Here is a list of triggers that impacted my tinnitus and how the tinnitus is managed. Any single one of these will trigger the tinnitus within 1-2 days and raised my level from a low of 1 or less than 1 to a high level of 4. Note once the trigger(s) are removed it take from 2-3 weeks for it to come back down. IT NEVER HAPPENS IN LESS THEN 2 WEEKS.
For Example, when prescribe an antibiotic and I’m at a level 1 or lower the ringing will start within a day, and will remain 2-3 weeks after I’ve finished taking the antibiotic. Therefore, a course of antibiotic for 10 days and then 2-3 weeks thereafter, I will have ringing for almost 5 weeks, providing I have not taking any other trigger(s).
The list is specific to me and may be different for each and everyone. I did this by establishing a baseline (some what challenging) and then documenting everything thereafter. Once the Tinnitus is trigger again, I needed to wait another 2-3 weeks for it to return to a level 1 or lower.
Note - Level 5 is highest noise level and level 0 is the absences of the ringing
