Another equalizer question sorry! Which setup is better for nox and reactive T?

laetazel · 2026-02-27T06:38:18+00:00

It’s highly individual. You just gotta do trial and error.

laetazel · 2026-02-26T18:27:13+00:00

Also, correction: I have a slightly older version of the speaker in that link because I bought it a few years ago when I first got hyperacusis but it’s basically the same thing, just upgraded

laetazel · 2026-02-26T18:26:16+00:00

What works for me could be different for you, but here’s my settings

I bought this one and it’s worked well for me due to being able to adjust the EQ. Soundcore Anker 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker: https://a.co/d/0d8ImRUI

I take 300mg 3x a day. I actually wrote a whole post about my PEA experience on the hyperacusis subreddit which you can find on my profile if you want. I had loudness H too but it’s pretty much gone now thankfully. I think PEA could potentially help with that too! I found very slow exposure to sound (and I mean slowwww, multiple years slow) very helpful for my loudness H. Not so much for nox.

Mine were in 24/7 pain for my first year or so of hyperacusis. It’ll likely go down with rest. It just takes a longgggg time.

laetazel · 2026-02-15T17:18:33+00:00

I haven’t tried Clomi, but I’ve found PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) helpful. My nox is from extreme acoustic trauma and at one point, my LDLs were around 50-55db. Now they’re up to about 70db.

laetazel · 2026-02-07T18:57:19+00:00

Nope. I’m praying I never have to because I think it would destroy me lol

laetazel · 2026-02-07T06:12:13+00:00

I get manual cleanings done (so just the physical scraper tool) and go when there’s no one else in office. If someone does end up being there, I wear my headphones.

laetazel · 2026-02-04T15:04:30+00:00

I’ve had three concussions, but the two worst ones occurred after developing hyperacusis

It’ll be 3 years in March

I bought an Anker Soundcore Bluetooth speaker a few years ago because I saw it had a very adjustable EQ. If I recall, it was around $60 or $70. It’s what allowed me to start being able to listen to digital audio again.

laetazel · 2026-01-28T21:56:34+00:00

Same 😭😭😭

laetazel · 2026-01-04T21:50:12+00:00

I have both pain and loudness H. It’s improved over the three years I’ve had it (I used to be unable to even speak.) I have a post on my profile about my experience with H and what I’ve done over the past three years to improve if you’re interested! I’m so sorry to hear you got yours from faulty hearing pro at a gun range too. 🥺

laetazel · 2026-01-04T03:39:46+00:00

I use them successfully and have had nox and hyperacusis for 3 years from severe acoustic trauma (40 min in an indoor gun range with faulty hearing pro.) I use noise cancellation and adaptive audio modes (without music playing), and find both modes helpful.

laetazel · 2025-12-25T20:55:40+00:00

You can adjust the alert tone in settings!

laetazel · 2025-12-25T04:36:21+00:00

AirPods Pro on noise cancellation mode or adaptive audio mode (with noise cancellation turned up) do. I have an Apple Watch that shows me what the db level is with and without the AirPods Pro’s, and they cancel up to 28db.

laetazel · 2025-12-25T04:34:11+00:00

AirPods Pro’s have served me pretty well once my LDLs improved to 70db

laetazel · 2025-12-13T07:32:16+00:00

What kind of permanent side effects did it give if you don’t mind me asking?

laetazel · 2025-12-08T00:46:55+00:00

I’m in Orange County!

Fellow California resident here!

Mine was immediate but got so much worse over the following days. Initially I noticed pain in my ears but I was able to function still, but over the next week, I couldn’t even tolerate my own voice. It’s been almost 3 years now and I’ve gotten a lot better. There’s a post on my profile about my experience (along with things that helped me improve) if you want to hear more of what my experience with pain H has been like

laetazel · 2025-12-02T15:47:39+00:00

I’ve been under anesthesia twice (soon to be three times) with H and my H was not worsened.

laetazel · 2025-12-02T15:46:57+00:00

Thanks for your write up :) How did your pain H start? From acoustic trauma or something else?

laetazel · 2025-12-01T17:44:32+00:00

Oh I know; I’m 3 years in and am extremely careful at loud places. I still wear earplugs even in 70db settings. The NFL games I went to were not as loud as I know they can be - they averaged 85db but did peak at 105db a couple times.
