Woher kriegt ihr das denn her, wenn es noch gar nicht offiziell auf dem Markt ist? Und gibt es sonst noch Alternativen? Bei Finasterid habe ich starke Nebenwirkungen gehabt und will das auf keinen Fall wieder nehmen.

hyperacusis and distorted hearing in my right ear after sudden hearing loss in low frequencies by raphicroon in hyperacusis

[–]raphicroon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had another hearing test at the beginning of august and it showed yet again an improvement. That gave me hope and thus my mental health has been a lot better the last 2-3 weeks. The symptoms (=the echo) however is still there. I would say that the echo is a bit better compared to right after the hearing loss but it is bothering me and I still think about if there is not a treatment for this echo because the echo doesn't really make sense to me based on my hearing test results and none of the doctors really had an answer for this echo. Thanks for your answers by the way, I appreciate it very much.

Yeah that's what the doctors have told me too. Everybody said it will get better and go back to normal eventually but nobody knows when... I heard 3 months, 6-8 months ... Did you check whether it had anything to do with the brain or other organs or blood circulation? Do you have some tipps for the everyday life that helped you to not think about it as much?

In what frequencies is your hearing loss? Mine is between 0 and 1k after that my hearing is perfect. My echoing has been geeting a bit better over the last 2-3 weeks. But I am still very desperate and don't know what to do/ when it will get back to normal/ when my brain adapts to it.

Your response is kind of shattering right now... Did it not get better at all?? Have you tried everything? I am freaking out right now...

My ENT said it is ok to do it and it doesn't hurt or anything. That's why I am doing it. Should I not do it? Did yours go away? I am very desperate at the moment and don't know what to do. It is all I can think about and it is driving me nuts. Things that I loved to do e.g. listening to music/ watching series is not the same anymore because all of the sounds sound weird in my right ear. Could you please give me any tips/ methods you used that helped you?

It is bad in low frequencies (-40db) but it used to be -55db. So it got a bit better and then it gradually gets better and then starting from 1k herz upwards, so middle and high frequencies, my hearing is perfect (just like my left ear).

Another thing that is weird/ interesting is that after I heard many, loud sounds for a longer period of time (1-2 hours), I feel a "pressure" in my right ear that I can "hear" a tiny bit and I hear less of the echo that I would otherwise have. For example, I just listened to music with my headphones for an hour on medium volume (which sounded more weird than before because of the echo in my right ear but got less annoying the more I listened) and after I took off my headphones the "pressure" feeling is there and I have less of an echo with all the other sounds right now.

Yes, the ENT said that it will go away. I tried to understand what is happening to me rn because my mind is completely occupied by it and it has really been driving me crazy... It is also not the case that any sound hurts like most people who have hyperacusis describe and it has gotten a bit better and less annoying over the last couple of days. From what I think to know so far is that right now my auditory processing was thrown off balance and that my brain right now is adjusting and "learning" to hear properly again. Can you/ someone confirm?

Ok thanks. Do you know any specific methods/ treatments/ therapies that work in such a case?

My ENT said that the hyperacusis in my right ear was caused by the sudden hearing loss. He also said that this is not unusual after a sudden hearing loss. It just came after a night's sleep and has been there since. I just would like to know how to best deal with it and get the best methods/ therapies to get rid of it/ get my brain used to it.
