Hi Jeanie,
I am trying to find Lynn. She'll show up in a little while. She has both of the girls at this time, her hands are full.
Are you sure you have 'Hyperacusis'? I'm confused, as hyperacute is not related to the sound of LDL's in Hyperacusis.
I have read where some people with TMJ have hearing problems. But I'm not sure if it's the real 'HYPERACUSIS' If you will go to the very beginning of this 'Hyperacusis' thread you will find the correct definition of Hyperacusis typed by Russ. Does that fit your description, friend?
Do you also have tinnitus? That is almost always another side effect of Hyperacusis (almost). I do know that Lynn told me earlier, she was disconnected from this site while answering a question posted by you. So she will be back soon.
In the mean time, it is my understanding that the ipod is a device you put inside of your ears to listen to music, etc.???? Is that correct? With my Hyperacusis I'd never, I mean NEVER be able to handle anything with music, sounds, instruments, bells, drums, etc. directly in my ears. Oh HORRORS!, For this girl.
What do you mean you and your husband are opposites as he thinks you have the T.V. too loud. THAT IS JUST THE REVERSE in my home. Music, T.V., radios, etc. are all too loud for me, without earplugs, or the Zem headset.
You may know, hyperacusis can be caused by medicines, loud sounds, head surgeries (as is my case), etc. etc. What brought on your 'sound intolerance'? Thank you. I hope you are doing well,Jeanie. Blessings, Abishag <><
