Temporary hypersensitivity vs. hyperacusis

I felt similarly at first, but I have gotten somewhat better emotionally. It took a few weeks to learn what noises I could and could not tolerate. I went to two ENTs who, sorry to say, weren’t very helpful. I hope your doctor(s) are more supportive. I read up on the disorder and continue to educate myself. One of the most important things I learned was how anxiety worsens the problem. It’s likely that you will get some relief once the initial trauma lessens and you start returning to some degree of normal activity. Protect your ears but don’t overdo it. If you have specific concerns, ask questions here, and we’ll do our best to answer from our own experience. You will be OK and are not alone in this.

Ugh, I am in such despair I can't even write about it much, I cannot believe it is true........the same thing happened to me, I was not well protected during an mri and should have gotten out, actually did 3 times to readjust things but should have gotten out completely.....I can't hear, have hyperacusis and now imbalance.......2 hearing tests and they are trying to say they are normal! I cannot believe this, this completely ruined my life, music sounds tinny, everything sounds different, I am in so much despair!!!
