For a year-and-a-half, I had tinnitus and sensitivity to loud sounds (hyperacusis). It started 3-4 months after a really bad ear infection. My first several clinicians said there was no hope to treat my condition and I had sought out the very best doctors at medical major teaching institutions. I had tinnitus 24-7, which caused much anxiety, difficulty with sleep, and got worse with stress. I also could not handle loud social environments or music concerts. Most importantly, I could no longer enjoy being with our younger grand-daughters because their normal, loud voices were very painful to me.
The Neuromonics Treatment began to offer noticeable relief in less than two months. The progress continued and, at 5 or 6 months, my symptoms disappeared. I only experience tinnitus or sound sensitivity very rarely and it has been short in duration. It is easy to deal with because I know it will not last more than a few hours based upon almost a year’s experience since I began my treatment.
Now, my life really is back to normal. I am incredibly grateful for my clinician and Neuromonics.
