@ZenithTheReborn@tech.lgbt Thank you!

Yeah, with hearing aids and hyperacusis and other issues... I came to terms that I am Hard of Hearing, have speech processing issues as well. So need those captions all the time, since reading is painless unless migraine.

@ZenithTheReborn@tech.lgbt Yeah definitely, hyperacusis is pretty rare and it is hard for others to understand it. But the lowered pain threshold is horrible. My hearing is just a giant mess with distortion and otherwise, my ear drums throbbing too, and recruitment in one of my ears.

Hearing aids are so expensive though and you have to find a empathetic audiologist for it.

@ZenithTheReborn@tech.lgbt Hyperacusis is super horrible! I cannot wear headphones as the frequencies cause me pain. Hearing aids were basically a life safer for me. These are plugs that block sound and also the volume through speaker is lowered.

I still have to be careful though, since although hearing aids improved things still have to be careful when I am without them.

If response was slow, was finding picture of hearing aids.

@ZenithTheReborn@tech.lgbt Same here, I go into complete darkness with not a shred of light and cover my ears with those ones you use at gun ranges. But smell is like the most strangest of strange changes, can range from fruity smell, burnt electronics, to fresh hay.

I have hyperacusis though so everything is already painfully loud which is why I have those to begin with, along with sound blocking hearing aids.

@ZenithTheReborn@tech.lgbt Thank you! I hope the combination of stuff you have keeps on working well!

@ZenithTheReborn@tech.lgbt Indeed, I get the banging and such as well but it feels more like my brain is going to explode and all the smells are bad and wrong. Thinking is near impossible for me.

Would last the entire day and sometimes could go for a second day.

Often took like four ibuprofen and drank a bunch of water just to lessen the pain a bit, but still took me out for many hours.

@ZenithTheReborn@tech.lgbt Yeah, some drugs are just absurdly expensive for no reason.

Any kind of Cannabis product gives me an instant migraine that is really painful though, so it is not something I would ever consider for myself.

@ZenithTheReborn@tech.lgbt I have these horrible brain exploding migraines that smell like dead meat that I get pretty often, with lots of pulsing and otherwise. Been awhile since I got the drug and I am rather glad it is working so far.

@ZenithTheReborn@tech.lgbt Oh nice! Which one do you take for migraines currently?

I am hoping sumatriptan keeps working out well for me.
