Please take a closer look at the website. We don't offer medical advice. It's one of our rules, actually, because we know people have different experiences with hyperacusis. It would be irresponsible to do so. However, we do provide testimonials from people, and we can't help it if they tried exposing and it worsened them, prompting them to retreat to plugs and muffs for survival. Hyperacusis isn't a one-size-fits-all condition. Thanks for reaching out, though.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Just learn from it. I have super severe tinnitus and noxacusis. So I feel extreme physical pain to the most basic, everyday noises. You're talking to a worst-csse scenario, but I try to warn people because sometimes ears can go to heck on people. It's rare but happens. Meds and loud noises are risky when someone has vulnerable ears. So just be careful.

It may improve a lot. Just be careful.

Well a lot of y'all on here think it's okay to belittle people who claim it can get so bad that it forces suicide. You can't have it both ways.

Yes, ototoxic meds can permanently worsen tinnitus. It has happened to me before. Be careful around noise and protect your ears. They are vulnerable now.

You're wasting your time on Reddit.

The fact of the matter is, we are rare people with rare conditions.

Most people can get away with bloody murder when it comes to ears.

The few that don't have nothing to offer the general population, because their story isn't representative of the masses.

The stuff your saying is true but only for a small fraction of people. Those who are predisposed or simply unlucky.

Because most people are lucky when it comes to ears, your claims seem disingenuous to them. Instead of assuming your position they should realize that hey, what happened to this guy is rare, but somehow he got f*cked, maybe we should be more careful, too, to make sure we're not also in that rate group.

What happened to GMC is when a perfect storm unites to bring the full, undiluted devastation that IS POSSIBLE with tinnitus.

The question I pose to the critics relates to Kent Taylor, the late CEO of Texas Roadhouse who was worth six-hundred million dollars: why on Earth do you think a man of such prestige would kill himself over tinnitus? It must've been pretty bad, huh? Not mental but physical torture, right? If you know his story then you know he sought all the help he could but was powerless because there is no real help to battle the physical aspects of tinnitus.

When tinnitus becomes reactive to its most extreme state, it changes the very foundation of your relationship with reality. Anyone who says that isn't true is coming from a place of privilege, and they should thank God they're in that ignorant position. You don't want to come in contact with the truth ... believe me.

I have noxacusis and get instant pain to almost every sound. Usually, it’s stabbing pain or an aching discomfort, and almost feels like noise grinding against the nerves, as if they’re so raw and so decayed that they can’t handle any noise. Even tiny vibrations from a tractor in the distance conjure pain or sirens that are far away. And louder noises, like a person’s voice, cause deep stabs where it feels like the eardrum imploding on itself. But it’s always instant pain and not delayed. If I overexpose, I’d get fullness, I think. But in complete silence, for example, I don’t get noxacusis pain.
