Do I have Hyperacusis?

Posted by Rich


Hi Folks,

I've had tinnitus for several years. Big drag, but I can deal with it.
However, sometimes my ears become extremely sensitive to sound,
particularly in the upper midrange, which becomes strident and
uncomfortable.

Usually this lasts for a day or two. Approximately two weeks ago my left ear became sensitive to sound - almost any sound level bothers it a little - and it still feels that way.

My questions:

1. Is this Hyperacusis? I thought Hyperacusis was permanent, whereas my ear sensitivity (until now) has been only occasional.

2. Does anyone else here experience such hearing sensitivity that comes and goes?

Thanks,

Rich
