What is Stapedectomy Recovery like?

Chris, thank you so much for your kind words and good wishes. I hope my hypersensitivity (hyperacusis) will gradually disappear. My tinnitus, although not terrible, was completely gone after stapedectomy. Thanks again.

The full thread of this post is missing so I am not clear on the background.

I have experienced sudden (over a couple of months) decline in my hearing. I already had HL and wear aids, but now understanding is noticeably off and increasing the volume does not change this.

What I experience most is distortion in all sound even my own voice. Also any reflected sound (off a wall or sink) is noticeably loud. Not cleared, just loud. Is the hypercucis?

I now also experience a very discreet tinnitus pitch that start when I get up in the morning, but not before rising.
