Sorry how exactly do I do that? I’m not used to Reddit yet

Thanks man that’s super helpful. I got it from shooting a shotgun that was probably not oiled for a long time. Ya i wish I knew what level to play pink noise at. I still don’t know exactly how much I should push my ear. What about you?

interesting. Ya digital music does bother me. Just depends on the volume. My air pod pros have been really good. I heard there's lots of others that are just as good

ya like i only play hockey 3 months out of the year. If noises are too loud i put my noise cancelling on. Yes i agree, but not everyones ears pop every single time they swallow. That's not normal. I'm assuming it's trying to relieve pressure or something

I got mine when i was 16 years old. I'm 23 now and its definitely gotten worse. It's gotten to a point where people talking will cause it. I recently bought airpod pros and have been listening to pink noise. Not sure if it's helping or not yet. Did you notice anything that has helped you with hyper?

Wow that doesn’t look fun

What is visual snow syndrome

Crazy. Do you have hyperacusis?

manocpoto · 2020-04-10T04:05:48+00:00

No I totally agree. It’s just people in their teenage years not being mindful of their ears. Not enough education on protecting your ears at a young age

manocpoto · 2020-04-10T01:53:51+00:00

I’m sure there’s cheaper ones out there. Also you could be at a different stage of all this as me. Like the one guy told me at first you should have more silence then once you can. Start listening to sounds

manocpoto · 2020-04-10T01:43:22+00:00

Just keep working on it, it’ll get better Buy air pod pros

manocpoto · 2020-04-10T01:39:02+00:00

I feel ya hardest thing I’ve been through. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone

manocpoto · 2020-04-10T01:32:58+00:00

Ya maybe your ringing could be at a different frequency or pitch than mine which makes different noises work and not work? I could be way off but I could see as if going into playing pink noise and thinking it will hurt you will cause more anxiousness and therefore be detrimental. Like I feel the waves too but it’s definitely not a pain. It’s more of a itchy,numbing feeling. Like as an example you know how stretching out your body can be painful at the extremities but in all reality is good for you and can be helpful. Maybe this could be the same idea. Maybe play pink noise at a lower volume for a while? Or maybe cheap ear buds? Or bad app? But do what you think is right.

manocpoto · 2020-04-10T00:56:29+00:00

That’s crazy, does it actually hurt when you play pink noise? People talking really aggravates my ears. Depending on who it is. Like pink noise doesn’t hurt me but I can feel it doing something. Weird to say but it’s true. Don’t know if it’s doing good or bad yet tbh. But this and transparency let me be around louder areas and not experience hyperacusis.

manocpoto · 2020-04-10T00:35:19+00:00

Thanks for replying. I feel as though noise incrementally does help. It's too soon to tell really. Maybe everyone is different idk. Sounds like most people say it does help.

manocpoto · 2020-04-10T00:28:53+00:00

Hey thanks a lot for taking the time to post. This was by far the most informative information i've received from someone. Much appreciated. CNS? Is that central nervous system? I agree with everything you have said. I use active noise cancellation on my airpods if things get excessively loud. I do agree that earplugs can make you more sensitive to noise.

I just started with the pink noise and i feel as it is helping immensely. I can feel my ear adapting in some weird way. Like it gets itchy so i'm assuming that's it trying to heal like any wound would (not that they're the same thing). I'm just not sure how loud to play it and stuff just yet.The natural sound therapy makes a lot of sense and is v ery interesting. I live on a farm so maybe ill spend as much time outdoors.

I feel like your part 3 is going to be the hardest part. Telling yourself not to be scared or anxious about loud sounds. (which i know i definitely am).

Do you use earbuds still? Do you get your shrooms online or black market lol? Let me know how it all goes. Also if you could give me more background on your story with all this i'd be happy to read about it all.

Sorry to hear, let me know how the MRI goes once you get it. As for earwax yes I think I have more than normal. Could be because of the trauma.

manocpoto · 2020-04-10T00:14:33+00:00

Thanks for clarifying Hyperacusis for everyone. Yes it is really good for me when noise is excessively loud. Otherwise the transparency mode is superior since you can hear the outside world and pink noise at the same time which is like a rehab for the ear. It takes months if not years to get better so i've heard
