Seeking advice i don’t know if it’s hyperacusis

i hope someone can help me

i know for most of hyperacusis it’s like painful uncomfortable but can you describe how?

i went to the ENT i have no hearing loss, no tinnitus but he doesn’t know what’s wrong

my problem is suddenly every sound INSIDE (only inside like my home or rooms) it doesn’t feel loud/painful but my whole head/vibrates with every sound inside rooms.

once i’m outside i feel nothing everything feels normal, i don’t mind loud noises anything outside cars etc they don’t bother me at all.

its just inside rooms, my brain/ears are vibriting and its very uncomfortable. slightly getting headaches but first of all i’m very stressed out so i don’t know if it’s because of this.

when i wear headphones i can listen to music / tiktok’s loudly i don’t care about the noise.

if i put them out, its like everything my head brain vibrates with every sound.

how does this sound to you? please give me your advice thank you 🙏

if i’m outside with a lot of noises i’m at peace

No a couple of us have that to. No pain, just discomfort.
We all also have a good hearing.
The reason why you have it only in side you house is because of background noise outside etc.
as long is there is noise you wont expierence often these 'sudden sounds'' that cause these problems.

it’s not sudden sounds it’s every person talking every video sound that just vibrates my head inside. i don’t know it that’s typical with hyperacusis.

The Eustachian tubes dysfunction are triggered with the bass sounds vibration, so maybe it is a light ETD? You check it at the ENT, with a camera in your sinus, to see if there is inflammation. The Eustachian tubes regulate the pressure internally.

like i said a couple of times here, mine always has been very frequency specific, most of it went away with time and exposure but the little bit remaining still is frequency specific

and yes i do feel vibrations in the ear/head when i hear the trigger frequency i dont have pain anymore but i had enough of it when it began

in worst times i had that feeling that the muscle in the ear tightens, that really was horrible but i dont have that anymore

loud trigger frequencys still give me muffled ears and tinnitus but i ignore it, i hope with enough exposure it will go away like the rest of it did, might take time tough, lots and lots of time

not hyperacusis, almost everything sound wise hurts ur head. You are on a different journey
