What else can I help you with?
Is hyperacusis and epilepsy connected?
No, there is not any connection. Hyperacusis is related to people's response to sounds, so it related to aspects of hearing. Epilepsy is the tendency to having recurring seizures.
How do you cure your hyperacusis?
You can cure Hyperacusis by using Pink Noise Therapy, which is just a CD of pink noise (almost identical to white noise). This therapy allows for the ears to regain their tolerance of sound in a healthy way.
Can earplugs make you feel dizzy?
I'm thinking the earplugs pressing against the ear canal can do it because I have been getting dizziness and headaches the past couple days when I put in/take out/adjust my plugs. Never had this problem before though. I wear them most of the day for hyperacusis and just started a med a week ago. Hope the med is not the culprit. I will try to post back here if I find out.
What are the potential consequences of prolonged exposure to loud noises on one's hearing health?
Prolonged exposure to loud noises can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and other ear-related issues. It can also increase the risk of developing conditions like hyperacusis (increased sensitivity to sound) and can impact overall quality of life. It is important to protect your ears from loud noises to prevent long-term damage.
Why does my ear hurt when I here medium to loud noises Especially music which is a major problem for me What can I do to make it better?
It's possible that you have hyperacusis, a condition where sounds that are tolerable for others can be painful for you. To reduce discomfort, you can try using earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones in loud environments. It's best to consult with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Is there anything you can do to alleviate vibration in your ears from outside sounds?
It sounds like you may have hyperacusis. this is a condition where people have extremely sensitive hearing. They even say that when a pin drops it sounds extremely loud. In general a person that suffers from this condition tends to hear everyday sounds more loudly than normal. I can imagine this being extremely disruptive to your lifestyle. Sinuswars offers a remedy for this condition but there are also many clinics that offer a course for sound desistization. I'm not sure how effective any of these are as i don't suffer from this condition but have heard about it. Goodluck.
I have Meniers.Why does loud sounds hurt my ears.?
Meniere's is a disease that affects your inner and the nerves that run from it to the brain. It is this damage to that often causes meniere's patients suffer with tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo (loss of blanace and motion sickness) and even hearing loss. Which doesn't seem consistent with the extreme loud noises that you are asking about. It seems rather like you have hyperacusis, which is basiacally an ailment where one heres everyday sounds more loudly than normally- there are even cases of people that have said when a pin drops the noise is very loud. This condition is usually caused by an obstruction the nerve to the stapedius (which is a muscle in that helps control the loudness of sounds).
How do you communicate with autistic individuals?
It really varies by person. I, myself (as a high-functioning autistic person), don't like people to speak too loudly (autistic people are very prone to hyperacusis), and I don't like to be touched (some autistic like pressure but don't enjoy light touching), and I appreciate people who are extremely straightforward. Autistic people often don't understand popular humor and media; they can often have a hard time understanding sarcasm too. Any sort of passive social cues will usually go over their heads. Some people with autism are so closed off though that it is very individualistic in order to get them to open up to you.
Is there treatment for highly sensitive hearing what?
Yes, there is treatment for highly sensitive hearing. The treatment I am aware of was developed by Dr. Berard in France about 35 years ago. Dr. Berard's work was based on the work of Alfred Tomatis. It is called Auditory Integration Training(AIT) and is available in the USA and other countries as well. It can be used to help with several different conditions as well as simple sound over-sensitivity. Some of these conditions are:closed-head injury, learning disabilities, dyslexia, autism spectrum, ADD spectrum,Down Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, Angelman Syndrome, Williams Syndrome, episodic or major depression Go to this web address for more info including locations:http://www.aitinstitute.org/ait_and_brain.htm
Can hearing get more sensitive and painful over time?
As over time the cornea stiffens which means light rays are not focused on the retina. You will find it hard to see things up close but can get glasses. Another cause is that the muscles (ciliary muscles) around the eye grow weaker as age progresses this means the eye finds it hard to adjust to different distances, this can strain your eyes and cause headaches.
How does white noise work?
Life is full of disruptive sounds and noises, such as honking car horns, barking dogs, noisy neighbors, annoying snoring and screaming sirens. Unlike playing music in such instances, white noise does not add to the clamor of noise. Instead, white noise contains equal frequencies of all sounds. Research has shown that a steady, monotonous stream of the same peaceful sound, such as white noise, can filter and mask distracting noises. The same soothing sonic benefits of white noise are quite effective in creating the right ambience for both parent and child to enable a safe yet natural sleep. Among their recommendations for alleviating tinnitus symptoms, many audiologists and the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery suggest masking the ringing sound: play a competing sound at a constant low level, such white noise, to mask the tinnitus and make it less noticeable. The Hyperacusis Network notes that "White noise contains all frequencies, and therefore very gently stimulates all the nerve cells in the these subconscious networks, allowing them to be more easily programmed, or reset, so that tinnitus signals are no longer detected. It also reduces the contrast between tinnitus and otherwise total silence." Fromhttp://www.PureWhiteNoise.com
Is there any treatment for tinnitus?
Tinnitus treatment- for maximum tinnitus relief, it always recommended to combine sound therapy with a structured Tinnitus treatment program like Widex Zen Therapy. This consists of four elements. The first is counselling. This is where your hearing care provider provides you tinnitus education and possibly implements cognitive and behavioural intervention. The second element is Amplification in order to ensure that your hearing loss is addressed properly, to reduce the contrast between your auditory environment and the Tinnitus.
