Hyperacusis/Misaphonia and thyroid problems

[praxis]

When I first had Hashi (nearly 23 years ago) I was hyperthyroid for a couple of years then stable for a while and then became hypo. While I was hyper I also had Hyperacusis which gradually wore off with time. However last summer I was in a very stressful situation for some months, beecame hyper again and the hyperacusi (or possibly misaphonia) returned but much worse then before. I have returned to hypo and am gradually getting my therapy sorted out with a new Endo who seems to know his stuff (he is the14th I have tried over the years) but the hyper-reaction to noise and also a hyper-reaction to visual situations that could be possibly dangerous is staying. Any suggestions please?

Others more experienced than me will ask for your blood test results with ranges

Hi, I’m sorry you are suffering from Hyperacusis. I’m Hashi’s hypo and I have tinnitus and I also had Hyperacusis a long time ago from hammering on a wooden fence without ear protection, which I knew better to do, but was having a brain fog moment. I had mine checked out by an audiologist and ear Dr. but they weren’t really any help, thankfully the Hyperacusis went away on it’s own after about a month but my tinnitus was made louder from the hammering, which I still beat myself up about. I wear ear protection now around anything that is semi loud. It’s a horrible thing to hear every little thing magnified like you have super sonic hearing. I didn’t realize that you could get it without having had trauma to your ears. I really hope that it goes away and stays away for you soon or that you can get help with it! Best wishes.
