Seeking advice Those who got H due to stress/burnout/trauma/chronic fatigue (Nervous System issues) & improved. What helped?

7 Upvotes

I know there are some people out here telling wonderful success stories. And I'm super happy to hear this! But I always wonder: what works for me? I feel like hyperacusis is such a broad term and different sources require different approaches.

So for those who got H due to nervous system issues like stress/burnout/chronic fatigue/trauma: what really helped? I would love some advice because right now I feel pretty alone in this :/

Seeking advice is it hyperacusis or something else?

2 Upvotes

i don’t know if it’s hyperacusis

i hope someone can help me

i know for most of hyperacusis it’s like painful uncomfortable but can you describe how?

i went to the ENT i have no hearing loss but he doesn’t know what’s wrong

my problem is suddenly every sound - it doesn’t feel loud/painful but my whole head/vibrates with every sound (especially inside rooms/ outside i don’t notice so much)

once i’m outside , i don’t mind loud noises anything outside cars etc they don’t bother me at all.

, my brain/ears are vibriting and its very uncomfortable.

when i wear headphones i can listen to music / tiktok’s loudly i don’t care about the noise.

if i put them out, its like everything my head brain vibrates with every sound.

how does this sound to you? please give me your advice thank you šŸ™

it’s no pain, no feeling sick just everything vibrates and buzzing in my head so uncomfortable

Seeking advice What do you do on days you can't win?

Mechanical saw one direction, washing/dryers that ā€œcan’t be stoppedā€ other direction. It’s a stupid narrow Victorian house. I can’t walk upstairs.

Therapy in 5 minutes. Tried counting. Box breathing. No no no no no!

So… what do you guys do when you can’t win?

Seeking advice Would you trust a nurse/physician assistant at an urgent care to clean your ears out? I can’t wear plugs bc I have excessive wax and we’re getting bad winds tomorrow.

1 Upvotes

I’m freaking out. I waited too long to see a dr and we’re getting up to 40 mph winds tomorrow. I can’t wear Peltors for the estimated wind advisory (24 hrs) and I’m scared. I had an audiologist do a mobile visit and he screwed me.

He was very rough, extremely rude, and my ears hurt for days after. I had a feeling he didn’t clean thoroughly and I still see a white substance in my ears along with additional wax that happened later.

I can get into urgent care but I don’t trust anyone but an ENT using a professional camera at this point. Thanks for any feedback. ****Trigger warning: I’m having a breakdown.
