I'm on a project that requires more time than I can commit. If I request offboarding, am I less likely to be considered for future opps?
this is by far my favorite song off the record. I’m a songwriter as well and was trying to figure out what kind of feeling it reminded me of because it’s super reminiscent of like an emotionally unraveling 90s/00s rock vibe, and realized today it totally gives me Butterfly vibes!

LA friends: I am searching for an amazing luthier who works on Guild electric guitars and vintage instruments who is detail oriented, cares about cosmetics, and about sourcing the right part etc. (Will not talk down to women is a bonus too.)
I worked for four years to get back a guitar that had a lot of sentimental value to me. I wanted the nut to be original as someone had upgraded it so I took it to a local “master luthier” to swap the nut with another guitar of the same year make and model with instructions to call me if there were any issues with fit and not to do anything invasive. Neither nut fit, but instead of calling me, the guy just went ahead and did the swap. He made a very crude shim, now there is a stress crack in the wood and finish, and paint bleed. It looks not at all original or like it came from the factory. Was perfect before

Issue is purely cosmetic, but absolutely devastating to me. I would rather just have paid the guy not to do any work at all. This guitar is my most cherished possession. I really need to find an amazing luthier who will go out of their way to like source the right nut that will fit (it’s possible the nut slot is lower than factory as someone had upgraded to a GraphTech who owned it before I got it back), and be very careful with the cracks in the finish and restore it to how it looked from the factory. Happy to pay extra for a luthier that works with professional musicians, and cares about quality.
I don’t live in LA anymore, but I grew up there and I only feel comfortable taking it to an LA luthier now haha so I would really appreciate recommendations haha
Anywhere in LA is fine. Valley, West LA, OC, I am visiting soon and will drive for the right person haha
Hello, I've shied away from this sub because I am less interested in purely resolving symptoms of hyperacusis and more interested in resolving the underlying inflammation causing it. Mine was triggered by an acute injury, and is clearly related to neuroinflammation.
I've tried many of the popular supplements, as well as benzos and gabepentin and corticosteroids, and other than corticosteroids, I have found that megadoses, like 2000+mg a day, of PEA, a supplement that stabilizes microglial inflammation and is often used for mast cell activation syndrome, has been the single most helpful intervention, second only to dexmethasone injections. I would put the PEA megadose at around 50% efficacy of a steroid shot. Oral prednisone I would put at 25%.
Thought I'd share in the hopes it helps others. Magnesium, NAC, etc. also helpful obv. All an order of magnitude less than PEA. I started megadosing after realizing that the normal dose improved my symptoms drastically but wore off within hours. It is expensive but a miracle drug for me. YMMV.
To my surprise, there is a clinical trial ongoing, as of Feb 2026! https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06718452
I'm also working on a blog post about all the medical interventions I've tried, which were effective, and which weren't - and the different possible pathways of inflammatory injury.
Edit: I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the responses. I can’t give anybody medical advice. I’m going to delete my comments, but leave the post up. I won’t be responding to any more questions.
I have one scheduled for end of July. I am a musician with severe hyperacusis. Have heard it can be loud (how loud?) but am curious to hear first person anecdotes from people who have had this done. Thanks

I'll be on vacation later this year, and was curious if it's safe for me to stop working on DA for about two months, or if this will completely jeopardize my ability to have access to projects.
