Jesse’s hyperacusis was caused by exposure to loud weapons in the military. Now, eight years after the initial onset, Jesse struggles to find ways to do simple things like fishing with his son because even a loud voice can create pain. After following a treatment protocol for about 2 years, Jesse thought he could live a normal life but then his condition was made significantly worse by new noise exposures. There is not yet any research to explain why some hyperacusis patients can follow a protocol and improve enough to tolerate almost all sounds while others appear to sustain additional damage from new sounds. Watch Jesse’s challenging story.
Jesse’s Story
Hi,I live in Tokyo,Japan.Suffering hyperacusis while fifteen months,and I have tinnitus these days.It was suddenly,and no cause of it.Now,in Japan,there are no how to cure.Almost Japanese people have no acquaintance of hyperacusis.
And,today,I’m going to try “BOSE quiet-comfort 25” at the store,It would be nice it really “comfort” to me.
Hello.Today,I have good news about my hyperacusis.
I bought “bose quiet-comfort 25″(ear-phones) yesterday.Only these are not good enough to me,so I wear 25 on 20i(earbuds).these make me feel so “comfort”!
I can play the piano, dance “maiko-dance”(Japanese traditional dance) with music, hear my sons laughing with assistance these items now.
But,I guess it isn’t proper way to use qc20i and qc25. Any bad influence on my ears?
Please give me a piece of advice.
And, how are hyperacusis patients treated in USA ? In Japan, I only have some antidepressants, no social security system.
We would love to hear more details on how the ear buds have work out over time.
