I didn't see a group for Hyperacusis so I figured by posting in the Tinnitus group I'd likely find someone.
My fiance is suffering from hyperacusis and tinnitus. Is there anyone that can send words of encouragement or that is also needing someone to talk to? He needs someone to relate.
I wanted to welcome you to the site, I am not in this group, but I know that seeing someone you love in pain is painful to watch. Hopefully you two will connect with members on the site that can give you some encouragement and information.

21forever, I'm so very sorry to hear of his situation. I, too, am there. It is the worst of the hearing worlds. Too much noise is torment. Too little noise is torture. If you are still interested in connecting, I'm here. I've been suffering since May of 2012 as the result of an Acoustic Trauma injury at work.
My heart is with you both.

I’m new at this and have sent one message out and this is my first response to a person who understands what I feel with tinnitus and hyperacusis. You address mostly hyperacusis, but I deal with both. That middle sound zone you speak of is the first time I’ve looked into it. It makes sense. I’ve been dealing with both issues for about 13 years or so.
Thanks for speaking of hyeracusis as you did.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience, Annamae. Did you every try Neuromonics or a masker? I'm trying to gain approval for Neurominics through Worker's Comp, but I've not heard the decision yet (no pun). I'm being treated by a neuro-otologist in a university setting.

I would be grateful to connect with anyone who would like to correspond regarding tinnitus/hyperacusis. It seems to be a little talked about combination. If it is more comfortable, we can “talk” via email. I’d be pleased to embrace any forum most convenient for you.
Kindly,
Sky
