How did you go about testing for this?
Do some research on Tinnitus Retraining Therapy. I'm undergoing it for hyperacusis and tinnitus as a result of my head injury. At my worst point, the sensitivity to sound and ringing in my ears was so bad I couldn't even stand the sound of my own voice. Now I'd say my tinnitus is noticeable maybe 20% of the time - and when it is –*it's much more tolerable.

I've also found that Neurontin helped reduce both tinnitus and hyperacusis significantly.

Try and maybe listen to some pink noise or white noise at low volumes and see if it masks the tinnitus, and makes your ears feel better. If it does - I'd definitely check out TRT.

It's helped me for sure.
