In January when my symptoms started to get better so did my hyperacusis.
It was such a delight to be able to listen to clanking plates, kids shouting, all the sounds that you would normally be able to handle when you don´t have sound sensitivity. I did not expect a remission with that alongside a remission from deltoid, trunk, bulbar, mild DV etc etc.

Nor did I expect it to come back just a little over a month ago, with the addition of mild tinnitus sounds, after I had a flare up with the original muscle sets. (especially hands)

The worst sound sensitivity was a 10 in previous years (small taps on plate with spoon/knife) Now it is back as a 5. It is certainly back and not resolved again quickly with the other symptoms this summer.

I simply wanted to share my happy discovery in that I was diagnosed with hyperacusis, and that it isn´t always permanent in all cases. (I have a suspected atypical MG diagnosis)


It was interesting to read this:

´Hyperacusis (increased auditory volume in an affected ear) may be produced by damage to the seventh cranial nerve. This is because the seventh cranial nerve innervates the stapedius muscle in the middle ear which damps ossicle movements which decreases volume. With seventh cranial nerve damage this muscle is paralyzed and hyperacusis occurs. Furthermore, since the branch of the seventh cranial nerve to the stapedius begins very proximally, hyperacusis secondary to seventh cranial nerve dysfunction indicates a lesion close to seventh cranial nerve's origin at the brainstem.´
