I'd be happy to contact you, but wonder about my situation. I have hyperacusis (no tinnitus) that seems associated with anxiety/depression/PTSD. I'm working with a therapist on CBT to reframe attitudes but wondering if my situation would be relevant, given that I am pretty sure the condition is related to hyper-vigilance (long history of catastrophizing) as opposed to a "structural" problem. a sort of mind-body thing (which Joel kinda alluded to too...not so much "mental" but about how my brain reacts to sound and perhaps some learned pathways to feel startled). I live in Vietnam and where I am a trained audiologist is unlikely. Anyway, I'm particularly keen to try sound therapy and using the ear devices, but here too may have to do some scrounging to source the hardware. Thank you
My hyperacusis has left. I didn’t have to do anything. It just left. Wish the tinnitus would do the same.
Thats because the majority of Hyperacusis cases go away on their own.
How long did it take to improve? @Mcstorch0
@@chingghishan5707how I have it due to anxiety ?
@@antoniorijo96186 months to a year...im 5 months in and notice improvement although I have frequent setbacks
@@antoniorijo9618 hola antonio, ya he visto varias veces tus comentarios en busca de soluciones para la hiperacusia, no te preocupes la mayoria de casos son reversibles, el unico problema es que mínimo tiene que pasar un año hasta máximo 5 dependiendo como se originó el problema, tu me respondiste un comentario en el video de hiperacusia de la youtuber latinoamericana "kip kipy tiny" ella también mejoró y desapareció su hiperacusia lo que probablemente tambien a nosostros, despues de 7 meses he sentido una mejora increíble pero tambien podemos recaer en caso de que no sigamos indicaciones de personas que se han curado, mucha suerte en nuestra lucha antónio, ya veras que el tiempo será nuestro aliado😊
I have hyperacusis and tinnitus as well, having played drums for 20+ years.
Thanks for this video, thanks for all the information!
I take it you don't play anymore? I playvguitar
Do you continue to play the drums?
i have it too from the same 38 years. I also have PTSD and one of the effects is hyperaccusis-I still play...but other rare all of a sudden noises are miserable, especially booming bass music
gnosed with hyperacusis. It got worse over the years and I got retested a few months ago and it confirmed I now have moderate hyperacusis, the next level to severe. I have extreme pain when I have a noise event such as fire trucks or ambulances driving by, road construction, children screaming, grocery carts banging, dishes clanging and even normal conversation at times. I end up with a very bad headache, earache, fullness in my ears, and neck pain for several days. What I’ve learned over the years is that if I have several events in succession, the pain is worse and lasts longer. If I can be away from loud noises for awhile, my pain starts subsiding. However, my recovery period is taking longer. My audiologist suggested sound therapy but I’m concerned it might make my condition worse, as I have read it did for some people. I am thrilled for Joel and his success with sound therapy. I’m sharing my experiences so that it might help in researching this terrible condition and hopefully finding a cure. My heart goes out to all that suffer from hyperacusis.
Your audiologist is correct in suggesting sound therapy, which can indeed be beneficial for managing hyperacusis. It's important to start at a low volume where you can still comfortably hear people around you. You can also try short sessions, like one hour per day, and adjust based on what feels best for you. Consistency is key, so finding a routine that works with your comfort level and gradually increasing as tolerated can be helpful.
Thankyou for this Joel ; you give me some hope . I'm still on a waiting list for an appointment for help for this 😔. Thankyou Ben for these positive and helpful videos .
You are so welcome. :)
Would you mind telling me where is your appt.?
Sooooo helpful. Thank you so so much
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful. 😊
I've been enjoying your content, very informative. Can you do a video on myoclonic tinnitus?
Thanks so much for the feedback, my team and I will do our best to try to make a video talking about this!

We would love to be able to help people all around the world. Unfortunately, audiology licensing laws prevent us from doing so.. hopefully one day!

Glad to hear that. :)
It's always a good idea to protect your ears when attending loud music venues!
Taking proactive steps like using earplugs can make a significant difference in preventing potential hearing issues. Thanks for emphasizing the importance of protecting our ears.
I have the same problems loud noises music dishes banging anything sharp goes right through my ears loud pitch noise all the time
Very helpful :)

Excellent information Dr. Ben. Please continue to feature more practical information on Hyperacusis.
I'm genuinely happy for Joel, but Treble Health's tinnitus maskers programme didn't work for me. I was consistent in wearing my maskers for over 1 year (as they said to do), tried to protect my ears, but at the end of the year I wasn't anywhere close to being back to my normal self.
During the year, I had moments of feeling a little better, but sounds are everywhere and life is unpredictable. So, things inevitably happened (loud sounds). Are you actually getting better if one event sets you back to the beginning?
If you're suffering from hyperacusis/tinnitus or any other auditory issue, I know the desperation you feel. I am grateful for the hope that I initially experienced from Treble Health. But it certainly is not a one size fits all. I still wear my maskers, but I'm still struggling everyday. Honestly, now I wear it to keep me calm and block out the tinnitus. Ensure that you do as thorough an investigation into your specific situation with your hearing as possible.
I pray that one day a cure is found for this horrible condition. It has completely changed my life and the lives of others.
I'm sorry to hear that the Treble Health's tinnitus maskers program didn't work as expected for you. It's important to continue exploring different options and working closely with us who specialize in tinnitus and hyperacusis. Please reach out to the audiologist that helped you get the tinnitus maskers to discuss this further and give you other options!
I have chronic tinnitus and hypercausis because of my sensoneural hearing loss.... i often feel like theres hope for me and i might lose my career and everything that has meant the world to me... HELP PLEASE!!!!!...
Very,very helpful I will be contacting tomorrow morning,thank you Joel

How much time ,did you hear white noise
I have worked with Sarah. I am on social security currently and cant use treble health. i still use the 15 min a day and still have hyperacusis, ok when is it going to work?
Are u on ss because of the hyperacusis?
@@Bls-of1ld no, old enough
@@birdsong46what do u mean?? So are u on ss or not?
I need help. 4 months ago I had my headphones on, and got a plugged sensation, and ringing. That lasted about 5 min. After, my ear has felt plugged and constant pain. Every time I hear anything loud, it’s awful, along with the constant pain!! ENT, says my ear if fine, audiologist says my hearing is fine, my Dr, says my ear is looks normal… 4 months!!! Pain constant!!!
😢
I have been experiencing this problem for exactly 7 months. Even though I visited many different doctors, I could not reach any results.
How is it going for you now ?
I’ve developed kind of the same condition 3 year ago yet still hasn’t found no improvement or whatsoever…
Still same….as soon as I listen to any music at any volume, whether any volume level, my left ear goes into severe pain…..I’m lost and severely depressed.

I live in Estonia. Can I get access to this hyperacusis and tinnitus treatment?
Unfortunately, due to the audiology licensing laws in the United States, we are unable to work with patients who live in other countries. We encourage you to follow our youtube channel to learn tips and tricks about hyperacusis and tinnitus management.
Thanks for the video! After a year of wondering and a visit to the audiologist who didn't know what was wrong with my ears it seems like hyperacusis. Certain noises at particular levels induce a 'cicada' like buzzing in my ears. Driving a car at motorway speeds or my kids talking.
They just give u an ear test and tell u good luck..that's what mine told me
I'm okay with my tinnitus, got used to it but hyperacusis is the worst thing ever 🙃

How to use sound therepy for treatment tinnitus and hyperacusis
Good question
Would love more hyperacusis videos. Ive improved a lot but still have really bad pain if a car alarm goes off or i try to use headphones or even hear low volume speakers that are in another room. When i get setbacks i cant even function nor use a phone up to my ear. Ive lost jobs over this and affects all of my life. I have the sound generators but not sure how long to use them and for how long. When i got them 2017 They were too painful to use. But I can use them now. I really believe its a conditioned response. Any ideas?
The sudden sounds like light switches, cups, cutlery, cupboard doors, etc too
Sounds like you have noxacusis...I suggest u ditch those generators
@@Hew.Jarsolhow bad is yours?? I see u all over these videos
@@Bls-of1ld sudden up close sounds mainly. It doesn't seem to get worse if a fire alarm etc goes off..? Yet
@@Hew.Jarsol same...it's certain frequencies that bug me
i am suffring from the same thing hyperacusis and tinnitus hopefully one day i can get relief
Within 6 months of working with Dr. Sarah at Treble Health, I started to see significant improvements.
@@jarmentor1731 did you see success in hyperacusis?

This video is helpful but it is far too long. People won't keep watching. It is vital to edit, to get to the point quickly and concisely/ The video should be about 5 minutes long, not 15.
Any medicine did you take for hyperacusis
The treatment for hyperacusis can vary depending on the individual and the underlying cause. Medication may be considered in some cases, but it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider or audiologist who can assess your specific condition and recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include therapies or medication if deemed necessary.

I had some ear wax, went to the doctor, he tried and some nurses tried gently but a little piece was stubborn. A new young doctr tried with cold water and extra pressure. He ended pulling the wax and a good portion of my ear drum. They gave me ear drops that seems to make things worse. They have repeated ciprofloxacin the drops and what i thought was infection may have been hyperacussis. I have repeated seen the doctors and ent. None mentioned hyperacussis. I have resorted to wearing ear cuffs. They give relief , the ear fullness is from hyperacussis and not the antibiotics. It seems the ear drop is the contributor or a side effect that cauaes this phenomenon. All the specialists, doctors have not helped and the youtube gives me right answers. But i still have to see the ENT specialist due to the hole in the ear drum. Very frusterating and contributing to my stress.

I'm curious, what is believed to be the root cause or causes of this condition?
We have a great blog article that discusses the possible causes and types of tinnitus. Check it out here: treblehealth.com/tinnitus-causes-diagnosis-treatment/
@@treblehealth Thanks, but I was referring to hyperacusis. I have watched all the Michael Golenhofen videos so I'm well informed about tinnitus but haven't seen any equivelent deep dives into what causes hyperacusis.
😭😭😭😭
Which open headphones to use for hyperacusis
I used Aftershokz bone condensers, and the the myNoise app. The ability to customize the sound is great. Remember, I'm no medical professional. I'm just telling you what worked for me. But I don't think the sound therapy would have worked without Dr. Sarah's guidance. I tried DIY remedies with limited results. I did this video because I feel that without Treble Health's help, I'd still be in the situation I was in two years ago.
I suggest not using headphones at all
@@jarmentor1731 thank you so much for sharing your inspiring story! ✨🙏☀ I’m. curious if you mostly used the Aftershokz bone conduction headphones for your sound therapy, or if you also used devices that go inside the ears? And did you use the Aftershokz bone conduction headphones with Bluetooth? If so, did you find the Bluetooth signals impacted your health in any way? Much gratitude and appreciation to you! 🙌🏼😁
@@PremaGaia I just used the aftershokz headphones which were connected by Bluetooth to my phone. The app I used is called myNoise. I like that I could customize the noise to exactly what I wanted. There were two advantages of the headphones:
1. I can hear people around me, so I wasn’t isolated from “the world”. As a teacher, that would not have worked for me.
2. I found that headphones that covered my ears, or were in my ears, isolated the tinnitus and “made it worse”.
@@PremaGaia Sorry for missing this comment for so long. The Aftershokz headphones was all that I used. At it's worst, I could not use ear covering headphones. The tinnitus that developed along with the hyperacusis was amplified when my ears were covered. The other obvious advantage is that you can hear the world around you, so you don't feel so isolated. Aftershokz now makes bc headphones that you can wear separately on each ear, which look like they are even more convenient.
I’m a music artist I listen to music and beats on my AirPods everyday and night and I seem to have developed Hyperacusis
I’m just 22 please will it go away?
Rest your ears. Don't use headphones. Stay away from loud sound. Try to avoid sound that is uncomfortable. Over time it's likely to get better, but it can take months or sometimes longer, it seems.
Good luck!
In-ear headphones are a bit scary I think. Wouldn't use them for an extended time. Even sounds volumes that sounds "OK" can be problematic over time. Having them in for hours it's a good idea I think.
Maybe best to consult and audiologist and see what the opinion on your particular case is.
@@staraffinity I’m okay now it went away I’m still confused if it was hyperacusis or a Psychosis Episode

I use them as Bluetooth head phones and I used them for the interview. I haven’t used them for therapy for months. Sometimes in the morning, I’ll has a little noticeable tinnitus, and I put them on to listen to music or a podcast until it subsides.
@@jarmentor1731I can recommend getting an air purifier for your bedroom. Not only does it purify the air, in my case it also helps against tinnitus and hyperacusis - that is, if it makes sufficient sound/noise when in bed.
In any case, thanks for sharing your story.
