David Vance. Hyperacusis, Tinnitus & Chronic Pain

  TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS TO MANAGE There is no cure for Hyperacusis / Noxacusis & Tinnitus as of yet, but I want to share with you all what I do to manage my symptoms everyday, until a cure surfaces. I just recently saw the best Neuro-Otologist in Canada, told him my story, and about my recent appointments with my former ENT Doctor. After explaining everything in full, he flat out told me he also has no solutions, which left me jaw dropped. I am currently taking sedative medications and need to reduce my dosages he said, essentially fully move off. I am using one medication for Physical pain, and was prescribed another for my Auditory symptoms. The medications are Gabapentin & Clonazapam which both his the Gaba receptors in the brain. Some people do well with Clonazapam for Hyperacusis & Tinnitus and some don't (What I was taking it for). Eventually these medications stop working for the majority of people as well, so they are only really used as an emergency solution in t...

  AN INVISIBLE ILLNESS. SEVERE CHRONIC PAIN CAUSED BY SOUND THAT AFFECTS THE EARS AND THE HEAD Ever wonder what people go through when dealing with an invisible chronic illness?, well that's what I am here to tell you all about.

  Hi everyone, the following are com coping strategies I use for Hyperacusis, Tinnitus & Chronic pain. Maybe can be of help to you too.  I'll start with meditation first. Meditation is a big part of me, and always has been. With having Hyperacusis & Tinnitus, I have implemented it more and more into my daily routine. It brings me a sense of calm, clarity, and eases my anxiety and depression living with this all.  If I'm feeling any of these emotions I go straight to meditation, and I do 3 different practices. Two that are guided on Youtube (Using CC) , and the third - I sit in silence and close my eyes, and just listen to my inner self.  The first meditation I would like to discuss is a practice for Anxiety. For example if my ears are acting up with increased Hyperacusis & Tinnitus I will do this practice. The first part of the meditation is naming what I am anxious about - Hyperacusis & Tinnitus increased. The second part is putting a "J...
