What can be done to help with hyperacusis?

@kniwmom81 that is often the advice given- for tinnitus and hyperacusis. I bought a gizmo with 20 different ambient sounds and played it overnight. When I got up I had vertigo and no sense of balance. My ear also hurt. It is known that this ktusind of retraining harms some and helps some.

Last night I dozed for a few hours with a movie on my computer. That doesn't bother me, not sure why.

I generally try not to avoid sound/noise because I know that avoidance can make things worse. Leaf blowers are a definite exception! The sound that is tormenting me now is of the frequency and quality that really affects me and it is not within my control. I may sell my new condo to get away from it even though it will cost me a bundle.

Perhaps movies in the background are a better option for you. Thanks for your input, I have a family member with this but I don't live with her.
