Luis, you describe yourself as a "very quiet study man." You also say that since January you have had ear pain "day by day." Please tell me if you have the pain even when you are in relatively quiet areas.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. No bird ever soared in a calm. Adversity is what lifts us. -

Hi Dr. Nagler: I hope you are doing very well. Thank for answering me. Sometimes, I've had ear pain even when I am in relatively quiet areas...sometimes no. When I sleep, I put pink noise during night and I don't have ear pain. When I wake up, I turn on TV for listening news...sometimes after 10 minutes, I have ear pain...sometimes I don't have. For example, sometimes bus motor is very loud to me...sometimes, it isn't.

Hi Dr. Nagler: I hope you are doing very well. Thank you for answering me. I went to ENT and I already had all the exams, including computed tomography and magnetic resonance. I don't have any tumor or infection. When I said my ear pain that can occur even in relatively quiet areas, I would say the follow example: last night, I taught law class on university. After 3 hours, I went to my house with some pain. During the night (at my house where a quiet area), my ear pain has increased for all night (from 1am until 9am). After I woke up, my ear pain was still increased when I was at my living room (another quite area in my house). On 9am, while I took my breakfast at my kitchen (another quit area), my ear pain decrease a little bit. Please, I ask you: 1) Would not this situation seem with hyperacusis? 2) My Ent has prescribed betahistine for 2 months. He told me if betahistine won't work, another way is take selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIS) because it can work to reduce sensitivity of my ears (but I don't have depression). Have you known if SSRIS can work and treatment ear pain from hyperacusis? I would like to relieve my ear pain because I have had ear pain for 2 months...every day! Again, thank you so much for your attention and for the opportunity to learn with you!!! Have a nice Saturday! Luis Gustavo

Luis, to the best of my knowledge SSRIs do not help with ear pain from hyperacusis - or from any other cause for that matter.
