What can be done to help with hyperacusis?

Valerie: You’re not alone but it seems that way b/c most people have hearing loss or tinnitus or music/pitch distortion or hyperacussis, etc. I have had all of them for four years now and have pretty much adapted to my new reality. It’s a life changer for sure, and I fully empathize. Wish I knew where it all came from but that doesn’t change anything, I think, so perhaps it’s best to be hopeful. Hugs.

..thank you. Had ipad on a little bit too loud just now for ten minutes, turned off and now i have a musical discussion going on in my ears...or rather brain receptors... it's so odd. Frightened me the first time I thought neighbours had radio on loud but they were away...and last Christmas in bed and it's not a repeat of a song we like , i think they call that ear worm... but it was a Christmas Carol music but the first few bars over and over and over. I wasn't well and it bothered me till I said to myself, well, hum along.... I sort of did and it went away, after 2 weeks...only to be replaced with something else. I had never heard of the word hyperacusis before....or musical ear; and yes you are right we just have to adapt...but on top of other issues it's a bit much isn't it? I thought tinnitus was bad enough but this is double-trouble! J.
