Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / December 2004hyperacusis or recruitment?
have had T for many years now but apparently have "normal" hearing. one of the many strange reaction of my hearing system to outside sounds is when the inside of my left ear actually "jumps" or vibrates along with the outside sound. This is particularly so for things like car alarms, crockery, phones etc... This all happens in my left ear yet the tinnitus is in my right ear! is this hyperacusis or recruitment ands whats the difference?!! dean Hyperacusis is the over-sensitivity to sound,where sound can become downright "painful". My hyperacusis gradually lessened over a two year period. Now I'm stuck only with 'T' which I've learned to cope by 1.avoiding silence 2.avoiding loud stuff and 3. creating busy distractive activities. > have had T for many years now but apparently have "normal" hearing. > one of the many strange reaction of my hearing system to outside [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > dean Sounds more like reactive tinnitus. Many people also have a persistent echo-ation associated with tinnitus where they hear a sound long after it has stopped. Marsha Johnson, MS , CCC-A, FAAA eww I had that at the start...like noises getting trapped into your ear...thank god thats gone. >Sounds more like reactive tinnitus.
