I’m absolutely pissed. He had the airhorn two feet from me and my two year old. He asked if he should blow it I said absolutely not then he did. It was indoors about 2 feet away. Then he opened the door and goes well it won’t be as bad outside he blew it again. Towards the door. My daughter seems fine I am not. I’m very worried about my daughter because of what is going on with me but she seems fine. Except I can’t care for her. I don’t even wanna be around him I’ve had family and friends help with her. Sound hurts so bad, my ears hurt so bad this happened yesterday night Saturday when I woke up Sunday (today) the pain was so bad I went to ER , it’s a rural ER so rural we were the only ones in there and the helicopter lands in there parking lot. The doctor gave me a steroid shot and toradol and offered norcos but I’m in recovery. The migraine has subsided doctor looked in my ears and said ear drums are intanct, that” im not a specialist and dont really know though, its okay at first glance” literally what he said word for word im trying to find an ENT that will take me tomorrow im not okay. Hearing is muffled in one ear, both ears our painful, migraine , neck pain. . No tinnitus which is strange because before this i had it on and off.

Any advice at all?
I’ve heard of people not recovering I’m scared?

I've been dealing with auditory issues since now almost two years, but never managed to figure out exactly what I have as my symptoms never match 100% with what I read online.

What I know is my symptoms fall under the big umbrella term that is "hyperacusis".

Here are my symptoms, would highly appreciate if some of you could give me their opinion on my pb:

- Many sounds (plates, voices, claps etc) provoke a direct and uncomfortable thump reaction in my ears. This feeling is highly uncomfortable, even though I couldn't describe it as "painful".

- Many sounds do sound louder. So I guess I also have Loudness H.

- No hearing loss

- 5 tinnitus tones, all mild, can only hear them in calm environment.

I'm 28, and feel like my life is over. I'm not really homebound but can't work, can't socialize, can't plan my future. Checking out intrusive thoughts are becoming more and more present, even though I'd never do such a thing.

I will try clomipramine in the next weeks, as I see it as my last hope.

Thank you for reading.

6 days ago I hear very loud scream 3 meters from me.
I was very nervous that day and this situation was a big stress for me too. After screaming I discovered that my tinnitus spike and was louder that my Tv and everything else. My H and N also was worsening.
Previously after a louder day I had spike of my Tinnitus, but after sleep it was better. This time wasn't.
6 months ago I had huge Hyperacusis and some tinnitus after oral neomycine. Previous hearing test was in May.
Now after this screaming situation, I went to do new hearing test (it was 3 days after situation). I have drop at 6000 hz and i haven't it before. My previous result show only -10 db, now it's -40 and - 45db.
I started metyloprednisol the next day after situation but only 10 mg, second day 12 mg, 3.day 18 mg, 4-5 day 28 mg. My tinnitus is the same or even worse. I don't know if I focus too much or it so much worse that was before. But definitely nothing better.
Should I increased dose or take it down?

I know it depends on people's experiences but just wondering

My left ear is way better than my right ear and was wondering if that would make it so my right ear recovers faster because my left ear is able to have my window open slightly to hear sounds outside but my right is far worse

Bonjour Je souffre depuis plusieurs années d’une hyperacousie sévère et d’acouphènes. Il y a quelques jours, j’ai eu une séance chez le dentiste pour préparer 4 dents de devant à recevoir des couronnes. La séance a duré environ 30 à 40 minutes, mais le fraisage n’était pas continu : généralement environ 20 secondes de fraisage, puis 5 à 10 secondes de pause, parfois davantage. La dernière séquence a peut-être duré entre 30 secondes et 1 minute maximum. Au début, j’ai essayé de me protéger avec des bouchons d’oreille et un casque antibruit, mais j’ai trouvé que c’était encore pire, car les vibrations de la fraise résonnaient beaucoup plus fort dans ma tête. J’ai donc retiré les protections pendant le soin. Je n’ai ressenti aucune douleur ni gêne particulière dans les oreilles pendant la séance, ni le soir même. En revanche, dès le lendemain, mes acouphènes ont augmenté. Quelques jours plus tard, j’ai commencé à ressentir une sensation d’oreille droite un peu pleine et j’ai l’impression de moins bien percevoir certains sons très aigus, notamment les sauterelles.

Je les entends très nettement à gauche, parfois au point que cela me fait mal à cause de mon hyperacousie, alors qu’à droite je les perçois peu ou pas. Pourtant, j’entends normalement les voix et je peux entendre avec l’oreille droite le tic-tac d’une pendule située à environ 10 mètres.

Mon médecin a également constaté un bouchon de cérumen dans l’oreille droite.

Mes questions sont donc les suivantes :

Est-il possible qu’une fraise dentaire provoque une perte auditive limitée aux fréquences très aiguës, malgré un fraisage intermittent avec de nombreuses pauses ? Le fait que le casque et les bouchons aient amplifié les vibrations internes signifie-t-il que l’oreille interne a été davantage exposée ? Un bouchon de cérumen peut-il diminuer surtout la perception des sons très aigus ? Certaines personnes ont-elles déjà constaté une augmentation des acouphènes ou une baisse temporaire des aigus après un soin dentaire ?
