The biggest determinant of how fast you will heal is how quickly you return to normal sleeping patterns. Since April of this year, I have been suffering from an acoustic shock caused by a high-frequency hearing test that exposed me to 12,000 Hertz at 90 decibels. This turned my mild to...

Have you tried consulting with ChatGPT? If you lay out your tinnitus history, including the things that triggered the initial onset and subsequent permanent spikes, along with any other relevant details such as COVID vaccines or COVID infections, it will provide you with a well-considered...

Have you tried Chatgbt? I have recently discovered Chatgbt and found that it was helpful and informative. If you lay out your tinnitus symptom history, including a description of the intestinal issues that you are encountering, it will provide you with detailed explanations and prognosis and a...

I suspect that your gut issues are associated with stress as opposed to being directly related to tinnitus. I used buscopan to relieve IBS. I have recently found that magnesium glycinate has relieved a lot of anxiety associated with my tinnitus and reduced cortisol. This has beneficial effects...

Thanks for your detailed reply. This is further evidence that the reckless and thoughtless actions of incompetent audiologists are a major cause of tinnitus suffering. My high frequency audiogram in April turned my moderate and manageable tinnitus into severe multitonal reactive tinnitus, which...

What are you going to try next for sleeping? I’m on 5 mg of Dayvigo, but it barely gives me four hours.

What I meant to ask is, did this high frequency test cause a permanent spike? Was that the reason for your suffering all these years?

I had a similar experience in 2015, which resulted in severe insomnia and significant weight loss over a period of six months. However, I recovered about 90 percent over the course of nine months to a year. The cause was the burglar alarm in my mother’s house.

My tinnitus went from moderate to severe reactive after a high-frequency hearing test in April of this year. It seems you had a similar experience. What impact did that have on you?

How are you doing, Juliane? What happened?

Three things are in your favor. The exacerbation of your tinnitus does not appear to have a definite cause, such as a loud noise. The exacerbation was recent (less than three months ago), which means it has a better chance of resolving than a long-standing spike. You seem to have some periods...

I’ve been taking Dayvigo (Lemborexant) for sleep for a couple of months, and it seems to work well when combined with 3 mg of Melatonin and 150 mg of Magnesium Glycinate. Good luck. I haven’t found any references suggesting that it causes or worsens tinnitus, and it hasn’t affected my tinnitus...

I took Trazodone for a couple of months, and it seemed to help with sleep without making my tinnitus worse. I also took Mirtazapine for a few months in 2024, which caused heart arrhythmia, but I did not notice any change in my tinnitus.

I had a similar experience with Clonazepam back in the 1990s. I took it for a few weeks, it reduced the tinnitus, and after that, I was able to sleep naturally.

Are you saying that you got permanent spikes from riding your bicycle?
