OMG...I had to look twice...I thought I wrote this...it is exactly what I did (vertigo/heart attack/panic attack after EMS visit) and what I am now experiencing (asymmetrical tinnitus and hyperacusis)...both tinnitus and hyeracusus are episodic and I went on an elimination routine for my meds and diet with no relationship that I could identify...my ENT says that coffee, alcohol and dehydration play a significant role but it doesn’t seem to be that way for me...still searching but I wonder if stress could play a big role...

Hi, my wife has had ongoing tinnitus for decades. I am not sure she has hyperacusis. But I do know that a variety of specific things make her tinnitus worse. It could be any particular thing, but not necessarily the things that most people refer to such as coffee, alcohol, etc. Certain supplements have done it. A tea she drinks for headaches makes it worse (but it's a tradeoff since it does help her headaches) and other things as well. One thing she has taken for 8 years that has helped her is called Clear Tinnitus. It doesn't always help, but often does. She takes 3 per day, spread over the day. (Amazon has it -of course). Just FYI. Best, Hank
