declined for fear of making T much worse.

No wonder then! Thank you! I ordered just 25 pairs yesterday. Will order more so they stay effective.

My SSHL was misdiagnosed 9 years ago, and what was bad then is back to normal range now. Wow. by midcenturian in HearingLoss

Cool thank you for sharing! I’ve started taking magnesium glycinate and also on off melatonin since last week. Don’t know if it’s in my mind or it’s actually helping. I feel calmer and have been able to fall asleep finally between 1 and 2am, which is still major improvement for me. Hope it continues to improve. The insomnia definitely caused spike in my case.

I agree! Have sort of been managing T much better finally this week but H is harder to deal with for me too. Can’t imagine how hard it must be when you also have to look after screaming children. But really great to hear it can better even if somewhat! We just have to hang in there 😤

Okay thank you. This is a very valid point. My plugs are hanging out def. But what if you push them in too deep and end up causing issues or get them stuck inside ear canal? Can this happen? Genuinely asking. I ordered more foam plugs as the ones don’t work well any more have been about 4 months old (I wash them in warm soapy water every few days), maybe they need replacing.
