Ears are fizzing, hissing, sputtering, aching - like a festering wound.

So tired...

T is actually *slightly* quieter for the first time today, a week short of 4 months.

I can see how habituation is possible. My T changes once per hour, but today it stayed the same for 6. I was in sync with it. *Dee doo doo*

It's no longer the volume that gets me, it's the high speed rhythm and busy-ness. It's multiple bits of noise per second.

Listening to music changes my busy T to a steady dooooooooo. Not sure if counts as a spike, more like a shift?

Tinnitus back to atonal crashing today in both ears. Sounds like a muffled version of people vigorously shaking metal shopping carts.

Anyone else with noise-induced T where noise like music actually quiets it for a bit, and silence makes it 10x louder?

I have a tone in my left ear that sounds EXACTLY like the synth in the beginning of Extreme Ways by Moby.

Are there any success stories of ppl with multiple tones? Haven't seen any saying each tone left or faded in succession, just eee to gone.

Just started 60mg prednisone about 60 hrs after exposure to a fire alarm - spike only started at about 48 hours.

Trying a "Xanax mini" today - 2 parts passion flower extract for GABA boosting and 1 part CBD. Works okayish?

The "novelty" of my T is gone for my family. Now, they mostly leave me alone, or avoid me. i suppose they don't deserve to suffer with me.

Anyone else have tinnitus comprised of many small "pings" of noise rather than a continuous tone?

Got that tinnitus like pff pff pffff pfffdddd pf pf pf pfffffffff pf pf pf pfff pffff pff pf pffffffff.

Reactivity seems to hint at some form of damage never explained. When your T spikes for a few hours from mundane noise, it's just not right.

Tinnitus never stops CHANGING. 3 months in and different sound every damn day. EEEE, metal cutting, buzz, hiss, tonal beeps, JUST STOP.

Spike from eating potato chips...wtf?

Today marks 3 months. It's not as bad as it was at first, but so tired of this noise. Horrified I may be saying the same years from now.

Tinnitus is bad today. No constant tones, just hellish irregular fast rhythm. Multiple asynchronous pulses per second in each ear.

The "like" function seems inappropriate for negative posts e.g. going through hellish spike right now. Basically schadenfreude button.

Took a Xanax today - I was speaking to someone when suddenly I thought I lost all hearing in my right ear. Turns out no, it was just the T.

Thank the lord for Xanax Saturdays.

What is up with tons of ear/head pressure in a dead-silent room? Even when the T is not a clear tone - it's like this vague "wall" of noise.

Tinnitus is very bad today - low, cool metal noise that for some reason is extremely unnerving. Days like today I struggle just to endure...

Tinnitus is low-ish, but I still want to rip out these incessant cochleas and stomp on them. Lowi-ish != silence.

Woke up to the quietest morning yet. Am sitting in a carpeted room, no windows open, no electronics running, and I feel okay. Hope it lasts.

My T is now "head noise" for the first time. I think this is easier because it doesn't seem like it's in my actual ear. Is this good or bad?

Pramipexole has softened the character of my tinnitus and made it easier to put into background. Problem is it only works so for so long.

Musical ear syndrome confirmed. I listened to Mozart for 1 hr, and after stopping, I still hear vague violins, like someone in another room.
