Hi folks,

My sound sensitivity has come back after being cured from homeopathy. It’s really bad and I am in isolation because I can’t tolerate any sounds. It’s making my weakness worse each day. Tried several homeopathic remedies for it, no improvement. Any suggestions for something that will calm the nervous system quickly?

Thanks! I really really need relief

CBD?

Do you have noise-cancelling headphones so you can move through the world a little more?

I've had periods in which misophonia and phonophobia were disabling. It's an awful symptom, for sure. Hope someone comes along soon with more suggestions!

I would recommend DNRS for this. Seriously. It's designed specifically for this

I have this same thing

Only thing that has helped is treating mold (w/ chlestryramine) and mercury (w/ OSR). But those may not even be your issues, I can't say

By the way the medical term for this is hyperacusis, so that give you something to google anyway.

Oh yes, I second the rec for DNRS, and any other nervous system support, but I was trying to think of immediate relief options. I would guess DNRS would take a couple of weeks to help, but perhaps that's as good as it gets.

I too was wondering what may be a quick bandaid. L-theanine maybe? GABA? Low histamine diet?

Motherwort, passion flower, Baikal skullcap (Chinese skullcap *root* ~ not American skullcap) These in tincture form worked best to calm my nervous system and lower brain inflammation!

Chinese skullcap calms me, too. I haven’t tried some of the other calming herbs.

I have this symptom periodically and get easily startled by sounds, too. Mold and herxing from treatments seems to cause flares.

Have had light/sound/smell/touch sensitivities in varying degrees since childhood. Suspect bartonella at least since childhood.

I’d highly recommend DNRS as well like the others said. In addition, anything that works on gaba. GABA supplements usually won’t cross the BBB, but if you wanted to go the pharma route temporarily gabapentin or klonipin would do it for a month and probably calm you down, allowing your CNS to relax and get out of the cycle. They both helped w my glutamate induced vestibular migraines and when I came off the migraines didn’t come back

Are these specific to bartonella?

Do any of these work better than the others? I haven't tried motherwort or passionflower

dcd mentioning migraines reminded me that my hyperacusis was worst back when migraines were a symptom for me, leading some doctors to suggest it was an ongoing migraine symptom (that occurred regardless of whether a headache was occurring). Supplementing magnesium and B2 calmed those way down.

L-theanine increases GABA and general feelings of being chill, calming the nervous system.

Klonopin didn't have much of an effect on the symptom for me, but even a tiny dose deadened me inside, so while I still felt the sound sensitivity, it bugged me less, for what that is worth. But of course your results could be different! Just throwing a few more ideas onto the table.

I dont know about sound,................. but to calm the nervous system:
1. Niacin (face flushing type) will work in 5 min.
2. Mag calm + passion flower + calmolie + lavender will work in 1/2 hour and make you tired...........+Kava kava for even more effect (hard on liver using long term though).
3. Lithium orotate 5mg calms gradually in a few hours without tiredness (post here on this yesterday)

I have sensitivity to sounds as well. Do you think holy basil would help at all? Sicksalamander is Chinese Skull cap something that you have to take everyday or can you take it as needed?[code]

Hope you're doing better. I have misophonia, which means certain sounds make me want to murder people, and I am extremely sensitive to noise in general.

One thing that helps is listening to ASMR videos:

A lot of people with anxiety use them too, or to sleep. It's weird, but maybe try it.
